It’s over now. What an embarrassing turning.

Another embarrassing loss on national tv…and just wait until next year. Thing’s really may be rough.

I said earlier this team will beat average teams no way in purgatory the beat anybody seeded 4th or better

 

[Vols2015]

I hope y’all realize, they imploded their lead with 2 of SC best defenders being on the bench majority of the 3rd with 3 fouls.

 

[Putbacks]

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.

This team is unprepared in all aspects…

 

[DarkPhoenix]

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

It is all hero ball.

Well we don’t have a Pg to get us easy shots.

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

Volnation forum posts with suggestions for improvement.

Team takes the personality of their coach.
Talent only goes so far- got to have tenacity and determination.
Harper was whipped as soon as Aunt Esther stepped on the floor.

43-15 run by SC in Knoxville

Possibly. It’s the little things that make or break a team, and tonight it’s truly showing.

How many shots have we taken that have missed the rim
entirely ? It must be in double figures. We're resorting to one on one basketball because we have no discernible offensive system.

I’ve always wondered!

It wouldn't have to be hero ball if we didn't have so many stiffs as a supporting cast.

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

She is a young lady who is mentally fragile from her playing situation this year I have no doubt about that

 

[lfvol]

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

Most teams don’t have five players touching the paint like we did in the first half. It worked for one quarter.

Ouch.

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.

I agree in part.

Both Tara and Geno’s teams built early double-digit leads vs SC and lost it. Gotta give SC credit. They’re an excellent second quarter/second half team.

I DO agree that Kellie can’t provide the leadership necessary to help this team play to its potential.

 

[VolBalls33]

Up 9 to down 18 on your home floor...smh. Take Horston Walker and Jackson and the test of the team has 9 points. Next year could be U G L Y.

 

[RAVOL]

I expect some in this game to struggle that our not athletic enough to compete but Horston has to be better. If she hurries her game against SC she has no chance in the W . She ca be so much better. In CHRIST Alone

Yes next year lucky to be an average team losing best two scorers and no recruiting class get ready

 

[Ladyvolfan4life]

You cannot tell me Ole Miss has more talent than this team. And honestly, I think the only reason we have done well is because Kelli was able to use the same strategy as Ole Miss. I am not even a huge fan of coach Yo, but dang, at least she kept her team in it.

 

[Putbacks]

Time for contract extension….

Contract extinction….

Another embarrassing loss on national tv…and just wait until next year. Thing’s really may be rough.

Another benchmark game for Kellie and as you pointed out another embarrassing loss on tv.

 

[Vols2015]

Striplin actually thought she was going to beat Boston lol

 

[SGMVols]

Striplin is the softest big I’ve ever seen in a LV uniform

 

[ttharp]

Karoline Striplin driving on Boston? Whew.
