Game Thread: (25/RV) Lady Vols vs. (3/5) Connecticut

[VA_VOLFAN]

This is why Coach Kellie played our bench early in the season. They stepped up big time with Rennia and Jordan in foul trouble. Everyone just did their job and didn’t try and be a hero. Hopefully, we come out with this same energy in the 2nd half.

$alary needs to shoot more!

 

[creekdipper]

Salary needs to set a John Stockton pick on Scrawny and lay her out. Freshman to freshman.

And then say, "Welcome to the Summitt, Rook."

 

[Voluble2]

They might talk to Kellie coming out of halftime.

Please no more careless fouls by Davis or Horston. They are too important.

This has been an entertaining game!

It has, surprisingly so. So important for the program. Be fun to watch again, and against good teams. Can we do it two consecutive halves?

Huge minutes from Walker and Salary. Obviously Key with the half of her life. Need Horston and Davis to come back in rhythm.

What can you say about Rae? Another on fire offensive half, notwithstanding a couple of forced messes. Also, what a job she did on Paige after Horston went out. Could be wrong, but I think she played every min. Great national tv showcase for her.

Geno grumpy as an old bear in halftime interview. Says they can't shoot and aren't going to get taller at halftime. He is not wrong.

What a show to show up on the national stage! The LV way.

Hopefully the ladies and coaching staff are remembering the third quarter collapse last season against UConn.

$alary needs to shoot more!

Yes she does

hey undertaker fix your mic

Reason I can’t stand Lobo: we played a great first half IMO. Took a lead into the locker room with our #2 and #3 players on the pine. Not ONE single complement.

She’s completely incapable of just being fun and impartial while calling the game.

 

[glv98]

We've hit 5-10 threes and only have 6 t.o.s at halftime. That is always a formula for success for us.

Outrebounding them 24-19. Somewhere Pat is smiling down. She's love this sh*t and wouldn't want Geno any other way than snarky and cynical at halftime.

about what?

Eerily similar to last year's game at the half. Turnovers doomed Tennessee in that one. If they can avoid the turnovers in the second half, they can take their shot at the crown. UConn will probably shoot better, but Tennessee can influence how much that hurts them by playing - gasp - good defense and protecting the ball.

 

[creekdipper]

Announcers slobbering over Ucan't and making excuses for the #2 team being behind #25.

Pardon my French but, why must he be such an insufferable pr!ck?

Lord I hope we learned our lesson

Hopefully, Rae and Key can have a second half similar to their first half.
Don't want a repeat of last year's game. Though I have a feeling it might.

 

[Memvol44]

about what?

About the game at hand. Like they did Geno..

 

[Voltopia]

Lord I hope we learned out lesson

Me too. Beating UConn tonight wouldn't be the same as winning the Powerball, but it would be like a match 5 or thereabouts.

 

[Nute Gunray]

I hope Davis and Horston score a minimum of 30 points in the 2nd half. They scored 2 points in the first half.

 

[TN1111]

We were leading 31-28 @ half last year and then only scored 14 more points the rest of the game.

This can't be a good going halftime speech because I guarantee you Geno is tearing his team's ass right now. They will come out a different team in the 2nd half.

We can't settle for one good half this time.

 

[creekdipper]

It's in the blood.

Seriously, it's the sign of an inferiority complex. Or little man syndrome.

Regardless, he's just being true to his nature.

Ah. thanks!

They only deserved 1 each other one was bogus.

 

[Voluble2]

They were a combined 1 for 9 so we got more efficient production when they were out.

Everyone but Walker shot better.
