Texas at Tennessee (merged thread)

[DeeHusky]

Mercedes Russell is pretty nonchalant considering this is her last year.

 

[Kaizen]

Look like a college wrestle game

 

[Plebe]

I've seen better organized offense at the local playground.

 

[huskeynut]

I think I figured out the offensive plan for both teams - whoever brings the ball up the court dribbles around then shoots.

 

[JordyG]

I don’t know if any screens have been set today. Everything is one on one and no one has looked for each other.

Tennessee is young and they'll ultimately get that, probably after facing a team the kills them off screens and the pick and roll. Everything I'm seeing from Tennessee is what I expect a young team to do: Play too fast, play selfish, incapable of understanding the intricacies of the half court game etc. It's Texas that surprises me with their ineptitude, lack of focus, discipline and execution.

I was going to point that out too. This game is setting WCBB back 20 years. All 1 on 1 play. Any kid considering Tenn or Texas needs to watch this this game and think twice about the kind of basketball those to programs teach. Horrible.

After this game the NCAA should have Aston and Warlick stand at podium and bow to the world and say "we're sorry, for what you just had to endure"

The shooting is improving somewhat in the second half. Westbrook with 2 good 3 pointers with texas showing no effort to go over the screen. Atkins with a long 3pt but no real offensive movement. Bullyball. Holly providing alot of insight in the coaching huddle. Doing good. Keep it up. LOL

I like her hair ?...may be

 

[huskeynut]

There are bodies all over the place.

 

[SCspur]

Wow Mercedes Russell is so slow two of her transistion baskets came because she didn't cross half court but Texas is so bad they couldn't make Tenn pay for it.

 

[DefenseBB]

At least the announcers are noting how poor the passing has been and lodging concerns on the one-on-one play. Mercedes has been rewarded twice now on being slow down the court with Texas taking too quick a shot, missing and Russell getting the layup- disgraceful...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yeah, but the fam can watch from the stands...

Yeah, but what they are watching isn't the same.

 

[DefenseBB]

McCarty is completely ineffective in this game.

 

[JordyG]

4 fouls on White. Will Boothe get off the bench?

 

[MilfordHusky]

McCarty is completely ineffective in this game.

Yep, and she was the Conference POY last year.

 

[ASweet3781]

Can't believe the "experts" ranked this Texas team ahead of ND and South Carolina? What have they accomplished yet?

 

[huskeynut]

What an exercise in futility.

 

[MilfordHusky]

4 fouls on White. Will Boothe get off the bench?

Didn't she promise us 30 and 20 and an undefeated season?

 

[JordyG]

Again Texas come down on the break and refuses to pass to an open wing.

 

[JellyBean]

Four point game. Pretty close game

 

[MilfordHusky]

One clear take-away from this game:

Notre Dame is the 2nd best team in the country, yet again.

 

[mbr33ct]

There's joy in Rocky Top

 

[SCspur]

Not sure what KA is selling to get recruits to Texas but I sure like to know what it is because they are TERRIBLE!

 

[JordyG]

Didn't she promise us 30 and 20 and an undefeated season?

And 2 championships, at least, while she's there. Now she can't even get off the bench when her team needs here if only to rebound.

 

[Kaizen]

and Tenn tip a ball for Texas ... what a game
