NCAA Tournament Game Thread: (3) Lady Vols vs. (6) Michigan

[djtee]

Darby will probably get some time in the 3rd quarter.....if Michigan will pack the paint need someone to knock down outside shots

3rd quarter why not the 2nd this is on KJH

 

[Tennessee12]

JH just playing selfish.

Watching the Lady Vols today is like watching other conferences from the 80s. Athletic girls who have no idea how to play as a team.

 

[Raebo]

Zero, zero, zero, zero outside shooting. You have to have good guard play as you advance in the tournament and we just don't have it. What offense we have is just driving to the paint. Key is doing a good job and KK is doing ok. Defense is pretty good but we need a lot.more than that.

this game is not on KJH at all. we can’t shoot.

 

[BruceInLouisville]

Michigan did not do anything on defense except stand in the lane and wait. We got to the rim, we got open shots. If our shooting percentage was 10 points higher, we'd be ahead.

JH just playing selfish.

And Renia and Rae Burrell

 

[Putbacks]

Why did the coaches wait until tip-off to scout this team?

 

[volfan__18]

If rennia can’t hit her first shots, she needs to crash the boards and hit the easy layups.

 

[Hallie]

Refs allowing constant hacking and reaching from Michigan. Hard to get any flow or inside game when this is the case

Aint refs fault .. sloppy play and no effort as usual

 

[SGMVols]

Michigan is really good on D & they got their kind of officials that just let them play physical without calling fouls. Something got to change .

We played a lineup with only one scoring threat for several minutes in the second quarter. Kellie’s substitution patterns make no sense at all at times.

They are a really good we'll coached team!!

 

[th2421]

the girls have an offense, just not today

Agreed. That was by far the worst half of basketball I've seen them play this year (though I missed the first UGA game). Some of it is Michigan's physicality, a lot of it missed open looks and bunnies, and even more is just too much standing on offense. Game is far from over and I expect Rennia to come out with purpose in the 2nd half.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

How your two most consistent players right now don’t get any touches in the last 5 minutes of the half is beyond me?

they have to move and want the ball. there is no movement on offense.

 

[Volinnooga]

You ppl are the biggest whiners I have seen since I last visited the football forum. Refs suck, Kellie can’t coach, the players don’t care blah blah blah.
I agree we have played poorly but let’s get our heads on straight and fight to the end. This is round 2 and there are no bad teams in our bracket. GLVs!!

 

[Voluble2]

We watching men's game over .. end of half tells all .. Michigan players more pep .. excited to play .. they run to dressing room .. Davis for TN walking to dressing room . Too many head cases on that team .. they got their bottom lip down and their dobber down .. I can tell u now they are done .

Absolutely telling, isn't it?

Here is the truth. Champions put their heads down and win. Losers sulk and go home.

Our ladies had better decide which they want to be at halftime because MI has a lot of confidence and the refs will help them protect the lead in the second half.

Side comment: Take all the negative comments about HCKH and substitute "Holly" for them, and they would be the same comments people have posted on this board for years.

Do you have keyboard macros that just insert those comments for you?

Not sure Darby is ready for prime time..we shall see...

They've been VERY physical with her on boxouts.

 

[Putbacks]

So that’s the difference....K

100% agree

 

[Govols922]

This team has to calm down and play their game. They have to stop over thinking and just play the game. It’s simple. Coaches have to get In their players head. This team can make a final four. They just have to play team ball.

 

[kell7517]

Kellie better hammer the transfer portal for scorers or we will be bad next year without Rennia

1-8 Renia?

 

[Tennessee12]

At least she can hit a three
