Game Thread: (4/5) Lady Vols 61 - Auburn 71

[casetopia]

On an unrelated note kellie is rocking some cool kicks.

 

[And1]

This is the game where our turnovers finally caught up with us.

 

[SGMVols]

South carolina will destroy us.

There were people here trying to put Horston up there with Aliyah Boston for SEC POY. That’s out the window.

 

[Jravol78]

So dramatic. In program history?? Lolol

Can you think of 2-3 worse ones ?

 

[10cpride]

This has to be the worst loss since Holly Ball. Will be remembered

 

[SGMVols]

This is the game where our turnovers finally caught up with us.

There will be more if it doesn’t get fixed. This has the talent to be a final four team but they won’t get past the round of 32 with 20+ turnovers.

 

[PerryCountyVol]

Now its over

 

[TN1111]

I had hoped and thought this program was getting some of that historical swagger back. This is not the end all…but tonight is a huge step backwards in that process. This is a real head scratcher.

These players have never been ripped or benched for mistakes, therefor careless play is not a concern of theirs. Holly wouldn’t hold them accountable, and now I’m worried that we have another coach that won’t either. I am a huge Lady Vol fan but several years of watching careless turnovers and bad shots, without accountability, has this fan frustrated!

I agree. I am sure they coach to take care of the ball but whatever they do is not working. Being last in SEC in turnovers is bad. Kinda remarkable we have only lost once. Obviously against talented and well coached teams we get beat because we do not value the basketball.

 

[Voluble2]

What this shows is that when Key can't play we are no better than the last place team in the SEC.

 

[UTtoDC]

So dramatic. In program history?? Lolol

Yes. As I said “one” of the worst. Losing to the worst team in the SEC who has lost 23 games in a row! That’s about as bad as it gets. Especially when you’re the fourth ranked team in the country.

 

[Nute Gunray]

18-2 is an excellent record, notwithstanding this loss to Auburn, Kellie has done an outstanding coaching job in 2021-2022.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

South carolina will destroy us.

Arkansas will too if we don't get ready for them on Monday.

 

[Gilmore]

Until we get a grip on our turnovers…

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

This was a TERRIBLE LOSS! We deserve this loss and honestly GOOD! I am one of the biggest LV fans on this board but we can NOT play like this! we just can't!

I have been tooting their horn but i am also gonna let it be known when we played terrible and we sucked!

Now how do you bounce back from this i have no clue but 1. can't let this loss become a spiral and 2. we have to come out like we are pissed on SUNDAY.

Kellie you know what you're doing but let's go we can't have another slip!


I know the trolls will be out so i'll say it 18-2 and we have some work to do. I can only imagine those that have been hiding in a hole how they will come out in force

Anyways GO LVs... GET BETTER! We have work to do and we can still make this season special!

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I've heard of letting a #1 ranking go to your head, but a #1 seed? Goodness. That's the end of that talk I figure.

This is going to be a bad loss, no doubt. But it's just one Q2 loss, which isn't the end of the world in terms of NET rankings and seeding. If Tennessee beats UConn/loses only one more SEC game (South Carolina?), a #1 seed is still certainly in the cards.

Much more concerning is that this roster is looking rough without Green, which will have to be figured out well in advance of Monday.

 

[JCP201]

Bad at the beginning when Coach put in people who don't score/play much when we had a lead. Missing Green for sure when Key is in foul trouble. Ray can't dribble.

 

[Caz]

We turned back into a pumpkin again it seems. We just came out and got outplayed as AU wanted it more. Tired of losing to Auburn in BB

 

[EnglishBulldog]

Interesting game. But Johnnie won this game. She's no joke. She'll be a nuisance for all SEC teams for years to come

 

[10cpride]

Now its over

Thank goodness!!!!!!

 

[Mr French]

Can you think of 2-3 worse ones ?

No they're just being sheep. This is easily a top 10 in the worst losses department. Is what it is.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

This will really help recruiting --- Auburn's.

Baloney. it's one win in a terrible season for them.

 

[volforlife10]

this fan base is so dramatic. we just lost a huge part of our team in keyen, and auburn absolutely came to play. not an excuse though, we should have won.

 

[SandyO]

I love Rae but when I think of this game I think of the bad turnover to end the half that resulted in a four point swing and the turnover in the 4th quarter when she dribbled off her leg. I think the girls were starting to believe their own hype and hopefully this brings them back down to earth and back to basics. Sometimes an embarrassing loss during the regular season can be the best thing to happen in the long run.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

Kellie has no clue at this point...

What is she supposed to do at this point?
