Game Thread: 2023 Women's NCAA Tournament...Round of 16: Lady Vols v Va. Tech...Sat @ 6:30 ESPN2

[SGMVols]

No…they made mental mistakes and did not take care of the ball

Doesn’t that prove my point?

 

[Putbacks]

This team had plenty of talent but zero grit.

There is no rigor. College is fun when it’s free and you can play street ball and pick-up all the time.

 

[zaqhhh]

I’m thinking one of these offensive minded teams (Ohio state or Maryland) end up taking out SC

Could be Maryland is tough, OSUs speed could give them fits.

LSU could lose by 30 though. SC matches up really well with them

It was fun while it lasted. We’re back to the “always next year” mentality.

I said all year that our three-point shooting was a problem--and would be a problem come tourney time.
We are 3-17 from the three-line at this moment. You're not going to beat anybody good with crappy shooting
like that.

Horston is 5-15 for the game---with SEVEN turnovers. Our senior. I would be pleased to hear that she wants to turn pro,

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We need a ball handler and shooter like Amoore. We don’t have enough night in night good shooters to win tournaments right now..

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

That was a bad call… the ball was on the way. Floparino.

Bad call or not she jumped into the space and gave the official a chance to make the call!

 

[ttharp]

Todays game was the reason why Horston never made an All-American team at Tennessee! As a senior you just can’t have that many turnovers!

Outside of last year’s game vs Texas, she hasn’t put together a masterful *40* minute performance in any BIG stage game that lead to a WIN. Hasn’t happened at any point in her career. I think a change of scenery could benefit her.

This isn’t an attack on her as a person.

 

[VolBall09]

Ohio State will destroy this team I think. McMahon is twice Amoore’s size and can defend her.

They couldn’t handle our press they are going to hit a brick wall against OSU.

 

[Halph66]

Remember when Tennessee had players that played with the tenacity that VT is playing with?

 

[VolBall09]

I’m still proud of this team, but this sucks.

 

[Caz]

It was fun while it lasted. We’re back to the “always next year” mentality.

Both men & women.

 

[casetopia]

Is the big girl singing yet?

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Contract Extension!! Great Coaching, terrible player execution!

 

[LadyVol1908]

I seriously wouldn’t mind if Horston just moved on.

 

[knoxvol52]

That is tonite in a nutshell

 

[zaqhhh]

Unlucky there lol

 

[vol94]

I really expected us to win tonight

Me too @ Volstylexx. I give this team a lot of credit for fighting, but they came out too flat and dug themselves into a deep hole. I will be interested to see how VA Tech plays in their next game.

 

[VolBall09]

Where was that Horston the last 40 minutes?

When she just plays basketball she’s the best player on the court.

 

[Volstylexx]

Damn. Walker lol

 

[Nute Gunray]

Kellie reverted back to her terrible habit of wanting to play everyone, instead of playing the 5 best position players and substituting only when neccesary. She did not do this in the LSU comeback win. It breaks my heart that she cannot or will not realize that you must go with your best players, by position, as much as possible.

 

[VolFuture]

Wow Walker that was a technical

 

[Prophet1]

The clock was running when they had it out of bound

 

[userpete1037]

Disagree. Too many players on this roster lack the total package to be an elite team. Major deficiencies on one or both ends.

Absolutely agree. Kellie has to solve that with recruiting, or we need to bring in somebody that can. Simple math to me.

 

[TN1111]

Love when we start playing really hard when the game is out of reach….smdh
