MTSU plays so smart. When Tess is guarding you, take it to the hoop.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

tighten up the half court defense

 

[lfvol]

With this roster and style, Darby, Puckett and Spear out there at the same time makes zero sense. Guarding is impossible.

 

[LVBGOTN]

Spear has got to work on her defense. Gets beat too much and that won’t fly in the WNBA.

 

[ttharp]

Is Zee injured? Why is she still on the bench?

Same with Puckett

 

[ttharp]

Y’all. We’re gonna get cooked by SEC teams.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Sarah and Tess on defense, bless their hearts

Spear is only slightly better.

 

[glv98]

IWholesale subbing at LESS than every minute!

Horn operator deserves extra duty pay.

 

[glv98]

Spear is only slightly better.

Add Cooper now.

This is a longstanding problem for the LVs

Middle will always be one of the best prepared and most opportunistic teams we'll play.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Well this is certainly a splash of cold water that we needed.

 

[ttharp]

Possibly

The players that are defensive liabilities aren’t gonna get any quicker by January.

 

[newladyvolfan]

Lady Vols May end up losing by 12

 

[cwbytruckers]

Why no help defense on drives to the middle?

 

[GameTime]

Not even hitting the iron...

 

[volforlife10]

yeah this defense looks bad rn and the offense probably worse.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The players that are defensive liabilities aren’t gonna get any quicker by January.

But they can get less minutes

They need to play less by Jan and not together.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

1 of 7 from three and MTSU hasn’t needed to settle for 3’s because the defense is traffic cones.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Let’s be real this defense isn’t that good right now. They can’t stop penetration and the ball isn’t moving enough on offense to get good looks.

 

[glv98]

I'm pretty sure the LVs will bounce back and wear Middle down.

So far the half court D and 3 pt shooting are in the disaster zone.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

We knew this would be the game where the weaknesses would get exposed. Seems MTSU knew them coming in.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

So far this has been a perfect exhibit for those that have said this style won’t work at this level. I don’t know what to think but it is early in this game and the season.
