Game Thread: (7/7) Lady Vols 59 - (RV/RV ) Florida 84

[Amb3096]

A little frustrating considering she shouldn’t be playing.

I think the COVID year of eligibility was a stupid idea. Of course Dye wouldn’t be playing for us either so I suppose it’s a wash.

Nor would Keyen Green.

 

[Tnphil]

Pretty clear they have no idea how to fix it or they would have. And that is a problem because turnovers are something you absolutely can control and improve upon.

Agree....and TO's been a issue for a longtime....

I think Kellie is paralyzed in fear that by chewing out a player they will transfer.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Let the chips fall where they may.

Remember when Pat took their names off their backs & took locker rooms away

Well I didn't see the game or follow it since
I was occupied all afternoon but i hope that
this isn't a replay of Holly's last season as
coach. Love the team. Maybe Losing Green
was a blow. Something for sure is out of kilter.

 

[Aladywhovolunteer]

We have talent but currently we lack discipline and that's on the coach. I've never seen Kellie light one of her players up and maybe thats not her style - but the turnovers are glaring and they're not going away.

And Key intentionally took herself out with that 4th foul - she wanted out. That kind of stuff can't be allowed, coach. And she walked by you and you said zip.

You make some very good points. However. I think fatigue was the cause of Key's fourth foul. She was struggling with the number of continuous minutes.

Key is one of the most talented defensive players in the country. FL has NO ONE that affects teams defensively like she does, and nationally probably only Aliyah Boston and Cameron Brink consistently do the same. That's a huge weapon for Tennessee

This has not been the case since her injury. She no longer comes out on players and allows there to be a lot more distance between her and the offensive player. She is not playing aggressively at all.

There are several players not putting out the effort they were before. Walker is another one who comes and goes.

She's not if you haven"t noticed.

 

[J-Dog 1313]

I still LOVE the Tennessee Lady Vol's. I always will. As always go Lady Vols.

You flush this loss and get ready for UConn and then move on to the rest of the SEC schedule. GBO.

[spoton]

By this time of the season, Key should not be struggling mor should any other player. Did any of FL girls look like they were struggling? Heck no! This is FEBRUARY! March is just around the corner!!

 

[Gilmore]

An offensive system better than what we run now is needed. Defense and rebounding now HAS to be combined with a good offense in today's game.

This! We have to update what we are doing. We should have several scoring in double digits each game with the talent we have.

That is not lack of aggression that is coach directed spacing (in my opinion) to keep her in the game.

Kellie was mentally tough, but sadly, none of that has rubbed off on this group. They play soft, and all the opponents have found that if they put pressure on us, we fall apart. Sad.

 

[djtee]

Green is a big loss, but it's inexcusable for them to have fallen so far because of that

Yes Green was a big loss but as we all say next man women or player up. Emily did not look to bad tonight she a a nice putback when she was in the game. I can see why Kellie don`t play Striplin and this is not a dig at Striplin. But she is a long way from being a low post threat on the offensive and defensive end just not skilled enough from what i see.

 

[Voluble2]

I always responded well to being yelled at.

You have to recruit for that mentality because it is not as common these days. Kids have their self-esteem stroked from the cradle to college and are never held to performance standards and yelled at for missing them.

This is true!

 

[ncteacher88]

Would not surprise me to see Bueckers trot out there Sunday and score 40.

Little to no chance she plays. Not even doing serious conditioning yet. Her father says he does not want her rushed back into the action.

 

[VolBall09]

Horston should not have re-entered the game tonight IMO.

She has to understand how important she is to this team. Her third foul was stupid, and definitely a foul, then she argued with the official about it.

It was obvious we weren’t going to win this one at that point. Kellie should have made her come stand right beside her and point out every play where she could have made a difference.

 

[Govols922]

I didn’t watch the game but I think this team was tired from the Arkansas game.

But that’s still no excuse NOT to compete

I do agree with that. I was worried about fatigue. That was a game with a sh!t ton of possession and an overtime. We have several players with chronic/nagging injuries. Think that played a part in the slow start. We got behind and UF is confident right now. They went ahead and poured it on.

Everyone is ready to hand Finley the SEC trophy for not being dead last in the SEC. She better enjoy this season though because next year is going to be ugly for them.

Must we fire Holly again to right this ship? j/k




This is the most disappointing loss in recent memory to me, even worse than Michigan last season. having my gator grad son laffing in the background as I was cussing my head off at the lack of cohesion in the LV team effort was hard to take. 25 pt loss to flawdaa? OMG

 

[therealitytheory]

The odd thing - Pat used to chew Kellie out unmercifully....and KH was damn good. A lot better than what we're getting from our guards now. Yet Kellie has zero interest in getting in anyone's grill.

Yea that Michigan game still eats at me! Florida exposed us terribly today. I think in order to make a final four our turnovers have to go down. This isnt a final four team with this many turnovers

Good post
