You know the answer to that. You’ve tried to dance with me for a few years now. Sunday afternoon in Knoxville for women’s basketball is different than a Saturday night in Athens, GA beating UGA. Last time we did it in football, LSU fans were leaving in the 3rd. Did our largest crowd leave early? Is so, that only adds to the embarrassment

We were talking about chants. Someone seemed to think it is "embarrassing" to hear visiting fans celebrating in our arena after a win...as though UT fans should be singing Rocky Top at the top of their lungs to drown out the other fans. That's the job of the band and singing the alma mater, etc. if it's such an affront.

You moved the stanchions to say that it's embarrassing to lose (to the defending national champions and still top ten team). I can see people being embarrassed to lose to Chattanooga (Holly's first game) or MTSU this year or even be embarrassed by the way we lost. But being embarrassed simply because another team beat us at our home and then is celebrating like winning fans do is just silly.

Honestly I’m actually shocked we lost. I thought them playing their 3rd game in 7 days (2 on the road), and having home court advantage would help lift us over them. We gotta get they mental toughness.

I’m not shocked at all, I knew this would be our toughest game all season, when you’re playing the best team u need to cut down on mental mistakes and we didn’t do that today.

Yeah, we all saw how you ripped Darby as being useless yet had nothing to say when she ran off five quick points to get us back in it.

Such a true 💙 fan.

Well. Waiting. Where did I rip Darby. You got nothing, so you make stuff up. Must be proud of yourself

She only got to play 3 minutes!

Yep. She has proven herself yet she gets limited minutes. That girl gets in the game and works her ass off, yet it goes unnoticed. She battled Reece better in 3 min that Hollingshed did in the massive minutes. Bottom line coaching sucks.

LSU wasn't very good today at all. It was shooting 30 percent at the start of the 4th quarter. Van Lith made, what, 5 straight baskets at crunch time, including at least 2 treys, and that was the ball game. We weren't good either, to state the obvious. Both teams shot poorly.

Idk maybe I saw the auburn game and got my hopes up too much. I genuinely thought since we gave SC a run for their money, with a week off we would fix those lapses and pull a win against LSU.

You just said that a late season turnarounds and tournament run wouldn't change your mind. Own it.

You and your cohorts don't want Kellie to succeed at this point. If you read my post, I didn't defend her decisions in this game, especially fourth quarter. But I sure was hoping they'd pull it out.

Unlike the vocal contingent who only comment when things are going wrong and then scurry back into their holes when we mount a comeback.

Besides the LVs, what other top 25 team can you name, with our rich tradition and history, that needs a late season turnaround and luck to get into the tournament? When is the last time anyone would have thought that LVBB could, could I say, be a play-in team instead of the top 4 seeds nationally? If it has taken CKH this
long into the season to figure it out (and don’t forget her coaching decisions today), in season 5 no doubt, you’re borderline delusional if you truly believe she can win a natty here.

If I were Puckett, Wynn, and Striplin I would enter the portal. They aren’t going to win a championship at TN. I would at least go someone where that’s going to compete their final season. Heck and get developed more in a year than they have in 3 years.

There’s no way they beat SC at their place unless they play the bench players and I doubt they will and it’s the last game and at home now they may take it easy on us but I wouldn’t so that’s another loss

That might help us, if we have a lot of spots open we can build a better overall roster.
