do you think it’s painful to watch rn …

Defense held UT-M scoreless for the final 05:49 of the first half.

Ruby goes to the halftime locker room with a double-double tucked in her hip pocket.

skill and athleticism is important not just athleticism

OK Legs little tired shows on Jumpers but still struggling shooting and we have 42 because of the all out hustle and Defense. Go Lady Vols. In CHRIST Alone

If legs are tired the third outing of the season bc of 2 games in 3 days at home, we're in trouble.

Last yr in Feb. we had 4 games in nine days including away games, a couple against national powers. Gonna get alot harder as we move along.

in contrary, conditioning usually gets better as the season progresses so I would think with a new system that requires a lot more energy, you would see that early in the season.

We'll probably take another 20 threes in the second half hopefully we make 7 or 8.

 

[Willy999]

well we might not score a hundy this game. But then again we might

 

[BruisedOrange]

In the pregame, CKC said she does not like having two games this close together this early in the season! But she'd welcome it late in the season when the players know what they're doing.

Anybody got an assessment of how well we're boxing out tonight?

I did notice one time they put up a shot, three turned to run and those three were immediately removed from game.

UTM is a scrappy bunch .The old adage that " pressing teams do not like being pressed " proved true for a good portion of the 1st half. The LV press has not been that effective except it is tiring out the opposition.....and that is one of the reasons to use it if opposing teams do not have the depth to counteract it.

 

[BruisedOrange]

We're gonna hold you to that!

 

[Volfan2012]

UT Martin really clogging the paint on defense why were getting all those open looks from the three. We just need to knock some of them down. Massey called it 83 to 49 Tennessee were certainly on pace to match that score.

 

[Willy999]

We're gonna hold you to that!

Haha I bet we get hot and score 100. We missed alot of open threes

She's quickly becoming indeSPENCable. The LVs are a much better team w her on the floor.

in contrary, conditioning usually gets better as the season progresses so I would think with a new system that requires a lot more energy, you would see that early in the season.

They are playing less than two minute shifts tonight. And it’s the first half, the first quarter in terms of the first wild air ball. Tired legs is a reach.

 

[chuckiepoo]

From the radio broadcast, wondering...

are the Skyhawks playing chippy, or just appropriately and competitively unintimidated?

just appropriately and competitively unintimidated

 

[RespectAPA]

Lady Vols haven't dealt with the UTM press as well as you might expect a team that sees the press so much to do. We'll see if some of the halftime adjustments have to do with getting the ball through cleaner.

I wonder what makes you more tired. 1.5 minute shifts, or 3 minute shifts, or 5 minute shifts. Whats easier on the body?

 

[knoxvol52]

What a turn of events.

The Sunshine Pumpers have suddenly became NegaVols this season..

 

[lfvol]

They should. Few if any have a reliable under control midrange jumper. Shooting 3s and offensive rebounding seems their strength.

Energy and defense much better in 2nd quarter. By the way, all games like this - weekdays in November against small team in Football season always have had many no shows. Actual attendance of first 3 still better than the first games like this in previous seasons. I go to all of them when possible.

 

[chuckiepoo]

This team may lack skill at spots but is so much more athletic. Likely to be more athletic still next year after losing Darby, Puckett and Spear, their three that play away from the lane and lack quickness. No way they aren’t replaced by quicker players.

Kaiya will be one, that’s a great start.

Hockey, where you need near max effort consistently, says shorter shifts are far better. It is logical.

Yes, but I've been told, not really unreasonably, to love or leave it. Apparently most people think it's actually more fun to watch.

in contrary, conditioning usually gets better as the season progresses so I would think with a new system that requires a lot more energy, you would see that early in the season.

Yes, absolute pretzel logic to say the legs will be less tired late in the season. That's not why we're missing 3s.

We just don't, at this point, have any really consistent 3 pt shooters. They run cold and hot. Usually they're not all cold at the same time. I'm sure someone will heat up the second half.

I may regret asking, but... what is your avatar?

Looks like a furryphallic character skating in the Ice Capades.
