NCAA Tournament Game Thread - (4) Ohio State vs (5) Lady Vols

[Vols2015]

Petty now with 3 fouls

Need to try to get a 3rd on her (assume you meant Petty).

And just like that, she gets her 3rd!

 

[ttharp]

That absolutely was a foul of Petty.

 

[And1]

Spencer needs to make these FTs

 

[zaqhhh]

That went about as well as I reasonably thought it could for us

 

[Vols2015]

Halfway done! Up 5 and scored 40. We’re gonna need 80 I think to win this game.

 

[LivinginthePast]

Great half

 

[Voluble2]

That wasn’t a foul on zee

Not even close.

TN started showing a lot more composure after they settled in. Ohio State now dealing with some foul trouble.

 

[Voltopia]

Hell of a half. The slow start for five minutes and then they got it in gear.

As long as Tennessee doesn't have one of those low scoring quarters, I believe they're in a great spot. They just have to keep up the pressure and keep forcing Ohio State into uncomfortable play.

 

[RAVOL]

Showed great composure after getting down by double digits. Like how we are playing. Second half we need to attack rim. Petty 3 fouls will not be aggressive. Other big out. Go Lady Vols. In CHRIST Alone

 

[KTrain]

Over/under how many times that dude announcer said UT was behind by 11 in the 1st. I say he says it 5 more times.

 

[JCP201]

We are hanging in there. Hope the refs whistle is more second quarter than first.

 

[VolBalls33]

I wanted one of those WIDE open 3's to go down for Sara. Just one and maybe she can get on a run going from deep. UT is at least playing tough and has the lead at halftime. Hopefully UT comes out swinging in the 3rd Q.

 

[VolBall09]

That absolutely was a foul of Petty.

She has always been foul prone.

 

[volforlife10]

we need to come our the gates hot and get some distance between them. 5 point lead is nothing for either team.

 

[VolBall09]

Draw one up for Tess out of the break. She’s on a mission, you can tell. That senior isn’t ready to go home.

 

[Voluble2]

I like our intensity and aggression. Keep that up in the second half.

The bucknuts got winded, and they got rattled a bit. Some of their players do not seem to like physical play. Keep grinding and wearing them down, and keep outhustling them.

Even Jill outfought some people for rebounds and did not back down.

And Boyd will be fresh for the second half.

Over/under how many times that dude announcer said UT was behind by 11 in the 1st. I say he says it 5 more times.

I’ll take the over for $200!

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Buckeyes were looking tired by the middle of the 2nd

 

[ttharp]

We don’t need to relax on Cambridge and Gray.

Even though they didn’t have a big 1st half, they can easily get hot.

 

[MAD]

Great half

Agreed, those girls gave their all.

 

[GameTime]

It is an exciting game...LOL

 

[RespectAPA]

Ohio State averages 11 TO/s a half, Tennessee turned it over only 7 times. There's a saying that press teams hate to be pressed, but so far it looks like our experience with the press in practice has kept us from struggling very much. If either team starts generating turnovers, this game could swing very quickly...

 

[KTrain]

Coop don't pass under there...

Coop a great player and will only get better but sometimes she makes some inexplicable passes.
