Game Thread Lady Vols vs Kentucky

[Sandvol]

It is like the whole team was docile expecting Harrison to carry the load and then when she goes down everyone picks it up.

 

[Volfan2012]

The five on the floor right now are playing great. Nared, Burdick, Graves, Massengale, and Carter.

 

[Sandvol]

These girls have played unconscious since Harrison went down.

 

[Voluble2]

Nice way to rally girls.

 

[Sandvol]

God, please let Reynolds get better. Please Harrison be OK.

Great win for the LadyVols! They showed a lot of fight today

 

[Volfan2012]

I like the five we had in there today and add Reynolds and Harrison and that is a great rotation. The seniors stepped up big today.

 

[VolEire]

Great win by the LVs! Hope Izzy is OK.

 

[Sandvol]

Really wish Holly would have given Dunbar some of Middleton's or Moore's minutes. We need somebody not afraid to shoot the three.

 

[FrozenLVFan]

But a very costly win.

The way Harrison's knee bent back like that reminded me of how she injured it the last time..It's just freaky how these things happen like they do..We can only hope that the injury looked much worse than what it actually is..

Hope not. We have Russell, Tucker, and Jones out for the year. Don't need any others.

She turns sideways and she disappears. She can only exist in one plane at a time.

Lmfaooooo @ "can only exist in one plane"

Yes, it was another valgus injury. Just the thing that brace was designed to address.

I concur..I'm surprised Middleton is getting ANY minutes the way she is playing right now..I can almost see a turnover happening when she gets the ball..It's her persistent dribbling that gets her in big trouble..

somebody listen to the post game thingy and see what is said about Reynolds, please.

I agree. Hopefully the brace helped to keep her leg from being injured badly. I did looked like it really hurt tho. I hope she is OK.

 

[Volfan2012]

Massengale 17, Burdick 14, Graves 11, Carter 11, Nared 10. That is some balanced scoring.

Now, let's not get too personal. I thought it was her knee?

beating UK is always a good day to be a VOL. lol

 

[LadyVol1908]

What I don't understand is why they don't play like that when Harrison is on the floor! They really picked it up after she went down.

Either way, she will miss some games. Best case scenario is that it's a sprain, but she may not recover in time for the NCAA tournament.

The good news is that Burdick and Carter are playing way better than she was vs. UTC and Texas. As long as they finish the season playing with passion and composure, I'll be happy with tthe result.

I think they depend on her aggressiveness too much. And, when she went down they realized they need to be aggressive.

 

[vol-un-tear]

I love beating Kentucky! Seniors stepped up without Izzy! Great win and GLV!!

 

[FrozenLVFan]

And we need a healthy Reynolds. She's the one that brings composure to the team. Mass had a good second half, but she's too erratic and you never know what you're going to get from her.
