see below

I will make an assessment in year 2-4 not in year one...year one is rarely that coach's doing...an exception being Coach Caldwell...year one is/was HER doing

The introduction of the transfer portal changes that equation. She excelled remaking the roster through the portal.

GBO!!

 

[volforlife10]

the defense is laughable.

 

[theroyz71]

Is the audio going in and out for anyone else?

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Not a good start

 

[ttharp]

Alabama scouted us REALLY well.

Don’t like the vibe of this game.

 

[GameTime]

Wish Cooper would play more team ball......
So far Bama is playing team ball. while we play one on one ball.

 

[volfan__18]

Alabama looks quicker than us in almost every position. We looks lackadaisical rn.

Smokey needs watch that herd of elephant's

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

the defense is laughable.

Our ladies don’t have quick enough feet to move laterally and stay in front of the ball handler. As a result we get blown by a lot.

 

[Unimane]

Very, very poor on close outs.

No team play no win tonight

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The rebounding is terrible

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We look SLOW

 

[ttharp]

We are so slow to the ball today

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

They are getting beat on their press .. very slow movement tonight ..

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Terrible decision by Samara. Attack!

 

[GameTime]

And Harper didn't want Weathers...

 

[ttharp]

How do you leave Nye open?

I’m giving up the open layup every time. Don’t want Nye to get hot.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Alabama doing a good job breaking the press and scoring the three from the corner .. for the third time .. Lady Vols need to settle down ..

 

[volforlife10]

the defense was horrible in the first quarter. the press is getting broke every single time.

 

[volfan__18]

The press is getting broke with ease. We HAVE to switch up the defense or this will be a blowout.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

They were clearly better that quarter. Time to turn it around.

 

[Vols2015]

Our defense breakdowns are awful tonight. There’s no reason we should ever be letting a player that wide open, ever.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

Just one quarter, but that press was doing nothing.
