Please sit Rickea down.

SERIOUSLY

 

[Tennessee12]

UMASS has been getting away with foulssss all night.

 

[volforlife10]

you all are also forgetting we’re missing our best player. idc what anyone says, horston is our most solid player.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea has an unbelievable leap.

 

[Ovol]

Ugly. But I am putting this on the coaches shoulders. Too many running in and out, playing too many mixed lineups.

 

[lfvol]

Please sit Rickea down.

Let someone else finish the game in her place.

She can rebound They needed her without Horsten.

Well, Tennessee had more points than UMass at the end, so … kinda?

 

[Volfaninfl2]

All right, good game. This feels much better.

 

[Volfan2012]

We won all that matters, but wow we definitely need a lot or work on passing and rebounding.

Now you get Indiana on Monday — a game that could get really ugly if Kellie doesn’t settle on a lineup.

Hoping Jordy is okay!

 

[Coach Jumper]

powell 7 asst 2 to's

 

[teacherdean]

If the Lady Vols play this way against Indiana, they are going to get best. We need consistency and a basic set line up. I pray that Horston is okay.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Horston was having a rough game before she went out. They had a 19 pt lead with 8 to go in the fourth and they almost blew it. Even without Jordan they built that lead the talent is there but the mentals are not. Kellie please find you some offensive sets and this team some defense.

Yed

Honestly if we would stick with our starting 5 majority of the game, we would win big. too much subbing to get an offensive flow.

 

[Vols2015]

What happened to Jordan Horston? Can’t watch games, and her stats are really low on shots, points, assists, etc.

 

[Lurker]

Hurt

went out in second quarter with injury

 

[Volfan2012]

The best lineup we had out there tonight was Key, Jackson, Miles, Powell, and Franklin. They clicked better than any other five and were the reason we got enough of a lead to win the game.

 

[Fatoldman]

a lot of you guys are reading the name UMass and assuming it’s a bad team. UMass is a VERY SOLID team this year.

Agree. The disrespect we show to very good teams, ohio State and UMass indicates arrogance and ignorance.

At the very least, don't take out a lineup that is rolling until you have to.

Absolutely correct ....led by 19 points with seven minutes to go and she substituted a whole new lineup and the lead was cut to seven in about three minutes.

With good coaching from this staff this team will find out that one-on -one does not turn out well against a zone most of the time....maybe 5 years will maybe bring that point home with this staff's good coaching.
