Game Thread Lady Vols vs St. John's in the NCAA Tournament

[orange plasma]

This doesn't look good. I don't understand the poor body language of the Lady vols. Be a shame to go down this soon in the tournament

This is reminiscent of the Ball State upset. This is bull......

A very undisciplined team...

Yep it's not a well coached team. This staff is more like a friend than a coach to most of these girls.

Our coaching is SO, SO, SO mediocre. Has been for years. Our "attack" against the St. Jones zone in this half has been utterly pathetic. Too much dribbling, Reynolds and Simmons rushing shots. We're clueless. Don't know how to use Russell; Graves and Jones a disaster.

4 possessions. 4 turnovers.

Carter has no idea what's going on right now.

Unfortunately, Tennessee's freshmen are susceptible to the freshmen wall. And their sophomores get sophomoritis. And the juniors get junioritis. And the senior has senioritis.

I doubt we get much further than this game. Were back to playing like we played at the first of the season. Burdick hitting shots is the difference in the game. Hopefully she can keep hitting so we can win tonight. I doubt we win another game basketball IQ is to low. We refuse to play lock down defense. I don't even want to talk about Jones. Why does she even get to play?

I agree with you completely..If we get past this game and win, I don't have confidence that we would in the next round...We are going to have to get and instant star ( I believe we need 2) in next year's class to become one of the elites...I know we got a #1 seed, but we are several steps below ND and Conn

I've seen better rec league basketball

Just hang on and hope they get all of this out of their system tonight. An effort like tonight will end up in a 20 point loss to Maryland.

 

[Spacejam]

well someone finally made a layup from our side.

 

[YankeeVol]

Third time is a charm

 

[Vol4Real]

Unfortunately, Tennessee's freshmen are susceptible to the freshmen wall. And their sophomores get sophomoritis. And the juniors get junioritis. And the senior has senioritis.

Huh?

 

[armchair]

Our size advantage might save us--certainly not our execution.

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Its a good thing this team can rebound really well. Missed shot after missed shot.

 

[YankeeVol]

2 cities, 2 games, 2 days, 1 man! Butch Jones is a tremendous supporters of Tennessee Volunteers Basketball and Tennessee Lady Vols Basketball ‪#‎OneTennessee‬

 

[Amb3096]

I see the sophomore version of Meighan Simmons is back. She should get assists for her missed shots on a 4 on 1 break when the posts grab the rebound off the miss and score...

 

[Spacejam]

They should have been used their size to their advantage from the beginning of the game.

 

[Amb3096]

Huh?

Just pointing out the maladies that seem to affect the Tennessee team...not by player, but by team.

 

[YankeeVol]

Burdick came to play

 

[Spacejam]

Russell isn't scoring but at least she is grabbing rebounds.

 

[boxerpupsrcool]

They've finally decided to play some defense!!

 

[Amb3096]

12-2 run. After 30 min, Tennessee decided to play.

 

[Vol4Real]

Here We-go......

 

[Volfan2012]

Looks like were waking up guess nap time is over. Defense has gotten a lot more aggressive.

 

[Convoluted]

On the bright side, the foul shot defense is great!

 

[TN1111]

Finally !!! But why can't they play this way for a whole game... This up and down has been going on for years now.
