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.

We had Brooklyn sitting on the bench would’ve gave the same offensive output and a better defensive performance.

Yeah it’s gotta be rough in that locker room. Idc how much the girls like each other. Losing to every decent team you play wears on you. We have yet to beat anyone of significance. Our marquee win is over Colorado who was down their best ball handler in Formann.

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.

Hollingshead looked tough and played tough. I was hoping Tennessee would squeeze every minute of play out of her they could manage in that second half.

Oh hell yeah I'm hoping for a moral victory. As opposed to another soul crushing moral beatdown? Yes please. I pray we keep it close.

Ya'll can sneer and" tut tut ain't it awful" and say "Pat woulda never . . ." all you want, but the last thing this team needs is another dose of whup arse.

Not happy that's where we are, hope it's not where we stay, but there you go.

this team should be seasoned enough that CKH doesn't have to call a play from the bench. Hollingshead was posted on someone about 8" shorter earlier and Walker just dribbled around and around, waiting for some other play to develop. needless to say, they turned it over.

Yeah…it’s like she was so fixated on what play was called that she ignored a gift sitting in front of her.

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.

Periods of brilliant play and then periods of brain dead play is just mind boggling. I like Kelly stretching out these last few seconds of the game to make the refs work a bit longer... they should be tired giving LSU over 30 FT to our 12.... saved their energy on our end.... To their credit they did make a few stupid calls on their end too. It is even crazy to be within 6-8 under those conditions with our silly turnovers, too many by our two best players.

So Poa can look And clap and get a tech but Reese can run her mouth and lick
Her fingers. The ref stares at her but nothing is done. Reese is a great player but not a fan of her **** show.

She’s a handful but Poa clapped at Puckett. Angel was guilty of excessive celebration at worst

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

Consistently erratic. She's had other poor shooting games--and she has had a number of games with a lot of turnovers. Good players don't play well every other game.

I actually feel much better about the Lady Vols after this game than after the UCONN. It looked like LSU was going to blow the game open on two occasions and we fought back. I think we also gave good effort for the entire game. Yes, there are many what if thoughts and some mind-blowing mistakes, but I really liked their grit and thought they showed effort in an arena that no visiting team will win at for a long time. The fact that Jordy and Rickea had subpar games but we stayed in the game with great games from Walker and Jillian was also promising.
