Game Thread: #22/22 LADY VOLS AT #1/2 SOUTH CAROLINA

[tnvols72]

I realize Carolina is top ranked team but we see the same sloppy....lazy turnovers against EVERY TEAM we play. Does this team even practice? LV has never been this hard to watch....even in Hollys worst games. Imo.

Wonder the same thing. I dont see much difference between Holly and Kelly

Haha you’re full of $#!+ because watching Vandy win our home court for the first time was pretty rough! So was having a 5 game losing streak to alabama...

Not saying this team doesn’t have it’s faults but that assessment was just dumb

 

[I4Vols]

Let's see if Kellie can challenge them and look for incremental improvements each possession.

she's not a challeng-her type of coach. It could be her downfall if it continues in future years.

 

[GBO18]

When will the team get the message on turnovers? South Carolina has 20+pts off turnovers.

 

[NoBackBoard]

The loss of Zaay is felt in this game because she was our emotional leader. Everyone on the court is doing the whole “my bad” thing after a turnover but no one is fired up. No one is getting in their teammates’ faces. Who is our leader?

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

20...or 30 point loss...no biggie. But seriously...women's basketball in general is really hard to watch. We get our wins simply because other teams are just as bad...and a little worse on many occasions. This Horston is maddening. If she really is a top talent then it shows just how bad women's basketball really is. She reminds me of my 7 year old nephew in her recklessness.

Sweet your nephew will be a McDonald’s all American and MVP congrats !

 

[PG1]

Another TO on Horston come on coach bench her.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

Kellie getting schooled by a real coach who can actually recruit too..might as well have kept Holly

Give it up, go start ur fire Harper thread and give it a rest

 

[casetopia]

Horston has no one on her and she tries to pass to someone who is triple teamed. Horston is triple teamed and she tries to dribble and shoot. It's maddening to watch.

 

[tnvols72]

Enough of this personal hate-Kellie crap.

Reported.

lol , this is not facebook , reporting on VN because your feeling got hurt wont help you much on Volnation

Its sad to see and I dont see it turning around anytime soon. I never thought Kelly was going to be the answer just like most knew Holly was not going to be the answer.

Yep...we obviously have to give Kelly some time but it looks like we’re still trying to recapture the good ole days of defense and rebounding wins championships.

Of course those things are very important but the Oregon’s, ND’s, UConns play a highly sophisticated, skilled level of offense with little turnovers...if you don’t have a Candace Parker talent at all 5 positions you can’t get it done our way anymore.

It shows that Harps doesn't know how to develop players just like her predecessor..look how well Dawn's freshman are doing and they were ranked behind Horston

 

[Rory]

Had a thing going that quarter - better focus, better D, Rennia heating up, Key battling, their Big Girl hurt - and then, a completely incomprehensible substitution and we're down by 20.

As fans of the Lady Vols reality must set in. This is not a top ten team and if the recruiting doesn't improve this program is headed to ODU, LA TECH, USC ,NC, and VA. when it comes to programs falling off. There are too many players on this that are not good enough. Team needs a pg, a post player, two players to man the 4 position. The offense is an old offense with no player movement and no picks to get players open. The recruiting must improve.

?
Nephew = her ????

I cannot believe they are trapping on the other side of half court. You must wait and set the Trap one step in your court. That way the ball handler has nowhere to go. Let's defense 101. Wow

Yep, half court line gives you another defender. Pretty basic.

 

[creekdipper]

If Kasi fouls out, would Emily come in?

 

[VolBall09]

The inconsistency in the officiating from half to half is baffling. Why? Just call the game evenly and fairly both ways.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

Zone isn't helping us at all. Girls had no fight in them other than a few mins in 3qtr. I don't know what to say. Extremely disappointed in this performance by all of them, coaches included.

 

[casetopia]

The number of unforced turnovers we make is disturbing.

 

[KellywillwinNC]

lol still trying to force it inside

 

[KellywillwinNC]

does it matter??

 

[PG1]

Wow their 3rd string are better than our starters SMH!

 

[KellywillwinNC]

your down almost 20 and not once did they try and shoot some 3s to get back in it..this team is poorly coached, especially on offense

 

[TN1111]

Largest margin ever over Tennessee by SC

 

[casetopia]

I despise dawn staley.
