Game Thread Lady Vols vs Syracuse in the Elite 8

[Volstylexx]

It's over guys.

Carter is always dribbling too much. You don't dribble into a corner and get double teamed! pls. stop playing stupid.

 

[governmentmule]

damn the stupid ass turn overs

 

[casetopia]

how does russell take 4 steps and not go anywhere on that rebound try

 

[vol-un-tear]

Turnovers are ugly. Fix it or were out.

 

[mlindsay]

She put her in but on defense she didn't go after the rebound right in front of her. She looked like Cam Newton!

She's not the only one struggling on defense though some times you have to look past that

 

[Voltopia]

Two Syracuse players on the ground acting casual, one fiddling with their shoe, and you don't take advantage. This is it. This is the last game. That was an easy 5 on 4 or even 5 on 3. Sigh.

Looking like old Lady Vols today.

 

[LA Vol]

Playing like the have all year

Thought we'd turned the corner, though. Instead, it's back to the play that made this the losingest LVs team in history... right when they're on the verge of making the Final Four.

 

[YankeeVol]

41-35 'Cuse at the half

 

[casetopia]

we're lucky we're not down more

 

[1985Vols]

We are a much better team with Cooper than Carter running the point

 

[I81Exit146]

We need to play 1:1 with butler. They keep setting their offense at the three point line. 55 consistently sets moving picks...

It looked that way

35 - 41 half time

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Who ever is guarding Butler and Peterson should have their ass on the bench.

 

[Volstylexx]

There's no way they can keep shooting threes like this--these shots are from WAY out. Nine threes!

They shoot 30 Threes a game- they can and will keep hitting them.

 

[armchair]

We had meme jackson in the game at the end of quarter and not Dunbar. They will not shoot threes that well in the second half. We need to pass the ball to beat their press and get the ball in the paint!

 

[Sandvol]

Syracuse Coach is really doing a good job with team's confidence. Knocking down those threes they have been unconscious. We can't let those guards go free to shoot threes.

 

[Vols4us]

Back to the Holly of old. Somebody pour a bucket of ice cold water over her head, please. That was the worst 10 minutes of subbing in LV history.

 

[orangealways]

It's a game of 3s
They can make em
We not only can't guard theirs but can't make our own .
Free KD
Maybe she lets em score but the ones out there do too but they can't shoot

Sagging zone defense wreaks havoc on this team with no shooters

 

[jaybird_1981]

Yes she does and she also extends her arms constantly on the picks.

 

[Volfan2012]

You have to run a team like this off the three point line. Terrible defense by everyone. Were turning it over to much because Carter loves to dribble the ball instead of keeping it moving. I think they had 8 threes and if they get 8 more were done.

 

[governmentmule]

down by 6 at the half ,which isn't bad considering the unforced turn overs

that was a good play by DD
