turned it on…. Then switched the channel. Team has been unwatchable the entire season.

Oof

I’m too young to remember Kellie playing, but she doesn’t come off as super competitive. If she was, she wouldn’t be giving all our girls participation trophies. You play your best players. PERIOD.

She played hard cause Pat lit her ass up if she didnt

If this team can build a 10-pt lead on SC, it can maintain it. Harper cannot provide the expected leadership necessary to help this team play up to its potential. She is in total reliant mode on the team’s individual talents.

No idea what you're trying to say. I need more booze.

Some fans here believe all negative talk resides here.

We only have 6 turnovers this game which is very good.
Unfortunately, we only have 4 assists which is very bad.
Too much one on one.

Once again Kelly let SC go on a run without a TO, this game is probably over, hate it, felt like the LV fought hard in first but seemed to melt down after that

You could called 50 TOs SC is just BIG & deep & when Cook starting knocking down 3s no chance. This team should not lose a game all way through NCAA reminds me some of Pats teams just so much better than all the teams. Just roll them out there. You could tell when down 10 Stayley wasn’t even bothered.

 

[therealitytheory]

We box out for sh*t.

 

[Vols2015]

Again, we just stood and watched a South Carolina player get an offensive rebound

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

It's gonna take an entire distillery...

Bring it on. Then take me to waffle house

They reduce TO’s by quick-shooting the basketball early in the offense. Pick your poison….Death by a thousand cuts….

 

[Sportslady]

When you commit to double down on the big girl that is the cost. Same defense of the first quarter.

SC never even attempts this many 3’s in a game……

Our entire offense is Horston/Jackson driving so no way to get many assists.

It is all hero ball.

What killed us is the fact we had breakdowns on defense leaving Zia open for 3 (she drained 3 so far) watched 17 SC offensive rebounds get pulled down, and missed several layups.

 

[And1]

Of course we get torched by someone who averages 4 points a game.

 

[TN1111]

Horrible basketball…

 

[Vols2015]

It’s over now. What an embarrassing turning.

 

[Voluble2]

Powell runs down to make sure she gets inside the circle to foul on the breakaway.

We play very dumb ball.

 

[Majors]

That sequence sums up the difference in the two teams

 

[Ladyvolfan4life]

Oh my word. Puckett didn’t even TRY to run after the ball.

That is true, Staley coached her team out of that poor start

 

[And1]

What could possibly be on those flashcards Kellie keeps looking at!

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Time for contract extension….

 

[JCP201]

Taking some wild shots. We played so well in the first quarter.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Refs are blowing a forked whistle on contact going to the goal. Not a difference maker but really puts their integrity into question.
