Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs LSU; Thurs Jan 9th ; Home game; 6:30 PM Eastern; SEC+ stream

Patently false. You need to research the validity of applying a team based metric upon an individual.

Do you anticipate Spear's +/- to begin to be positive throughout SEC play at some point? Again, 5 games against power conference teams, and Tennessee is -42 points differential when she's on the court, and +63 when she's off the court. I don't see any reason why the sample size isn't sufficient to start to make conclusions. She should be playing fewer minutes, at a minimum.
 
This is not the end of the world .Plenty of time left to improve prior to NCAA Tourney .Just need to play better defense and rebounding.If those adjustment's can be made and execution on offensive end improves where they have better shot selection and share the ball better this team will be very dangerous in March /April .

Going to cut away now and go watch the Football playoff game ....ND/PSU .Good night folks.
 
The officiating was probably as close to even as I’ve seen. On those layups when the defender hands is straight up our players just have to learn to finish through contact.
We were literally a handful of missed layups away from the win tonight.
There were a couple of fouls that you could see clearly down the stretch and they didn’t call them. The Spearman Outback off of Spear’s missed layup is one in particular.

I saw that particular play. It was a foul.
They called it out on Spearman.
I will say that same call went UT way at halfcourt when Coop stripped Williams in the trap and found Spear in the corner for the game tying 3pt shot that made it 87-87.
They were trying to let both teams play some down the stretch but I agree it wasn’t 100% consistent.
Hopefully we can get to a level of play where poor and inconsistent officiating won’t set us back in games we give ourselves a chance to win at the end.
