Game Thread Lady Vols vs Notre Dame

[Bodeydad]

Stop the three!!!!!!!!

 

[governmentmule]

about time,somebody has to be guarding them against the wide open 3s

 

[volforlife15]

What the hell is Izzy doing?

 

[YankeeVol]

Good time out.

better late than never

 

[governmentmule]

Harrison never needs to dribble.

she is having a terrible 2nd half

 

[GBO18]

When was the last time we beat a top 5 team?

 

[Sandvol]

This team got their offensive rhythm in the first half by moving and passing and not dribbling. This half they are dribbling.

 

[governmentmule]

somebody should have drugged CPS into the locker room at the half and let her give em hell

 

[smooth_1911]

it's like two different teams

 

[Voluble2]

Well, at least we played a good half.

This team has no confidence at all. Very hard to root for this bunch when they play tentative like this.

 

[Bodeydad]

Put fresh players in. Jones could be all over the perimeter shooters. Forget the paint and defend theTHREE!!!!!

 

[armchair]

As I feared, we have not been able to sustain our smart offensive play--and nd is making EVERYTHING. Why have we stopped getting the ball to our bigs? Russell had great position a few moments ago and nobody passed her the ball. Get the ball inside. What's really bad is that we're getting beat by their guards when we've had three guards in the game--mass, simmons and carter. Stop trying to trap ND--they pass the ball too well for that. Stop the trapping.

 

[GBO18]

Wide open layups.

 

[Voltopia]

That's how you beat a zone.

 

[Voluble2]

Different people are taking shots for us this half.

 

[SGMVols]

Holly Warlick is Derek Dooley with breasts.

 

[GBO18]

Any resemblance of a defense would be good too.

 

[armchair]

You have to be patient on offense--and pass the ball. Don't start dribbling around and playing dumb. This is why we can't beat good teams--because we can't sustain smart offensive basketball.

 

[ChattyVolfan]

Two completely different teams. I'm afraid the LVs from the last 2-3 games came out for the second half instead of the ones that showed up to start the game. Sigh...

 

[governmentmule]

damn it Goat,I'm getting pissed lol

 

[Sandvol]

No we are standing around. Simmons set the tone in the second half by dribbling the ball for 15 seconds on the first possession and it hasn't stop. They all want to take their defender off the dribble. Move and Pass! It isn't rocket science.

 

[Bodeydad]

If we don't lead the nation in giving up threes we will after tonight!

 

[Sandvol]

Better. Keep it up. When you pass you get the defense out of position.

 

[Voluble2]

ND has changed their defense on the screens too.

We are trying to split it for some reason instead of pick and rolling.

 

[YankeeVol]

Holly Warlick is Derek Dooley with breasts.

Hard to imagine Pat picking her
