Nice to see Jewel finish through contact there

Live and die by the three.

 

[Vols2015]

Cooper with block and another steal. When she plays like this, we are so much better.

 

[87&91ALUM]

19-19....Vols missed a lot of 3 point shots

 

[Vols2015]

Cooper assist to whitehorn for 3!

 

[volforlife10]

cooper has played some lazy one on one defense tonight.

 

[Vols2015]

No box out on that layup, Coach Kim furious

 

[SGMVols]

Doesn’t feel like we’re covering the 33.5 point spread

 

[Vols2015]

19-19....Vols missed a lot of 3 point shots

And layups, layups, layups.

Credit Alex Simmons. Her team is prepared. It won’t last, superior talent and depth will win out. But this is the best anyone has handled our press

considering their five injuries
Even more impressive

 

[VolBall09]

Talaysia Cooper needs to box out. She has let her player get offensive rebounds on three consecutive possessions.

Memphis already looking a little gassed though. You know Alex was gonna have them UP for this one. Plus getting Hagemann back is a big lift for them.

 

[Coach Jumper]

That last play,, she needed a suitcase for that walk.

 

[therealitytheory]

Credit Memphis for a competitive 1st qtr.

Now go bury them.

 

[TN1111]

We block out, great! But no one grabs the ball. Someone grab it instead of watching.

 

[volforlife10]

And layups, layups, layups.

cooper, latham, and jill have all missed one layup they HAVE to hit.

 

[newladyvolfan]

We have the worst shot selection of any team I swear

 

[Coach Jumper]

Get layups

I am sick of watching them miss bunnies

 

[glv98]

Every game Kim says they need to quit settling for so many quick 3s and every game they settle for quick 3s.

 

[volforlife10]

We have the worst shot selection of any team I swear

haven’t really seen many bad shots TONIGHT tbh. we should have hit a lot of the ones we’ve missed.

 

[glv98]

We have the worst shot selection of any team I swear

I think they’re still experimenting with the difference in a fast paced offense and quick shooting.

LVs might pull away some this qtr

 

[Vols2015]

Alex looks like she hasn’t changed at all! I remember her from the 2007 and 2008 championships!

 

[JCP201]

I love watching the Lady VOLS this year. So much fun.

 

[volforlife10]

we need coop and spencer to settle into the game. they’re our top players so we can’t have them both not scoring.

 

[Vols2015]

I’ve noticed when we’re missing shots, we can’t set up our defense. When they (Memphis) make shots, their press slows us down and we haven’t quite gotten use to a team doing that to us. Frustrating when we’re missing 3s and not shooting layups well, but we all have to accept the ebbs and flows and the streakiness of this type of play.
