GAME THREAD: @ LSU, Thursday, 6 pm EST, ESPN

[knoxvol52]

Is it possible, just possible, that Tennessee gets called for more fouls than their opponents because of the way they play, rather than a league wide conspiracy against the LV's ?

Dont change the Narrative, its against the rules...

 

[LadyVolsDiehard]

I don't want to jinx, but they are playing well together. Team meeting helped.

We are but giving up 40+ to an opposing team doesn't suit us well in the 2nd half.

 

[lfvol]

Darby was a turtle and found a role. I'm sure Hurst will find hers. Some of you always looking to dig at players and coaches.

Probably will is she can make shots. In this game it’s a problem like many games were for Darby particularly against athletics teams.

 

[Vols14!]

Let's go Lady Vols!

 

[glv98]

Actually thought our Q1 defense was pretty good. Took some wild shots unnecessarily but good half overall.

What? They got to the rim at will the whole half. Exactly like on that last bucket

 

[I4Vols]

Another game where we have given up 40+ before half, UGH.
Cmon Lady Vols do better with the shot selection and trust each other.

You do realize LSU has scored 80 or more in 22 games...
Let's give the LV's credit scoring 40+ in half, esp when looking at the fact that only 5 SEC teams scored 70+ in a game

Everyone except Barker if she could get 14 2nd half be good

 

[CannonVol80]

In the car, has there really been two no contact fouls on us and multiple hard contact no calls as supported by replay as per

Jim

FJ is 1-3

This crap is getting ridiculous. LSU just got a series of reallly bad calls

I don't know that I would call them "really bad", but I admit that I commented on one foul called on, I believe it was Fulwiley, that I didn't see a foul there. I do know that, for a long stretch in the first half, Lady Vol players were driving in to a group of three LSU players, all of whom were slapping at the ball (and player) with nothing called and then on the other end of the court fouls were called with little contact on at least four possessions successively. I also know that, until the last four minutes of the half, the foul count was 11-3 in LSU's favor. And, again, in the last four minutes of the half, three fouls were called on LSU (one of which I thought was unwarranted). Were those make-up calls? That, I don't know. My complaint generally is not that the referees are intentionally favoring one team or the other, but that they are embarrassingly inconsistent, which, unfortunately, affects the quality of play as the players attempt to adjust to the calls that are being made.

If you do not see that the game is not being called the same on both ends of the court you are not watching the same game I am ....

The effort in half court was far better than most of the year.

 

[glv98]

FJ got the free throw yips

Good to see Mia playing well

 

[glv98]

If you do not see that the game is not being called the same on both ends of the court you are not watching the same game I am ....

Maybe not with the same mindset you are

 

[knoxvol52]

I see BOTH teams getting away with committing fouls. Maybe watch both ends of damn court instead of the offensive end.. now carry on with the complaints.

 

[glv98]

The effort in half court was far better than most of the year.

Then we’re in huge trouble bc they’ve waltzed to the rim unimpeded.

We’ve shot so much better lately. That’s why we’re keeping it close

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I don’t think there is enough evidence to overturn the call

 

[brittannica]

Has Kaniya been in at all?

 

[alexvol]

Yiu need to go to an eye Doctor pronto .......

 

[Chipperbones]

Mia hit the three and now she is out? Mya going in? Can she not play more than a minute and a half?
Haven’t seen Boyd at all.

 

[brittannica]

Mya is not it. I do not enjoy watching her cry over fouls and turnovers. She needs more resilience to play at this level.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

This would be a really great time to break the third quarter curse.

 

[Voltopia]

Critical juncture right here. This is often where leads balloon into insurmountable numbers for Tennessee to overcome.

 

[glv98]

Exclude Coop fm the improved shooting. Shes 3-14

 

[VOLINVONORE]

That is 3-4 times we have had throw up a prayer.

 

[glv98]

Stop the ball to the rim maybe once?

 

[VolFanGBO]

Here it comes
