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

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 better start winning some games I see at least six more losses on the schedule and that would give us 12. If we go more than 12 losses we may not get in.

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

That is a firing offense--that is how stupid it is. You don't give the other team points when you are down 2! I would list Warlick's deficiencies, but I have before and the can be summed up in a word--everything. She is bad at everything. Pls. give her a VFL hat and show her where the exit is.

I think Russell was really disconcerted by all the pushing from their huge posts. You have to wonder if she was adequately prepared for this with a mauling from the practice players this week. Nunn seems better suited to this type of play.

We should have at least tried a zone. They killed us with dribble drives. DD never plays man-to-man, and our remaining guards can't keep up with any other teams.

Look at Dunbar's shooting percentages this year, as well as her defensive issues. I wouldn't have put her in the game either.

We started the game like we were disgusted to be there. We had no energy didn't even attempt to guard anybody and ended the quarter down 21 to 11. None of these players seem to care a lot about basketball they don't put much intensity into the game for forty minutes. We played a good second quarter the other three we were just on the floor.

ND, AU, MSU, SC and SEC tournament are IMO guaranteed losses (11 losses)

TAMU and LSU are danger games that are 50-50 (13 losses).

Then you have wild cards like Alabama, GA, and Vandy II (16 losses).

If they make a Post-Season tournament (17 losses).

They have a real opportunity to beat last year's record.

The intentional foul had me puzzled too, never seen a team do that when only down by two with as much time that was left...better start looking at the wnit, as any team in the sec can take tennessee out on a given night..they may make a final four this season after all lol

It's a great day when the Holly stans comes to the realization that there is a problem with the direction this program is headed. I've been kind of eh on the whole situation but since the beginning we've been giving excuses after excuses to this team. We've grown tired. First it's the team is young, then wait until Holly gets players she recruited, wait until Diamond and Mercedes are back, now it's wait until the number 1 recruiting class arrive, then it's going to be well we lost Mercedes and Diamond that's why we're struggling. It's an endless cycle.

Realistically until the former Lady Vols and local reporters truly start talking about the damage Holly is doing to Pat's legacy nothing will change. She is too stubborn to realize she may be the issue (which I think she is) and that is the problem. Like someone with an addiction they don't believe they have a problem, it takes something or someone to truly show them there is a problem. As long as she has enablers in her corner (Former players who aren't critical and local reporters who act like everything is fine) nothing will change.

I know Candace Parker, Tamika Catchings, Chamique Holdsclaw, Kara Lawson and so on and so forth can't be happy with this band of basketball yet none of them have truly said anything, their assessment could bring quicker change than any petition/poster on this site.

Well I have tried to be quiet about HW. You can mark it down now that we will lose as many or more than last year. I will eat crow if they don't and I hope to have a nice big plate of it but I am not going to quit eating until that happens.

Can someone explain this to me? Were they just flat from the loss to Miss St?

That rumbling you fans are hearing is CPS turning over and over in her grave at the disgrace of this teams play. First and foremost the Lady Vols were known for hardnosed defense. 2nd they were known for being a top 10 team every year. 3rd they were known for traveling well as a fanbase. Thats changing as well. Where was the mass of orange in Oxford? I dont apologize for not being a Holly supporter. She has shown time and time again she is in over her head. This recruiting class coming in will not change the way she coaches. She is not a leader. She is a roll player coach. Sadly this will be the first year the Lady Vols fail to reach the NCAA tourny.

Offense is horrendous. Holly doesn't know a damn thing about offense. She had her chance to do something about it and hire someone who could teach an offensive scheme in the offseason but didn't. still trying to figure out what Lockwood brings to the table.

There are many things you and I might disagree about but what you said could have came out of mouth.

I'm concerned about Margo's mental stability after this loss. She may need to be put on suicide watch for the next couple of days.

I went back and looked and I am not sure that DD I think was trying to make a play. Maybe someone will ask HW in the press conference. Still a dumb play on DD part with that much time on the clock.

I believe there may be a hesitancy to criticize Holly due to the fact that Pat recommended her for the job. In turn, the media and former players feel they are attacking Pat if they do.
