Oklahoma State vs. Tennessee - Box Score - November 27, 2021 - ESPN

Got to see it through Flo Sports and well that is only half way seeing it.

 

[Volfan2012]

Starters just 11 turnovers bench had 12 turnovers.

Jeez, is it really necessary to be so darn harsh?

Yes this was after back to back “what the heck is that” plays seems like the bench are not a cohesive unit at all

 

[Volfan2012]

Outrebounded them 49 to 21 I knew we were pounding them didn't realize it was that bad.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

But yes hopefully the bench learns from their minutes on the court together in the 4th quarter

Ya THINK? Exactly when do you think they've had a chance to become a cohesive unit? In practice the main focus is to make the primary players into a cohesive unit as those players typically battle against male practice players. That last group out there aren't going to be able to look like players who know each other like the backs of their own hands.

EXACTLY!!!! People giving critiques on them like they're pros or something.

did emily get a late start playing basketball i thinking she was in high school.

Darby made 5 of 10 from the three in these two Vegas games maybe she likes this gym. Made two at UCF. I don't think she has made one at Thompson Boling.

wanted 50 rebounds we had a streak to uphold

49 rebounds to 21. Huge. And look at opponent shooting %'s - that's called good defense by us. Same old formula. Our shooting was much improved, and that's why the larger margin of victory.

We want see that lineup unless were 30 ahead like this game. Our real bench is Puckett, Green, and Miles. Maybe three or four minutes for Wynn and Striplin if not a real close game.

Interesting observation. Wonder if she practices shooting threes in TBA?

We need to develop Wynn and Striplin as soon as we can. I'd like for Kellie to find them a lot of minutes whenever it won't hurt us.

All she needs is confidence

That actually makes a lot of sense. Sometimes it can be difficult to shoot in a large gymnasium if you're used to shooting in a smaller one. If Tess almost always practices shooting in Pratt, she may need to get more shooting in at TBA.

I see no reason they couldn't play a four minute stretch with four of the starters at different times not both in at once. Both seem to be talented players just a lot of nerves right now haven't played much. Puckett looked a little like they do in the beginning, but she has now played enough and is getting aggressive in her play.

We had 52 rebounds. Stats aren’t correct online. Dominated the boards 52-26. Best game of the season by far. Let’s bring on TTU.

The live stats have efficiency and Horston in with a 35 and Key 32 that is awesome. Dye in huge at 22 and Darby with 19 with a 15 being average we had four players above average and two would rate superstars on the efficiency chart.

Don’t you know what else we can celebrate…….no more games being broadcast on FloSports y’all

That calls for a huge celebration and I hope they go broke before next season. What a terrible way to watch a game.

LVs got 52 rebounds. Great job on the boards. Best game of this young season. Reduce the TOs and the LVs will be hard to be beaten by anyone. GBO.

love that stat... the bench turnovers will hopefully go down with more playing time.

she will in one of next two in knoxville

Overall a great game bummed Jordan didn’t get her triple double but we finally broke 70 points in regulation

Agreed. I thought she would get a triple double but she did not play much in the fourth quarter. She had a stellar game.
