Game Thread Lady Vols vs. UNCG

I don't care if it's a glorified practice. Anytime you can get these ladies on the floor playing together is a positive no matter the competition. Injuries are bound to happen at some point so this should be a good opportunity to get others up to speed and game ready. Work on the fundamentals, inbound plays, coach em up some. We will not have it easy after Christmas

Boy, UNCG could flat out sink those 3 footers during warmups.

 

[Rickster]

it looks emptier then before

still early but we may not break 2000 today

 

[Rickster]

I hope today is a breakout game for Rennie

I hope today is a breakout game for Rennie

I'm looking for them to get Key going and get her confidence up going forward. This is a game the post players *should* dominate...

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Let's kick some more butt today ..... that never gets old. GBO !!!

SIAP .......... Game is on the SEC Network.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

So far from what I see ...... we're just bumbling & stumbling through & shooting too quick.

Taking some 3 shots & missing. Suarez tried to dribble the ball going through two defenders .... WTH??

Thankfully, Davis decided to play today. I don't think the alarm clock has gone off yet for the rest of the team.

 

[Rickster]

Get the ball to Jessie

How does KK miss point blank layups? It’s mindboggling!

 

[VolBall09]

Sloppy start. If the posts would just take their time and finish we’d be up 20.

 

[volnationnj]

Why do we bother passing the ball to our centers in the low post ?
Even with a decided height advantage, they're not going to score.

 

[Only1COJ]

KK needs to practice nothing but FT’s and layups over the break. We are going to need her in SEC play.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I'm thinking the Lady Vols mentality in this game so far is they know they can crush this team by 30 & are being sloppy in their play. They wasted the whole 30 second play clock moving the ball around & missed a shot.

 

[NoBackBoard]

So far I’ve noticed a concerted effort to get the ball inside. May be based on the opponents’ skill and smaller size but I hope it continues.

 

[VolBall09]

How does KK miss point blank layups? It’s mindboggling!

She gets open but she cannot finish. It’s a mental block at this point. She needs to relax and not rush so much. Square up and finish. She’s always off balance and still turning when she releases the ball.

 

[Rickster]

Team should have stopped by Starbucks on the way in.

 

[VolBall09]

KK needs to practice nothing but FT’s and layups over the break. We are going to need her in SEC play.

Needs to do Mikan drill for an hour, both directions, every day. Her touch around the basket just isn’t very good.

I think we should get it inside but we should be posting up Horston, Davis and Burrell since they can finish. Getting it to the bigs didn’t do us a lot of good in that first quarter.

Would like to see us post up some opposing teams guards to prepare for teams like Arkansas where we will have a distinct size advantage at those positions.
