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

Kellie wants the offense to go through the paint. That's ok but we have to have someone who can shoot the 3 ball for that to happen for us. It's hard for Jackson and Horston to drive when we don't make 3's. I like Striplin shooting the 3. She has it good all year when she has put it up.

I just dont understand how you let of all people cooke go off with open shots drive to the basket in a DAMN zone i just dnt get ive said it a milion times any guard with a pulse is goin to annihilate us...against teams like this you cant pick choose what part of the scouting report you want to do this is either low basketball IQ or horrible coaching but this seems to be the norm

Game was all about rebounding just as I suspected it would be. Plus twelve shots for South Carolina. 60 for us and 72 for them. That is how they beat you. Plus Fletcher who hasn't scored any points puts up 15 tonight that was a key stat for them. Still those 12 extra shots they got were plenty to make for a 13 point win.

Scout says let fletcher shoot well tonight she stepped up. When that happens they become even tougher to beat.

The huge difference between SC and most teams is the way they rebound the ball and set up a shot differential in games. They struggled at Ole Miss because they kept the rebounding close. Still when their perimeter players play as well as SC did tonight you can't beat them. You have to try and stop Boston and Cardoso which we did a good job of this game. Their perimeter players took the challenge and made open shots.
I don't expect us to do much this season from here on in. Kellie doesn't grasp who needs to be in the game and she lets some players go rogue on the court out of the team concept.

When she got going it was because players lost her trying to defend post even when you didn't need the 3rd player inside. I'm calling out players on this one everyone knows you do not let her get going. In CHRIST Alone

Here we go with the officiating lol every message board it is the same stuff when they lose blame it on the refs. How about rebound the ball and Horston play under control and guard Cooke that didn't have any effect on outcome I presume

SC is beatable. Should be an interesting tournament. Shout out to Rickea for playing through some tacky calls and Striplin for her 3’s. Unfortunately we needed more (and sometimes less) from a couple of others.

Striplin played well and stepped up while JH was off even with 14 points. Darby 2 points can’t happen but is her norm in big games.

You have to play every possession like it matters. You just can't fling shots at the goal. You have to work for the good shot. When you are playing a team that rebounds like they do then it is better to use more shot clock to set up a good shot. Just rushing down the court and throwing up a quick shot is not a way to win against a team like them. Ole Miss had the right idea just couldn't quite make enough shots and missed to many free throws. Their game plan was much better than ours even though they lost just like we did.

I will say this I would take the 6 seed in Utah bracket we would athletically match up better in this one and Jackson would be best player in every game. In CHRIST Alone

Getting open to shoot the 3 is more of a problem than shooting them

I thought the refs did fine in this game. There are always a few questionable calls in a game, but you hope they break even. We've seen way too many really, really bad women's college bball refs... but this game wasn't close to that situation.
We didn't play smart after the 1Q, took some early shots without any team offense and too many times played out of control. Rebounding and block outs were not our thing tonight.

Ok, impressive debate. I also don’t think the SEC is all that good overall. LSU has one player that is very good offensively and a good rebounder/defender that is offensively limited which is why SC boat raced them. Elite eight is a reach imo.

This program has plenty of support and backing and a great winning tradition and history. What is sad is this has all been patch work at the top since Pat retired. Not all great assistants make good head coaches. Not all great players make great coaches. We need to go find the right person, who can coach and recruit and who wants to win and bring back the greatness to the program.

Got out-rebounded pretty badly, not enough assists and not nearly enough complementary scoring. Darby with 2 points? That's a problem. Not enough offense.

Pass, screen drive right results in a circus shot. Come back do it again on the other side. Pass, screen, drive left results in a turnover. They come right back down and freaking do it AGAIN!! Same ole play again and again.
