She got some key buckets and offensive rebounds tonight. She shot poorly overall. She just isn't a good shooter. But she contributed offensively tonight. I'll take it. Defensively she was fantastic.

Completely agree. I at least like that she’s taking more shots. That’s needed. They’ll go in in due time but she first has to just art taking more. But defensively.. TK has got it. Yes she fouls but she’s more active and I’m here for it.

Team plays extremely hard rebounds and plays in your face D. We are giving up 47 game against 3 teams that returned every starter 2 of which can be in the big dance. Missing your AA scorer. Dye is much better offensively than tonight no legs she needs to get in gym and condition on her own. Walker has got to be better and I believe she will . Last 2 freshman playing a lot of minutes. Go Lady Vols. In CHRIST Alone.

I think we can hold Texas to under 60 don't know if we can score 50 against them that is the problem. We were going to look a lot different with Burrell her loss has been devastating for our offense. Dye is playing well below what she did last season thus far. Key her best game tonight but she should've had 20.

Not taking away from their wins, but from the first 3 games I see this team doesnt make it priority to get the ball inside. Or even know to get it to the low block.

True and it is up to Harper to light up the point guards for that. When Key and Green are posting hard need to get that pass in there. Like Hamer said we missed a lot of opportunities to get Key the ball. She also got it a lot of times and didn't make the shot.

I would've pulled Walker earlier than coach Harper did. She should've been trying to get the ball inside instead of taking those shots. 0 for 8 0 for 5 from the three.

Yeah playing outside herself. Miles runs the floor best honestly. She’s calm, just passes the ball to initiate the offense, and doesn’t turn it over. She played 31 minutes and 0 turnovers.

Also saw her gather everyone toward the end of the game before going to the bench. She gave them some words of wisdom. She’s going to be a leader for this program.

Definitely not the preseason 2nd place team in SEC

Look around the SEC. Several other teams have incurred losses to much worse teams. South Carolina, A&M and UGA have played pretty well as expected but we’re right in the mix. UCF was a top 50 team with excellent defensive principals. USF is another great defensive team and a top 25 opponent. Our ugly wins are going to be called “resume builders” in March. This team is tough.

Pretty sure ucf was ranked number one in something defensively . They are very very good defensively

did you watch Texas vs Stanford recently .UCF does not play a tough schedule nor do they have the defense that Texas does.I will be surprised if the Lady Vols score 40 points vs Texas.....maybe if they hit 70% of free throws they might be in the game.

She played much better in 2nd half especially with the game on the line.

Dye is playing in a totally different system compared to last year. There wasn't a lot of ball movement at Troy, and almost zero half court sets. She's a good catch and shoot player, but she seems to be struggling with her shot in traffic.

I suspect the girls are having a hard time with losing Rae, they know more about the situation than we do so hopefully they are just psyched out and not gelling right now. Things we can control is free throws and lay ups, we have to be better. Some 3 pointers would be nice as well. I am very proud of the fight and defense we showed tonight, JH also made a splash and that will be beneficial if we get Rae back.

Exceptionally proud that Tamari played 37 minutes. Stayed out of foul trouble, double double, 6 blocks and a lot of nightmares for USF tonight.

No way she could give us that many minutes last season, just on conditioning alone. That’s a lot of getting up and down in a physical, defensive game for a 6’6” frame.
