NCAAT Game Thread: Lady Vols vs Louisville

[SGMVols]

Striplin is the only post on the team who understands the concept of not bringing the ball down after the catch.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Karoline Striplin, Alexus Dye and Kaiya Wynn, are the players keeping us in striking distance.

No doubt!

 

[Ovol]

Crap foul call.

Dearstone said Walz yelled across the floor at the ref to call it.

Karoline passes really really well. And keeps the ball high. Love to see it.

Drives me insane

STRIPLIN!

 

[LadyVol1908]

Our 4 freshmen aren’t perfect but they play hard and have a ton of potential.

THIS x’s 100000! Very good foundation recruiting class!

 

[lvocd]

Only down 11? Hell, that's practically a win the way things have gone so far!

Gotta hope the Cards have another 4th-quarter meltdowns in them, and then that Tennessee gets something going.

Striplin and Puckett both have really high basketball iq's.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Did I miss that foul

If that was a foul they missed about 150 others.

 

[Vols2015]

Alexus has been getting her shot returned to sender all half.

She’s gotta adjust. She’s an undersized post player, so she’s gonna have to be a little more hesitant with her shots, and fake the opponent out.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I honestly hope Key and Walker stay on the bench the 2nd half!

The game outlook would look a bit different if Wynn would have made her free throws..

 

[ttharp]

Been a lot of talk about whether Karoline can be a solid backup for TK. She’s showing she can today. She’s actually playing better. TK needs to show up and be a force.

 

[utkCREW]

Listen, I’m a drag queen. I know what a pain eyelash extensions are. If I was a coach, I’d yank those off her head until she had consistent double doubles!

Replayed 3 times, yes Walz screaming get your hands off and the ref bit.
This is not a quality call, but I'm more disappointed in our coach not defending our players on that call

 

[TN1111]

Same problems as previous coach... Bad turnovers, Layups, wide open misses... Basic fundamental basketball

I’m pulling for Kellie to get the job done,,,but if they continue to play this stale offense, we’re all going to be here next year after losses wondering why with Horston, Key, Pissott, Jackson, etc…we still lose games. Time to pay as much attention to the offense as you do on defense and rebounding.

She was so open that one play and waited for the defender to recover.

I’ll still tentatively pull for Kellie also bc I like the IQ recruits of Puckett, Striplin, and Pissot. Very tentative tho.

I absolutely agree. That is really going to help us the next 3 years.

 

[LadyVol1908]

The game outlook would look a bit different if Wynn would have made her free throws..

And Tess would have hit her wide open 3s!

 

[Voluble2]

Kellie gets to earn her money now. Second half can be totally different or it can be more of the same.

Let's hope she has something up her sleeve.

 

[SandyO]

You just can’t be an elite team without a great point guard.

Yep veteran coach vs young refs are intimidated. Sad but it happens in mens game too . Refs are fans too and sometimes get star struck & in awe.

Mickey says Jeff Walz is refereeing this game.

We've taken 12 free throws to Louisville's 6.
