16-8

Game was decided at the foul line. But we did ourselves no favors.

 

[Voluble2]

I am not sure why teams even bother to get up for us.

Beating us is not some great accomplishment and it has been a long, long time since we were relevant

 

[zaqhhh]

No reason to foul with 2.8

 

[tnvols72]

lol Hortson thinks she is in the NBA. Always trying to be fancy and wasted at least 7 seconds putting on her performance

 

[Switch 625]

This team has no clue. Dribbling the clock away…

 

[DarkPhoenix]

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.

I said their guards will kill us, and that’s what happened.

what a difference a point guard can make

 

[Gilmore]

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.

Just can’t put together a complete game.

 

[Vols2015]

Why is it we always play a team who has a player who gets a career high?

 

[sechamp2012]

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.

Neither did.

Bad coaching.

 

[Putbacks]

And a quality coach….

 

[VolBall09]

Nice of Powell to foul Morris so she could complete the 30 piece when the game was already out of reach

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Not sure why we took like 12 seconds to score a 2 point bucket then foul with 3 second left still down 6.

 

[Rons1989]

Have not beaten one team this year with a damn pulse smh......the hell with the toughest schedule ik team morale have to be shot at this point

 

[th2421]

I want us to be winning these kinds of games, and there are so many mistakes we made where we could've come back and won this one, but again, everyone acting like the program is crashing down, you do realize this game is on the road against the #3 team?

It stings because we lost some games we coulda/shoulda won early in the season, and we still don't have that signature win. We're still going to be 3rd in the SEC (in a down year, sure).

 

[Voluble2]

With no recruits coming in I completely believe you

That is what will do Kellie in. It gives the AD no reason to wait to make a change. What would be the point?

 

[Orange_Mamba]

With no recruits coming in I completely believe you

85% of the offense leaving might be 95 depends if Key stays. Kellie might beat Elzy to the unemployment line

 

[ARPfan4life]

Two National tv games against top 5 team and we lose both. Get outcoached in both. No wins against any ranked teams this year. Let's hope the tough schedule pays off in the tournament.

 

[tnvols72]

Say what you want and blast away but KJ was never the answer from day 1. No way TN womens basketball should be at the point it is at and its only going to get worse.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

It was not going to be an easy game AT LSU. How many thought this game would be close? It hurts more because we could have won, but we gave it away. Missed shots and turnovers, the stats will tell the story.

 

[RAVOL]

Free throws missed shots and three straight possetions Jackson and Horston turned ball over at top which lead to layups. Team is so close to turning corner against top teams but it's the little things that continue to beat you. Need to come home and dominate Ole Miss. In CHRIST Alone

 

[th2421]

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.

I think that's super unfair to Horston. She had an awful game tonight but she's been consistently pretty terrific this season.

Tennessee’s PG did her job. Probably Jordan Walker’s best game as a LV…maybe her career.

Gotta say Kellie did a poor job with roster management. Her sticking with Striplin to start the 3rd…yet again…cost them dearly in getting off to a good start in the 2nd half. LSU did whatever they wanted when she was on the court and didn’t make their run until Hollingshead subbed in. And in the 4th, I have no idea why she went with Franklin instead.

This was a winnable game, but yeah…not sure she had the right lineups in at crucial points of the game.
