Game Thread: (11) Lady Vols 67 - (12) Indiana 79

[zaqhhh]

Gross performance

 

[Jeff Clark]

They are running one?

Their offense is highly offensive

 

[Caz]

the excitement i had for this team is slowly dwindling to nothing.

I don’t care anymore either.

 

[Gilmore]

Kellie may regret this schedule. Not sure how this team finds their rhythm and confidence. 12 point loss at home.

 

[sechamp2012]

What are these announcers talking about 27 seconds thinking UT can foul and make up a 10 point difference. We barely scored 10 a quarter

Kellie may regret this schedule. Not sure how this team finds their rhythm and confidence. 12 point loss at home.

She won’t regret the schedule more than we regret her

 

[ItchyVols]

Thank god the football team is doing well this year…

 

[Fatoldman]

Before her hire for this job did the AD bother to check Kellie' s record at Missouri State against Top RPI100 teams for the 4 years prior to her Sweet 16 year. Something like 1-42. 41 games under .500. This nugget found on Missouri State's fan forum.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

This team doesn’t deserve to be in the top 30 much less the top 25. No emotion got it handed to them, they got outplayed and out coached.

 

[Rooster1]

Damn. First time I have ever said this…..UT was out coached badly. It was true in the OSU game as well, I just couldn’t bear to say it.

 

[HoptownVol]

This team is going to test the strength of the fan base.

 

[VolBall09]

Pretty disappointing. Had much higher hopes for the competitiveness we would see with this team.


Tough schedule aside, we can’t get beat double digits on our home floor. I don’t care who we are playing, who is playing or is not playing or what month it is. Just not a good look losing at home like that.


Jackson needs to be on the perimeter and Walker needs to be coming off the bench in favor of Puckett or Franklin.

Until Walker can prove she can score consistently she shouldn’t be playing as many minutes as she is. Don’t care how many rebounds she grabs. That was a problem for her last season as well. She can score against smaller, less athletic teams, but as the competition increases she’s pretty ineffective.

Puckett seems to be riding a sophomore slump at the moment. Maybe a bit too much press for her this off season? She just needs to relax and play her game. Thought she looked great in the exhibition busting those short corner jumpers. Just hasn't played well to start here.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I’m at a loss for words honestly

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Walker was awful from the FT line.

This team hasn’t played defense in a single game yet, and playing 11 hasn’t helped anything.

 

[I4Vols]

Too many players and can't yet put the pieces of the puzzle to find five who can play together

 

[JCP201]

sigh. Don't like it when my basketball is struggling. Hopefully they figure it out and things get better.

 

[Majors]

Rickea at the end….wears her passion on her sleeve or not feeling Harper/team

 

[volforlife10]

please do not let walker start another game. she’s had ample amounts of time to prove herself and she hasn’t. move on from her PLEASE.

 

[lfvol]

IU wasn’t fast but they systematically broke the press each time. It’s possible

 

[Volstylexx]

raise your hand if you had Lady Vols at 1-2 to start the year and Football at 9-1.. cause I want some lotto numbers from ya.

 

[northknoxvol]

They need to drop us out of the top 25

 

[orange beard]

I guess Justine is not good enough to play on this team!!!DUMB

 

[Majors]

That's an excellent point

Simple and effective

 

[northknoxvol]

I bet Indiana is amazed it was that easy

 

[VOLPAT]

Why is Walker ”driving” to the basket, but Rickea is not?

Walker needs to be on the bench. Kellie needs to find 5 players who can move and shoot the ball. Too many slow players.
