Game Thread: #23/23 Lady Vols versus #3/5 UCONN

[Bryan1]

This is the difference between adjustments at halftime

Yeah they should have made the adjustment to quit turning it over!

 

[PG1]

They have missed lots of shots we are fortunate to still be within striking distance!

 

[SGMVols]

Every single 50/50 ball

I expect nothing and am still disappointed

Pat would be punching holes in the locker room walls if she were overseeing this lack of effort.

This is why u never pay attention to stars by kids names coming out of high school. Kk jazz jordan were all MACDonald's players. AND THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

You’re insane

 

[Valencia]

I can move better...and I’m 60...

 

[Vols2015]

Look, y’all are saying players are garbage. I don’t think that’s the right way to act at all! We shouldn’t talk about players like that! They’re just kids! It’s just a GAME. We weren’t supposed to win this game. This is a learning experience, and we can only get better! We as fans need to stop being the poison and let the players come together!

 

[Ace]

Why is KK in the game?

 

[bballnut90]

Honestly the first half was a strong effort but the 2nd half has been a disaster. This team is young and has huge upside. I just hope Key can toughen up and that Horston/Burrell can become more disciplined players offensively. You watch Davis, Massengill and Brown and they're all playing within the flow of the game and not forcing it where Jordan and Rae are just out of control and dont have decision making skills at this point.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Three timeouts left two major Runs put on us.. I just don't get it

 

[RAVOL]

Our Freshmen just not ready. Davis in a game like this missing Zaye

 

[djohnnyg]

This team looks worse than in the worst of the Holly regime. The turnovers...unforced...is just shameful.

 

[charleyhorse]

If they were playing nobody they would throw it out of bounds

Clear the bench. Houston should not be in the game. Tonight coaching period. Make official hasn't blown his whistle this half. Brooke physical and we don't donohyaical

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Disband the program and give gymnastics a try. Will never be elite again

Shut the F up! Yes disband a program that won 8 national championships

If that’s the case they would have disbanded football awhile ago but they kept on plugging away and now they seem to be getting back together

SHUT UP

 

[Volfan2012]

Were just terrible no reason to be in the game with 25 turnovers and a 20 shot deficit. UConn nothing to brag about plenty of teams this season that will wipe them out. Sadly were not getting better on turnovers and terrible passes and pathetic weak play. Umpires swallowed their whistle you can't ride somebody' back and not be a foul. Freshmen get better and they will have to or we'll have to wait for some better recruits.

 

[TN1111]

This is sadly still Holly ball... our defense is better that’s about it

 

[87&91ALUM]

Plenty of game film to learn how not to play basketball. They need a new strength coach.

oh well, better team on the road. Maybe this will remind them they have to practice better.

 

[37620VOL]

We're turning it over 40% of our possessions. Unfathomable!

 

[T_Vol376]

Pat would be punching holes in the locker room walls if she were overseeing this lack of effort.

LAWD she would be breathing fire!!!

 

[JCP201]

Played so well in the first two quarters. This is a good team and players. Just need to put all four quarters together.

 

[Rockytoprowdy]

Seriously, people????? Did you seriously think that Tennessee would have led at the half??? I mean, after having JUST a couple of days ago struggling to defeat Alabama?????

You are being WAY too critical of a team that’s still in the early stages of a reboot playing against a perennial Final Four opponent on their home court. GET A GRIP!

The first half is what this team could and should look like, minus the turnovers. What we saw against Alabama shouldn’t be the bar that everything is compared too. They should be ashamed that Alabama team hung around like they did. There’s no reason this team with their talent and size shouldn’t be competitive with anybody. Hell, if they could take care of the ball and block out and not give up almost 20 offensive rebounds (two fundamental things) this score could easily be TN up by double digits.

How about the kids put a little effort into winning the game while learning it?

 

[volmoon]

Eleven 2nd half points.

 

[BUBear]

Tamari Key is garbage

Tamari Key is a freshman. Lauren Cox looked like trash at that age also. Tamari's light will turn on sooner rather than later.

 

[Putbacks]

Taking care of the basketball and fixing the turnover epidemic has not been a priority of the coaching staff all year. This is the result. Players don’t just age out of it. You have to address it and hold players accountable. This is the national stage in late January, and we look like a competitive middle school team.

And then there is the rebounding disgrace.....

Details, details, details.....
