SECT Game Thread: Lady Vols 74 - Kentucky 83

[Coach Jumper]

The problem with Key is she brings the ball down way to much, And when when get`s the ball she offensive moves are slow like she is in slow motion. If you look at 6-7 So Cardoso she never brings the ball down.

and especially this

 

[Govols922]

Let’s not beat the team up. The lady vols are an amazing team. Just couldn’t pull it out tonight.

Also, a team that’s has this many injuries and has a nice showing like we did. We owe them nothing but respect. They are tough! I can’t imagine the mental fatigue of having to regroup after every injury.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Hope she can come back two weeks before we play.

yea, i thought i saw somewhere it said 3-6 but 6-8 makes sense too. I read somewhere can't do eight bearing activities til week 6 really. but each person is different

 

[Voluble2]

keep apologizing for the one and done.

It was a two and through.

And that is about our ceiling in the NCAA as well.

 

[Mr French]

rae still favors her knee some.

Yall are seeing something I'm not then. She's driving and moving laterally fine.

 

[Dak1219]

I'll rephrase, would you care if she transferred given Miles and Powell coming to play?

Walker had 10 assists tonight and 6 points tonight. Only 2 turnovers. Why would we want her to transfer? She will most likely be the starting PG next season even with the addition of Jazz Powell.

Alexus Dye and Coach Joy told her to keep the ball high on two different occasions. I love the fact she was doing Vol Leadership but my hope for her this summer is she is on campus the WHOLE time or in the gym training.

yes,,,with Coach Jumper

Program is still not at level to overcome injuries especially to your All American Guard. Boy do we miss her D and rebounding. Big difference without her. I still give KY credit boy are they shooting it with confidence. Take the week off recover. In CHRIST Alone

 

[lvocd]

Dye is on a roll, and I'm hopeful Burrell will continue building on the positives. Striplin showed a lot of promise -- was proud of her! Overall, the freshmen had many fine moments in this game; also made some typical freshman mistakes. Much to build on there. Gotta have more from Key going forward.

My inner therapist is telling me that for my mental health I need to let this be JUST a loss of a game and not get too caught up in analyzing it to death. Hate that Tennessee lost, but ... moving on!

 

[Govols922]

C'mon guys, Walker has not been a bad player for us...been tough since the Jordy injury...

Agreed! These girls are so tough

 

[Volfan2012]

We need to go out and get another post player that has size and skills. Striplin, Puckett, and Suarez are really fours not the big five backup you need. Tamari just stays in foul trouble to much and her not being in there really hurts us defensively.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I hope they make necessary adjustments and are able to make a run in the tournament. I’m as frustrated with the inconsistency as anybody, but when they’re on, they can win. It’s all about matchups

 

[th2421]

You lose two players like Horston and Green your in a tough situation no matter who your coach is. Glad to see all our true fans are out tonight to give us their input. Never get their expertise when we win a game.

Yes. The worst thing about losing are these people showing up on this forum and trashing our team.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

yes,,,with Coach Jumper

NO, with her trainer or Coach Joy

 

[Mr French]

She makes me think of Westbrook.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Now i get what they mean say when they say playing with one arm tied behind their back or in this case one arm tied up by a sling

 

[UT Challenger]

Howard is a magic player. Throws the ball up & it goes in for two.

She pushes off on every play and gets away with it.

Good call...

 

[creekdipper]

Oh ok. Lost 1 player and then blown out to a 10 win auburn team. Hard to argue that we are just not a good basketball team this year. Maybe next year.

Thanks for offering this genius take after calling our team "trash." Obviously a dedicated, loyal fan...of Andy Landers.

 

[Memvol44]

I love the Treasure Hunt flops... i really hope the women adopt the flop rule they r looking at this summer.

TK was tentative but it was because she was in foul trouble all night. Karo showed me something tonite and i think she will be more aggressive next game.

Yes Strip showed out a bit..

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

She pushes off on every play and gets away with it.

The play they went up by 6 on a 3 pt shot instead of discounting the play was a momentum breaker. she threw rae outta bounds. Wonder what their team is gonna look like without Rhyne next year ... oh what fun it will be

 

[orange beard]

She's been pressing since the day she came back. She can't still be a lottery pick. Can't trust her with the ball.

She has to come back if she wants to play in the WNBA!

 

[Volfan2012]

The game came down to them being able to make 12 threes. Most teams can't make that many if you don't guard them. They had the magic touch tonight. I bet they don't make five tomorrow even if they get open looks which I doubt they will get.
