Game Thread Lady Vols vs Syracuse in the Elite 8

[cwbytruckers]

Every time they show Holly she is looking up to the scoreboard for the Gods to give her a sign.

 

[Spacejam]

Washington also shoots the ball well including their post.

 

[cologal]

When Holly changed point guards the team changed. Now Graves and Carter both with banged up hands.

It was a better run than we expected.

But the Fat Lady is warming up her pipes!

Additionally we win the game technically (or by standards that matter)....our girls are prettier than their girls.

careful, that almost cost Imus his career

Amen brother!!!

Nared is the worst Lady Vol player I've ever seen. Carter ain't far behind her. Jeez.

This makes Warlick 0-3 in elite 8 games--and we've played badly in all three. Our defense was absolutely horrible in this game, generally, and more specifically Cooper and Carter were bad and we never got Russell untracked--and we needed her. We just didn't bother their three-point shooting enough--as we should have with our length.

Have played man or zone in the second half? We played too much man in the first half--not sure why Warlick went away from the zone that has been so effective. Any time your opponent makes 14 treys, you are going to lose.

 

[gray0306]

they didn't move the ball on offense, just sat there and let everyone sit in position....that's the team we saw all year

 

[orangealways]

So KD doesn't get to play w the starters and doesn't get to play w the subs??
How will she get better ?
Pack your bags KD. You deserve so much better.

I plan to watch that game Washington will be firing those threes and it should be a fun game.

Lol

The frustration this program has generated since 2008 warrants a certain level of criticism.

 

[governmentmule]

well I'm just flat out pissed off at the lack of effort in the 4th Quarter

Was Nared highly recruited? She just seems a little slow for this level of basketball

 

[Ladyvol777]

congratulate Syracuse

 

[Spacejam]

What the heck does looks have to do with the way they played?

 

[I81Exit146]

Carter played better last year. Not sure what happened to her. The knee injury maybe? I dunno. Happy they got this far. Maybe Syracuse can go to the final. I'm sure Samuel L Jackson will coach em up.

But but but she's made the Elite 8 in 3 of her 4 seasons and the Sweet 16 the other.

Man, how many parents does Dunbar have in this forum?

 

[casetopia]

finally this old ragged racehorse of a season has been put out of it's misery along with us fans.

No idea. Clearly nowhere near an SEC level player.

 

[VolnJC]

yeah me too..think frustration got the best of them and they quit..Holly should have cleared the bench like Barnes did

I hope she goes to Notre Dame - unless that is Warlick gets canned

 

[utkCREW]

Aww Nared is solid...y'all leave her alone.
