Game Thread Lady Vols vs South Carolina

[Trixietrouble]

Two National superstars stink it up at the end of the quarter. DD wildly flings a prayer at the bucket, and Mitchell dribbles back with zero clock awareness. Two fails right there.

If games were decided in the first quarter we would be undefeated we always win the first quarter.

 

[Volfan2012]

DeShields playing ugly ball so far may need to bench her.

holly at the end of the 1st qtr - OK ladies good job now just play defense and hold the lead

 

[TN1111]

Looks like two teams with a lot of talent that have coaches that can't coach an offense.

 

[Voluble2]

Russell must not be able to bend over because she never gets down for the loose ball.

 

[casetopia]

we play defense then we rest on offense

 

[Trixietrouble]

If SC has National title hopes, single digit quarters indicate it probably won't happen.

SEC basketball.

 

[reverseosmosis]

any predictions?

I guess 65-62 sc in ot

sc 89 tn 54

"understand what you are trying to accomplish on offense." The color commentator, who is smart, sees how incompetent we are on offense.

 

[Sandvol]

Finally a good decision by Deshields.

 

[Trixietrouble]

DD hits! Pretty jumper.

 

[Sandvol]

Don't start bailing SC out ref.

 

[Voluble2]

Graves is having to battle the bigger player. Shades of our post game next year.

Deshields is a turnover machine

 

[Trixietrouble]

That's the type of pass that Diamond needs to resist. Way too low probability of success.

We're in serious trouble next year. We'll have one true post.

Nared- u have to catch the ball

I agree

 

[mlindsay]

It's clear to see the chemistry thing, Diamond tries to pass her teammates can't catch the ball. Near the end of the first we score and she sets up to press only for us to no longer be in the press (she looks back at Holly with her hands in the air like wtf are we doing) we should be pressing SC at all times they do not have any guards (outside of Mitchell) who could possibly get by us. People say Diamond is selfish, sometimes I wish she would really selfish and just say bump it because she seems to be one of a few who really seems to want it

 

[TN1111]

Deshields is a turnover machine

Deshields turns it over too much but that was on Nared- it hit both her hands. If you can't catch a pass with some heat on it you shouldn't be playing basketball

 

[mlindsay]

Nared- u have to catch the ball

Yes she does she was wide open

 

[I81Exit146]

And that ONE is Russell.

DD hits! Pretty jumper.

She needs to shoot every chance she gets . If she can get some confidence, she can be a dominating player. Defense worries about her, we get many put backs.
