Game Thread: (#15/12) Lady Vols 49 - UCF 41

[Volfan2012]

Horston still turnover queen. Hasn't learned a thing from last year. She will be a really good player once she gets over herself. Congrats LV on tonights win.

She got really careless with the ball in the second half. She played a tremendous first half.

Been a strange year 90 percent of womens teams have looked ugly in these early games. I haven't seen so many teams play so badly in any year.

Where do get the 90% from?

Yep, really think she was hurting pretty bad. She seemed to be trying to avoid putting weight on that ankle any way she could.

You're divisive and know little about women's basketball and I'm so glad you are not our coach.

And yet I'm not the genius who said Saunders needed minutes tonight. So glad you're not the coach...

She got really careless with the ball in the second half.

Which isn't much different than her entire career. At some point you would hope she would be developed and mature enough to move past it...

Total killer because Tess is proving to be inconsistent at best. Horston good for about 30 percent which is ok that is at least making one occasionally. I think Puckett is probably good for 35 percent when she gets it all going with believing she belongs here. Walker about 30 percent. Tess and Rennie called three point shooters thus far are 0 for 6 and that just don't happen to a three point shooter. Another game today sure Tess will play some has to make the shot if she get three or four chances today. I can see giving her 10 to 15 minutes if she can prove reliable in making a couple of threes a game. Defensively didn't play well against SIU. I'm all for her coming off the bench and Puckett getting the start for Burrell. I think we need to go Puckett, Dye, Key, Horston, and Walker. Off the bench with Green, Miles, Wynn, Striplin, and Darby.

I can't understand why these great shooters get to TN and can't hit the broad side of a barn door once they get here!

One could say the same for your entire persona on this board.

Puckett probably needs to shoot more 2 of 3 in the game only one other than Horston 6 for 13 and Key 2 for 4 that had a decent shooting percentage.

And one could use the ignore button...

Yes we probably need to cut down on her handling of the ball. Miles does a better job of that. We still need her in there to score her shots were huge in the first half of the game.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Horston had got to stop trying to be fancy passing the daggone ball!

That will not change.

 

[brassie]

11 assists and 28 turnovers!

Are there any who had 28 turnovers with one player with 11?

 

[Darth_Vol]

Bottom line, this looks like a team with three mid-major players starting (Darby is a mid-major talent), and another playing significant minutes off the bench...

 

[VolBall09]

Jordan played very hard and we would not have won without her. Her double double was 100% necessary and she gutted it out. Just a bummer it was also a triple double..

Yes I wasn't sure why JH handled so much tonight. Miles played 30 mins! And played well again. Who saw that coming? Also Walker is playing ok so that means JH can scoot on over to off ball and score, score, score and rebound.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I didn't see the game but just checked the box score .... Did Horston really have 11 turnovers? If so, damn that is discouraging.

Horston isn’t and has never been a PG in College she is a 3 to me based on her poor ball handling.. with Rae out I would start Miles/Walker/Horston/Dye/Green but I think her minutes are limited right now..Key needs to be first off the bench and just let the game flow to her and this way she doesn’t get a foul in the first few minutes..

Only a problem if you don't force the same amount of turnovers from the opponent which we did this game. Defense won this game.

I like that lineup also. We may be forced into it alot since Key's foul trouble seems to be getting worse, not better. Puckett first off bench.

Would help that lineup a ton if Walker and/or Miles could start popping an occasional 3.

 

[Volfan2012]

I kept thinking Key might be better in the post if Green was in there with her. Green is a load can clear some space for a player to work inside.

Offense sure as hell didn't.

 

[Volfan2012]

Where do get the 90% from?

Look at the scores if you have the time. Mid majors in the top 100 rankings winning some games and other games have been very close. Evidently your not paying attention you have to do your own research.

 

[Volfan2012]

Don't need to it was win and winning is all that matters.

The go-to move for this one.
