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

[Gilmore]

If Darby goes 3-5 like normal complexion of the ball game is completely different. Tough night for Tess.

Love Tess, but she has to figure out how to show up in big games

 

[charleyhorse]

As

I will agree with you on this make no sense to me.

sure play Horaton with 6 turnovers and who doula 3 point shooters. He bit would get aore

Love Tess, but she has to figure out how to show up in big games

She's easy to guard because her offensive arsenal is limited. She needs to improve her ball handling and find a midrange game.

 

[creekdipper]

I'm not understanding why it took so long to figure it out , Kellie? The third quarter is wayyyy toooo late.
Anyway , you just gave Ohio State the key to beating VT and they're really good at the press. Remember how their press turned you over?

Obviously, using the press to beat teams would never have occurred to McGuff before the Va Tech game tonight. If only he had used that against CONN.

 

[Oldman70]

I AM PROUD OF THE LADY VOLS!

The most significant stat differential is that they hit 8 of 26 threes and we hit 3 of 17. There's your ball game. We just didn't shoot threes well.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Recruiting has to improve. If your going to bring in these girls that can shoot they cant be slow and flat footed. If your going to bring in quick athletes then they need to be able to shoot. And if their basketball IQ isnt that high ignore them. Tired of the careless turnovers costing possessions .

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I could see that but there is so much talent out there. I just wonder if it’s the style of play or recruits don’t see players being developed. Again, I don’t follow women’s basketball recruiting. Thanks!

Not many game changing recruits, maybe 1 or 2 per year and we get none of them. Like A Paige or Azzi or Caitlyn.

You’re right! let me get off here!

 

[creekdipper]

I’m so over the Kellie Harper era. Call me a negavol if you want.

Okay.

 

[Rons1989]

Im proud of the team but we just squandered the perfect opportunity no disrepect v tech but this is inexcusable on so many levels

The thing is, we have one, but won’t be able to see her until 2027.

Well, Azzi got CONN as far as we got.

 

[LadyinOrange]

At least we have baseball till May.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

She wasn’t fully healthy

 

[DarkPhoenix]

The thing is, we have one, but won’t be able to see her until 2027.

Let’s hope she ends up that way by then.

 

[volforlife10]

it’s as if our top 3 ranked softball team don’t exist to tennessee fans.

 

[VolBall09]

I will enjoy the rest of the tournament so much more knowing won’t have to see UCONN play. Sure we will hear about them because what else will Lobo talk about? But I’m so glad they were eliminated lol.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Let's go beat their ass in softball at VT, but here I am at this bar getting sh1t thrown at me, cussed out, called names ... Backwoods rednecks man

 

[BreatheUT]

Admittedly I didn't watch the game. I've been at an all day event so I was tracking the score from my phone. That said the only complaint I have is what I see many others complaining about and that is recruiting. Ther was a time we never would've been close to that complaint. Even we CHW was coaching she still got a lot of top players. She just couldn't coach.

 

[T_Vol376]

Wow Walker that was a technical

Disgusting and very Sophie Cunningham-ish.

 

[SGMVols]

Wow Walker that was a technical

If she had any eligibility left, she would’ve started next year on a suspension. Nobody likes losing obviously, but you still have to lose with dignity when it happens.

 

[Majors]

Im proud of the team but we just squandered the perfect opportunity no disrepect v tech but this is unexcusable on so many levels

But why? We only have one Top 25 this year. Was it inexcusable or expected?

 

[turbovol]

Well, Azzi got CONN as far as we got.

Is this supposed to make us feel better? UConn had been to 17 straight Final Fours. We haven't been to ONE Final Four in 15/16 years.

Good show bt Va Tech today that is a good team
