Game Thread Lady Vols vs Notre Dame

[Freak]

Notre Dame is playing better basketball and we've lost our energy and our edge.

 

[armchair]

GET the ball to Russell when she establishes good low position. Good freakin' grief.

 

[TN1111]

Embarrassing... Afraid TN is on the way down with this staff. Sadly TN's best days are probably in the past. Too much talent for this to keep happening.

ruessell needs to work on that free throw shots for sure

 

[SGMVols]

Mercedes Russell has to be the worst FT shooter in college basketball history.

 

[YankeeVol]

Question. What's Holly's biggest win?

Does she have one?

 

[Sandvol]

Get Simmons out.

 

[governmentmule]

and the turnovers are mounting

 

[WVU05UT09]

That stuff on Simmons should be on her highlight reel for the year.

 

[Bodeydad]

How are they getting open threes? Can we not play man? Way to go Simmons.

 

[Freak]

Does she have one?

I guess that's my question. Does she?

 

[armchair]

Smarter coach and smarter team. Better adjustments at half. No adjustments by us.

the play of our guards has fallen apart--and that is usually our problem.

 

[Voluble2]

Where is GRAVES? Why is Russell playing so much? And why are we not getting the ball to Russell? Our advantage is INSIDE. Also, we do not handle adversity well--we get panicky and UT's bad instincts and bad decisions take over.

Graves couldn't even make her layups earlier. Still looks hurt.

All we do is panic. We are frontrunners. Anytime things go against us we panic. Then we rally once the game is out of reach.

The crowd just sat the whole game waiting for us to fold. No excitement even when we had the lead because we know what we have in this bunch.

 

[1985Vols]

Lots of standing around on offense Until LV's get a real coach, this is what you're going to get.

 

[Freak]

This can't be the same team as the one from the first half.

 

[governmentmule]

if it was a great defensive play for the turnovers ,i wouldn't mind,it pisses me off that it is poor passing,like there not seeing where the defender is

 

[Sandvol]

I guess that's my question. Does she?

I don't think she has a top 10 win much less a top 5. The highest ranked team she has beaten I believe is like a 15-20 maybe.

 

[armchair]

ND has cranked up their intensity and we can't handle it. Pound the ball inside, Warlick.

 

[YankeeVol]

I guess that's my question. Does she?

I can't remember one

 

[gule]

piss poor online fans too... looks like

 

[governmentmule]

This can't be the same team as the one from the first half.

this year,it worries me win they get off to a good start in the first half,because they usually don't have a good 2nd half

 

[Voluble2]

I can't remember the last TN team that played smart and with confidence. Pat didn't have one either for years towards the end.

Panicky is our brand of basketball.

 

[Sandvol]

the play of our guards has fallen apart--and that is usually our problem.

Simmons gets the rest of the guards out of rhythm.

 

[governmentmule]

and can't make a shot close to the basket

 

[Freak]

Has Massengale hit a shot this half? Ugh.
