Game Thread: Iowa v Lady Vols, Sat Dec 7th ; Shark Beauty Women's Champions Classic; 7PM; FOX network TV; WIN 78-68

[Volfan1000]

Did you know that TN has the only undefeated women’s and men’s basketball squads in the country?

I am surprised that this game is close with Iowa having so many turnovers.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

They have worked us over rebounding too, another reason it’s only a 3 point lead.

 

[Volfan2012]

Spearman been resting should be ready to take it to them.

 

[VolBall09]

Whoever takes a 5 point lead will win the game. Just one of those ballgames. Been ugly. Credit Iowa for that, that was their only chance and they have done a great job of it.

Doesn’t help we couldn’t hit an open shot to save our life in the first half.

Players have to get in the gym and get shots up.

 

[ttharp]

They need to rotate the ball. The offense looks like Kellie ball too much.

It stinks that bad half court offense continues to plague this program.

It’s still early and CKC doesn’t have a squad made in her image, so hopefully we see improvements in the future

 

[LadyVol1908]

If Sara and Jewel start to show up this season, I’d feel SO much better!

 

[VolBall09]

Spearman been resting should be ready to take it to them.

This hasn’t been a good matchup for her. She’s has struggled with O’Gradys frame.

 

[SGMVols]

Iowa’s players know how to win. Ours are having to learn. Their biggest test to this point will be this 4th quarter.

 

[Vols2015]

Iowa looks tired, we have to separate to open the fourth quarter.

Hope for a double digit win!

 

[VolBall09]

If Sara and Jewel start to show up this season, I’d feel SO much better!

At least one of them. Jewel is living in Lala land. Looks so disengaged.

 

[ShortyMac10]

Missing layups

Need some 3’s from her or something!!

 

[VolBall09]

Annnnd another terrible call. They have bailed Iowa out on forced shots all night. As a defender that is so irritating

 

[glv98]

Cooper so much more athletic than Olsen. Not even close. No way she was getting a clean look there.

Not impressed with Olsen, truly. She was a Big East hype project. Weak league.

You're such a hater. Olsen is a really good player. This Iowa team is 100x less hate-able than previous ones.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I HATE teams that flop! The refs buy right into it every time!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

How in the hell was that a foul? Lol

 

[And1]

This is total bs.

 

[VolBall09]

Game over most likely. That was the energy shift we’ve been looking for all night and it went to Iowa.

 

[Putbacks]

That would have been a block on the other end.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Wide open 3s

 

[Vols2015]

Nice defense by Puckett!

 

[Vols2015]

Darby 3!

 

[glv98]

Game over most likely. That was the energy shift we’ve been looking for all night and it went to Iowa.

Long way to go still. It's been so back and forth.

No it’s bad shooting, wide open 3s and some layups.

 

[VolBall09]

This has been an infuriating game to watch as a fan. Ugly basketball ugly officiating.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Playing selfish Coop
