Uh, that’s literally one of the greatest athletes who ever lived. She can say whatever she wants because she’s already backed it up.

You are but an irrational fan without coping skills.

2 losses to Top 10 teams by a total of 3 points.
Every other game is a win and solid ones at that.
I have to say, this is much further along than I thought the Lady Vols would be at this point with a new coach.
Looking forward to the future!

Becareful ppl don’t want to realize the low bball iq she has …

We was up 2 with the ball and she jacks up a 3 and they get the long rebound and then fast break for the And 1 that was game..

Patently false. You need to research the validity of applying a team based metric upon an individual.

Do you anticipate Spear's +/- to begin to be positive throughout SEC play at some point? Again, 5 games against power conference teams, and Tennessee is -42 points differential when she's on the court, and +63 when she's off the court. I don't see any reason why the sample size isn't sufficient to start to make conclusions. She should be playing fewer minutes, at a minimum.

Duke cuts to three then Carolina makes two free throws.

This is not the end of the world .Plenty of time left to improve prior to NCAA Tourney .Just need to play better defense and rebounding.If those adjustment's can be made and execution on offensive end improves where they have better shot selection and share the ball better this team will be very dangerous in March /April .

Going to cut away now and go watch the Football playoff game ....ND/PSU .Good night folks.

The officiating was probably as close to even as I’ve seen. On those layups when the defender hands is straight up our players just have to learn to finish through contact.
We were literally a handful of missed layups away from the win tonight.

There were a couple of fouls that you could see clearly down the stretch and they didn’t call them. The Spearman Outback off of Spear’s missed layup is one in particular.

its not Kim… it’s Jenna. This is why Kim should have hired an older assistant/ or former Head Coach. Uconn/ LSU/ South Carolina have older Associate HC.

 

[newladyvolfan]

We will do fine against the bottom half of the league if the last two games are the standard and should easily make the tournament. Good game. Play a little bit better defense next time.

We are an Arkansas level team with better talent.

I saw that particular play. It was a foul.
They called it out on Spearman.
I will say that same call went UT way at halfcourt when Coop stripped Williams in the trap and found Spear in the corner for the game tying 3pt shot that made it 87-87.
They were trying to let both teams play some down the stretch but I agree it wasn’t 100% consistent.
Hopefully we can get to a level of play where poor and inconsistent officiating won’t set us back in games we give ourselves a chance to win at the end.

 

[newladyvolfan]

She cooked us all game though. I’d want her to shot FTs especially with how hostile the crowd was at the end.

Not shot free throws… but foul a couple of times to make her rush her shot

are you blind… watch every timeout and every dead ball. Don’t be clueless

Yes she’s up coaching, as is every coach on that bench. You don’t know what’s said inside the huddles. u just assume u do.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Well that was a horrendous take. With .9 on the clock you wouldn't even get a shot off

No wonder no one remembers her name. I surely don’t

 

[newladyvolfan]

What a Hard, Hard, Hard loss. Played behind all game. 1-2 in the SEC. Both loses at home. 13-2. As always go Lady Vol’s.

It’s a pattern… the girls are doing the same stuff over and over… either they are not coachable or our leader isn’t feared

Watch the games on YouTubetv…. Who’s talking and who is standing outside the huddle. Don’t be dumb

Still thinking 5 games is a big enough sample size to make judgments using +/- tells me you don’t actually care about understanding that stat

One of my favorite athletes of all time, but anyway u can be happy with losing, I’ll never accept it.

 

[newladyvolfan]

I have a winners mentality, because I hate losing. When u lose certain games it shows who u are. This is a middle of the pack Sec team. I’ve waited a while before I gave my assessment and now I have a good feel on who this team is.
