Texas at Tennessee (merged thread)

[noirwestern]

UConn beats both these teams by 20+.

20+? Seriously? I'd imagine more to the tune of 35 to 40.

Well, Atkins paid for the dumbest play of the game by not keeping her head up. Looked like a good screen to me.

Good screen? In motion?

 

[Kaizen]

Is Atkin making a suicide attack?

 

[SCspur]

Boy Texas really wants Tenn to win this one

 

[JordyG]

Bonehead basketball.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Let me know who wins. I cant watch this anymore. Neither of these teams are top 10.

Texas is a poorly coached basketball team. Aston can recruit but not do much else!

 

[CTyankee]

4th q and they're making the same mistakes they made in the 2nd q... Awful...

 

[DefenseBB]

Bonehead basketball.

Bonehead implies they know better and I don’t think either teams know better...

Both teams are poorly coached.

 

[Blueballer]

What a turnover fest.

 

[Kaizen]

Why Texas doesn't want to change McCarty? She may contribute to at least 10-15 Tenn's point.

 

[CTyankee]

So much for a prime ESPN matchup between two top 10 WBB teams... Overrated!!!

Is it just me or is Russell leaning into those screens ( moving) at the top of the key? Two different players taking hard hits with what looks like leaning into the player while screening.
Anyone see this?

big 3 there

What screen? Russel was running down court after an inbounds pass and Atkins angled over and just flat ran into her back. And if you watch the replay you can see Atkins close her eyes and flinch right before she hit her making it looking inexplicably intentional. Weird or the clumsiest play of the game. Probably both.

If I was Texas, I would be very worried on 1/15. UConn comes to town and the Big Dog likes steak!

Texas will be a different team by then if Joyner Holmes is back and in shape..........Tenn killing Texas on offensive glass, not happening if Holmes is playing........

Umm , No, just no. I suggest a visit to a good optometrist as Russell stuck her butt out in it...

 

[CTyankee]

I hope Tennessee is finally put into the Connecticut bracket at NCAA time...

Look again at that play. Russell looked back and saw Atkins coming. Russell stopped in Atkins path and leaned back a bit.

 

[SCspur]

Travel?

 

[Hayven]

Where is Boothe? Didn’t she say she was going to score more than 30 points per game?

 

[JordyG]

But what is most bothersome for Texas is the lack of fundamentals: Poor boxing out, missed layups, lack of execution on both ends, lazy screens, poor basketball decisions in the half court, poor basketball decisions on the break, the inability to keep your man in front of you on defense, poor cutting on offense, bad hands trying to rebound. On and on.

That was a very Dirty play

That was a very Dirty play

Should have def been a moving screen. The fact the announcers said it was a b-ball play...SMH
