Game Thread: #25/RV LADY VOLS VS. #RV/RV LSU

[Prophet1]

Except for Davis no one else is scoring. And the truly real disappointment is that Sugar Rae replaced Jordan in the starting lineup and did the same thing she's been doing all year long...... come off the bench.

 

[Volfan2012]

Quickness I believe. We our not swift of quickness at all in 4 and 5 spot.

Definitely need to make some player personnel decisions for next season may need some players to leave and try to get some Grad Transfers or Jucos to fill in those slots. I guess Green will be back with the two guards we signed. We may need a Grad Transfer or two if we can get them.

 

[SandyO]

I just don’t have any faith in Kellie right now. For whatever reason, she isn’t getting through to the players. Maybe I have lady vol PTSD from the Holly years but i don’t even see a reason to be hopeful. I realize she has some D2 players that she didn’t recruit but the way that JH isn’t thriving in her system, isn’t going to help with recruiting.

No we don't. We have the right players

 

[stlvolsfan]

Highly unlikely Teonni is coming to UT.

Yeah, I saw her on Twitter today and she never mentioned UT...she did UNC and SC, can’t remember the other schools.

 

[Volfan2012]

I didn't think we would score much over sixty and I was certain they wouldn't either. Them putting up 75 is very shocking.

 

[PG1]

Not counting the cupcakes we are 8 and 7. I'm not counting Mississippi as a cupcake.

Why is Ole Miss not a cupcake everyone they play is enjoying the feast.

 

[SGMVols]

I want to believe Kellie learned from her failures at NC State. I’m becoming less optimistic by the day that this happened. We are on the road to becoming Louisiana Tech. South Carolina is the new Tennessee.

 

[Prophet1]

For all we know, it could easily be that the players are in the early stages of the flu. As much close contact as teammates have with one another on a daily basis, I’d be shocked if noone else ends up with what Davis had. Not sure what the incubation period after exposure to someone who is still in the contagious period...

I'm sure that as good an excuse as any.

 

[Nute Gunray]

I believe we have to give Coach Kellie another year to determine if she can restore the elite legacy to UT. This year's excuses will not hold water next year. Let's hope the best for her and the team.

2.Davis has low energy bad body language it brings down the the squad it may be a good idea for her to leave a year early for the draft.

Davis is still recovering from an energy sapping flu. This flu is literally KILLING weaker people all over the country. Davis is NOT pouting or giving bad body language. She is still not well!

 

[NoBackBoard]

I don’t think UT would or should accept a WNIT bid.

I do. If they don’t make the tourney it won’t be due to politics. It will be because they didn’t deserve it.

 

[Volfan2012]

Players don't usually think in regards to what their sister did. Milloy softball came to Tennessee and her sister was at Washington right there in her home state. I am sure Washington felt good about getting her until they didn't. That is how we felt about Key and it is looking quite likely she is going elsewhere.

We need a forward bad love Lou giving her all but it's hard against this level with one good leg. Next year may be a year we go 4 guards. I hope Zaye recovers well I know she will put in the hard work and really great athletes recover better.

WNIT is a four letter word

 

[PG1]

No we don't. We have the right players

Wrong our guards are not quick enough for upper level SEC teams and post players are all like robots with their movements and have no range over 3 foot from the basket. Take off the orange glasses so you can see.

 

[lvocd]

I can’t stand posters who only come here to sh!t on the program after losses. Screw you people!

 

[stlvolsfan]

We deserve this L. We played uninspired, sluggish and undisciplined.

 

[Orange Maniac]

Maybe I have lady vol PTSD from the Holly years but i don’t even see a reason to be hopeful.

It's way too early to throw in the towel on this team and staff. Yes, they both stunk up the joint tonight but we need to give her some time.

 

[tn4everlvfl]

Yeah, I saw her on Twitter today and she never mentioned UT...she did UNC and SC, can’t remember the other schools.

UConn has offered her as well. She’s a 4 ️ recruit. She’s not coming to UT. Bet on it.

Do you see confidence out there?
I don't



I did

 

[stlvolsfan]

I have a couple observation
1.Coach Harper's in over her head
2.Davis has low energy bad body language it brings down the the squad it may be a good idea for her to leave a year early for the draft.
3.KK shouldn't be getting playing time

Davis is our best player and has played her butt off all year and given her all. This is blasphemy.

 

[Volfan2012]

No we don't. We have the right players

Then why is so many talking about we may be looking to grab some Grad transfers during the off season. Cause if we have the right players they sure aren't playing right.

 

[teacherdean]

We have a problem playing with a sense of urgency. We just do not seem to play with much fire. LSU might as well have had a welcome mat down in the key, several times they made us look ridiculous on dribble drives. Right now KK is a liability in the post. I don’t know how many times she was out of position and she is not a physical rebounder. In fact the whole team lacks physicality. If we don’t get a clue, we are going to lose a few more games. KJH still has a lot of work getting this team into a good position for the SEC Tournament. They seem to be regressing instead of progressing. Making the NCAA will be a grind.

 

[therealitytheory]

Positives: We know how to get 2-for-1s at the end of quarters, unlike Holly's teams.

Negatives: Tall girls playing a passive zone morphs into tall girls getting beat off the dribble time and again in the man-to-man. Tall girls constantly losing 50-50 balls to smaller girls.

I think Pointer just made another layup.
