Game Thread: Lady Vols vs. Wright State 2:00 pm SECN+

[Voluble2]

I like or team playing, doing inside and outside damage on the offensive end! We’ve been active on defense, but collapsing in the paint too much given how well they are shooting 3s. If we tighten up on defense, this game will be over in no time.

Gonna have to give up on bringing help inside and collapsing for rebounds. Just play them straight up and they can't beat you.

Jackson is in!

So glad Rickea is back!

 

[Vols2015]

Nice to see Rikea make that jumper!

 

[VolBall09]

Need to just switch everything. They are all tiny anyway.

 

[Fatoldman]

She needs to build confidence before post season. I believe she can really help this team if she gets more minutes.

She is not physically strong enough right now. Unfortunate but that is a fact and it affects her ability to contribute this year.

 

[Voluble2]

Marta got caught sloughing in. Can't do that with their perimeter players.

 

[Ladyvolfan45]

The defense needs to tighten up

 

[zaqhhh]

Uninspiring 1Q against a bad Wright State team.

We will win regardless but we would do well to pick it up

 

[th2421]

8 assists on 9 baskets that quarter.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

I can’t say how badly I hate to see us dribble down time so a short guard can “drive” to the basket.

 

[Voluble2]

Not sure what is so hard about staying on your man on the perimeter. No reason to come off them just because the ball reverses. We will still outrebound them.

The area crowd looks a little slim, 2nd game in a row

Miles is the last person you want handling the ball and taking the shot in that situation. Even among our short guards, she is the worst choice there.

 

[Vols2015]

Jasmine Franklin stepping in for the charge!

I don't hate it in this game, though. Miles hasn't played nearly as much this season, and this seems as good as opportunity as any to put her in those types of situations and give her the experience.

This is a terrible Wright St team. Massey has them ranked 387. That means there are plenty of Division II teams ranked ahead of them. The LV's have to pick up play. This should be a 40+ point win.

 

[Voluble2]

Nice entry pass from Justine.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Coach is giving Justine and Miles a chance to play with our starters, Horston, Rickea, and Franklin.

Our offense looks good, but this is the exact type of team we've struggled to defend for years.

 

[Voluble2]

We just don't defend the three at all.

Apparently it is not something we are willing to do.

 

[VolBall09]

What is the deal with teams just shooting lights out against us?

Even wide open people don’t shoot 60%

It’s ridiculous lol.

 

[Vols2015]

We have got stop missing layups!

 

[VolBall09]

Doesn’t look like a lack of effort necessarily. We are playing hard. Just getting burned on the 3 at the moment.


They can’t guard us so if we could string together some stops it would be over.

we refuse to stay on our man. Running out to them after they have eyed the basket will not work an average shooter will hit those. Stay on your man will help.
