NCAA Game Thread: (1) Texas vs (5) Lady Vols

[Go47]

Brick fest from 3. Live by the 3 and die by the 3. The game will come down to how we shoot the 3 ball in the second half.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Now come out intense on defense and hit some shots and Texas can be had!!

 

[TN1111]

Great shot Whitehorn!!

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Comeon Kim make some adjustments at the half.

 

[ttharp]

Sam. Sister. Got away with a travel, but we’ll take what we can get.

Fortunate to only be down 4.

 

[Decker Moss]

To play as poorly as we did and only be down by 4 is astonishing. We can still do this

 

[knoxvol52]

Down 4 after a pretty sloppy half. I will take it...

 

[volforlife10]

The worst we have looked on Offense for sure this tournament. Poise ladies keep your composure. You are right in this game. Get a stop and score

texas is elite on defense. that’s the difference.

 

[VolBall09]

Hey, 4 point game, great execution on the last play. Ruby came to play today.

We can do this! If we hit our usual percentage of threes in the second half they can’t keep up with us. Gotta start making them trade twos for threes.

 

[sechamp2012]

Feel pretty good just down 4 if we can start hitting open 3s we bring a W

 

[Vol737]

Might be flop of the century

Idk…I think Gaulden still owns that title!

 

[Voltopia]

If they don't call that flop, Tennessee scores, it's a one possession game at the half. Just have to find the range in the second and keep pressing Texas. Tennessee dictated the pace. That's great. Just keep doing that and bring the hustle.

 

[therealitytheory]

The thing that impresses me the most is the gross ineptitude of this officiating.

 

[volforlife10]

also, hollingshed gets shoved to the ground by oldacre and no call. LOL

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

We are okay ! A few more runs expected the 2nd half but think it will be another close ending !!

 

[VolBall09]

texas is elite on defense. that’s the difference.

Yes, elite indeed, making it really tough for us, not getting anything off the pass and isolating the right players on the perimeter and baiting our poorer shooters into shooting.

Spencer and Spear have to get going from the outside. If Sarah or Tess could hit one that would be a bonus.

 

[Voltopia]

She was shoving Hollingshed left and right - nothing. Nada. Pushed her over with extension - nothing.

BTW, I don't think Hollingshead flopped underneath Texas' basket...

 

[Voluble2]

They let TX trip Spear on that last possession.

And Hollingshead got pushed into the cheap seats at the other end before that.

It is like these officials have never even watched a basketball game before.

We just have to come out and inflict our will on them in the second half. They are letting certain players have open looks from the outside while denying and playing tight on our shooters. We have to drive and gang crash the boards. And the press has to be more active.

Brick fest from 3. Live by the 3 and die by the 3. The game will come down to how we shoot the 3 ball in the second half.

Spear and Darby don’t help other than making threes. They need to make some or not be out there. We also need Cooper, Latham, Whitehorn and Spearman to offensive rebound.

 

[RAVOL]

Could've been much worse with how poorly we shot. I'll take being down only 4

Agree with the way we shot this half. But our all out hustle is why we are in this game. Difference so far Harmon and other Guard have played really well. Watch the Refs will come out and blow whistle every touch . In CHRIST Alone

 

[I4Vols]

The thing that impresses me the most is the gross ineptitude of this officiating.

Yes, both ways. Almost makes SEC Women's officials look good.

But, what if we had a crew that called everything a foul? Maybe happens in 2H?

What thread did you come from

 

[RAVOL]

texas is elite on defense. that’s the difference.

Texas is good no doubt but we have had open shots from Deep. Spear and Tess 0-5 on open 3's . When you get open shots against this team plus Spencer 0-4 at line you have to have 8 points from that 2-3's 2 FT'S.

 

[PalmettoStateVol]

There refs are sooooooo bad. The inconsistency is killing me! One trip down the court you could probably rip someone's arm off and beat them with it and they wouldn't think about calling a foul. The next time down the court, someone barely gets breathed on and not only is it a foul, they're looking to upgrade it to flagrant.....
