Game Thread Lady Vols vs. Western Kentucky

[37620VOL]

Was a block. She was in the circle. Poor call.

Still hate the shot. Find one of your open teammates, don't barrel into 3 defenders.

 

[T.J.]

After 10 mins I see who should be starting and not.

 

[Rickster]

Got to get out on those wings earlier

Agree, it was a messy play. In her defense key rolled when she should have popped and brought her defender to Horston.

 

[volnationnj]

who started the game? just now got tuned in to the audio broadcast.

Page 1 has the starting lineup. One surprise.

 

[lvocd]

Surely soon the obvious nerves will settle. We all expected nerves, but I know I was hoping it wouldn’t take long to start rolling. Maybe that Burrell-to-Davis play will get them going!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Marta is quick, strong, plays with confidence, rebounds. She does it all.

 

[ttharp]

Here we go. This seems to be the lineup.

 

[GameTime]

Suarez is a Tiger!!!

 

[VolBall09]

Much better second quarter. Shaking off the cobwebs. Suarez has already put any recruiting worries about this staff to rest. She may be the steal of the year in the country. She’s a ready made ball player as a freshman.

7pts 5rebs 3asst talk about a state line for your first half of lady vol basketball ever!

Marta and Walker have been bright spots so far. For the rest, I’m hooping it’s just jitters because......oooof.

Rennia has been solid and Rae has shown better patience ... SO FAR... TK also looks to be moving better and running harder down the floor.

KK NEEDS TO FINISH and Jordan H needs to PULL UP and shoot. no need to get to the rack all the time pull up and shoot the short jumper!!

They’ve come out much better! i know kellie could press this team to death and run up the score (it would be more fun) but Kellie is giving just about everyone a shot.

Free throws need to be a thing though

 

[NoBackBoard]

I get the sense this team could player a lot faster. They should push the ball after defensive rebounds. I’m sad because I really wanted to see Tess shoot today.

 

[GameTime]

Go ahead Darth tell us how bad Suarez is....LOL

Yes would love to see some more steal score possessions. Should be getting more in transitions. Our bigs have not collected the defensive rebounds as well as they could to start the break.

Here we go. This seems to be the lineup.

I agree!! Looks like the starters just needed to settle down. With 3 newcomers in the lineup the nerves in the beginning are understandable. I’ve been impressed with the newcomers so far.

Care to share?

 

[stlvolsfan]

Suarez!!!!!!

She looks damn good!

 

[Rickster]

The male official stinks

 

[T.J.]

Care to share?

Just replace Green with Tamari.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

Offense seems to have a better flow than previous years so far. Suarez will be our 6th man if not a starter by the end of the season hands down!

 

[lvocd]

Keyen Green goes up strong!

 

[volnationnj]

That 12-0 run, midway through the second quarter, broke the game open.
We should be pressing and running. If we don't do it this game, then when ?

 

[VolBall09]

Marta is an elite level decision maker. I can’t get over it. I’m in love! So happy she’s a lady vol.

 

[Rickster]

WKU had the shots from the wing but didn’t shoot well. Got nothing inside that I recall. 18 point lead at the half and everyone played except Emily.

 

[Volfan2012]

Surprised at the rotation but they really got the defense going in that second quarter. Should have fifty easy to many missed layups and free throws but nice half other than the shooting.
