My hope in Sara figuring it out in this system is waning.

She should never be allowed to take a player off the dribble.

 

[VolBall09]

Puckett airballs a layup then gives one up on the other end. So tired of watching her get beat of the dribble.

 

[87&91ALUM]

A lot of coaching required at half time.

I know Caldwell doesn't like to call timeouts, but this drive the court and heave up a garbage shot needs to stop.

 

[VolBall09]

Perplexing that Memphis is on the verge of scoring 40 points not even halftime.

Considering they got their best player available for this game it makes sense. Hagemann is a really talented player. Changes the entire complexion of their offense.

 

[VolBalls33]

Sloth needs to be on the bench, Tess was WIDE open for a 3 so she up and unders for an airball?

 

[87&91ALUM]

35-39

 

[87&91ALUM]

37-41

 

[87&91ALUM]

DEFENSE

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice three! 40-41

 

[OJJ]

Sick of them getting a whistle almost every other possession

 

[VolBall09]

And another travel where we were called for a foul. Just call it Jesus.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Cmon ref

 

[ttharp]

Both Coop and Ruby with 2. Not good.

 

[SGMVols]

Careful now, we definitely lost some really bad ones under both of them.

This is also a completely different team with their PG now available.

This would be the worst loss in program history. At least since WBB became a NCAA sport. I can’t think of a worse team that’s beaten us in my lifetime.

Love seeing Spear play this well. About the only good thing to say so far!

 

[LVol]

Refs letting blue team get by with a bit

 

[87&91ALUM]

42-41

 

[SGMVols]

Boyd isn’t going to make it here. The Pauldos will both play over her next year

 

[volforlife10]

Refs letting blue team get by with a bit

yeah i dont get it. the first half they didn’t blow the whistle and then in the second half it was whistle after whistle on one side.

 

[1morevol]

We're fighting against the zebras.. They've got more points from the line in the dew from the floor

Hey, Coach, do we get to make halftime adjustments on our score predictions?

 

[Volfan2012]

Thought Haggemann would make a difference, but not this much. Tough game they are shooting it well and Refs thinks everything is a foul.

 

[RespectAPA]

Puckett misses a wild shot and then gets beat for a layup

She's the worst player in the starting 10 in this system. I think she'd be helped a lot by being a late game backup than trying to get 15-20 minutes out of her.

 

[VolBall09]

Couldn’t have played any worse and still have a lead. Most of the time I’d be very stressed but truly, could not have shot worse and Memphis played their best half of basketball of the season.

Unlikely we finish that poorly in the second half.

Officials have to call the travels on Memphis. I’ve counted 6-7 uncalled so far. It’s ridiculous.

 

[LVol]

Well I like that final shot play better than last years dribble dribble play
