We Need To Get This One
To state the obvious, this game matters in a lot of different ways, not the least of which is the fact that this appears to be a team we can beat. They're not really bigger than us. We appear to have a slight advantage in athleticism, but they did get a full season in last year and appear to be more game ready out of the gate this season than Vandy. Also, they can shoot it, and, so far, we've struggled some with that.
Tech is 2-0 with blowout wins over Bethel and UT-Chattanooga. I watched most of that 27-point win over Chattanooga. The Mocs are not a powerhouse, but I expected a better game on their own floor. Tech pretty much just shot them out of the game early.
If coach Ralph get the same defensive effort from her team that she got in Murfreesboro, I have to think we'll be OK. Surely we'll shoot it better tonight than we did Monday. Won't we?

Re: We Need To Get This One
I surely hope so! It would be an improvement to get our FG% up to a modest 40% and 3pt up to a modest 30%. So would TOs under 20 and more than 10 assists.MikeADore wrote: ↑Thu Nov 18, 2021 2:44 pm To state the obvious, this game matters in a lot of different ways, not the least of which is the fact that this appears to be a team we can beat.

Re: We Need To Get This One
So far so good, 5 min left in Q1, Vandy leading 23-9, with Vandy on an 18-0 run!
Tenn Tech 11-18-2021
Halftime score 34-20, Vandy with 8 TOs and 9 assists -- I like! Also shooting 52% from the field (I like) with TTU shooting 36%. I'm still seeing more point-blank missed shots than I'd like, but it sure looks better so far!
Re: We Need To Get This One
And so we did! 75-55 VU win. 50% FG%, 40% 3pt%,16 assists, 14 TOs, 4 players in double figures. Very encouraging!
