Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs LSU: SEC Semi; 6:30 PM on ESPNU (((WIN 69-67)

[madtownvol]

I think most everyone is saying much the same thing as I am thinking. The supporting cast to RJ and JH must play excellent, productive basketball. They need to score 30+ points.

If Rickea scores 70 and Horston adds 30, the supporting cast won't matter. Just sayin'.....

Here's the "redemption" game everyone wanted. Chatter on the forum all season has been "LSU is overrated," "Tennessee would be ranked as high as LSU with their schedule," "Tennessee would beat LSU away from their homecourt," etc. Well, now we will find out, and Kellie has one more opportunity to get a signature victory this season. Let's see what you've got...

You know, that is a fair comment. Sometimes, the LVs have been close and no cigar and sometimes they have been dominated by higher ranked teams. But this season, the one consistency has been losing these high profile games. It is time to put up or shut up on whether or not they can compete with the upper tier.
The time is now because winning this game probably improves their seed and their odds of making it back to the Sweet 16. Hands down, the most pivotal game of the season to this point.

I think Striplin will have to be an offensive threat today. I would love to get Reese in foul trouble.

If we run our sets properly keep our dribble tighter and rotating properly on defense and most importantly boxing out text book we can win. Because Angel is a good rebounder but if you put a body on her she will go over your back and she’s foul prone when you actually play on her weakness. She pulls the ball literally from her hip smaller player need to dig and get it ..!! Lady Vols only beat themselves no one has truly dominated us we don’t keep pressure and make teams unsure of themselves!!!

She will go over your back but it never gets called.

I know but we can learn from yesterday game she will foul if we can get her to sit until half time is the goal. Take her and her team out of rhythm the feed off her

This game comes down to stars if Horston plays well with Jackson it makes others job easier and we win 72-68. Looking forward to game time. Go Lady Vols. In CHRIST Alone

LSU has the better coach and the better all around players. They had balanced scoring from 4 players last night while the LVs depend primarily on one player. Horston has an incredible upside to her game that hopefully some pro coach can fine tune. But for now, I grimace every time she gets the ball. She had almost as many turnovers last night as made baskets, and so many wild shots that had no chance that they may as well have counted as a turnover. If it were not for Jackson, I don't think Tn would have been a .500 club this year. Cut off the head of the snake by clamping down on RJ, put some token pressure on Darby, and wait for Horston and Powell to turn it over and LSU advances 75-64. If that Ky player had suppressed her pony tail fetish last night, the Cats could very well have been playing in this game!

Are we close to starting the game?

 

[Volfaninfl2]

I’d much rather see a special about RJ than AR right before this game!

Are we close to starting the game?

Still about 14 minutes until tipoff.

 

[lvocd]

3 minutes to tipoff.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Anybody see the before game meet between Kellie and Kim, no love lost there I think.

 

[Voluble2]

If Mary Kay started a biker gang...

 

[TN1111]

Box out but don’t grab the ball. Good grief

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Starting tight

 

[casetopia]

Already with the terrible passes and kellie doesn't say a word.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Box out but don’t grab the ball. Good grief

She’s just too slow

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea open, Walker throws in group for a to

 

[Volfaninfl2]

So far, playing with no confidence.

 

[casetopia]

Watch how lsu actually makes their fast break layups.

 

[turbovol]

Walker is a medicore PG, and that's a problem.
