going against the grain,eh?

This game is no where near in doubt, but reading these comments you would think so. She is playing people that many wanted to see her play and people are still complaining. We are getting closer to SEC play and she has to see who she can count on moving forward. Jaiden being in concussion protocol and Keyen being out for the season possibly opened up two spots (minutes) for bench players who probably wasn't going to play much in SEC play, let's see what they have

I think the complaints are not about if we will win the game. It's more towards how everyone, starters and subs (outside of Davis) are playing against a team that Massey has ranked at #335.

We literally just can’t hit anything 5 feet or shorter and it’s 50/50 in transition :/

I don't understand why we play down to lesser talented teams. We are playing alot of freshmen getting some court time but I still don't feel comfy with this game YET

This has been Tennessee’s problem for years. Say what you will about Baylor, uconn, etc., but they bring it consistently no matter the opponent.

I can’t believe we got a long rebound

another aspect of having little or no killer instinct, which is required to be a champion

I joined mid second, and like now 21 and 10 are out there. What is that about?

I’m not surprised that there has been a bit of a letdown look to this game coming right off the high of the upset win at Indiana, followed immediately by a mentlal blow of another COVID cancellation, followed by the uncertainty of whether there would be a replacement game, then the craziness of wrapping your head around a surprise game.

It’s all exhausting, and made even more exhausting by the fact that they all have to be constantly aware/worried about protecting themselves and each other from contracting the virus. I can forgive them for not being 100% today because I know theyknow they won’t be able to do tgat once SEC play starts.

49-29 after 3 quarters.

They scored more than the others

 

[gule]

no double double for davis today?

 

[VolBalls33]

I think a hard 3 hour practice with the post players doing contested layups over and over and over and over would be better than playing this garbage UNCG team.

How badly are we getting outrebounded?

 

[KrazyVolFan]

JH silly foul after to, she still seems frustrated

 

[stllvf]

Greensboro players making some tough shots - hands in face

We're winning the boards. 39-29 so far.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Tess Darby with a big THREE ............. GBO !!!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The whole TN team missed a bunch of easy bunnies right there ...... pitiful.

63-40 with 1:00 to go.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

We win this game ............ but it's an ugly as hell win ...... TN is 5-1 for now . GBO !!!

Girls come back to school Dec. 26th for practice and have another game on the 28th.

Get home and stay healthy ladies!

 

[th2421]

Didn’t look great today but will take 23 assists on 27 field goals and only 10 turnovers.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Intersquad. Not sure how to feel about that performance. UNCG was scrappier than I had imagined. Credit due, given.

 

[Volfan2012]

We'll have to make some of those 25 layups and short jumpers we missed going forward but overall not a bad effort since we basically won with our bench. Burrell and Davis played about 20 minutes between them.
