Go Lady Vols!!

We owe Bama one for sure, got to want it. We need a different level of defense from our guards in this one.

This game is huge as far as the perception of our season. Get the lick back, get back to the semis, get a bit higher seed in the NCAA. Might as well make a hopeful prediction

LVs 74-67

LVs78--AL 62. GBO.

I’m glad we’ve already played a game because this team can look downright sleepy on the court sometimes. Hoping the clicking we saw in the second half of yesterday’s game carries over and that we stay out of foul trouble. Winning this would be really nice.

Pressure cooker of a game. Rickea shows up and shows out.

C'MON LADIES!! Beat bammer!! (I loved the bama girl's cap at the UT Men's W @ Coleman); "I HATE TENNESSEE" lol. Big Orange in their heads!

 

[ttharp]

I hope Rickea lets the game come to her today. She can’t lower her shoulder when driving to the basket. It’s gonna be a charge every time.

If I’m Kellie, I’m drawing up a 1st possession play for Sara Puckett to see if she still has her mojo. Don’t completely go away from her unless other players are cooking.

Expecting to see a great game!

 

[Volfan2012]

Puckett, Spear need to be on the three today. If they are Rickea will make them pay inside. They can't double her if they are scoring on their shots.

I too believe Rickea shows up and shows out. I see a double double--25 pts and 12 rebs. LVs go get'em. GBO.

 

[Vols2015]

I hope to see our bigs down low with better hands and being more mindful of just going straight up with a layup when they catch the ball or get an offensive rebound. Rickea needs to not get into any foul trouble and play smart and let the game come to her. Puckett, let’s hope she keeps it up. Darby a few spot up 3s, and Spear some big threes and jump shots. We don’t need Powell to be a scorer, but first be a facilitator. If the opportunity comes, then she can shoot, but please don’t force it. Defense is going to be huge today.

TN: 74
AL: 64

Wearing Summit blue today. Rickea and Kaiya just came out to watch this game

 

[Ladyvol777]

Today is Tennessee day, Tennessee 82-64. As always go Lady Vol’s way.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Hope we had extended bunny practice...... TOOOOO many misses yesterday. Evidently it was in the air for teams from Tennessee, as Vandy must have missed a billion as well.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Go Spear!

 

[Vols2015]

Nice buckets by Spear and Puckett to start the game.

 

[Vols2015]

Finally Powell with a bucket

 

[Vols2015]

Nice feed by Puckett for a Key layup.

 

[Vols2015]

Jackson nice turnaround jumper.

 

[Vols2015]

All Key should’ve done on that was go straight up. She keeps bringing the ball down.

 

[VolBall09]

Perimeter defense has to be better. Can’t leave anyone from Bama open from the 3.

 

[JCP201]

Everyone contributing so far

 

[th2421]

Perimeter defense has to be better. Can’t leave anyone from Bama open from the 3.

Agreed. We do look pretty confident on offense.

 

[SGMVols]

A double miss at the FT line is functionally the same as a turnover.
