SC runs an offense

Yup. We’re just hoping for something to happen.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Got it to single digits at the half. Should be ahead if not for the pathetic inability to hit bunnies

 

[Voltopia]

Second quarters have been abysmal for Tennessee lately. Let’s hope they come out with their heads on straight and are ready to compete as a team in the second half.

 

[AllVols3]

alright, I'm gonna turn this off and go to bed. horrible last 10 minutes...

Quitter!! Lol.

 

[Vols2015]

Why is it so hard for our team to play like they did the last minute the entire game? Nonetheless, 9 point deficit could be much worse. We’ve got to make shots!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

This game is our reality check. We still have a LONG way to go as a program

And there’s a reason no other teams play this way.

SC runs an offense

Yep and we need to drive and kick the ball back out. Just forcing every shot. Got to settle down and run the offense. Everyone is trying to be the hero. GLV

 

[therealitytheory]

SC knows who our 3pt shooters are and act accordingly.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

I saw nothing about South Carolina that suggested we can’t keep up with them. Kim just needs to find a way to bring things under control when we get into run and gun mode on offense. It kills our flow and we don’t really play good enough half court defense to prevent quick buckets when they get rebounds and run the other way. Creates big swings quickly.

 

[Orange.]

9 points. Not insurmountable. Hardly ideal.

Rebounding, the complaint of late, is much better. Got a lil rattled, but never stopped fighting. It's going to take an epic half. So I'm rooting for epic.

free throws too!!

 

[ttharp]

I wish Kim would run a play for Spear to get her going. She’s not going to get a shot off vs SC unless she’s WIDE open. Same with Tess.

Were not going to out one-on-one SC.

A look, the know-nothing troll surfaced.

Yep.

 

[Volfan2012]

Just 23 percent from the field, but have to give huge credit for playing really hard the entire half. Obvious that our biggest problem is a post player that can score inside. Were taking it in there getting to many blocked.

 

[Caz]

I’ve seen better pickup offense at the Y. This is very discouraging.

I agree. I just don’t know how this can work to this degree. I’m hopeful

 

[Voluble2]

No excuse for them to outshoot us from three like that. That was the difference in the first half. We keep leaving that corner three open.

Jewel and Cooper have the yips. Need to let some of the others shoot until they settle down.

 

[winkles18]

TN needs to get some kind of inside game, did not get any from HS so they gone have to get a big big that can rebound and defend the post

 

[alexvol]

Worst shot selection that I have seen since my Biddy league experience .......just throwing the ball up and hoping ....

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

we’re playing hard but the talent gap is beginning to show up now.

What game are you watching?

This game is our reality check. We still have a LONG way to go as a

It’s a 9 point game.

He trolls the men’s bball forum too. Just ignore.

 

[LVfanLasVegas]

SC shooting 50% and 42%
LV shooting 23% and 18%.

Damn

Not trolling, observing. I’ll gladly admit being wrong when the time comes.

 

[volsagain]

Rebounding much better. Only 2 assists tells you the problem got to pass to get open looks. Forced shots aren't falling. Settle down and take back over the game GLV

 

[SGMVols]

Eh. Pat used to press all the time in the 90s when we won 3 straight natties with the Meeks.

If she can string together another class or two like the one she’s built this cycle she’ll have to try to fail.

Our offense is a bigger issue than the press anyway. I would’ve taken 35 points allowed at half to that team
