Game Thread: (16/12) Lady Vols 74 - (12/21) Texas 70

[VA_VOLFAN]

Figured out a way to stop their scoring. Very good job.

and actually SCORE ourselves in pressure situations

 

[Memvol44]

Let me be the first to say this did not age well. Which coach is which?

Just kidding, I think Vic is a great coach and I thought Texas would be better. But this was a landmark win for KJH

Also, I hope Texas goes undefeated the rest of the year. Hell of a seeding win for us!

One of many!!!

Def not a miracle win. Their grit determined this win. While it wasn't pretty it counts against a team that moved from #25 to #12... Now texas can go out and win your conference and boost our ratings

Their win over Stanford is already big for them and for us. If Stanford goes on to win the PAC-12 and Texas wins the big 12 it’s massive.

42.2% Field goal percentage 44.4% from 3, 66.7 free throw percentage. Hit the free throws and the game is out of reach before overtime. The secretary of the defense (Vic Shaefer) got schooled by the Tennessee defense. Held Texas to 31.3% field goal percentage today! Really good win!

I'm not going to go back and read this thread because I already know the drill. Lots of drive-bys to say how awful the players are, how Kellie can't coach, how we're going to get blown out if we don't get it together, etc.

Then we get it together, win the game, and suddenly Kellie got lucky to win and she only did because Texas was missing -------- (fill in the blank), and Tennessee wouldn't have won if that ref hadn't blown some call, etc.

AMIRIGHT???

GREAT win for OUR Tennessee Lady Vols!!!!! And if you were one of those people I described above, I feel sorry for you.

GO LADY VOLS!!!!!

 

[J-Dog 1313]

Simply put, this is a game Kellie needs to win in year 3....

And she did. Way to go Lady Vols.

With all due respect to Horston and Key, let's not forget Walker's shooting single-handedly kept us in the game for the first 1 1/2 quarters or so.

 

[Volfan2012]

WE have beat four teams that will win at least 70 to 75 games this season. We already should be at the top of the NET wins over two ranked teams.

 

[I4Vols]

we're awful and our conditioning is non existent. pat would run these players into the ground.

Yup?

 

[Real Info]

Go Lady Vols!!! Defense does it again, plus we grew a little offensively.

 

[I4Vols]

lol we're awful.

Yup?

Dye had 13 as well made some huge free throws this was a team win several players contributed during the game. Horston was again the main even, but she had some assistance.

 

[VolBall09]

Awesome to have a great crowd on hand for an exciting game and big win. Great advertising!!

No, not really. Of course, as always there's a few like you describe, but mostly we talk about what just happened and what our team needs to do and stop doing. Yep we call out bad play. Is that unlike any game thread on any board in any sport?

 

[J-Dog 1313]

Key will need to step up in this game. Of course the real Key(pun intended) will be turnovers.

And TK stepped up. Great game TK and the rest of the Lady Vols.

If your standard is Pat then you will be disappointed forever. She was a once in a lifetime.

LOL he/she somewhere very angry right now

 

[alexvol]

and actually SCORE ourselves in pressure situations

It was Coach Harper switching to a 2-1-2 defense in 4th quarter that really paved the way for this win.....

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

lol we're awful.

True!!!

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

It was Coach Harper switching to a 2-1-2 defense in 4th quarter that really paved the way for this win.....

and Jordan horston having confidence to hit that 3 point shot !

I heard they sold out of hot dogs & popcorn today.

 

[Volfan2012]

I like the foursome of Key, Horston, Burrell, and Dye I think we'll see the offense get a lot better just as soon as Burrell returns.

 

[VolBall09]

You stick Rae’s 18 points and 8 rebounds in there and this is a 95-70 victory. I know it’s hypothetical, but the thought is tempting.
