It's great this team can dig itself out of holes. It's not great that this team is often the one digging those holes.

Those first half TOs were atrocious…

Nice win tonight SEC 1-0. What can you say but Rickea Jackson. Glad to see Tamari Key playing better. Kaiya Wynn and Jasmine Powell did well at the point. As always go Lady Vol's.

Look at these fans talking about 5-6 SEC losses with Tennessee coming from behind after bullying Auburn the 2nd half of the game on the road.

Yes, there are some hurt feelings tonight lol.

 

[TnVolsX4]

Clean up the free throw shooting.. I believe the turnovers were a result of a poor offensive game plan in the 1st half.
They had no answer for the LVs physicality.
Tennessee just bullied Auburn on their homecourt the 2nd half.
This is an encouraging sign.

One down and nine to go. Good win.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

YES!! Had to win and the Team made a comeback and never looked back! How about Tamari, what a great game! And Rickea took this game over!

Always good to win away SEC games!

GO LADY VOLS!!!

 

[Volfan2012]

We won committing 24 turnovers for the game. Amazing to win a game when you turn it over 24 and they only had 6 It was negated by their 25 percent shooting while we shot 50 percent. A really odd game and so glad we were able to win.

Heck of a night. Coach goes from Nega hot seat to Coach of the year for a miracle come back in the face of world class one sided officiating on our star.

 

[Volstylexx]

RJ can easily give us 24 and 10 a night. Only tennessee fans would be crying over a loss

There's a big difference in 24/10 and 24/20. That difference would change the outcome in a handful of games, and that is the difference between making an NCAA tournament and not making one. Hopefully, others step up.

One down and nine to go. Good win.

I think we need 10 more wins to be safe.

 

[LadyVol1908]

I’m glad we came away with the win, that first half was so depressing.

Key turns this team into a different defensive animal! She really changed the complexion of the game in the 2nd half with her extended minutes.

 

[VolBalls33]

Rickea is just so good!! Key getting back into a groove is a sight to see. Powell played really good defense and made some nice jumpers. Not often the home team has 30 more shot attempts and loses. I will take the road W and just hope to see this team gel and improve by postseason.

"I got good news and bad news. Grandpa had a stroke. The bad news is that he pulled through.

Beats me why the rest of the family is celebrating. Crazy...."

24 minutes from Tamari (quality ones at that) has the potential to be a season-changer for this team. I hope she continues to progress.

 

[VolFuture]

The SEC couldn’t have been better for us today!! Alabama, Arkansas, Texas AM, MsST, and Florida all took Ls today

Alabama MsSt and AM were projected ahead of us after non con and all took Ls

 

[Volfan2012]

Easily a 20 point win if we could just take care of the ball. Giving them all those extra possessions usually kills a team, but they couldn't shoot a lick and Tamari was a big part of that as was the zone we played.

 

[Volfan2012]

Next two at home and we need them both have to start 3 and 0

 

[mudcat1973]

Not at all. Just retorting the classic, "We're better off without you" mentality of fans who don't like to hear a differing opinion than their own.

No kept posting you could wait to end of the game to say Tennessee falling back to the after runs program wise.. just so know us Kellie's supporting posters will not be quiet!!!

 

[UT Challenger]

Hard to win with 24 to's playing against Auburn on the road and 3 terrible officials but they did. Glad to see Tamari playing like she is. Nice 2 woman game with RJ and Jazzi tonight. Congratulations LVS

Enjoy the trajectory of La Tech, my friend. That's where you will soon be.

Did someone out themselves as not a LV fan?

Very impressed with Tamari Key's fitness recovery. She played most of the game and it didn't seem to bother her. She also had several nice blocks and some fouls that should not have been called. Rickea Jackson was simply awesome. How we missed her early in the season. It made all the difference in the world.

Really strange game statistically. Plenty to clean the hell up.

he’s not a fan of lady vol basketball. he hasn’t been for sometime. he’s just negative. when we win he’s quite, when we lose he’s loud.

 

[RAVOL]

Much better 2nd half. Great to see T Key progress. If she continues bolds well by tournament time especially in a game of athletes were she has struggled some. Let's go Ladies build on this half of basketball. In CHRIST Alone

That’s a great post to explain how our fan base actually thinks.

 

[Volfan2012]

Game counts at a Quad one win for the time being depends on how Auburn finishes in the Net. Right now they are 61 would have to be at least 75
