[Vols2015]

That was a push off on bueckers against hollingshead!

 

[SGMVols]

Bueckers got away with fouling twice in transition

 

[SGMVols]

Another 1-2 free throw trip

 

[Vols2015]

Nice block by spearman!

 

[Voltopia]

lol, ESPN guy’s like “that couldn’t have been on Paige Bueckers, let’s check that one again.”

 

[SGMVols]

Another airball 3

 

[mudcat1973]

spearman block

 

[suave410ec]

FIVE airballs by my count.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Getting close to being in trouble

 

[SGMVols]

Very lucky they threw that away. Had a 4 on 2.

 

[Vols2015]

Cooper needs to try going inside more. Good things have happened when she’s done that.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Our defense around the rim is so weak. Within five feet it’s almost automatic for the other team. I don’t get it.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Sound basketball beats unsound ball almost every time.

 

[lfvol]

Do we have 3 or 4 airballs? Spear, Darby, Spearman, Hollingshed. Others?

 

[Vols2015]

FIVE airballs by my count.

And did you notice Geno yelled on purpose when Spearman shot the 3? He even got closer to her acting like he wasn’t trying to be obvious.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Ugh! The bad shooting continues with this team .. to many rushed shots and lack of patience on offense ..

 

[utVolFanInVA]

FIVE airballs by my count.

Are you tracking missed layups / bunnies as well? Can't figure out how LVs miss so many of those. UCONN finishes nearly every shot within 2 ft of the basket. Just can't beat good teams missing those types of shots.

 

[glv98]

Ugh. Reminds me of one of my worst LV memories, the 2000 (I think) national championship game where Geno ran a back door and lay up coaching clinic on us.

We're very fortunate they're shooting so poorly.

 

[RAVOL]

The only difference in this game is shooting putting ball in basket they are better effort intensity is good but Conn has better individuals at doing the most important thing put ball in basket. Can't wait to have a roster 10 deep of scorers. In CHRIST Alone

 

[LVol]

Spearman is not a three point shooter

 

[Voluble2]

Same as this game always is. Good fundmentals vs. bad fundamentals. Level headed team against one that panics.

Gotta change that dynamic. But these airballs show how the team is not confident. You almost never win when that is the case.

 

[VolBalls33]

Aubrey Griffin and KK Arnold don't play much for UCONN and this game they look like starters. Everytime we play UCONN, someone off the bench comes out of nowhere. Ughh

 

[tnvols72]

turnovers and air balls

 

[SGMVols]

You have to be able to take advantage of Bueckers being out.

 

[LVol]

We need to spread the floor on offense
