Listen I hate to say this… I know when she’s on she’s on… but I’m glad Sara isn’t playing as much. It’s been rough with her this year

She’s on a very short leash at this point. If she starts well when she goes in she’s getting about 15 minutes. If she doesn’t play well right away she’s getting around 10 and that’s likely to decrease more.

21 All to end 1st. Vandy playing that quarter like we thought they would intensity and good shooting. Now can they keep it up for 3 more quarters without the quality of depth we have. In CHRIST Alone

I don’t understand how they are getting such clean open 3s.

Spencer went under the screen instead of over on one of them.

Puckett actually played it well on one possession, and boxed Pissott out into the cheap seats on another.

How do you not know the clock in that situation?

She does have temporary lapses of focus. Fortunately, after she has one she usually learns from it.

 

[lvocd]

Great job on the boards there!

 

[SGMVols]

How are there no free throws there? She was going back up

And while we could be developing Favor, Destinee, or Avery to be able to take on meaningful minutes in March, Coach just can't accept that she was wrong on her preseason assessment of Sara in hope that she'll find her game eventually. If she hasn't found it 18 games into the season, it just isn't her season. We need a better 10th.

Missing too many layups for my liking. Plus we are not really getting any pressure on their offense leading to only 2 TOs.

 

[And1]

Whitehorn needs to start hitting those wide open layups!

 

[Vols2015]

Man these missed layups are driving me crazy!

 

[volsagain]

Please start making the bunnies Lady VOLS

 

[lvocd]

OMG! Great glass-crashing on the offensive end!

 

[Majors]

My concern for this game as it is for the men when they play in Memorial Gymnasium, is the adjustment to the layout of the gym for shooting 3’s.

Numbers so far are saying they are having a hard time adjusting.

Where was this rebounding vs OU and LSU! I love the growth, but man

And Iowa.

It's just a very matchup-dependant thing.

 

[RespectAPA]

Unless Vanderbilt adjusts and starts getting some high percentage shots out of the press break, I don't see how they stick with us for 4 QTRs.

 

[Vols2015]

I’m sorry, the 3s are not falling. I want to see us go inside and get some easy baskets.

 

[utVolFanInVA]

And Iowa.

It's just a very matchup-dependant thing.

Not sure, looks like effort. However, Vandy has been killing the OBs their last two possessions.

 

[lvocd]

I find myself wishing Spencer were exempt from the substition rotation and could play 40 minutes. lol

Okay, okay. I know even the great Samara couldn't keep tge defensive pressure up for 40, but I just always have a mini panic moment when she walks off the court.

 

[VolBall09]

The fact that we can defend like we have the first three minutes of this quarter and often choose not to do so will be this teams fatal flaw

 

[VolBall09]

Gonna let em play with us all day I suspect which is what I feared coming in.

 

[VolFanGBO]

Here we go…

 

[JCP201]

Baseball team deals with the "whistler" and now Lady Vols got to hear someone that sounds like "friday the 13" music.

Shooting 23% from 3 will keep other teams in the game
