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

[tdd]

I think it‘s more likely than not at this point that this becomes the first ever LV team to miss the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately I think Kellie will get a pass even if that happens because of the loss of Key, though that alone shouldn’t be an excuse.

I think you are correct she gets a pass, but to think it would because the loss of Key is laughable. We have more problems than can be fixed by Kellie. She’s had plenty of time. We are a sad program right now. I can’t watch.

Playing Wright State is like having 10,000 camel fleas in your armpit

That was a good, honest half time interview.

Yes, Kelly addressed the lack of 3 pt D. I'm sure that will be corrected for 2nd half. The 3 is all they got. All in to stop that and will be a 40 pt win.

if it hurts you this much to watch dude, i’d suggest you stop watching it for your wellbeing.

I see that Kelly agrees it is a lack of discipline and a disregard of your teammates not to guard your man. No one was guarding their man when all of the threes were made. We are not in a zone so play your man.

Well turn it off and don't watch.

It’s already turned to something that is watchable. I could care less. How sad is that?

 

[Majors]

Well, Kellie said the same thing we are saying.

Players have to listen now.

Must of checked the board, since they have to get a pulse of what is being said.

You have to give it to the Lady Vols today,they are playing powerful Wright state to a standstill.
Kellie's substitution patterns continue to be mind boggling to me.Maybe the puzzle will become clear by March ....hope so.

With Key gone ,my starting 5 would be : Hollingshead,Puckett,Jackson,Horston, and Powell with Striplin,Franklin ,Wynn,Walker and Miles coming off the bench.Darby would only play a spot role against zones because she is only effective in shooting the 3 ball from the corners.The rest of the squad would play only when it is a total blowout. I would play the starters the majority of the game until some chemistry is developed .

What a block out by Striplin!

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin block and Horston with layup!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Striplin with a block.

 

[Vols2015]

Darby for 3, assist by Puckett!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Tess for 3

 

[Vols2015]

Horston layup and one!

 

[chuckiepoo]

Great start to Q3

 

[Vols2015]

We are looking so good right now!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Quick passes to Sara under the basket looking good.

17 assists and only 7 turnovers! It seems like our post entry passes have really improved and/or players are just getting better position in the paint (or the defense isn't sagging in to clog the paint like they did with Tamari?).

 

[Voluble2]

Horston and Puckett are developing some chemistry together. Jordan is looking for her on those assists.

It could be we are playing a 1-7 Wright State team.

 

[Vols2015]

Rickea is so smart with her hesitation for an and one play!

 

[Vols2015]

Franklin power move down low to end the half with the assist by Jackson!

 

[lvocd]

Gawd I love Franklin's game!

 

[Jax_Vol]

Come tournament time, I wouldn't want to play us as a 10 seed.
