Oh brother. The defense is terrible

 

[NoBackBoard]

Just take advantage of our size inside and win the game. Let’s not complicate this!

 

[VolBall09]

Put Karo in

 

[travis929]

Phew that alley-oop from Powell to Rickea!

 

[ttharp]

We have the size advantage. Make them score OVER you.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Good assist Powell to Rickea for quick 2!

 

[travis929]

Put Karo in

Coaches heard you!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara 3 to tie!

 

[SGMVols]

This is atrocious defense. GB getting wide open threes every trip

 

[Volstylexx]

Lighting us up from three. Better make some defensive adjustments

 

[Vols2015]

We know they can shoot the 3. All of their three makes have been wide open. Why are we not playing man-to-man?

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Gotta guard their 3 point shooting!

 

[VolBall09]

We have to get a stop, not playing tight enough on the perimeter and not matching up in transition. You cannot let them set and catch in transition. Too good for that. Transition 3s are the ONLY way this team can beat us and that’s exactly what we are giving them.

 

[Vfl2407]

All they have is outside shooting. Do not collapse back into the lane. Dare them to go inside. Hands in all faces on 3 point shots.

 

[volnationnj]

Both teams shooting lights out. That won't continue.

 

[ttharp]

What an underwhelming pre game team message: “you used to suck bad, but now you suck less” that will fire them up!

It was so bad.

 

[VolBall09]

Even if we’re gonna get back in a zone you have to match up with someone first. You can’t just run to your spot like a dumb dumb this isn’t 6th grade basketball.

 

[VolBall09]

What an underwhelming pre game team message: “you used to suck bad, but now you suck less” that will fire them up!

You’re not the only one that found that underwhelming. WTF?

She didn’t sound convinced either.

 

[Volstylexx]

We know they can shoot the 3. All of their three makes have been wide open. Why are we not playing man-to-man?

Good at wheel of fortune ?

C _ A _ H _ _ G

Going to need some good in game adjustments to shut that down. They’re not going to beat us inside, so why not shut down the perimeter and force them inside?

 

[RAVOL]

Wow Green Bay shooting lights out. Can they keep it up as they will struggle to stop US as we can easily shoot over D. I hate it when ref calls that crap call on Key all she did is turn and go up and player flopped. So tired of official taking away advantage.

 

[VolBall09]

So far we are content trading shots which is how I thought this might start.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

What an underwhelming pre game team message: “you used to suck bad, but now you suck less” that will fire them up!

I always knew she couldn’t give motivational speeches, it’s always good when a coach can fire u up.

 

[Vols2015]

Puckett block!

 

[VolBall09]

Finally, a stop!!!!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara with a block!
