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

[Volstylexx]

What is Darby doing ?

Senior. That's the frustrating part. No one seems to get better under KJH.. but to be fair, they didn't under Warlick either.

 

[VolBall09]

Indiana IMO is in a zone
It Happens

It’s kind of a matchup zone. Not just a typical zone. Similar to what UGA does.

 

[volnationnj]

This one is over. Letting their 4th best player single handedly smoke us.

Just not getting it done against top competition. Getting to be a repetitive narrative.

Not over yet. It's close, but not over.

 

[Memvol44]

Who here truly supports Kellie Harper to keep this job?

Me..

 

[And1]

We’re toast. Not sure WTH Harper does in practice but game after game it’s the same. We don’t guard the three at all. No urgency, confusion on offense and missed layup after layup.

 

[Majors]

In all honesty y’all, Tess isn’t that great of a shooter. ESP against quality opponents.

She’s gotten that label without being able to capitalize on it.

 

[volfan__18]

Tbh Danny White will never fire Kellie. Let’s be honest. Women’s basketball is the least of his worries right now.

 

[Putbacks]

We are taking so many threes. Is that all we can get?

Those shots require zero coaching….so, the answer Is “Yes”.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

So, Tess is 0 for 5 on 3 pointers, and Striplin is 1 of 6 for field goals. We’re really on a roll.

 

[Wilk5]

MTSU is better than we are right now

 

[Majors]

Seeing this team in person, whoever has been saying we are SLOW, is absolutely correct. These girls are dribble driving us too death, and we can’t get past them at all! If you notice, the fastest player we have, is playing the best right now (Powell)

Can’t coach speed and two of your fastest players are out.

 

[Scissor Hands]

I think we only have two offensive plays:
1. The Street Ball Play
2. The Moving Screen Play

 

[Volstylexx]

Not over yet. It's close, but not over.

Imagine Rickea ripping her boot off and heading to the scorer's table bc she's fed up with it.

 

[Voltopia]

If Jackson is injured for much of the season, this might just be the year.

Why is that???

 

[LadyVol1908]

Can’t coach it, but you can recruit it.

 

[volfan__18]

Why is that???

Football, baseball, men basketball, softball. All programs that are headed in the right direction. He’s putting efforts into them and rightfully so

 

[Memvol44]

Sara needs to get her head in the game!!

 

[Voluble2]

I never foresaw Indiana being more physical than us. There is no excuse for that.

Indiana is not a good team. But they want it more and know what they are supposed to do on offense.

Now that they have figured out our defense a little they are scoring at will. We need to settle down or we will get blown out.

 

[VolBalls33]

3 assist for a half of basketball is just not acceptable. I know this team practices, but it sure isn't a offense full of plays to run. Dribble around the 3 point line, pass back and forth until 6 seconds left on the shot clock and either shoot a 3 or a prayer driving to the basket while praying for a rebound or put back. It's 2023, in today's game an offense has to be run to be elite(outside of LSU)

 

[volnationnj]

Indiana is not a great team. But you knew it was just a matter of time before they started hitting their shots. I'm hoping for the same from the LV's, but I'm not confident.

They are very well coached..

 

[Wilk5]

Me..

Why? The lady vol brand and its backing is top 5 in the country. She’s done nothing with that support. Recruiting is non existent.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

I’m sure I missed it, as I have been out of pocket for a few days, but what exactly is wrong with Jackson?

 

[WinnerCircle]

I don’t care if anyone is watching it in person or on tv… this ain’t got crap to do with a team being slow.
Indiana is the less athletic team that Tennessee has played all year.
Matter of fact, in the first quarter TN held them to 12 points because they were disrupting them with ball pressure and forcing tuneovers. The game changed because TN is just taking shots from deep.. not getting anything around the basket.
Darby misses wide open shots and gets on defense sagging over her man who calming nails three after three in her face.

Whoever talking about speed is talking just to hear their own voice.
Indiana is playing in slow motion.
