[mudcat1973]

A loss to this team would be as bad and as improbable as when we lost to them in football in 1996

It would cost us 2 seed lines in the dance

the Memphis coach is trying to improved patch tree is not dead

The pressure on the ball has sped us up on a few occasions.

OK just got in from Bible Class and from post here refs have been bad but our Vols worse missing layups. We'll let's go Lady Vols correct your mistakes and roll this half. In CHRIST Alone

refs not to bad

Just going by 6 missed walks even Coach was complaining. We're they missed if so that's bad reffing

Refs have done ok


Pat summit coaching tree is not dead thanks to Memphis coach showing out

Memphis is tired. They were operating on adrenaline alone. Now their legs are dead but their heads are still all crazy. Hagemann just doing some weird things out there now.

 

[ttharp]

Coop. Layups. Let’s pray, y’all

 

[glv98]

Hagemann dumb as hell

Oh come on. Low blow, even for you.

 

[VolBall09]

cooper needs to chill

Yes, she is beating herself up. Just needs to chin up and finish a shot. She’s fine. She’s doing her part in other ways. Get a steal and an easy one or get to the FT line and get herself going.

 

[VolBall09]

Oh come on. Low blow, even for you.

Certainly not.

Sara was a non-factor on the offensiv board there (easy rebound for Memphis), then too slow to get back in time to contest the open three (luckily, the Lady Tiger missed it)

Only 4 points, 1 rebound. This just isn't her season. Why not giv a bench player a chance to prove herself?

I know we want to play fast but we should be able to get a good look almost every possession against a team this low caliber. These forces just don’t make any sense.

 

[Volfan2012]

I like that they are trapping Hagemann. Team was 40 percent before she got there so make someone else make a basket.

 

[RAVOL]

Alright up 11 playing better even with Cooper only having 4

Can’t honestly tell why she’s so bad. I think this style of play just REALLY doesn’t suit her. It’s all too fast. She’s a very methodical, cerebral player and this is about instinct and athelticism.

Again, the LVs are still trying to understand the difference in playing with pace and hurrying.

Memphis def out of gas, this is where having 5 players injured really costs them.

Now is a good time for her to have an off offensive game and find other ways to contribute to the team.
Doesn't always have to be the top scoring option.

 

[VolBall09]

Gotta finish that. Sam has missed several she just usually doesn’t.

I think it's the subbing more than the speed. Sara needs rhythm to succeed.

 

[VolBall09]

How was that not a foul!? Zee gettin body slammed out there

 

[brittannica]

I think Zee could probably dunk.

 

[Vols2015]

How was that not a foul against Memphis knocking Jillian down?

 

[glv98]

Oh Sh*t. This we cannot afford. Not Spencer. And on a total hustle play.

 

[newladyvolfan]

This is not good… for Lady Vols
!!!



praying for Spencer

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

There goes the season

 

[VolBall09]

Sam saying “my knee, my knee”

Not good. I think she’s done for.

 

[SGMVols]

If that’s a serious injury it’s a season changer for this team.

 

[newladyvolfan]

Oh Sh*t. This we cannot afford. Not Spencer. And on a total hustle play.

I agree. We can’t afford this
