I believe the team played ball in the first half against Oregon State, as well as I have ever seen a Lady Vol team play, no joking, they played under control, players who have seemed shot less made open jumpers, and defense was fierce. I think good things are coming, and with a healthy team, that can really push every player, with exception of Graves and Russell, we will be better. I trust Graves will push herself. Russell is a project, but I have to believe she knows, the talent is there, when she decides to push herself, this team can become lethal, Personally, I would have her watch films none stop, and no practice, make her angry, because she has to know, she is a weak link that should be a huge strength. Graves need to push herself, fight, get fouled, and, unlike in the last three years, she is jumping this year, and shotting away from the basket. Furthermore Carter and Reyolds layups, misses are just not allowed, and I wouldn't let them practice with the team, but have them shootin them on the other end with contact. To whomever said Carter had a pretty shot, geez get glasses, she seldom squares her feet or body to basket, and never on layups, her passes are bad loobs, I personally would go with middleton at point, because neither of those two seems to want to fix their obvious short comings

The LV's defense isn't really very good. They have been beaten off the dribble and been beaten to the basket several times by Stetson.

There is a lot of loafing on defense tonight. No one is stopping the drive, they are just standing and watching it.

They have yelled at so much about not taking a 3 that Middleton passed one up and ran inside to get her shot blocked.

We have more five stars and taller players and we are only up 12 points. Russell allowed a 5' 9" player school her while she just stood there. This is not great basketball on behalf of the Lady Vols.

Nothing impressive about that half other then Deshields and Carter. Carter is a steady player at point guard does not turn it over. When the others come in the turnovers start mounting.

I think in this game the LV's are just lazy. Holly lit into them about half way thru the 2nd period. Didn't do any good. Stetson closed on an 8-0 run.

The sad thing is Russell and Graves can't score on these small players. Seems they need to dribble before they shoot which puts the ball down on these players level.

when will Dunbar ever get her game in order? She is SLOW, her motion on her shot has been strange tonight, and did I mention that she is SLOW? wasted scholly?

Missouri will be undefeated when we go there they have a much better coach then we do and it will be a tough game to win.

She has always been slow...but when on a group that can't make the 3, she could be the key to winning and losing a game (depending on what the opponent is giving you).

Greetings from Tampa. I have no idea why I wanted to check out the Lady Vols before hitting the town. Oh, yeah, I'm a glutton for LV punishment!

This team will go as far as Diamond can take it. Not one other player is worth the scholarship papers wasted on each. Yes, I'm disappointed in this sorry bunch.

Graves disappears for huge batches of time.

Russell plays like a timid poodle, and either Dean can't coach or Mercedes isn't listening when he hopefully says go up strong and keep the ball off the deck. Unreal how soft she is.

Dunbar is terrible when she misses her first shot; most likely due from unsupportive coaching.

Middleton has a nice shot but no other skills.

Cooper plays like a bull in a china shop.

Reynolds, I repeat, is a wasted scholarship!

Carter is one-dimensional.

Jackson is lost on the floor and has no bb IQ.

Nared is still rusty but showing not one ounce of improvement since last season. Another recruiting bust most likely?

Coaching staff needs to retire as a unit, apologize to Lady Vol nation and Pat ... and at least a couple of them need to consider another profession.

Other than the above Debbie Downer news, Happy New Year everyone. Go Vols, beat Northwestern. I sure hope the guys show more effort than these lackluster Lady Vols, sans Diamond.

God bless Diamond!
