Spear! First points since the 1st. Quarter

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Kellie don’t give a damn why should we. Where’s Jill?

 

[Vols2015]

Powell successfully makes a basket to close 3rd quarter. Still down by 11

 

[VolBall09]

Well, Dawn won’t like that last one. What was that from South Carolina lol?

 

[Butch s]

There’s no universe in which we beat SC without a metric ton of help from them, but that lineup is tantamount to surrender.

I feel like we had a chance until… we got off the bus

 

[creekdipper]

Is b got to make sure they get there minutes

No, she worked it out with Staley to keep it close...just like you said.

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

Spear! First points since the 1st. Quarter

Got to play bigger and better in these types of games

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Did Jill even play that whole 3rd or am I tripping? She only has 2 fouls.

 

[JustaChicken]

The game was rigged from the start, u people can think Sc is some great team but I don’t, I know exactly who they are. I can’t wait until the tournament so they can get what’s coming to them.

LOL

 

[VolBalls33]

I still like Debbie but are the two allowed to stop talking about SC non stop? Jesus.

 

[creekdipper]

We are just not good enough. Sad fact.

Well, nobody else has been this year, do we have lots of company.

Game ain't over yet despite what ESPN thinks.

 

[ttharp]

Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t mind getting another crack at SC in the Semis especially if we get the double bye.

 

[turbovol]

You need to have a good game shooting 3s to beat South Carolina--and we are not a good 3-point shooting
team and we have a pitiful 2 treys today. Unless you've got a team with some good inside players, you need to
make AT LEAST 10 treys to beat SC. Three-point shooting is been among our biggest weaknesses for years.

 

[creekdipper]

Muting the love fest (again).

 

[Vols2015]

We are still in this game. We’ve got to play smart and get to glass.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Muting the love fest (again).

I’ve been on mute, I couldn’t take it.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Tess drives, misses layup, Spear loses ball. It’s an 11 point game, come on LVS!

 

[Caz]

Not to be critical, but how do we have a 6’6 girl that has only one shot, 2 points and one rebound??
Is she still battling back to try and get in shape? Seems like a waste of talent and size to me

 

[creekdipper]

8-point game on the road, and all these lamebos can do is gush about SC.

 

[volnationnj]

Only down 8. Stranger things have happened.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Blocked! 8 point game, our ball!

 

[creekdipper]

Rickea needs to go full Knecht in this quarter.

Really thought this year would be a breakout year for us with 3-point shooting bringing in Spear and Wells to go with Darby and (a hopefully improved) Puckett. Puckett has improved, but Darby is way down after an excellent year last year, Wells really struggled, and Spear has struggled against the top teams. Statistically it's actually the best 3-point shooting team of the Kellie Harper era at 31.8% and the best since 2018-19 (32.5%) but it's still just not nearly good enough.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Crazy how the refs almost didn’t call that foul, they don’t want to make it that obvious.

 

[Vols2015]

How the heck was that a foul on Tess? SC been doing that all night!
