Game Thread Lady Vols vs Texas

First time I've got to watch a lot of a game this season, but we really have no offensive flow. I am not even sure what we are trying to do. Why are we just jogging back on defense and allowing them to skip it up the sideline so easy?

That play out of the timeout was pathetic.

You can draw up the plan but the players have to execute. They have passed the ball successful into Russell and she can't control the ball. Holly has done a creditable coaching job today. Players will need to play a little better the second half.

And UCONN keeps blowing teams out by 40. They play Chattanooga next. Will probably blow them out as well.

We are in this game against Texas #8 team in the country, so we are not as bad as some people may think. We are still in this game. Keep playing defense, box out their bigs and slow down Higgins.

We got to get some easy basket, get to the rim ladies. Texas physicality right now is kickin' our butt, only Jasmine on the boards has been strong.

Texas leads 29-24 at the half. It shouldn't matter how long this team has had to practice together. We have 7 All American's on the roster and we score 24 points in a half against the team that lost by 50 in the NCAA tournament 7 months ago (minus Higgs)

We had offensive flow about the first 5 to 10 minutes and then our focus seemed to drift, untimely substitutions interfered with the flow, and then we succumbed to our bad habits.

But we're ranked 4th and playing at home.

I am thinking the half-time adjustment will be get the ball inside and watch the turnovers mount up.

That whole argument is BS. We have as much time to practice together as everyone else does.

If a team has scouted you and can take you out of what you want to do, yes you need players who can attack off the dribble, it don't have to be your offense the whole game, but you need players who can create off the bounce.

This team has no clue on offense. We would be better off if Holly told to go play like it was a pick up game. This is getting pathetic. They have no idea what they want to do today.

It took to long to develop they she be sent out there with a second option after they see what the defense is doing run with the best one

When Reynolds is running the team we look like a bunch of old ladies standing still. It is painful the way Cooper keeps making the same two fouls and having to sit hurts what offense we have.

We are playing on our own court. We should win the game.
Do you think a loss against a lower ranked team on our home court should be accepted ?

Exactly! Russell ugh! Damn she needs to play with a higher intensity, like Izzy and Glory. She looks fragile.

Hopefully we can clamp down get it to the fourth quarter even and have another one of our fourth quarter runs.

But that whole concept is overstated. It is great for street ball or the NBA.

But that is our entire offense rarely do we call a play where it creates an easy basket
