Game Thread Lady Vols vs Mississippi State

[Undercovervol]

we simply must play zone with annie in the game. Sorry

 

[Undercovervol]

not much passing or swinging the ball

 

[LadyVol1908]

Score anybody ?

 

[Volstylexx]

Ouch, they’re doing a “Is TN still an elite program” section at the break

 

[Volstylexx]

score anybody ?

30-22 msu

 

[leejoek]

We just gave up like 6 offensive rebounds in a row... followed by a turnover

Holly does not understand the concept of a defensive rebound. Neither does she understand the concept of a help-out on a one-on-one defense.

We hardly ever find and put a body on someone and box out. This should be drilled into these players.

 

[Volstylexx]

Why is Hayes in the game? She s a turnover machine and can’t defend

Ouch, they’re doing a “Is TN still an elite program” section at the break

It’s been 9 or 10 years since we were elite.

I’m telling you, she’s no better than any middle or high school coach! She has not built much depth, playing most of the first half with 6 players! She’s not a championship coach! Period.....

I personally agree, but there’s a mob of Holly supporters here who swear we’re still in our hay day.

Holly can you please make Hayes shoot the ball when in the Lane pull up for the jump shot.

 

[Voltopia]

Playing a very good team with a great scorer and a huge post. This is definitely a Final Four team Tennessee's up against. Tennessee's performance today will show them if they are ready to compete with teams in the Final Four.

 

[NoBackBoard]

The turnovers are STILL a problem and we can’t guard one-on-one. Sigh...

No, but is it too much for us to ask that she draw up a good game plan based on the strengths and weaknesses of the team we’re playing?

Is it too much to ask that she make in game adjustments like all the great coaches do?

Is it too much to ask that she learn to use a timeout when one is clearly needed?

Is it too much to ask that she learn to make appropriate substitutions?


So, yeah... you stick with that whole “she can’t make the shots for the players thing.”

Just listen to Kara Lawson's analysis of all this !
Could holly analyze it like that ? Sadly no.
Kara would be a phenomenal coach imo

 

[Undercovervol]

too much dribbling. Our offense looks bad today. Can't defend dribble drives either.

 

[governmentmule]

well hopefully this is the crap quarter of this game

I will say it again Westbrook is to slow to play the point and can`t shoot.

Too bad she has her DREAM job with the Washington Wizards!

We trail 39-26 at halftime.

And the fact they are even doing a story tells you what the experts think. The media and experts are pleading for TN to rise back to where they were, but we have a huge contingent of fans that think only Geno is better and that TN cant do any better on the coaching front.

 

[SGMVols]

This team has finally regressed back to the Holly Warlick mean. If she can't make the Final Four with this team, she never will. Talent-wise, this year will be the ceiling.

 

[vol-un-tear]

We are getting smoked by a better team.

 

[Undercovervol]

we look out of sorts, frustrated, just poor in general. Crowd is out of the game. Disappointed with the huge deficit we face.
I really think Holly is not the answer for TN basketball.
