I wish they would hire the new AD Hart isn't doing anything except collecting money. We need to have an ending to this horrible play. We need new direction for this team.

DeShields was terrible AGAIN--4-15. She should try field hockey. She is embarrassing herself.

Russell was 4-14--oh, my.

Middleton was 1-7: a player who has no mental toughness, no confidence, no nothing anymore. And her backcourt mate, Jackson: 1-5.

And let's not forget our crap defense: We gave up 20 points in both the 3rd and 4th quarters--no excuse for that, against this team--and 21 in the first quarter. So our defense was BAD.

And we made 1 freaking three-pointer. For the love of UT, Warlick, pls. step down. Summitt should have resigned four years before she did, and Warlick should be coaching a rural high school team. That is about her speed.

A more disinterested group of players I have never seen. You would think that each one had lost their last friend and had forgotten how the game of basketball is played. Had we not seen so much of this,it would be unbelievable.

There doesn't have to be 64 better teams. There are ~32 automatic bids, many of which will go to mediocre teams. There only needs to be 32 better teams to knock Tenn out of the at-large bids.

There will be a hello lot more than 32 better than this train wreck.

With the way Middleton, Reynolds and Jackson have played at times Harris couldn't be any worst........Russell disappears in crunch time, she doesn't want to bang/look to get the rebound she stands around watching everyone else......Nunn wants to play more and should be yet she barely plays and the same with Dunbar.....It is really is puzzling

When you can't stop their dribble drive and layups with a man to man why not try a zone. We got killed by layups and Holly kept letting it happen.

Just got all settled in and ready to watch this one online. I counted this as an automatic win. I have scrolled through the thread and I am guessing a lot of it had to do with bad defense coupled with missed shots?

I wish I could figure them out. I really do. Watching game tape has to be exhausting for this coaching staff.

Basically, zero offense and bad defense. No pressure. Standing around, one-on-one "efforts," and no team play whatsoever.

Coaching-wise... after a made bucket we were down 2 points with 38 seconds to go. Who in their right mind would foul on the inbounds?? You play successful defense for 25-30 seconds and set up your offense in the last 8=10 secs in order to tie or win.

HW is terrible.

If we fouled intentionally, Warlick should be fired on the bus ride home. If we fouled unintentionally, then it was just more dumb basketball from the dumbest team in the collegiate ranks.

I don't understand the deal with Dunbar she doesn't turn it over near as much as Jackson and Middleton and Middleton cannot guard anybody so we need to give her a chance. If she fails she want be doing anything different than what is already being done.

We have players who are such weenies mentally---starting with Middleton but also DeShields, Reynolds, others. And Warlick. The program is in a sad state--been in a sad state for years. Pls. write Hart, as I have, and tell him we are not going to accept this BS any longer. When I tuned in, at the start of the 3rd Q, we had a 10 point lead!

After this mess I would say Holly is the biggest mentally inept coach in the game. She simple does not have what it takes to keep this team at the top ten level. Those saying wait for next year, you are out of your mind. If this team was coached better, it has the talent, you would see much better results. We have no leaders on the floor. It is so sad to see this program taking a nose dive. Pat's memory and what she did for WBB, and LV fans deserve better.

That was clearly an intentional foul. Now if we can only find someone to deliver the news to Holly...

I have to disagree with your last statement. Yes, CHW is a failure as a head coach. But the players are responsible for this loss as well. CHW wasn't out there jacking up low percentage shots and getting lost on defense.

And I disagree with you. With just a little better coaching we could have won this game. All on Holly!

In Russell's defense, it must have been tough with those two giant girls bumping against her and a clown coach who doesn't know how to not wear her out.

Noted. But Massey has Tennessee ranked in the top 25 and many of the higher ranked teams will receive an automatic bid from their conference leaving lots of at-large bids for teams like the Vols.

We fouled intentionally with 38 seconds left in the game down two. That is what Holly does stupid decision after stupid decision.

I am not Holly but the erratic play for the last two years staying competitive is all I ask .My expectations have been lowered to just that and hope we do not get embarrassed .That is a far cry from when I expected a win every time they stepped on the court but it is what it is....
Click to expand...

Bottom rung of the SEC, here we come! Holly is happy with the team "competing"...WINNING is taboo now, we're after participation trophies...not championships. Give all the coaches and players a participation trophy, and let them hold it up and show everyone that they COMPETED! This program is in a sad state of affairs!
