Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs Florida; Thursday 6:30 PM @ TBA; SEC+ LVs 74-56 win

[th2421]

Positive: we had 0 turnovers in that quarter.

 

[Coach Jumper]

We're 4 for 23 but at least we have 4 time out

 

[SGMVols]

Zone continues to absolutely perplex us, always seems likes we struggle to find any chemistry enough to effectively beat the zone. Jackson can usually shoot out of it eventually but it still isn't ideal

The offense should never, ever be “Hollingshead dribbles into a mid range jumper”

If I coached against this team I would never play anything but zone. That means losing rebounding but I’ll live with it if I get shot selection like this

 

[alexvol]

My only comment is .....maybe this gets our one horrendous quarter out of the way and good basketball follows for the next three quarters.

 

[SGMVols]

Positive: we had 0 turnovers in that quarter.

Florida isn’t trying to create turnovers

Darby always makes multiples when she shoots at least 7 threes in a game.
Since the start of SEC play, Walker is trending up. Powell is trending down.

Also, based solely on Player Efficiency Rating, several of our players have improved remarkably this year over last year:

Walker has averaged about 14 PER since SEC play started but Powell has been below 10 during the same timeframe.
Pretty good development, but we need it to show up on the scoreboard going forward.

Really good data, thanks. Lots of good numbers but the PG position is really rough

You cannot convince me that Horston and Jackson are not heads and shoulders better than anyone else on that court, talent-wise. Just feels like they should be tearing it up out there. Hmm.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Jackson is over compensating. Just play simple!

She will be ok

 

[Volstylexx]

Ok. We woke up. Started with strong defense… imagine that.

Both projected in the first round of the WNBA draft.

 

[Voluble2]

Maybe we swapped our first qtr for our usual 4th quarter?

 

[Volstylexx]

Yeah, we're not gonna shoot this bad for very long.

I hope !

 

[xtpsrh08123]

Florida playing Man to man and we all run to our spots and just stand....what in the offense nvm its been this way for a decade now

 

[Voluble2]

Darby second guessing herself now so Walker has to take the three instead of her later in the possession.

Your shooters have to shoot.

 

[And1]

Florida girl just stepped on the baseline right in front of the ref and no call.

 

[Sudden Impact]

did anybody see the FL player step on the baseline 3 times with a ref right there. How do you miss that call.

 

[Putbacks]

Ironic that the players have “Summitt“ on the back of their jerseys and casualness inside their approach.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

"We woke up feeling the cheesiest coach "

 

[Putbacks]

Uncontested layup….ugh!

 

[Voluble2]

Puckett's defense is bad tonight.

 

[Voluble2]

Walker needs to come out when she tries that stuff.

 

[Vols2015]

Puckett would be taken out after giving up on that florida made layup!

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Why doesn’t coach ask walker what was she thinking, u can’t just let her make these type of plays

 

[37620VOL]

I'm never complementing Walker again... lesson learned

 

[SGMVols]

Walker needs to come out when she tries that stuff.

She needs to drive to pass, not to shoot
