But she came in, head up and hit her fist shot

Sara!!!!

 

[Mafiaboss]

Tess!!!!

 

[volfan__18]

if we hit threes like this we are very very dangerous. defense is not looking great rn tho

 

[th2421]

I agree we started to heat up from 3 in that 4th quarter against MTSU. Hoping that carries over. We are starting to get better looks from 3 especially off the oboards.

Didn’t feel like we took quite as many bad quick ones the other night, we got more in the halfcourt and our shooters were wide open.

If Jewel, Tess, Sarah, Sam and company all shoot their normal percentage on the same day is game over for teams. So far they haven’t all been able to put it together.

Maybe today's that day! 4-5 from 3 to start this game.

GBO!!

threes are falling finally, but lordy this press

 

[Mafiaboss]

I think we will break 100 as well. Ruby goes off again.

You might be right!

 

[VolBall09]

@glv98 how you like it now? When the 3s are dropping it’s dangerous.

Also learning when and where to apply pressure. Guessing not fouling was a big emphasis this week. Much cleaner D so far.

 

[LadyVol1908]

When our shots are falling, we’re going to be super hard to beat!!!!

 

[glv98]

if we hit these like these we are very very dangerous

Now do it consistently, or at least semi-consistently.

It’s doing exactly what it needs to though. Speeding them up and making them miss easy shots early in the shot clock. That’s a verifiable nightmare for Liberty.

 

[volsagain]

Liberty is in big trouble. They can't keep it close way over matched by the Lady VOLS.

 

[ttharp]

When Talaysia started off the game with a 3, I knew it was curtains for Liberty

Let’s keep it up! And please STOP fouling!

 

[th2421]

Loved seeing that set play out of the timeout to get Jill an easy layup!

 

[Mafiaboss]

There we go. Kim set up Jill to succeed. Great shot.

 

[VolBall09]

That was a dime from Spencer to Puckett right on the money

 

[Mafiaboss]

Beautiful give and go to the rim!

 

[VolBall09]

That’s how you build confidence

 

[ttharp]

Can we please get some help-side defense?

 

[volforlife10]

defense needs some work, offense looks AMAZING!!

 

[Volfan2012]

That quarter was a beatdown and we missed three layups.

 

[SGMVols]

136 point pace

I’m sorry but anyone who preferred the old staff to this is an idiot

So far I gather that isn’t what she’s coaching them to do. You need to be responsible for your player and clog passing lanes.

I have a hard time being bothered by it so far. It’s certainly not what you’re used to, but we’re up 19 after 1 and they had 3 points for most of that quarter lol.

Clearly something about her defensive philosophy works.
