[Vols2015]

Jewel Spear 3 at the end of buzzer! What a way to finish!

 

[ShortyMac10]

Thought she was gonna draw a T!

She’s really pushing it

 

[chuckiepoo]

60-28! End of Q3

 

[VolBalls33]

Spear!!! 60 28 after 3. After being down 2 after 1, now up 32. GLV!!

 

[Volfan2012]

12 of 20 60 percent in the third quarter. Time to rest some of the players more in about three or four minutes.

 

[Vols2015]

Sometimes. But against better teams even that won’t overcome dreadful shooting. % is better now cuz Coop shooting layups but still just 35%, 26% on 3s.

We’re getting better shots and not forcing things, so it will continue to go up.

Wow Spear! 3 pointer from down town to make it 60-28 at break and then the 4th quarter. Keep it rollin ladies! Great game!

Yep but I was upset too the girl was backing into her and she got the foul .

32 point lead going into 4th quarter. Pull back the press and just run standard offense need to conserve some energy for tomorrow's game vs Vanderbilt. Personally Cooper wouldn't see the floor the rest of game if I was coach, but I'm not... Need to keep her fresh for tomorrow..

 

[chuckiepoo]

A&M looks tired

 

[ttharp]

Our girls are having fun again. Love to see it.

Hoping CKC manages the 4th Q well.

 

[I4Vols]

Keep Mama Spear in a bit in the 4th. Hollingshead and Strickland too, they've showed some aggressiveness and pretty good D.
Coop can rest a bit

 

[Volfan2012]

Were at 36 percent and winning by 32 points. A&M at 30 percent but over 20 turnovers.

 

[JCP201]

How many of these things we got to win to host? I need Cooper to be able to rest for the tournament. I'm sure her Ankle is sore.

We’re getting better shots and not forcing things, so it will continue to go up.

Of course, and aggies are beat down. But our shooting remains a worry every game. You never know.

Playing the 9 v16 game was not what we wanted but exactly what was needed.

New to the game thread?

 

[Lurker]

I wonder which is more critical, resting them for physical reasons or letting them continue to run to recharge their spirits.

I seriously doubt they can rest enough to last four days in a row at this pace. The NCAAT experience of two games per weekend will be much better for a high energy team. We’ll see, but today is fun!

Why should it be any different from any other game? Is SEC tournament that special that individuals can't have an opinion?

Always! This is the way…

No, just fans with opinions. Exactly why a forum exists.

She could let Destinee and Adoyele and Ace play this game is over.
