SECT Game Thread: Lady Vols 74 - Kentucky 83

[dapeak]

Rae played a good game. Alexus played a good game. And the freshmen continue to get experience and are developing very very well. Super impressed with Karoline and how she’s looking backing up Key. Brooklyn and Kaiya look like they’ll be BALLERS next season. Sara had some good moments.

Game was sloppy and very lazily called. I can’t believe all the no calls in this game. Key’s fouls were definitely legit but she was mugged all game by Treasure.

If this is the Snoop we’re getting for the rest of the season we’ll get to the S16 without Jordy.. if she’s able to come back and everyone stays with this level of intensity… we can make the Elite 8 but it’s about matchups and energy with this team.

Rae in the pros will be an all star in her third season. I know Snoop doesn’t have the size of other post players but she showed some handles and as of late has looked to be on a mission so I don’t doubt she’ll be in someone’s training camp.

I regret that the Lady Vols lost, however, the freshmen played a heck of a game. Striplin has outstanding potential. She is going to be an outstanding post player. Wynn and Myles are outstanding defenders. I still think that TK needs to work on her footwork and her hand strength. Dye was off the charts the last two games. Where was all this previously? I feel that if we had Horston, we would have had a good chance to win this game. However, I feel that we can make some noise in the NCAAs.

And no Puckett

She can't buy a break!!!!

 

[creekdipper]

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

They live for this...trolling fans of other teams. They don't even try to hide it. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Wynn will be a player!!

 

[Mr French]

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

I think she's a 1st round pick just no longer #10-15

haha from nowhere but they r entertaining lol

 

[dtnvol]

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.

#1 SC lost to Missouri [without its' best player]...in other words, stuff happens...LVFL

 

[Volfan2012]

I think Sarah is looking forward to the season being over. When she was in high school at Muscle Shoals she only played two of the 8 minute quarters. She came in here and starting playing 25 to 30 a game early in the season. Her minutes have dropped in the last several games she just looks physically tired hit that freshman wall because she was the one of all the freshmen getting the playing time.

 

[mudcat1973]

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

rae not jumping like she was before injury. kellie said rae has not explodive as she was last. year. she was better defener last year to. preseason watch list for player of the year.

 

[Luna2012]

Lard Ass, Fat chick, man..c'mon, I understand being upset about the game, but these comments about players are just not cool. Be better.

She does need another year.

I think Dye did not like Rae coming back and taking her minutes. She appeared very unmotivated during that stretch. But with Jordy out she now feels she has to carry more of the load and is back to being more intense and dynamic.

Striplin is the mystery. Why did we not do more to develop her during the season? Did the light just come on for her? Or is this game and aberration? She seems to show a lot of potential.

Puckett needs to get out of her shooting funk. She is better than that, and this team desperately needs another scorer. You can't have her and Darby be this unproductive on the offensive end and beat a good team.

I don't obviously see her practice day in and out so I'll rely on Harper's take. She's moving great from what I've seen and initiated contact without shying away.

 

[J-Dog 1313]

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.

I think Jordan W might be moved to the 2 next season and Jasmine Powell inserted as the PG. If that is the case, hopefully, Jordan W will increase her scoring, like when she was at Western Michigan. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We still have plenty of basketball yet to play this season. GBO.

Puckett is tired ... Strip seems to have figured it out!!!

We will agree to disagree and i dont look for that to happen especially with her injury.

 

[Memvol44]

Nah. She is still a half step slower .

 

[RAVOL]

She can't buy a break!!!!

She definitely needs this week off get in the gym practice and get confidence back. In CHRIST Alone

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

The only thing I have to say is where was this Alexus Dye all season???

Fair enough.

Would it soothe your delicate sensibilities if we referred to her as the circumferentially over-endowed lady?

FFS, get a grip!

 

[youcancallmeAl]

There will never be another Pat Summitt.

Correct. Time to get used to it.

WHat's next...she the right weight but needs to be taller !??..

 

[J-Dog 1313]

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

Same with SC's Boston. Both Howard and Boston can be as physical as they want to be and rarely have fouls called on them. Meanwhile, Tamari seems to be called for fouls by simply looking at another player.
