Game Thread: Tennessee Lady Vols (12-6, 5-1) @ Ole Miss (14-5, 4-2) ESPN 3:00PM EST 01-28-2024.

Give credit to Ole Miss making jump shots at better clip than they usually do. Offense was great 1st Qt but average in 2nd. Tied up at half. Let's come out in 3rd and take control. In CHRIST Alone

Officials are all over the place trail with a 3 second call. Not even where she is supposed to look. Bald back guy misses clear maul on 2 tn players in his primary zone and then calls one on Tn from opposite side of floor. Two Ole Miss fouls in half. .. no way

 

[Volfan2012]

They are plus five possessions at the half. Richardson averaging 6 has 13. Rebounds evened up although they have a plus two on offensive rebounds.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

OM quicker overall and wants to run.

Mostly every team is quicker, we just need to play to our strengths.

 

[Volfan2012]

I am so tired of our offense. Everyone goes to their spots and try to force it into the post. Can we PLEASE hire an offensive coordinator?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is definitely systematic. I’ve seen multiple opportunities to cut to the block or flash and they don’t do it. THEY DON’T MOVE!!!!

Our offense is offensive!

The forced post is why were not leading this game. That is where most of that 9 turnovers came.

Get your vision checked if that’s all you can come up with… the hacking.. simple missed calls by the officials.. and lackadaisical defense/rebounding by Tennessee is the only reason this game is tied.

So they didn’t miss a layup? Lose the ball falling down on a turn over and go 1-6 from three? Weird…because they did.

Games tied…blame officials.

Prescription medication needed to watch this bunch. Get intense!!! Play both ends or sit.

Don’t u notice every team shoots lights out against us?

Rickea gets fouled Everytime , no call

Yep, you can hear her shout "and-one" pretty much every time!

 

[Volfan2012]

Big surprise is that Ole Miss is suddenly shooting so good. They have improved over the last three games. They couldn't make anything and we playing games in the 50's most of the season.

Jackson is no Knect . He plays defense

And it’s not even going to Rickea, she’s the only post that can catch a pass consistently.

Got the lead early… Spear was in rhythm and then sat for an extended period of time while predetermined substitutions were made.

Players can’t ever get in the flow of the game with this kind of game management.

Sometimes he can be a little loose on the defense at times, but his offense is elite.

Did Tennessee made ever easy basket? Did Tennessee not have unforced turnovers? Did Tennessee not miss wide open jumpers including a fadeaway 4 ft from the basket?

You need help if you think anything can justify a ref (s) not calling a foul with the camera showing two players getting hit while taking shots that weren’t called.

 

[Volfan2012]

They could call a few fouls for over the back and arms and legs wrapped around our post players, but they are choosing not to do so.

 

[Vols2015]

I hope we see a tighter defensive effort the second half and extend a lead to 10 plus points!

 

[Volfan2012]

The road is just hard in basketball. Virginia over North Carolina today and a few other surprises.

Willful disregard for the rules. They are just blatantly not calling it due to the size difference. When that became a thing I’ll never know. A foul is a foul is a foul. No matter what size the two players facing each other are. Punishing teams with size is dumb and has gone on for as long as basketball has existed.

I maintain at least some of that is because so few bigs go on to become officials. It’s always sympathetic 5’3” female officials that let them hack like that.

Easy like playing zone and allowing a layup like OM did? Or first basket of throw over the top to RJ for the first basket…pretty easy. Tennessee isn’t always the victim you want them to be.

Might need Striplin to sit.

 

[LVol]

Peck, can't beg for fouls!

 

[VolBall09]

Officials really affecting this one. Hard to watch.

Peck shows her roots..as does Courtney.

 

[th2421]

Spear has been terrific today.
