Game Thread: Lady Vols vs. No. 1 South Carolina; 7PM Thurs, ESPN

[sechamp2012]

USCjr scored 23 2nd quarter Z Cook is the difference

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Needed that 3, how many timeouts did Kelly take with her into halftime

 

[th2421]

Huge 3 by Striplin. Needed to make something positive happen going into the locker room.

 

[ttharp]

Waited way too long to call a timeout. Game over.

It’s wild how Jordan Horston goes from looking like a pro in the first quarter to looking like her freshman self in the 2nd. Consistency continues to be an issue for her. I hope someone on the staff can refocus her during ht

 

[RAVOL]

Started when Tess got out ran to a rebound

Yes and just did it again then you do not block out shooter.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Lucky that shot didn't fall, lucky to be down only by four at the half. Plenty of time to play like they did in the first quarter.

 

[Vols2015]

We are so lucky to be only down by 4. That was a pathetic 2nd quarter. Rebound after rebound, watched our opponent go get the ball.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Horston has single handedly given up
The lead. 6 bricks with 4 air balls. All on the 2nd quarter. And a turnover or two also. She’s talented. But when she makes one good play her confidence rises and then she tries to hard.

I’ll be glad when she’s gone. Too much inconsistency and acts like she doesn’t want to be there

 

[Volfaninfl2]

YES! Striplin for 3!

 

[Peas29]

Made layups would have us up right now

 

[SGMVols]

They have 16 O boards

 

[volnationnj]

Jackson must go back in. She's half the offense. Without her other players think they have to do it alone.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

There should never be an offensive rebound on a FT, no one had shooter to box out, simple fundamentals

 

[TN1111]

GET THE REBOUND! We are packing the paint and still can’t get a rebound.

We stand, do not box out, and then refuse to jump for a rebound. Horston does but that’s about it.

 

[vol94]

Jackson had to play 2nd half. If she picks up her third then you still have to keep her on the court.

Horston? IDK what goes through her mind.
Rebounding was Atticus is in the 2nd qtr. I understand they have length but box out and be quicker to the ball.

 

[knoxvol52]

Well second half will not go very well watch South Carolina come out with a 10-0 run

 

[Orange_Mamba]

How effective can Darby be this game? the SC guards are closing out so fast she can’t get her shot up.

 

[lfvol]

Darby can’t rebound a ball from the rack!

Just does one thing. It’s a conundrum because she does that well. Should have a rule, do not dribble.

 

[th2421]

I’ll be glad when she’s gone. Too much inconsistency and acts like she doesn’t want to be there

Where do people get this idea that Horston doesn't want to be there?! I don't see how anyone can question JH's commitment to this program and her desire to win.

 

[ttharp]

15-0 run and not one timeout called make it make sense lord.

Against the #1 team in the country. I’ll never understand.

 

[zaqhhh]

Told myself I wasn’t going to watch the first half just check in around halftime to see the score. Pleasantly surprised to see us hanging around

 

[DarkPhoenix]

We are so lucky to be only down by 4. That was a pathetic 2nd quarter. Rebound after rebound, watched our opponent go get the ball.

We aren’t lucky, we should be up if we didn’t make all those mistakes down the stretch, we literally gave them the lead

 

[kell7517]

I’ll be glad when she’s gone. Too much inconsistency and acts like she doesn’t want to be there

Inconsistency is the word for sure. She’s probably one, if not the most athletic on the floor any night. Then something triggers her confidence(good or bad) and plays outside of herself and it goes downhill and fast.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Needed that 3, how many timeouts did Kelly take with her into halftime

Pretty sure she took the use it or lose it TO.

 

[therealitytheory]

Too bad we don't figure in the 16 seeds. Probably won't be there next year, either. Am I wrong?
