Game Thread: Lady Vols at LSU

[Voluble2]

In basketball, the team which is more aggressive almost always wins.

You have to play on your toes, not your heels.

They are taking the game to us right now and we are lucky to only be down 4.

Kellie needs to fire this team up. They have no energy compared to the last game. What happened?

No number in front of this team. Playing down to an opponent as usual. We have to play at a high level all the time. Not just against ranked teams. Losing games like this kills us.

Marta is hurting us.

 

[Voluble2]

Marta is absolutely killing us every time she is in.

 

[Bballnut1952]

The body language from the ladies is not good.

 

[VolBall09]

Again, nobody stops the ball. Anyone gonna step up on defense?

Might as well stick Rennie or someone else out there. This LSU team is NOT good.

 

[Vols2015]

I don’t understand why we have KK, Tamari and Marta all in at the same time...

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Is Rennia in foul trouble, because she’s playing like on D

 

[Coach Jumper]

here comes Davis

 

[Voluble2]

They get every rebound.

We have to hit the first shot by making sure we take good shots.

 

[Voluble2]

Man KK threw it all the way over the basket and hit nothing.

 

[Vols2015]

KK got it get better making those easy layups. That makes 2 now she’s missed.

 

[VolBall09]

Even if we win playing like this hurts us in the eyes of public opinion. Still can’t put together back to back games.

 

[Voluble2]

KK actually had good hands there.

 

[Vols2015]

TAMARI WITH THE BLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Block Party down in BR!!!!!!!!

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

I was hoping last game was a turning point for KK but she has reverted back to her old style today.

 

[Volfan2012]

Really horrible play by us to have a one point lead. Defense got a little better but overall this has been a weak performance.

 

[Volfan2012]

KK back to old form threw two completely over the goal.

 

[VolBall09]

Stunning we have a lead at the half. Due in no part to positive play on our behalf. Only reason we’re not down double digits right now is that LSU is god awful this season.

They were hot in the first half, but it’s easy to shoot 60% on open layups. Percentages generally don’t lie. I suspect we still win by double digits but this is ugly so far.

We can be grateful this one wasn't televised in prime time.

Regardless of outcome, don't think I'm going to lose sleep tonight staying up for the game replay.

Public opinion means nothing. Just Win conference game. We are still building this team and we are not ranked. So yes just win even if its ugly. In CHRIST Alone

 

[ttharp]

After riding the high post-Arkansas, we’ve been brought back to reality. Great to see us take the lead and get a stop to end the half.

Hoping we can make the right halftime adjustments and maybe create some separation in the 2nd half.

 

[movinonup]

I’m only getting the updated score on my ESPN+ or SECN+. Grrrrr.

I FINALLY got on - had to change browsers - was in Chrome but changed to Firefox and got right in.

 

[creekdipper]

Our traditional strengths...defense and rebounding...are really letting us down today.

Not many turnovers. How many assists?

 

[Volfan2012]

I would think LSU has to be feeling really good to be within one with their main big sitting out the entire half almost. They will not just drive it with Pointer and she will take it in or dish to the big the rest of the way. I just hope in the end were have the same one point lead we have now. This looks like a repeat of last season's game down here.
