Game Thread: #25/RV LADY VOLS VS. #16/18 TEXAS A&M

[LVol]

You foul earlier and you don't foul their best shooter for crying out loud!

 

[zaqhhh]

Don’t blame this loss on coaching. A lot killed this game and not a lot was coaching

Oh I most definitely will. It's either coaching or lack of respect for the coach which I attribute to coaching.

 

[T.J.]

I’m loving Jaden right now . If she could hit the three like Lou then I’d definitely have her in the starting line up

Her free throws tho

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Give Kellie time to get these players who reek of Holly out of the rotation and things will assuredly start to turn around. I swear, how some of these girls manage to go about their days without constant direction is beyond me.

I don't understand why the coach didn't want her players to guard Carter.

Kelly told them to foul they weren’t listening. Free throws and turnovers has lost this game for us. Nothing to do with coaching.

You must not know who carter is. She’s one of the best in the league for a reason.

 

[zaqhhh]

Lol what was that?

 

[brubaker]

I hate it that the men Vols lost yesterday but it seems Barnes gets as much as he can from a player, where Holly and Kellie never do

If you are a good coach, your players shoot enough fts and punish TOs. Most of the time when it's a player problem, it is also in some way a coaching problem.

 

[GetEmVols]

why didn’t we at least try to throw up a three and hope they foul us? We did two passes for 2 points. My goodness my brain hurts

 

[kell7517]

I don’t think Kellie has this team. Not saying she’s lost them, but I don’t think they fully believe in her. When she’s telling you to foul and you let 20 seconds go off the clock “twice” tells me they don’t seem to care.

 

[Cb153181]

It gets worse next game we can’t guard one person...Arkansas will be tough..5 game losing streak coming is upon us

 

[xtpsrh08123]

Did we just set up a play for two points while down 4 with 2 seconds to play? I can’t imagine that’s what Jolly just drew up I just cant

To be fair Horston never played for Holly, she reeks on her own right now. I want to think she'll get better and seems to have the tools, but probably is a lost cause in need of total psychological rebuild in off season.

Dude we can’t sit Jordan down for long cause we fall without her on the court and free throws should be practiced on your own. They have enough to worry about in practice.

Arkansas will hang 90 on our heads we just don’t seem to be locked in at all

 

[GameTime]

Another thrilling game at TBA...

 

[1985Vols]

Was that the plan? Wait till 9 sec and then foul Carter?

I guess its encouraging that we were our own worst enemy today. Could have easily won.

It’s like Holly was on the sideline. Whew, some bad coaching and horrible decisions by our players.

 

[Volfan2012]

Very pleased with this effort. I wish we could've made our free throws and won the game. Overall we cam to play didn't think we got a fair shot with the Refs and just to many misses at the free throw line. This is the way we need to play but make the free throws and cut the bad pass mistakes mostly Horston.

 

[PointGuard]

We are 4 of 14 from the free throw line.
If we don't pull this out, look no further as to why.

Learning how to block out wouldn’t hurt either

 

[Volfaninfl2]

You need to foul why is Brown on the floor ?

Because she’s the smartest and grittiest player we have.

 

[1985Vols]

Give Kellie time to get these players who reek of Holly out of the rotation and things will assuredly start to turn around. I swear, how some of these girls manage to go about their days without constant direction is beyond me.

She’s going to have to revamp the entire roster because these ladies are brutal

 

[bobkitten]

Sounds like a good crowd and a big effort. There should be NO FTs missed—always shot from the same distance, no one in your face! You can shoot from Anywhere along that line!
