Game Thread: (11/12) Lady Vols vs. Rutgers

[mudcat1973]

Tess Darby with four rebounds and a steal her game is really coming on every game.

Your one of the few who see little things Tess does. You do not have to go 11 of 12 for 30 like Jackson! Way to JACKSON 30. To help team win.

A great confidence builder which we needed right now. Limited minutes for the starters and action for everyone. Way to go Lady Vols.

Wow ,if Lady Vols can play Rutgers 30 more times this year they will be ok by Tournament time.....that is if Rutgers is the opponent .

Congratulation To the Lady Vol's for a nice win today. Now for another win tomorrow. As always go Lady Vol's.

4th quarter 22-12 Rutgers. They really gained on our last group. Striplin looked the best in that group.

Who was in at the end of the game. Was following it on ESPN and didn't look like we had any scorers on the floor

Rickea scored 26 points in 20 minutes on 11 of 12 shooting. Fantastic!

Long season. But win one game impressively to losing two games very badly. Doesn’t make the world all better, yet.

Well that IS exactly the point. It is a LOOOHNG season but quite a few posters on this board were quite willing to make definitive statements about a failed team and coach after game 3 of what could be 35+ game season.

karoline sets picks for shoters. Other bigs need to watch her sit picks. Karoline putback look good today and her shot.

Miles, Wynn, Edie, Justine, and Striplin. Going by memory, but pretty sure that was it.

 

[Volfan2012]

Regardless of the score today or the opponent I saw a different energy level today especially from the five starters. The defense was much more intense and we certainly were hitting shots.

Love Karoline and her tenacity. She just needs to learn to avoid picking up fouls. She and Jill can be real assets.

Edie, Striplin, for sure. Pissott…

Yes!

 

[Rickster]

Well, when all you got is to complain about turnovers from substitutes…….

 

[Volfan2012]

Just from what I saw today Karoline should be ahead of Jillian and she is right there with Marta. She made numerous smart plays had 6 point 3 rebounds a blocked shot and one steal in probably about 10 to 12 minutes of play. She is a really excellent post up player and knows how to set screens. I hope she gets some more opportunities she was really excellent today.

 

[Volfan2012]

Yes!

Wynn got to throwing up wild shots there at the end cost us our 100 points.

So .... who will be the LVs next victim?

 

[Raebo]

Sounds like a good win to get us ready for the tests coming upin the rest of the tourney. Be interesting to see how coach Kellie handles it after this game.

SDSt vs UCLA up next.

 

[Volfan2012]

So .... who will be the LVs next victim?

UCLA vs South Dakota State and I consider that game a tossup so no idea who will win.

 

[Dak1219]

21 turnovers in a game against a bad team still has me questioning the coaching.

But a 40 point win over a major conference team is a needed rebound.

Hopefully the TO thing will eventually be fixed

They played 15 people. The starters had 6 turn overs between them. Question the coaching? What a dumb comment.

Karoline never had change to play and get going. KAROLINE NEEDS PLAYING TIME!! SHE BETTER THEN SOME PEOPLE ON WANT TO ADMINT!!!

Winner of UCLA and South Dakota State University.

They played twice last year, and South Dakota State won both. Bunch of mean. mountain women..half bear / half cat.

I could see her being a really good backup for Tamari think she could hold down the fort while she was on the bench.

Always good to win the games you’re supposed to win.
