Tennessee also has one of the best players in wcbb out with an injury and trying to bring back one of the best defensive players in wcbb. I gather to say Tennessee was missing much more than Stanford and playing a veteran, high ranked team. Gonzaga is not! Emphasis on unranked.

You’ll have to forgive me for having more faith in the winningest coach in WBB history than a coach who has never been past the Sweet 16.

i always say..... what the team does and how they do it are 100 percent in control of the Head Coach if she doesn't approve of what her players are doing she can get rid of ALL of them it should be a priviledge to wear the Tennessee uniform

As most poster know I love Kellie Harper. But this team was not ready to play or flat out laid down on her today.Reguardless I expect big changes in her staff next year. Our recruiting ace isn't recruiting nor coaching. Not sure what the hell Joy is doing. John needs to be a Ralph Weekly. A behind the scenes advisor.

I saw a team today that has quit on their coach. No effort or emotion. Just going through the motions of being on the floor. No way OS is 20 points better than this team. Something has to change.

Rooster, you're being a real a-hole right now to ridicule a Lady Vol fan for being an enthusiastic fan of players on his favorite team on his favorite team's fan board.

You need to remember where you are.

Ivocd, I always remember, reread the texts, I support the real fans, only have fun with the fake ones. Never intended to step on toes, thought it was obvious which ones were fake. Apologize if I read something wrong, dont think so but possible of course. Peace, I’m with you here man.

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

It is a factor. However, there are far too many players that lack the athleticism/quickness to defend an average to plus athlete. Lack of recruiting can only be overcome by fantastic skill or difference making coaching.

If a Lady Vol fan on his favorite team's fan board is consistently and persistently silly, and routinely spews nonsense, why should any wcbb fan be enjoined from poking fun at the enthusiastic person who invents alternate realities?

PS- please remember to wag your forefinger at Rooster when you chastise him/her for
gently chiding the silly one.

Ffs!

We’re good Ivocd!

You know that’s a loser mentality that comes from the history of South Carolina athletics.
This is partly the negaVols doing they’ve made this a platform to outright discredit the LVs program/players and gave these outside fans the green light.
They are front runners. Tennessee has won more than SC ever will. I’m watching the LVs no matter what because this is the standard.

I’m never embarrassed to say that I’m a Tennessee fan.

I’ve been around here longer than you, and there is a lot you need to be embarrassed about, but I digress. I have been respectful here for well over 10 years, and I have supported the LV team in many ways over the years, I don’t know squat about you other than you appear to be a troll and your texts are twilight zone material, but in any event, Peace and Merry Christmas.

Entire season has been a let down so far.

This team has no leader and it starts with the coach.

Everyone, including the players, are acting like the return of Rickea will magically fix everything.

It didn’t magically fix our defense or magically win us a game at FSU.

We need everyone to step up and be a leader in the best way they know how. They’re all looking for inspiration from outside of themselves and they need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

At this point I do hope the Harpers are gone next season. I’ve defended Kellie and hoped for the best for her, but this product is not fun to watch. She doesn’t seem to have the ability to pivot. Too rigid in her vision and then unyielding when the reality doesn’t line up.

To me it’s clear at this point Harper has limited ability to beat the better coaches. She has a one off here and there like the LSU game in the SEC tournament last season but more often than not you can write it up if we are playing a well coached team. We play like a mid-major who can occasionally knock off a P5 school, not like the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteer Basketball Team.

The face of the Lady Vols Basketball program is not looking to pretty these days.

What the hell just happened? How has it fallen apart so completely? I knew it would be bad without Rickea, but it should definitely not be this bad. I don't understand anything that's going on.

Hard to put this embarrassment on anything but coaching. The constant sub-go-round denies any flow or rythmn our offense might accidently stumble upon. The rotation makes no sense. Poise was once again nonexistent, and that's on coaching.

Tess had a team high 28 minutes. Someone thought that was a good idea?

What in the world have we done to Jewel? To Jill? Again tonight, both were complete nonfactors on offense. Jill only got up 3 shots.

WTF TK? Could she have done this all along? Sure didn't look like it from up close; you could see her panting and asking for a sub after 3 trips up and down in previous games. Didn't play at all against Notre Dame. And suddenly, she's capable of 9 pts in 16 mins? Insane.

Some of our players are just plain ole at their ceilings. Others, like Wynn, JP and Wells, show flashes but are wildly inconsistent. No one is growing.

We're taking on so much damage I'm not sure it's even going to help that much getting Rickea back, words I thought I'd never live to type. But I still want her the hell back ASAP.

MTSU is no cupcake, though they got spanked by Belmont today. This could possibly get worse.
