Game Thread: SEC FINAL; Lady Vols Vs SOU CAR...Sunday 3PM...ESPN

[Ladyvolfan4life]

C’MON LADIES!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Q2, some sloppy play but didn’t give up and fought back some of the lead.

No room for turnovers in 2H to have a shot.

 

[th2421]

So everyone who called ball game, where ya at? Tennessee not dropping easily.

Out of everything, I'm most shocked we're outrebounding them 15-12.

Seems like South Carolina decided to focus their defense on Rickea and it's creating more opportunities for Horston, and she's capitalizing. She looks focused and determined.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Just lost my ESPN feed...Xfinity in Middle Tennessee. Anybody else lose the game?

Same thing happened at the end of the Auburn game yesterday. Disney sux.

 

[RAVOL]

Is Tess Darby Hurt?

No non factor because of there length and defense you don't have to leave her to help

 

[SGMVols]

Has Darby played?

She’s been destroyed defensively in the few minutes she’s played. She’s not athletic enough to play in this one.

 

[Volfan2012]

SC is just a really talented team and you have to make the open shot. Puckett two open misses from three and Striplin one. We needed to make at least two of those. Horston playing amazing. SC has decided to do whatever it takes to take Jackson out of the game. SC has played very well just a six point lead.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Horston needs to quit the behind the back crap. We can’t afford lulls and we can’t stand around on offense. Horston needs to focus on scoring and not being to cute. But for the most part we have competed hard. They just exposed our lapses.

 

[th2421]

I'm assuming its because Darby is a bad matchup in a game like this

I think it's a tough defensive assignment for her, and Cooke was face-guarding her at all times when she was in the game.

 

[Ladyvolfan4life]

Do we have 2 more quarters in us? We still need a little more. I’m rooting for us, but I’m not sure.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

6 point game at the half, I’ll take it!

Guess I need to lose my ESPN more often.... 6 sounds doable... fearing 15 or more with those freebie points off turnovers we supplied them.

Mine finally came back.

We are definitely a top team in the country especially when we play like this... we are down but not out. I believe Kellie now sees she has to have more depth ... quality depth... especially for the style she likes to play

 

[Ladyvol777]

Sara Puckett playing some defense. 31-37 at half. As always go Lady Vol's.

 

[JCP201]

A healthy TK would make a huge difference in possibly 5 of our 10 losses right now. I always think of her the most when we go up against teams with size like this. Those triple doubles with blocks multiple times were not by accident .

Is there any chance she might come back next year? I figure she's WNBA obviously, but it would be nice. Just wish it was this year WITH Jackson and Horston.

 

[Volfan2012]

I'm assuming its because Darby is a bad matchup in a game like this

She got beat by Beal two straight times on defense and she hasn't been in since. She played up way to close needs to give her some space and if she shoots the perimeter shot fine not drive by for the layup.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Mine finally came back.

mine too just in time for me to hear them talk

Agreed SC playing well and they have good depth. But love the fight. This is a National Championship type game. In CHRIST Alone

Puckett isn’t the answer for sure

Seems like South Carolina decided to focus their defense on Rickea and it's creating more opportunities for Horston, and she's capitalizing. She looks focused and determined.

But we are going to need some other to step up outside Horston and Jackson. Striplin, Hollingshead, Walker, Darby, Puckett, all need to be options to score.

 

[Prophet1]

We can take this team.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I'm assuming its because Darby is a bad matchup in a game like this

Everyone besides Rickea, Jordan, and Hollingshead is a bad matchup

I've been waiting for us to play like this all year. SC is really playing great make no mistake about that as good a half as they ever have. I don't know why it took so long for us to get here but we have arrived as a very good team.

Too all you folks who lost their internet and can't see the game... now you know what it feels like to be an $EC Women's game official not seeing USCjr fouling

 

[Vols2015]

Do we have 2 more quarters in us? We still need a little more. I’m rooting for us, but I’m not sure.

We’ll find out within the next hour. As long as our Ladies are giving effort and fight, that will make it better, regardless of the result.
