Game Thread: Western Carolina v Lady Vols, Tues. Nov 26; Home-FCC; 7PM; SEC TV network

[BruisedOrange]

Offensive rebound count must be lookin' good

 

[BruisedOrange]

Our sixth backcourt violation this season!

 

[VolFanGBO]

Ugly quarter

 

[volforlife10]

defense still needs to be cleaned up but looks better than before the break.

 

[glv98]

photos?

Crowd estimate (just to get a fight started)?

Crowd actually looks a little bit better tonight.

Looks like worked on half court defense last 10 days..

Really? I thought they still looked pretty bad on halfcourt D. WC is very very ill prepared to break the press, but every time they have broken it they've scored easily.

Our sixth backcourt violation this season!

That's freaking amazing.

Coop is a woman amongst girls. She's very special, oozing talent. What if we'd had her last year?

Losing Jewel is worse than it looks on paper. Someone has to hit 3s (besides Coop).

I love Spencer. What if we had her last year? Damn.

Ugly quarter

Mixed bag not ugly. 23-14 few careless turnovers didn't like. In CHRIST Alone

Really nice body control by Whitehorn there. She's been a little out of control on some of her drives earlier this year so that's nice to see.

Also nice to see Hollingshead playing so well!

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

JH looking much more active

 

[RespectAPA]

Does that reset the 10-second clock? If no, then the inbounds pass presumably will be going down the court. No time to spare.

 

[glv98]

That halfcourt D just before the time out was awesome.

 

[VolBall09]

No Jewel so far. Dog house or injured?

 

[glv98]

No Jewel so far. Dog house or injured?

The dreaded lower leg injury. Talked about it upthread. No further details.

The Lady Vols looking solid tonight. I love the progress I’m seeing on both ends of the court.
In both full-court and half-court defense there’s more structure and less fouling despite them pressuring the ball effectively.
Offensively in the half-court I’ve seen some beautiful sets being ran and execution.
This is a ranked team we’re watching folks. That’s remarkable learning a new system and having the talent to win at a level this early in the season.
GBO!

I do not know anything about WC and what kind of Mid Major they are so Lady Vols 101- Catamounts 54. In CHRIST Alone

Sorry late. plenty of time, it's legit.

 

[87&91ALUM]

34-16 Lady Vols. I like the intensity and moving the ball around. Still learning new players.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Striplin nice

 

[87&91ALUM]

Ordered my Basketball Time in Tennessee.. that will help.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice shot!

 

[glv98]

Only way WC gets a rebound is off a lucky bounce. They're one of the weaker teams we've played. Seem unprepared for the press. Maybe just overwhelmed.

Half court offense looks better. Lots of good passes.

 

[Vols2015]

Way better defensive effort the second quarter. Avery Strickland coming in and doing damage right away!

 

[87&91ALUM]

45-20…2:50 left in the half…

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Wow, this game got out of hand quickly!

 

[ttharp]

This team has been in the LAB!

Defense looks better so far. They’re rebounding better so far. Shots are starting to fall. Let’s keep it going!

 

[Vols2015]

Anyone know why Jewel Spear isn’t playing?

 

[VolBall09]

The dreaded lower leg injury. Talked about it upthread. No further details.

Ah man. That kills me to hear that
