Game Thread: (7/7) Lady Vols 56 - (10/9) Connecticut 75

[sechamp2012]

If Connecticut had all their players healthy, it is scary to imagine what the score would have been. I am glad for us that Paige Bueckers was not on the
court.

You can just get 5 players on court at a time. Not sure anyone could have played much better today. If you take away that one set where they missed five 3’s I’d say they are way over average from 3’s as a team.

I feel really bad for the Lady Vol Alums who made the rivalry what it is watch this team get throttled while being coached by a former LV.

The program deserves better.

Not sure why Tamari is still sitting. It's now or never.

Eyelash fell off

Tenn bench gets it back under 25 with UConn stopped playing defense.

What a horrible game.

Bad sign when our best ball movement all day is Rennie to Wynn to Striplin for a layup.

 

[zaqhhh]

WHO’s would you like pulled? This is who we have at this point.

Saunders for sure. Rennie/Striplin probably need to be evaluated and closely looked at.

Some of our guards who are starting should probably be relegated to the bench and bring in some capable transfers.

Well this was disappointing. This game got me thinking about the entire Vols’ athletic program. Which will occur first?:
1. Football Vols in the playoffs
2. Men’s BB to final four
3. Baseball wins World Series
4. Lady Vols BB to final four

And we have arguably the best recruiter (in Coach Sam) sitting on our bench. Soon we’re gonna find out how much (or how little) that actually matters. The head coach has to close the deal. They have to want to play for the HEAD coach. Period.

But they wanted to play for the previous coach? Surely you jest.

 

[casetopia]

Can some reporter please ask kellie what the hell has happened to this team and quit ignoring it?

 

[Memvol44]

not a chance. she’s all vol.

NIL talks..

Exactly. Glad I’m not the only one that noticed. Needs to go full loop for the first two minutes of film review tomorrow.

 

[Amb3096]

Still not as much as Florida without Briggs. What does that say about how badly CONN is overrated?

That's a bit of a stretch. I think the more common theme is that Tennessee is playing like right now.

They need to get it together. Missouri's eyes must be getting really wide right now.

Baseball because I would care the least about it lol

We need to get back home and do some serious soul searching!

Today we stunk up the place we are so worried about losing we playing to Damn tentative!

Let me be clear let the haters come what may but i'm still rocking with the LVs! Looking forward to HOPEFULLY getting this taste out our mouths thursday!

 

[VolBalls33]

Dye 0 for 5 and no assists, Darby 0 for 4(and all 4 missed badly) with 0 assists, Walker 0 for 7 and 1 assist. 3 starters with a combined 1 point. Just ridiculous.

5. Volnation has a meltdown each year that all of these things don't happen

 

[TheMississippiVol]

A better version of this team barely beat DePaul by two, and they are up 25 vs. Tennessee.

Who is DePaul coach? That’s the difference right now.

Baseball. I’m down for that.

 

[Voluble2]

I honestly don't know why this game gets any publicity.

 

[GoVols15]

Face it! This team is not elite! Upper tier team but not close to winning ANY CHAMPIONSHIPS! Sunshine pumpers will disagree but this team and program is not elite, period!
Stuck in mediocrity with no reason to believe, at this point, the future will change.

 

[zaqhhh]

In all realism, AD White should tell Kelly that she has one year to bring in winners and coach them up or he will find someone who can.

This isn’t Lady Vol basketball and is an absolute disrespect to Pat’s legacy

You are asking for a lot, too early
1. 9 wins, includes beating gators
2. Elite 8
3. Healthy pitchers & wins SEC
4. Elite 8

You‘re missing out. They gave me so much joy watching them last year. Even drove from Houston to Omaha to watch them in the CWS.

From the waaay over the top biased Fox announcers to the home cooking, I knew this was a big challenge for the Lady Vols. Pat profited from these big games sending a message that if you want it you have to work for it. We have a lot of work to do. Those easy wins are in the rear view mirror. Now we are in the big girls game. We can do it. Let's see what Kellie can put together with what is left.
