BTW: A LadyVol scouting opportunity tonight

WFFL said:
The defensive matchups is not what im referencing. More so 2 best players/scorers versus OSU's two best scorers/players. Tennessee has more of a supporting cast in case those 2 dont show up . Ohio state HAS to have Sheldon / Miksell show up tonight to even have a chance. Braxton Miller won't be the guard in charge of scoring this year so Miksell being a 10 year senior will need to come to play tonight consistently .

But if Harris is on either one of them, that could impact their ability to score. She's good at frustrating players and drawing charges. I'm not sure how that couldn't be a factor in this game.
 
I guess my point is this Tennessee team needs time to gel and work the kinks out. They have all these new players coming in and their roles aren’t really defined yet. Ohio State is not the team you want to start the season out with under this scenario.

I guess you forgot the first game against southern Illinois where they dang near got beat. It should have never been that close. Also how about those unranked losses to auburn(yuck!) bama, Florida and they still had horsten and key in the lineup. Remember lady vol fans thinks key and horston see sure fire first round draft picks. Forgive me if I am still a bit apprehensive lol

Dang near got beat in the first game that they won and then went on to go 18-1 from being #25 to ranked #4 in the nation ...We forgot that too right ?

This could be said for literally every team in women's college basketball today lol ...literally its game 1 who do you think has gelled right now ? LOL
 
41 33 Tenn at half. The game is a little sloppy as to be expected with a first game. Don't love the lineups from Tennessee i.e no bigs or no Jackson or Horston, but foul trouble could be the reason.

Surprised that TN is so shaky against the press. Guards are experienced and they have height. I expected sloppy, but this is a bit much.

Foul trouble is the reason. Jackson and Key with 2 each.

OSU has no answer for Horston...nearly a double-double in the first half. Unfortunately, also flirting with a bad triple double at this clip.

Tennessee's length and athleticism is throttling OSU's offense. If not for the turnovers...
 
Horston looking at triple double. 13 pts, 11 reb 6 TO's with 3' left in 3Q but she looks so lean and athletic.

How to be a TN fan with 6 Assists and 23 TO's :confused:

Mikasell Heating up. A little Azzi flair. with 2 rapid fire 3's

63-54 after 3Q. TN better rethink this basketball thing.

My bad I see y they probably need 2 guards out there, especially against the osu pressure. Need Jackson to step up and bigs to be more impactful. OSU up 8 with Sheldon kinda off

Wait they are using a pumpkin vomit colored ball?
 
Jacy Sheldon does a lot of good things on the basketball court

Or schedule more division II opponents. I’ve heard they’re quite good against division II opponents.

Ohio state will press and try to force turnovers like Louisville was able to do in their sweet 16 game. Key may not even be a factor, she certainly was ineffective against Louisville and this Ohio State team is just as good as that Louisville team was last year. Let’s see if Tennessee can hold on to the ball and not make silly mistakes.

Well this was prophetic. I tip my hat to you, sir or madam!
 
Oh Oh. Are TN's dropsies catching? Not a good stretch closing out
 
Where are the freshman Pissott and Stripllin? Were there some injuries?

If you’re going to go down to Ohio State despite a massive size advantage you’d prefer it to be because Mikesell and Sheldon shot the lights out.

Didn’t really happen and yet this wasn’t particularly competitive after 25 minutes.

Tennessee has as much talent as a team could hope for but the cohesion and fundamentals have a ways to go.
 
TN is super talented but turnovers have plagued them for years and it appears that issue isn't close to being fixed. If they don't clean that up, its going to be rough going this year at times no matter the talent.

I put this more on Harper, the talent and depth is there. No adjustments whatsoever.
 
Harper won’t win COY coaching like this.

29 Turnovers. At one point, they had more turnovers in the third quarter than shot attempts. Ohio State was putting pressure on, but I didn't think it was that onerous. Whew.

At one point, they had like 5 possessions in a row where they couldn't get the ball past mid-court under the time limit. I've seen sloppy games but that period was super bad.
