Game thread: NCAA Second Round: No. 6 Seed Lady Vols vs. No. 3 Seed NC State

[chuckiepoo]

Let Mimi go out… damn.

 

[VolBall09]

We dug too big a hole, something Kellie teams are good at. If she is retained that is another problem that has to be addressed. Her teams are just like Holly’s in that they pick and choose when they want to play defense. It’s not a commitment on every possession.

She will not bench a player for bad defense and it’s infuriating.

Jackson for2

 

[travis929]

That Key block!!

 

[JustaChicken]

Jackson is a bad mother shut yo mouth!

 

[travis929]

Announcers just said we're holding NC State to under 23% shooting this half.

 

[AllVol68]

State so wide opened it ruined her concentration

 

[Orange931]

I really hope we pull this off. There’s been enough heartbreak this year

 

[Voluble2]

Powell has never found a 1 on 3 she won't take.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

SAVE THE TIMEOUTS

 

[mudcat1973]

Tennessee within
5

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

3 missed shots right at the rim

 

[Volstylexx]

NC State back to pushing pace. No timeouts from Kellie. Just going to let them do it i guess.

 

[travis929]

Multiple opportunities to make this a one possession game and three shots that just missed. That really hurts.

 

[AllVol68]

Harper would call a time out if she only knew what to do.

 

[turbovol]

We're blowing this. How did Spear miss that layup?

Again, we don't get back on defense and it costs us two baskets.

 

[Vols2015]

We can’t afford for a break for Jackson!

 

[VolBall09]

Announcers just said we're holding NC State to under 23% shooting this half.

Ok, and if we’re capable why then did we let them shoot like we did in the first half? Our defensive inconsistency is infuriating. I can’t understand why it doesn’t infuriate the coaches. They have really never mentioned it and don’t seem to care.

A lot like our turnovers they just brush off or literally try to spin as “we play better when we’re aggressive and turning it over.” Just imagine how good they might be if they were aggressive and DID NOT turn it over.

 

[AllVols3]

We can’t afford for a break for Jackson!

What is she doing?,

 

[Volstylexx]

subbing our best player out of the game???

 

[ShortyMac10]

Plz calm kea down

 

[therealitytheory]

I'm tired of Puckett. Sorry.

 

[ttharp]

Can’t secure a rebound. Goodness

 

[House|RockyTop]

Turnover on the rebound that might be the dagger.

 

[JohnnyPayne]

Puckett missed rebound, Spear and Powell missed layup, Jackson missed FT. Gotta be clutch ladies.
