Game Thread: Lady Vols v UCONN; Thurs. 8PM; on ESPN

[zaqhhh]

Yea this is it, next year we will be lead by powell and walker. No tournament and might even have a losing record.

In the age of the transfer portal, that’s never true.

But we do need to force some of our duds into the portal themselves

Jesus imagine if they had their full roster! This game wouldn’t be close!

It wasn’t close tonight either…

 

[Putbacks]

Geno backpedaling now….

 

[Woodrow Call]

Nothing like getting humiliated by UCONN on our home court. High hopes for the season dashed upon the rocks.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

There's no point to playing this series if we aren't going to win any of these games. I don't know how this gets better next year, either.

It gets worse next season,this was our last chance to get a win. Maybe in a few year like 2027 when we get a better roster.

 

[I4Vols]

And coach was trying to send Powell in for the last seconds...
I assume to drive to the basket and get stuffed

Geno needs to apologize to Holly Rowe! How dare he make an accusation like that about playing at TN at halftime, and I hope the NCAA investigates this. Now he’s speaking out of his behind to try and render a different tone than he had with her.

 

[VolBall09]

I hope Geno passes comfortably in his sleep.

 

[KB5252]

They scouted her moves and are waiting for them.

That last one was horrible awareness and you don't nonchalantly spin out of double team like that and expose the ball.

If that was scouting it's because she's careless with the ball.

Won’t be easy, we need at least 5 game changers to transfer here for a chance.

Can’t put lipstick on a pig

 

[Volstylexx]

Crazy to say it but I feel better about this team now than I did before the game tonight. They have the talent to get to a sweet 16/ elite 8. They ran out of juice in the third.

 

[Vols2015]

I hope Geno passes comfortably in his sleep.

As much as I have no likeness of Geno, this one is too far.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Well, hopefully we set the benchmark tonight for future improvement.
Plenty of room...

 

[djtee]

It wasn’t close tonight either…

My take away they beat Tennessee with just 5 players

 

[sisaq]

Congrats Uconn, great effort Vols.

 

[Nute Gunray]

Kellie, bless her heart, cannot coach at the elite level. Watch what happens when UConn plays SC. LSU is going to destroy the Lady Vols.

 

[MrBiggles]

We have shooters. They just aren’t athletic enough to guard or handle.

Have we set a screen for Darby or any of our shooters? I haven't seen one.

 

[casetopia]

I hope Geno passes comfortably in his sleep.

Woah

 

[volfan__18]

The difference is they have 5 VERY talented players, while we have 2.

 

[Sugaray13]

Geno backtracking now….

Trying to get out of a fine.

 

[Amb3096]

I think she just got in a zone May be biggest crowd she’s ever played in front she looked great unstoppable

Looking at her stats, she’s a super efficient player. She’s shooting almost 50% from deep coming into this game. Such a pure shooter, but she doesn’t have to rely on just catch and shoot. She can score on the move. Just a great scorer overall.

 

[SGMVols]

In the age of the transfer portal, that’s never true.

But we do need to force some of our duds into the portal themselves

Other than Rickea our portal additions under Kellie have ranged from ok to awful. She has to get off her ass and get some real high school talent in here or she’s done. And more than just one great player that we have to wait 4 years for.

 

[Caz]

Weren't we preseason rank 4? Now we can’t climb into the top 25. It’s really a shame and maybe someday it’ll change, but I’m afraid it will not with Our coaching staff

 

[Vols2015]

Have we set a screen for Darby or any of our shooters? I haven't seen one.

Darby has such a fast shot too! The thing with Darby, is she does not have a drive game, and that’s what all the UCONN players have, the ability to drive, plus shoot the ball outside.
