NCAA Game Thread: (1) Texas vs (5) Lady Vols

[GBO18]

Just don’t have the players that can handle the moment right now and make the smart plays. Turnovers have been killers and mostly unforced this quarter. Good season though. Exceeded expectations by far.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Are we watching the same Fing game?

I know what I'm watching, have you watched the last 4 possessions???

 

[UT Challenger]

too many turnovers especially in the last 4 minutes

We are bet ourselves with turnovers

 

[westtnvoljackson]

man we can go from looking like an awesome team one minute to a middle school JV team the next.

 

[zeppelin128]

If we lose this one, it is going to come down to bad passes. Just sloppy, sloppy passing.

 

[Caz]

Just ridiculous turnovers over and over again are our undoing. Just gifting them

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

I don't think they've had a shot 4 of the last 5 possessions due to turnovers

Yep and that is a shame for sure!

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Buckling under pressure. Turnovers are what beat us.

 

[And1]

The program just isn’t ready yet to take that next step. Might be a couple years away.

 

[IndianaVol]

I think the game has caught up with them...ladies starting to look at little gassed and slow.

 

[Vols2015]

No rebounding

Nope, standing around watching. Cooper made no effort to go after a loose ball that would have been a steal. We must not want this like I thought we did.

 

[Go47]

Too many turnovers by us / bad shooting from 3 / 2 fouls on Texas for the 3rd and 4th quarter = loss.

In surprised it’s this close.

 

[I4Vols]

Coop's gotta come in

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Every chance to win this game. Tennessee has had every chance.

Yep. And didn’t take care of the ball

 

[Voltopia]

If we lose this one, it is going to come down to bad passes. Just sloppy, sloppy passing.

Mostly, but I refuse to believe that Texas committed no fouls for most of this quarter. That won't be why Tennessee loses, but it's cut into the momentum at several key moments.

 

[DaddyChad]

I know what I'm watching, have you watched the last 4 possessions???

Oh I have. The calls have been absolute BS as well.

 

[VolBalls33]

This collapse makes me want to punch holes in the wall. Call a mf time out Kim. You have 4 unused. The team needs you to calm them down. So many missed opportunities and Spencer going 0 for 5 from the FT is just crazy. And of course Sara couldn't hit that 3.

 

[VolBall09]

Recruit over Ruby for next year, my God!!!

nah if she hits her ceiling she’s a fantastic player. Right now shes all or nothing. If she’d calm down and pass when she doesn’t have the look she and our team would be better.

 

[RespectAPA]

Only two attempted 3s this QTR. ESPN says Puckett and Hollingshead -- is that correct? No 3s from Spencer, Darby, Spear...? [I don't recall the Hollingshead missed 3 tbh]

 

[GetEmVols]

can’t dribble, pass, or shoot layups.. this is always so hard to watch.

 

[RAVOL]

just a really bad end of fourth quarter. going against a 1 seed, you can’t have these mistakes.

To say the least. Wow 7 of them. There guards outplayed our guards difference in game.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Recruit over Ruby for next year, my God!!!

Ruby will be a stud next year don't give up on her!

 

[Rocky Top T]

If we lose this one, it is going to come down to bad passes. Just sloppy, sloppy passing.

Agree, but most on here will blame the refs

I agree. Disappointed cause the game was winnable. Proud of the effort and the season. Must have better players.

 

[volsarelife1]

This has probably been Kim's worst coached game as well unfortunately. No timeouts during Texas big run in the 1st and no timeouts to get composure with nearly double digit turnovers in the 4th
