Game Thread Lady Vols vs Oregon State

[Voluble2]

They are going to spread it out and drive by us. Then they will kick it out if we sag.

We will have to adjust our defense.

 

[Volfan2012]

No defense today guess they will be shooting layups.

 

[Voluble2]

Have to keep our energy up.

 

[Voluble2]

They are not guarding Carter at all.

Ariel just let that slow white girl go right by her.

Are you surprised?

 

[Voluble2]

Nared is a very weak rebounder.

 

[ShortyMac10]

Draya has a pretty shot

Draya has a pretty shot

Never heard anyone describe it as pretty.

 

[Volfan2012]

Turnovers galore. We turn it over everytime they do.

The last five minutes is a perfect reflection of why we are not great anymore. We've played pretty good defense, have gotten some turnovers--but we've stumbled around on offense, turning it over and scoring 1 point in the last six or so possessions. You can't be so inefficient offensively and be good. 0-7 last 3:37. Nared moves well but her shooting percentage is not good. She wasn't even close her last shot.

I mean it's pretty form but the ball doesn't go in as much as I would like it to

1 basket in six minutes. Nice to see Massengale take the ball to the basket.

Good gawd: Carter has got to start hitting shots. We are not good offensively.

 

[Voluble2]

If we had even one scorer on the team we would be much better. Izzy is good but everyone else is just very, very average.

 

[Voluble2]

We are lucky they are missing some of these shots. It isn't good defense keeping them from scoring.

 

[Sandvol]

Very poor ball and people movement on offense. Poor decision making.

 

[Sandvol]

Need more passing and people movement and less dribbling.

 

[Volfan2012]

This hasn't been a very good performance. Were missing to many free throws turning it over to much.

 

[Real Info]

Just make the easy pass!!!!

 

[Sandvol]

Play some defense Nared.

 

[ShortyMac10]

Why can't we gaurd the 3 ball?

 

[Sandvol]

We need to try some trapping.

 

[governmentmule]

wow what a finish to the half

 

[Sandvol]

Why can't we gaurd the 3 ball?

That last one Middleton was guarding but was just a great shot. The others we need to be in man to man and not zone. We need to try one trap and then if they make the pass switch to man.

 

[gfan]

We need to stop their 3's and make some 3's. Whatever happened to the live game blog?

 

[Sandvol]

It was a decent effort but our one glaring was we were too careless with the ball. Trying to be too cute with our passes. Need more ball movement. Make them play defense.

P.S.-Like I've said all week we have to stop the three.
