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

[Amb3096]

Walker got better as a FT shooter.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Dye is Player of the Game.

 

[SGMVols]

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

Which won’t be long if things don’t drastically improve soon. They have back to back games against ranked teams starting Monday

 

[zaqhhh]

Not pretty at all. I think this goes beyond the girls not playing.

But I do have to give them credit for responding to adversity and pulling it out.

Hoping things improve but glad to see us open the season with a win nonetheless.

That’s two and we are ahead by 8. 36.6. Yes, miracles do happen.

 

[Amb3096]

15-2 run to end the game. LVs showed a lot of fight when they could've finished with an embarrassing loss

 

[glv98]

Imagine if Jordan Walker had good wheels? Speaking of Pat, she would love this player.

 

[Bigkat]

Darby may need to look at a smaller school

It wasn't pretty but glad to get the win. Hope rae is OK.

When ur top three players don’t play most of the game, It’s gonna be ugly but we still came away with the win.

My only feedback… masks with holes for whistles in them are one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.

 

[lvocd]

We need to remember who these officials are and pray we never see them again. They really are bad. Of course, it's early in the season for them, too, so hopefully they'll also get better. [Can't get any darn worse]

 

[87&91ALUM]

20 seconds and we are going to the line ahead by 8

 

[LurkerExposed]

Two SIU timeouts. Two Lady Vol steals off of them....

 

[87&91ALUM]

Dang missed both FTs but made a layup

We were losing to a bad mid major team for over 3 1/2 quarters I give them credit for nothing. Embarrassing performance.

It is very important that some of the freshmen played key roles in it too. It was ugly, but that is exactly what young players need to build confidence. They have to be challenged. The game has to be on the line. And they have to pull it out.

 

[VolBall09]

The fact that this could end a double digit win is insane. A lot of fight to end it here. This was a choppy mess of a game. Much of that due to the way it was and was not officiated. It was equally poor officiating both ways, but wow was it poor.

I will be praying hard for Rae, I’m sick thinking about it. Hopefully Jordan just has a light sprain

 

[87&91ALUM]

Tennessee pulls a rabbit out of the hat. Dang. We win.

 

[SGMVols]

UCF is going to be a tough test if we’re still down Burrell and Horston. It might still be even if we have them.

I tend to agree but it is never easy to come back especially for how cold they were shooting.

I have serious concerns over this team and frankly CKH tenure at this point but let’s see how this unfolds with a full lineup. Don’t have much optimism but they deserve a shot.

Please tell me such a thing does not exist.

Of course, it is no different than the gap at the bridge of the nose. It makes the wearing performative rather than functional.

Yet still won by 10, without horston (the whole game), key (3 quarters), and rae (2nd half). I give HUGE credit to the rest of the team for overcoming that and still winning by double digits.

 

[Volfan2012]

Usually when you get outscored 24 to 6 three point shooting you lose. Dye hit some huge shots then Puckett losing this would have ruined the season. Now where do we go from here?

If you say so.
