Tennessee vs South Carolina - 3/02/18

[Purduke]

You are just wrong.

Tie game. Shot clock off. UConn has ball.
You are supposed to hold for the last shot. UConn didnt. As a result the other team won.

That was a pretty dumb play.

No, not really. You also get constant conflicting instructions in that situation. Be aggressive; get a good shot; who is going to make a play. What was Geno harping about in practice on the HBO special that very week regarding taking the last shot. "None of you girls look like you want the last shot. You're afraid of making a mistake." Not a pure, only one way to play the situation.

What exactly is the competing instruction for and in-bounds play when there is one sec on the clock? Consider a Dribble? Maybe make a pass? Set up the offense? No. Mental failure; no other way to play that situation.

I wonder what the plus/minus is for when Wilson is on the floor vs not.

Carolinas guards are 0 for 15 so far into 4th quarter. Hard to win a game that way!

 

[Vowelguy]

TN down with an 8 count.

Carolina by 16 with 8 to play. A guard just hit their first shot of game, a three.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Russell in the WNBA draft

 

[DefenseBB]

Pam Ward and the former Duke/Texas coach (Goes... something that I can't spell)

Gail “I failed miserably at Texas”Goestekors...

I wouldn't go anywhere near Russell in the WNBA draft

Even when she plays well, it's always been clear that she was fairly slow which was gonna be a big WNBA issue.

Runs like she is stuck in cement.

 

[MSGRET]

The way both of these teams are playing, I don't see either one of them in the Elite Eight let alone the FF.

 

[Vowelguy]

Dawn needs to call a TO and rip her team for losing focus. They are sleep walking.

 

[choochoo]

What is Staley thinking sitting Wilson with 6 minutes to play? They can still loose this game. 10 point game 3;31 to go and UT fighting for every ball and Wilson is back in the game finally.

Her motor just isn’t there. Watching her go up against Wilson is painful. It’s like she’s never learned how to box out or block a shot at 6-6.

You mean like she did against UConn? Sometimes I think she over thinks things, or is so p*ssed off that she forget to call one.

Gabby and Z would have a field day against her.

+23 with her
-13 without

Thank you espn stats!

What do you expect, they want her to be the NPOY so they have to have something to show how great she is.

 

[choochoo]

Staley is crazy. She takes wilson back out with 90 seconds to go and a 10 point lead. Her guards have like 6 points the whole game. And another turn over for SC, 26 turn overs in the game for SC.

 

[BigBird]

Gabby and Z would have a field day against her.

I have been critical of her all season for her disappearing act in late game minutes. Same thing tonight. Fitness? Attitude? Darned if I know.

 

[LoTrader]

Tennessee only loses by 11 points in a home game. That should get them a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[Centerstream]

I wonder what they gave A'ja back in the locker room?

They also earned a draw far away from UCONN.....................................

 

[Plebe]

Uh they show this stat for every player in every game. They didn’t invent it for A’ja.

 

[msf22b]

Always nice to see UTenn humiliated...or in this case:
Self-immolation

I am not a fan of either of them, but SC was clearly the better team tonight.

 

[MSGRET]

Kind of lame to have those stats showing that, over the past 6 years, Tenn has beaten SC 5 times vs UConn only beating them 4 times.

Considering that UConn has only played them 4 times over the last 4 years. How many games did TN lose to SC over the last 4 years, let alone the last 6.

 

[RandomFan85]

Well that was painful. Now the only thing I can hope for is a Mizzu - USC rematch tomorrow. I need some entertainment to make this weekend worth the trip to Nashville.

 

[MSGRET]

I have yet to see them show that stat on any of the UConn players that they televised this year.

Are you Triad Duke Fan in disguise?

No, but I could certainly borrow his paper bag.
