Game Thread: SEC Tournament First Round. #18/14 Lady Vols (9 seed) vs. Texas A&M (16 seed). Wed., March 5, 11 am ET, SECN

[Vols2015]

Puckett and Ruby have really struggled offensively. We are going to need them to get that figured out.

 

[Orange.]

Gonna miss the end of tomorrow's game because I will be teaching

“Now to apply this concept, let’s use the example of a basketball game. [Connects phone to AV equipment…]

Just kidding.

 

[IndianaVol]

Just got work caught up enough to turn this on...doesn't look like I missed much. LOL

 

[chuckiepoo]

Forty burger! 77-37!

Ya know, there's a stomach bug going around. It'd be a shame if you caught it today and had to send out a notice tonight that tomorrow's class is canceled.

32-7 turnover margin. Is 7 turnovers a season low?

We had 80 shot attempts to their 49.

77-37 Lady Vols….good start. On to baseball and basketball men later today.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Uh, maybe they just needed to get pissed off??

But you did! You missed getting to see this group of players have fun again. They really needed this, and so did all us supporters!

So Charlie Creme says we have to beat Vandy to be in the top 16 and host, correct? I really need our girl Cooper to rest. If this game didn't prove anything else, we need her healthy to keep winning.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Good win, defense played at a high level....offense & shooting still has work but hopefully this game gets the girls confidence going and they take care of Vandy tomorrow.

No one played more than 23 minutes today: Cooper and Spear. And those two, along with Boyd, are the only three who played more than 18.

So weird seeing Kim up there next to Kellie for the post-game interview.

80 for just 77. You like a 1.2 which would've been 92. Defense was so good today great energy. Offense still bad better in second half, but we were getting uncontested layups A&M just standing while Cooper layed them in.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Whoa bet this is awkward, Kellie and Kim next to each other.

 

[Volfan2012]

Still a question of whether we can shoot well enough to win tomorrow we'll find out soon.

Kim looked a little nervous at first, but they both handled that beautifully.

Kim be like, are we done, are we done??

I keep hoping that the light will come on again at juuuuust the right time and that they'll both come through with unexpected clutch performances. Since both Ruby and Sara haven't been scoring threats in quite a while, it's unlikely opposing coaches are spending as much time worrying about how they'll need to prepare their players to defend them. So both players could be like secret weapons if they actually found their forms again. We can hope!

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

JMO, but I think the LVs have two of the most attractive, well-dressed and well-spoken female coaches in basketball.

Just need the right shots or the players taking shots that fit their range. Spearman needs to be in rebounding don't need to be taking too many 3s .

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Go Vols!

Ruby will be more of a scout than Puckett, but we definitely need them both to start contributing!

Watching the post-game press conference and Kim just said she's been surprised by how physical and long the SEC season is, and that they will do a better job next year of managing that over the 16 SEC games.

So glad to hear that reflection and awareness.
