Game Thread: Lady Vols vs. Alabama

[cwbytruckers]

Get your butts down the court and have some pride. Love that from CKH

32 minutes of excellent basketball tarnished somewhat by the last 8 minutes.
Oh no. Jackson got hurt.

 

[Vols2015]

Thank you Lord Jackson is okay!

 

[VolBall09]

Hated the 4th quarter. We have to continue to play our game. Which includes defense. No matter what the score is. Until then we will not be a Final Four team.

First 3 quarters shows you what kind of team this is. Alabama is no slouch and we were just mincing them up with our passing and cutting.

 

[volnationnj]

Whew !!! Jackson's up

 

[VolBall09]

Jesus what is wrong with Barker?

Also this should have been a 30 point win. I’m steaming mad.

 

[zaqhhh]

Bad 4Q, looked really off.

But a wire to wire win over a top 4-5 SEC team in what could be comparable to 1st round NCAA matchup is big.

Scoring 90 against a team like this is not easy. Kudos to our Lady Vols today!

 

[Vols2015]

Barker should be fouled out with all these missed calls. Surprised they finally called one

 

[VolBall09]

Screw Alabama.

89-76 final! Wish the margin was bigger, but it’s a win!

Bad coaching was part of it. It seriously looked like they were told to stop contesting shots. Wtf?

Congrats on 500 wins at TBA!

 

[Gilmore]

Great overall game but need to finish stronger and maintain some intensity.

 

[Putbacks]

This team has the personnel to win the NC. However, decision making and lack of defense could get them bounced in the first round. Got to get those things fixed.

Eight point favorite won by 13 but it could've been over 20. Team needs to keep playing hard with big leads play like it is a one possession game.

 

[I4Vols]

Nice game, nice win
Little loose on D in the last few mins.
I give Walker big plus this game. Hit one of those 3's and it's an A+.
Darby, RJ just top of their game

 

[Vols2015]

Jackson with 22 points!
Darby with 16 points (4 3s)!
Hollingshead with 15 points!
Walker with 15 points (7-7 from the free throw line)!
Horston may have only had 9 points, but she dished 9 assists!

For me it’s not about hitting one. Take two less and make two better plays and it’s an A+.

Rule for Walker should be she gets one three. If it goes in she can shoot another. If she misses the first, no more. Too many other good scoring options for that.

Opps, forgot Hollingshead. She showed the energy and grit down low

 

[Hoosier]

still no killer instinct from the LVs --- if you are up by 20, you should be trying to get up by 30, not just running out the clock --- hurting the opponent's feelings is NOT a consideration --- quit being "nice"

Misspoke corrected

 

[Volfaninfl2]

What a great game! Congrats Lady Vols !!!

 

[VolBall09]

I will admit, they were probably getting tired toward the end of the game. Their game in a week and they were really giving it for the second and most of the third quarters.

 

[UT Challenger]

Alabama has no answer for Jackson

Most teams won't
