Game Thread - Tennessee Lady Vols vs #2 Shady Trees & Referees

Looks like we're trying hard to stay out on the 3-line but not taking away the angle on the easy back door. Other than that, good D. And we are getting mugged on the over the backs & shoves. Puckett got killed and no foul. Looks like it got her riled up, too.

Really proud to see Pissott fighting over the top of a screen & taking that big step around to stay with her girl. Did you see that?

ONLY TWO TURNOVERS!!!!!! Had a TURNOVERLESS 2nd qtr until very very late when Justine walked. Amazing.

Imagine if we ever get RJ successfully integrated into this team? Let it Be!

Didn't hurt that Stanford shot 14% on 3s and 50% on fts. That almost never, never happens. They'll get better in the second half for sure.

Hope there's no triple or quadruple ft bonus bc we'll have 30 fouls by the 4th qtr. Looks a like the men's refs fm Arizona took the overnight up to Cali. Puckett got hard shoved out of bounds on the refs feet and they swallowed the whistle.

I would never have thought we would play even with them with Jill and Franklin not being any more of a factor than they have been.

Marta was as effective as we've seen her in a while.

Let's see what we can put together in the 2nd half.

Not saying our bigs didn't foul they did but if Key when she was playing had these calls we would have been in bonus in first 3 mns of each quarter. The only place Stanford is better is inside the paint. Good thing we have depth. Go battle one more half and pull this game out. In CHRIST Alone

Really impressed by our 3-point defense so far, especially after how bad we did guarding the 3 against Wright State. Stanford is an elite 3-point shooting team and they're 1-7.

That was a good warmup for Stanford. Not sure if that was done intentionally but if so, great forethought from our staff. Well known that’s Wright States game.

I think you will see Stanford take it hard inside this next half. If we can defend that somewhat effectively and keep getting the same production we got a shot to win this one. 16 fouls shots to our 9 hopefully we can reverse that. First time all season were playing a team bigger than we are. They have three seven footers and a 6"10 player inside.

Curious to see if the coaches/team can avoid a 3rd/4th quarter collapse and continue executing.

Would also love to see the same intensity and competitive energy. It won’t guarantee a win against the #2 team on their floor, but it’ll bode well moving forward. I’m obviously hoping for a win. If we don’t though, we need to avoid a double-digit loss.

Now play Horston and Jackson together with Puckett. We can win this thing. Keep Jones and Brinks off the boards.

Jackson has to decide she wants to rebound. She gave up two offensive rebounds that led to scores when she was in.

One was a Jump 3. Cardinal sin to give her an open look on a kick out. Let her get going out there and you are in trouble.

If she’s not a first-rounder I may just quit the W. NOBODY will work harder and be a better teammate than Horston. I cannot imagine her not being a first-rounder.

Her physical gifts add alot to the package as well. Any coach would drool at the prospects. Hate to complain about anything with JH, but if her shooting touch around the basket was only a little better.
