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

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.

A real question is how do u have 40% CAREER 3pt shooters shooting sub 20% (heck sub 10%) from the guard

Like those are CAREER NUMBERS… y so bad now… even Tess. Interesting thought I think.

Kellie lost this game when the “starters” started the second half.

A 6-0 run to start the game and a 8-0 run in the 3rd. That’s 14 free points in like 2 mins. GAME CHANGING

How tf (excuse my language) does a girl who has played 2 games and has been out for 2 weeks out play anyone at this point. Another interesting thought.

When all your starters get yanked 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter because of their poor performance.

Strickland did not "outplay" anyone. It's just that everyone else was as bad or worse than she was.

I didn't mind her minutes tonight, she couldn't have been worse than what was happening on court. She plays hard as she knows how and with energy, but if she's playing big minutes we're in trouble.

Tf you mean she didn’t out play anyone… was literally 3rd in plus minus… ik u hate her but dam. What’s bad about 4pts a 2reb only 1 turnover (not from the press but trying to feed post) in 12 mins? And her teams went on the run… her D was really good too. So. She did out play even if everyone sucked.

The signs have been there that this was the way it was heading. Rickea covered it up last season by being here and not somewhere else. She’s out and now we see how just how wide the gap is struggling at home with teams #16-22

MTSU will rock bottom as Tennessee should never lose to a directional state school.

I’ve seen this on this forum many times the LVs can lose a game to a top team then beat a team like Eastern Kentucky and a few of you will think oh they’re ready now for example after we beat Troy some of you posted we looked good I think we are ready never mind that it was TROY

The last part is why she’s playing. She gave a good 12 mins of work after being out four games.

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.

The head coach should go with her staff. Enough is enough.

Should have been fired after last season. It was clear that this ship was headed in a very bad direction because of CKH’s inability to assemble a talented roster. Horston and Jackson carried us last season. CKH’s very poor plan this season was for Jackson to carry a lot of mediocre players that CKH has brought in.

If the goal is to return to the pinnacle of the sport, CKH and everyone on her staff has to go.
