Game Thread: Lady Vols at No. 4/3 LSU; 7PM; ESPN2

[DarkPhoenix]

Angel Reese looks like a joke — maybe a slightly better Tamari Key…. Boston is gonna make her look like shite.

Players can have an off game, that’s when your teammates carry the load.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Ok I turned it off now

 

[SGMVols]

Instead of fouling we let them drain the clock all the way and score at the end. Just brilliant.

 

[tnvols72]

USCe will blow both of these teams out.

 

[VOLnMiami]

This team makes me depressed...It is just so far from Tennessee Lady VOL basketball as you can get.

 

[VolBall09]

Another quality loss in the books.

 

[Ovol]

Now press dumbass.

 

[VolBall09]

Horseshoes and hand grenades yall.

 

[ttharp]

This was such a winnable game. SUCH a winnable game. Poor coaching continues to plague this program. I hate it.

 

[Vols2015]

I’m not giving up on our team, because they would be wrong, but I want our team to understand if you can’t win these games now, it only makes it harder to winning the game later.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

This was such a winnable game. SUCH a winnable game. Poor coaching continues to plague this program. I hate it.

The problem I see with the coaching is not able to get a better roster, this roster is very limited by what it can do. Like I said before u will need Rickea and Jordan to have big games at the same time to beat the top teams.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Y’all think this is bad just wait until next year. Your thinking to yourself it can’t get no worse than this, but oh it can and will.

 

[VolBall09]

Love losing EVERY. SIGNLE. TIME. we are on national TV. It’s a blast.

I know the team hates it more than we do. Wish I had the answers for them.

 

[Gilmore]

LSU’s not all that…not sure what that says about us.

 

[Vols2015]

Jordan Walker came to play today, and I feel really bad that her production isn’t rewarded with a win.

 

[tnvols72]

LSU’s not all that…not sure what that says about us.

LSU is not even decent

Next year might be the 1st year I don’t watch

 

[Putbacks]

…and Ole Miss went to Arkansas yesterday and earned a victory in a hostile environment, so the wheels better get fixed in a hurry….

 

[Switch 625]

We had this game then just started playing sloppy. SMH

With no recruits coming in I completely believe you

 

[utkCREW]

They’ll literally lose to SC by 30 imo. Tho the Lady Vols will lose to SC by 40.

 

[turbovol]

I don’t know. We’re a generation away from losing the brand completely. Another 15 years of mediocrity and we become LA Tech. The name across the jersey only means something for so long. Just like football, you have to win to get the recruits. I think Danny White would make a hire capable of restoring the program.

Make no mistake: Our brand has already lost some luster; we haven't been to a Final Four in, what, 15+ years. And there is more competition
than ever.

Your best players have to show up in big games--and, unfortunately. Horston has been terrible--4-15 from the floor and the worst +/- on the team for the game. We don't have the quality depth for her to be lousy. It is amazing how utterly erratic she is.

Also, why has Hollingshead only played 17 minutes? I don't understand Harper. I presume she got 2 fouls early in the game and seemed to sit out
pretty much all of the 2nd quarter. But she's only got 3 fouls at game's end. She should have played more--lots more.

LSU won this game at the free-throw line---31 FT's vs. 12. Might be some officiating issues there--but mainly we don't move well defensively, we don't help well, we don't read the game well, and so players are out of position a lot and commit fouls. We won't beat anybody solid/good this year because we're a b-a-d team defensively.

 

[sechamp2012]

The players wasted it

A lot of players got lackadaisical with their dribble to Turnovers RJ & JH along with the usual suspects.

 

[ttharp]

The problem I see with the coaching is not able to get a better roster, this roster is very limited by what it can do. Like I said before u will need Rickea and Jordan to have big games at the same time to beat the top teams.

So you don’t think an elite coach could’ve coached THIS roster to a win tonight vs LSU? You don’t think there’s anything wrong from an Xs and Os standpoint?

 

[lfvol]

The inability to guard Morris was the difference in the game. She’s quick and has some skill. We have no perimeter quickness except Powell who played little and of course Horsten who has to guard others.
