Game Thread: (RV/RV) Lady Vols. 56 - (9/9) Virginia Tech 59

[NoBackBoard]

We’re rebounding well.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Jasmine Franklin and Jillian Hollingshead both out of concussion protocol how did that happen to two players? Jackson just out don't know if she will make it through the season no statement of what her situation is just that she is not allowed to play today.

Maybe they bumped heads in practice.

 

[AntiochVol81]

VT three turnover and we can’t do anything with it and not lead back to 11

 

[TheMississippiVol]

There’s no spacing on offense.. a week of practice to not be prepared on game day is not a good look.

 

[Voluble2]

When Jordy gets on a team with players who can catch the ball she will be something to see.

 

[Volstylexx]

You can take that talented crap somewhere else.. this isn’t about no talent.

Which is why the word talent wasn’t preceded by the word “looking less.” If a non woman’s basketball fan was just randomly tuning in today, they’d assume VA Tech is the more talented team. That’s just my opinion anyway.

 

[TheMississippiVol]

Good crowd in attendance today!

 

[Lady Vol Guru]

I definitely know how it works. But when you're one of the only ones clapping and the team is off to a blazing 0-6 start maybe sit down and stop.

Maybe you should STFU fair weather fan! You’re just another in a long list of people on this board that don’t support the team or the university in any way but come on here and do nothing but criticize! Go crawl back under your rock, you feckless clown!

 

[Volstylexx]

Better defense the last few possessions and it immediately leads to better offense. Let’s see if this flips the switch on for them.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

They have no answer for our inside players, but we can’t finish. Why don’t they put Sara on the block she’s money with the chip shot.

 

[D3Athlete]

Should have hired Jeff Walz when they had the chance

 

[Voluble2]

If Brooklyn is going to reach in then she had better reach in hard enough to stop the shot.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What about Ohio State, Indiana, UCLA, and Gonzaga. One of the most talented teams in a while for the lady vols, and they look awful.

The team is not that talented beside Jordan and Rickea

 

[VolBall09]

Spotted them 10 points to start the game or this would be fun to watch. Instead it’s just going to be us playing 10 behind until they beat us by 17.

He wanted this job so bad. Fulmer wanted a Lady Vol and I get that. I also think if Danny White made that hire he would have went after a more proven head coach.

 

[Voluble2]

Key is playing better today.

She and Jordan play that two man game well.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Key getting good looks.

Hahahahaha fair weather? I've been supporting Tennessee Vols for 40 years and donated/spent thousands doing so. And when we stink I call it how I see it. You're calling out the wrong person.

 

[VolBall09]

VTech players feelin good. Hittin set shots and shushing the crowd

 

[Voltopia]

Wow, shushing the crowd in Thompson Boling. Put that girl on her butt.

 

[alexvol]

Good luck Lady Vols ....you need every bit of luck that can be mustered this year.

 

[Rons1989]

Can we not defend the damn 3point line im tired of seeing this crap every game

Here comes the goof troop…

 

[D3Athlete]

He wanted this job so bad. Fulmer wanted a Lady Vol and I get that. I also think if Danny White made that hire he would have went after a more proven head coach.

He did and actually wasn’t because of Fulmer. That was his choice. 2 reasons why it didn’t happen. Money was lowballed some and the lady vol community wanted that. Cornered him into that decision.

Can we not defend the damn 3point line im tired of seeing this crap every game

We clearly cannot. Most of their 3s today they have had time to set up, take a look, check the wind, shimmy the shoulders and then shoot it.

I really think our staff are over complicating defensive assignments and help side. They players are thinking so hard about whatever secondary and tertiary coverage the staff are worrying about that they aren’t guarding the flipping person in front of them.

Get down in a stance, pressure the ball, play the passing lane and box out and secure the rebound. Simple. Don’t make it more then it has to be.
