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

[87&91ALUM]

Geez that was a long three. Kellie needs to coach em a little here. 23-24 end 1st QRTR.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Blew a lead with 3 bad shots and a turnover... And now a foul called wtf

 

[SGMVols]

Disappointing to be this hot shooting and still end the quarter trailing. Not good. No chance we keep this up 30 more minutes. We have to start guarding.

 

[VolBall09]

Have to be better defensively. Everyone has guarded this team well for 2 months. We can’t just let them have open shots and break away layups.

No matter how well our offense is flowing. Get in a stance and get a stop dang it.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Rickea Jackson When you are hot you are hot. As always go Lady Vol's.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

There's no foul there cmon ref

 

[NoBackBoard]

Nice play to end the 1st just didn’t fall.

 

[RAVOL]

Need to get 2nd foul on their big. Get her out of game.

 

[knoxvol52]

Oh look a review.

 

[turbovol]

That’s not an and 1. Should’ve been on the floor

They should get rid of this NBA-style "continuation" rule in college basketball. It's BS. If you're not in the act of shooting, then a shot after
a foul shouldn't count. Let's stop with the dumb NBA--style officiating.

 

[lvocd]

I'm nervous, y'all, and my confidence is shaky.

Someone tell me why I'm just being ridiculous.

 

[Vols2015]

Need to get 2nd foul on their big. Get her out of game.

Agreed! We need to isolate a play or two for Key to take it to her.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Played well but trail by 1. Gotta tighten up the defense and stop the careless turnovers.

 

[turbovol]

Do we want to get into an run-and-gun, up-and-down the court game with NC State? I'm not sure--but based on what I've seen so far,
I think it would be unwise. We could run out of steam in the 2nd half. We'll see.

 

[Peas29]

I really dislike the Wynn and Tess lineup. Neither can truly create and one can’t shoot. The offense becomes so stagnant.

 

[I4Vols]

Great shooting to start, but some really bad mental play and decisions.
Speer better get her head in the game from ignoring going after the ball on the tip, not being back for the throw in after a basket, gunning up a three too far/too early. Even Darby's three attempt was way too early.
Don't play smart, don't play again

 

[VolBalls33]

NC State 0 turnovers and 5 for 5 from the FT line. 2 BS foul calls, one on Key and one on Powell when she never even touched Rivers. Good thing RJ is on her game or that could have gotten ugly. Let's go Lady Vols!!

 

[volnationnj]

Shot very well. Hard to believe they're losing. Its only 1 point but still.

 

[RAVOL]

OK good 1st quarter on road hostile Environment down 1. Now tighten up on D and let's see if they can continue to shoot at this rate. Tess if your going to shoot right away no passing you better hit those

 

[Voltopia]

I don't know how many minutes Harper wants to give her bench but if I were here I'd have my big guns out there for as many minutes as I could get out of them.

 

[Ovol]

Better crank up some D, because we can’t shoot with them and the refs ain’t going to help

 

[ttharp]

JP not making good decisions. And she’s getting cooked. Doesn’t bode well.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara turnover

 

[RAVOL]

Turnovers again Tn undoing

 

[Volstylexx]

I'm nervous, y'all, and my confidence is shaky.
