Game Thread: (#15/12) Lady Vols 59 - Southern Illinois 49

[87&91ALUM]

47.7 seconds...go Vols

 

[PG1]

Take that SIU!

 

[Voluble2]

Very nice to see Sara make two big baskets for us down the stretch.

Maybe that will allow here to play with more confidence now.

 

[SGMVols]

Well, it’s going to be a win, which beats the alternative.

But this isn’t going to inspire much confidence going forward if Burrell is out

 

[lvocd]

SIU will be bombing threes after this time out.

Get the Dub and I’ll be happy. It’s the first game and many teams, esp men’s, struggle early on. Ohio State needed a last second possession to win last nt. I just hope this team is better (and more exciting to watch) than what we are seeing tonight.

Miles’ 1-1 defensive effort forcing the 10 second changed this game. It was a very smart play and she baited the opponent right into it.

Hopefully this is the worst we'll see this season.

Dang I hope they get Horston back soon. Seems like the freshmen are stepping up.

 

[volnationnj]

The ugliest win is better than any loss.

 

[MAD]

Salukis are capitulating down the stretch.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

We are awful and not the least bit prepared.

Who do you suggest we blame for that?

 

[87&91ALUM]

55-49 46.4 secs

 

[Vols2015]

I sure hope Rae is healthy and gets back on her feet and also Horston. We need them badly.

 

[Volfan2012]

Get the ball and run out the clock please!!!

 

[creekdipper]

Pat would be saying exactly what a lot of posters are saying here. She wasn't shy about lighting teams up when they didn't perform.

Pat Summitt was not a quitter.

 

[Vols2015]

Alexis Dye is ready to play, she is going to be big.

 

[87&91ALUM]

How was that not a foul? Refs horrible.

 

[Voluble2]

That 1-1 defensive effort by Miles when she forced the 10 second changed this game. It was a very smart play and she baited the opponent right into it.

That was a good play. But she did the freshman thing the next play and gave up a turnover.

Overall, very positive night for her though. SHe and Walker were on the floor together when we had to get back in the game. Good experience to be relied upon like that.

 

[SGMVols]

Hopefully this is the worst we'll see this season.

I was never sold that this was a top 15 team even with Rae, but it absolutely is not without her. The result of this MRI is going to determine if the future for this team is bullish or bearish

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

TN is not a top 15 team no way

They r as long as they have that number in front of their name

 

[87&91ALUM]

Are these announcers calling our game?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Yay! Great take away

 

[87&91ALUM]

Shooting FTs

 

[87&91ALUM]

That’s one
