Game Thread: #20 Lady Vols v #16 Ohio State: Sunday Dec 3 @ 5PM; Home, ESPN

[Advol]

Strickland is one of the few players that will run through a wall for ya if need be.

Good points: Some of our players are slow, and they play slow. And the team has a whole just doesn't play hard enough. We have talent and coaching problems, obviously

Our son played college basketball. Best skill he did for foot speed was jumping rope. It really made a difference on defense and first step on offense.

OSU 9 turnovers
LV 17 turnovers

Are yall sure Spear led the ACC in scoring?! It wasn’t another Spear?

Harper arguing a call now down by 20…..What a coaching midget….

 

[Majors]

Kellie being reactive with the refs when the game is out of hand.

 

[Voluble2]

Kellie is about 20 pts late getting pissed at the refs.

18 pts down this late in the game is just pointless to finally show some actual anger.

 

[dillyo51]

We have had several chances to push the ball and attack the press (look to score) but we always slow the ball down. Is there a reason for that?

They have to wait for TK.

 

[Caz]

Just asking? Do we see any of our recruits or transfers actually progress?

Exactly

 

[Rons1989]

Spear go take seat....when her shot not falling she doesnt excel at nothin else passing,rebounding defense abysmal horrible bball IQ

Yep…plays all out. She’ll get beat like they all do but will be all out the entire time

Here's the thing: When you lose your best offensive player, there's almost certainly going to be a dip in scoring and offensive efficiency. However, if you are well coached, you should still be a competent and competitive team, and your team should ratchet up its intensity on both sides of the floor. We don't see competence or urgency...or anything positive. That's a sign of coaching problems. But we also have talent issues, let's be candid. We have no elite players to go with our no elite coaches.

This team sucks

 

[volkyries]

We have been out hustled from the opening toss. Not sure what is going on with the team, but they just seem so flat-footed.

 

[th2421]

We actually adjusted really well on McMahon (who hasn't scored this half) but at the expense of letting everyone else score however they want.

 

[LV renaissance]

Miserable performance in every way. Only positive is how much better Key looked and played.

 

[zaqhhh]

If it was just Jackson then our defense wouldn’t be quite so bad but we are also allowing 70+ every game.

Badly coached team all around.

Won’t be long now.

 

[Voltopia]

If Rickea doesn't make it back soon, Tennessee's last and longest streak may finally come to an end.

Even if she does come back, I don't know.

 

[gray0306]

well that all the excietement I can take ...5 mins of this game....seriously Harper needs to go

 

[Memvol44]

Were going to give up 80+ points...Defense is desire!

 

[zaqhhh]

If Rickea doesn't make it back soon, Tennessee's last and longest streak may finally come to an end.

Even if she does come back, I don't know.

Their SOS probably gets them in regardless, whether we should desire to be in this year is another question

 

[gray0306]

embarrasing on your home court....

Bad to be out-hustled and slow.
