Game thread: #11 Lady Vols host Georgia. Sunday, March 2, Noon ET, SECN

[LadyViking/Vol]

I’m just at have no words about the last two games the Lady Vols have played .. this one , especially, is just a head scratcher! This loss should have never happened! They will not get very far in the tournament if they don’t correct this poor showing of basketball displayed today ! I love ‘em! Just very disappointed at the moment ..

This definitely is their last game on The Summitt. So sad.

Would probably have to make it to the SEC Tournament final to turn around from this and get the host. And if Cooper is out for the season...

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Kim letting this team implode right at the end of the season has been very, very disappointing and obviously an unpleasant surprise.

She’s been riding on good vibes most of the season, but the way they’ve played in these last two games gives me pause.

I want her to be great but I’m back to being a healthy amount of skeptical. This has just been an unacceptable skid.

Game - horrible loss! Not very inspired play. We came back and took a three point lead but choked.

Not sure what the issue is or if can be fixed. Maybe we over achieved this yr?

One thing is for sure, besides Boyd, time to dump all these players and start fresh. Not sure what their issue is but one thing is for sure, they can't consistently put the basketball in the hoop and their instinctive D is average at best.

That was a disastrous performance. The 1st half was easily the worst half of basketball that I have ever seen a Tennessee women's basketball team play. This is embarrassing.

I still believe in Coach Kim Caldwell though. Go Lady Vols.

 

[VolBall09]

You will NEVER get an ESPN push notification faster than when the Lady Vols lose a game they shouldn’t. Swear to God.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

That's a terrible loss.

 

[VolBalls33]

Sara 0 Whitehorn 0 Cooper 2 points...UGA 1st SEC road win all season. Pretty shocking. Completely out coached. After all that Coach Caldwell has done right, last 2 games make me think hold the brakes. Did something happen in house?

 

[VolBall09]

yep, that little nugget UGA had 16 straight road SEC loses in a row before today

One of the worst losses in program history.

 

[Gilmore]

Wow, Kim’s lack of experience at this level may be showing up. So much on the line and this team has regressed. Don’t think we’ll be hosting.

 

[JCP201]

So sad. I hope Cooper is okay. This was not a good loss.

 

[RAVOL]

Losing to this team ugh. We must have really played so bad and uninspired the 1st half to be down 23. Still to many holes in roster. Watching 2nd half its been 4 players who have played the others like Puckett missing bunnies. To play Kim's style she has to keep recruiting like Tony Vols does. Unrelenting. We have to play Wednesday Night. Bad bad loss. In CHRIST Alone

 

[LadyVol1908]

At a loss for words honestly!

 

[Les Paul Vol]

Rough day for the Lady Vols , Georgia outplayed them from the jump today. Georgia had lost 16 straight road games coming into Knoxville , the last two games has to be a huge concern for Coach Caldwell.

Yep all streaks come to a end , to bad it was today

not unless we tear the sec tournament up. highly unlikely with how we are playing.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

100%. no one can get in a flow and we dig urself a hole because our best five aren’t out there to start the game for very long. it’s got to be tweaked.

The full court press killed us and cost us the game. It gave up too many layups which led to the 23 point deficit . We were never able to recover. It is interesting we were able to get the lead in the 4th quarter without Cooper.

 

[StickMan]

Definitely baffling how this team has taken such a dramatic nosedive. At least they played with some amount of heart in the second half. But I don't understand the sudden lack of confidence and energy. Definitely a concern moving forward.

 

[I4Vols]

This is going to be a really awkward and sad Senior Day "celebration" yikes.

Yup, assumed a home win and got a coach, team and fan base the old "made an ass out of you and me"

 

[utVolFanInVA]

21-62 (33.9%) FG and 6-28 (21.4%) 3pt coupled with crappy D will get you beat even by bad teams

 

[Voluble2]

Worst loss since Holly was coach.

Absolutely unforgiveable.

When you have your forever coach, who is going to take you back to the promised land, they do not lose games like this.

GA's first win in 16 SEC road games. Only 6th victory in program history at Knoxville.

And worst of all, the team laid down two games in a row.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Ugly and damaging loss! But it is year one with a patchwork roster that I believe overachieved for much of the season. It is a very unsound style of basketball. Can KC recruit so well that the talent overcomes the philosophy? That’s the question starting year 2.

 

[SGMVols]

Wow, Kim’s lack of experience at this level may be showing up. So much on the line and this team has regressed. Don’t think we’ll be hosting.

0% chance we host after that

 

[Putbacks]

Our personnel is very worthy. There needs to be better organization and discipline and teaching. We just lost to an inferior team on our home floor and was recently drilled at Kentucky. We look so unprepared now—when it really matters.

 

[Les Paul Vol]

Today we looked no better than Hollly’s and Kellie’s teams. Looked just as lost as those teams did.

The last two games look exactly like previous teams under Holly and Kellie
