Game Thread: (7/9) Lady Vols 63 - (3/3) Stanford 74

[lvocd]

Lexie Hull needs to be a defensive focus. IMO, she was one of the big reasons they beat SC in the FF. She's a big, athletic, strong guard who can score inside and out, and crashes the boards. She's the kind of hard nosed player that Pat would have loved on her team.

I agree. Lexie is one of my favorite players. She can be relentless on both ends, and if the Lady Vols hesitate for even a nanosecond before making a move to getat a loose ball, it'll be too late. I'm more worried about Hull than anyone else because this is the type of game she excels in.

I believe if the Lady Vols keep it pretty close without any really ugly meltdowns, they could lose and not take a big a hit in the area of perception. A team can still pass “the eye test” even in a losing effort. Sure would be better to pass that eye test in the best win of this young season, though!

case in point, Stanford,,,,two losses and still top five

In the last 30 years Stanford has never failed my eye test. They may lose games, but they never embarrass themselves.

exactly,,,and BB is a "what have you done for me lately", sport...and in recent years, Stanford has not embarrassed them for believing in them.

This game will go a very long way in mending our Dr J/Mr H reputation. We heen to be Dr Jekyll and stay Dr J.!

FG% is much better at 43%.

You know your offense sucks when 43% is "much better"...

 

[Volfaninfl2]

In their game tonight, Stanford shot 43% fg, 34% from 3 point range, and 62% free throws.

 

[Lucy]

Wow! Long benches!
Sanford played 14 and UC played 13.

Not to nitpick but they were 172-407 the last 6 games. 42.2.

The increase was due to two high percentage games. Oklahoma State and Tennessee Tech. They were 29-58 and 34-71 against Tennessee Tech. 48.8%.

The last two games against Virginia Tech and Georgia State they were 27-62 and 29-74. That’s 56-136. 41.1%. Right about where they are for the season at 40.9%.

You are a fight pickin', pot stirrin' troll who definitely intends to nit pick just to start something in our game thread. Why is it any of your business? Go follow your UConn team and leave us alone.

Their offense must stink as well since they only shot 43%. Maybe some dumba$$ troll will come and correct it to 42.63258799%

Fine Barf. You can just shut up now since you are not going to contribute anything meaningful.

43.1

Were you not able to comprehend that last sentence troll?

 

[Rickster]

43.1

…..and there you are

I’m going to predict Lady Vols with win number 10!

Lady Vols: 72
Stanford: 60

 

[J-Dog 1313]

I’m going to predict Lady Vols with win number 10!

Lady Vols: 72
Stanford: 60

LVs 75--Stanford 64.

Hope that’s right because it will mean Stanford missed a bunch of shots or turned the ball over.

 

[Volfan2012]

Not confident that either team will score 70 looking more like Tennessee 63 Stanford 58. If Stanford scores more than 65 were probably in trouble unless it is an overtime game. I feel like were going to win another close one with the last three or four possessions deciding the game.

 

[Rooster1]

LVs 75--Stanford 64.

Most likely scenario for a UT win (IMO) would be a lower scoring game, probably need to keep Stanford at 60 or less. If UT wins, I think it would be something like 60-57 type game.


edit: apologies to Volfan2012...just saw his post above and I basically repeated.

 

[Vols2015]

If both Texas and USF defeated Stanford, 2 teams we defeated, I don’t see why we can’t win this one too.

 

[Amb3096]

Tennessee is averaging 67.3 ppg, with 3 games against ranked teams and 6 against average to weak teams. I don't think it's likely they'll be cracking 70, unless it's in OT. They probably won't hit their average scoring, so if they're going to win, they need to do it in a low scoring game and really clamp down on Stanford's offense.

 

[Amb3096]

Because transitive property works in mathematics, not sports matchups.

USF beat Stanford. UT Arlington beat USF. Does that mean UT Arlington would then beat Stanford. I don't think so.

 

[Rickster]

The LVs have a really good chance of pulling out a win if they defend well and shoot their average of the last six games. I do expect the game winner to score in the high 60s or low 70s unless one team folds in the 4Q like another team we know
