NCAAT Game Thread: Lady Vols vs Louisville

[Voluble2]

Exploiting Darby on defense now.

 

[zaqhhh]

Yes, we have the talent to beat Michigan.

I agree, we wouldn’t be favored tho

 

[SGMVols]

Louisville killing us in transition.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

It’s gonna be a long day of open 3’s for Louisville

 

[ttharp]

If Tess can’t nail some 3s, she needs to sit. This is a bad matchup for her defensively.

 

[Vols2015]

Not liking how we are settling for outside shots right now. Rae needs to calm down and quit forcing outside jumpers. Why are we backing up against the traps instead of advancing the ball?

 

[ARPfan4life]

That’s twice a missed 3 by TN led to a made 3 by Louisville. 6 quick points given away.

Yes if she will not deliver on her threes, we have to sit her today.

 

[zaqhhh]

I just don’t see the team speed to beat Louisville

Rae hasn’t been the same since her injury, not a bad first 5 but we are down by 4 even so

 

[Volstylexx]

Puckett going to make her earn it. I like her intensity.

 

[Volfan2012]

Tess can't hit those wide open shots don't know why she is in the game.

Louisville’s defensive intensity looks a like TN’s did when we were 18-1. It’s rare a team makes us look slow, but Louisville is doing just that.

Well it’s evident so far Burrell is a step slower than everyone else on the court. Tess is still ice cold and Key is, well Key.

 

[LadyinOrange]

They gotta shake off those jitters.

 

[Volfan2012]

Burrell two bad turnovers already. I wish she would settle in and play team ball.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We have no offensive plan. The person with the ball tries to make something happen and the other 4 stand and watch. Then when dribble is picked up everyone is covered. We are a easy team to guard if we are going to continue to play like this.

 

[Real Info]

Darby playing is something I don’t understand. I’m sorry if people disagree. What does she do that makes us championship level? She kills us defensively, can not set others up offensively, and has taken two wide open threes (bricks). Seems like a great young lady, so please do not say I’m attacking her. I’m just honestly wondering.

 

[Ovol]

We don’t like to guard the three point shooter. Evidently we think Key needs all 4 of the other players to help her..

 

[Voluble2]

Can't be tight on the offensive end and win. Three missed threes and about five turnovers for empty possessions won't get it done.

 

[ARPfan4life]

Maybe we should have substituted Puckett for Darby. Feel like we should have kept Dye in the game.

She's just not the same player that she was last year.

Yeah I didn’t feel like she had a good matchup today and so far she does not. Miles needs to be in the game.

 

[ARPfan4life]

Let’s hope we can get through this first half with no foul trouble on Key

 

[Volstylexx]

Love how ESPN thinks 8 national titles by TN is less than 0 by Louisville.

 

[cwbytruckers]

And got back lazy on defense for their open three

 

[Volstylexx]

Let’s hope we can get through this first half with no foul trouble on Key

This would be beneficial but really need her to step up. She’s a non factor right now and we can’t win with that.
