Game Thread: #19/21 Lady Vols vs. #21/19 Indiana, FOX at 6 p.m. ET on Thanksgiving

Can always get worse

I agree. Just saying. A negative 2 million dollar deficit is the baseline lol.

 

[Voluble2]

The wheels were scheduled to come off next year, but it may be this year without Rickea to mask how truly awful our coaching is, and wihtout Key to erase our inability to stay in front of anyone.

 

[And1]

It's time to move on from Harper. She's not getting it done.

 

[zaqhhh]

I haven't watched any games this year but this doesn't look like a top 25 team. If tonight's performance is any indication I'm not sure this should even be a tourney team. They look like this so far this year?

Yes, this team has no rhythm or system. We use talent and size to overwhelm lesser opponents (or almost get beaten in the case of Memphis).

Then get our butts handed to us against teams like IU

FSU game went well but without Jackson this team is nothing

 

[Volfan2012]

We better win the Oklahoma game cause those next two are looking out of reach without Jackson.

Amazing when a coach like Moren runs an offense and what can happen. She’s a very good coach. Even without Rickea , this team is not good at all. We have zero post presence against any type of elite competition. Honestly, I expect OU to beat us as well, and we for sure don’t have a chance with OSU or ND at this rate.

ND have their top 2 players out. Surely we have a chance in that one.

 

[Butch s]

We are horrible, no coaching, just run down the floor and throw the ball towards the goal and hope it goes in. These girls are slow and lazy. Maybe Kelly should do less dancing with these girls and more coaching

 

[casetopia]

We don't even bother playing defense.

Well this is the team Rickea is about the only player we lose other than Powell. So this is it add Cooper and a freshman.

Coming soon to a poll near you:

 

[Voluble2]

I meant these girls are in a zone shooting hitting way over 50% from 3 that’s great even with the small ball

It is not hard to do when literally no one is within 20 ft of them.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Where’s the fire, I want to see a player holding her teammates accountable, it’s like they are just having a shoot around or something.

 

[Butch s]

Not me. I'm ready to move on. Kellie can't seem to motivate her team and they just play uninspired ball. Too many blowouts for my taste.

Slow and lazy against every team we play

 

[Tennman47]

This is all coaching.

 

[casetopia]

Quick 8 pts and still down 15.

 

[ttharp]

Zero passion or fire. We at least got that with Holly’s teams.

 

[casetopia]

Did you see Puckett shove that girl.

 

[volnationnj]

Imagine my pain - plane ticket, courtside seats, same hotel the team is staying at.

You're a true, passionate fan.

 

[VolBall09]

Our coaches watched that Stanford game and told these ladies to pack it in. Typical fashion IU comes out hot and once you let a team get a feel like that you’re in for a long night.

We need to quit trying to be so fancy and technical on defense and just get down and guard someone. All 5 players in unison, keep your man in front, protect the paint, contest shots and clear the rebound. That’s it. Nothing about this secondary and tertiary coverage is necessary. Players need to take personal accountability for guarding their player. Over and out.

Nobody gets up in a face anymore. KH is a friend and not a coach.

 

[Caz]

This is a top 20 team? Lol, same ole song and dance

 

[WinnerCircle]

Now the dumb substitutions..

 

[KB5252]

I'm sorry but if KJH isn't recruiting well and isn't developing players then she shouldn't be coaching here. With that being said what exactly is KJH doing well?

 

[casetopia]

I hate I even purchased a Hulu live tv subscription just for this game

Was it not on fox for you?

 

[VolBall09]

This is all coaching.

I agree. It’s an even matchup aside from the sideline. Moren is light years ahead of Kellie unfortunately. I love Harper, she says the right things, does the right things, but we just aren’t making it happen.
