We can't win without Cooper.

someone said we couldn't win with Kelly's players Cooper

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Truly we have a more talented roster imo. Just did not show up to play on both ends of the floor. This one isn’t about talent it’s about heart.

You keep saying that and maybe it will come true. OK has more basketball talent.

 

[volsagain]

Talent discrepancy is glaring

Team play is the difference. LADY VOLS will get better as the season goes. They have a veteran team playing team ball we'll get there by the end of the season.

UT makes dumb turnovers that you see in youth basketball games.

Yes - and fail to stop the dribble a lot like youth basketball.

 

[VolBall09]

Might give up 100 points today can't guard them and not shooting well enough to out score them.

Easy. Going to give up more than that at this rate.

Oklahoma had like 4 returning starters and picked up Beers in Portal I believe.

Not a devasting loss at all if we lose..

 

[Majors]

Getting killed on the boards 31 to 19
We are 1/5 at the line
4/22 from 3

Bad statline

 

[Voluble2]

I just saw two UT players rush to get out of the way of the OK player driving to the basket.

It was comical. Our attitude has been bad all day, and our decision making has been worse.

 

[Vols2015]

Time to put cooper back in and change things up defensively and offensively.

Losing by 20 at home will be pretty devastating to our net. Even to a good team.

$10 says we drop out of the top 25 because voters have no confidence in Tennessee. We’ve done this for years.

This is the key stat and is what Kim has been telling them.

Down too much now, if we come out of the press at this point we have no hope at all. Have to turn them over some at least or it’s gonna be a blood bath down the stretch.

 

[RAVOL]

Now the shots at rim not going in . Just one of those games. Good tape and learning moment to be humbled like this. Now you can either hang your head or fight and make this a game.

 

[mudcat1973]

Good bigs and athletic guards are krytonite against the Lady Vols. Oklahoma is only the first of the SEC teams we will face with this combination. I think a winning record in the SEC and making the NCAAT this year will be great for the first year of the CKC era. Next year, look out!

Tough games brings posters out .
Post more regular!!
If you want to.

Nobody cares what you say at this point.

 

[therealitytheory]

Coach made the point about how we come out flat after halftime in so many games. Guess we need to work on that.

 

[VolBall09]

Nobody cares what you say at this point.

Sorry for being right. Damn. If you know ball you could feel this coming from the first 2 minutes of play.

Oh no , the sky is falling. Surely you didn't think or believe Lady Vols would be a top 3 seed in NCAA tournament this year.

They will make tournament but I'm not delusional, there's more talented teams out there...

 

[87&91ALUM]

Beers is a beast. OK can shoot. We are good but, they are definitely better today. OK is also playing away on a day when we have fan support. I am impressed with both teams and hope for a rematch in the Championships come spring. We have a time left to turn this around and if we shoot 3s like we can, we will win this game.

They coming off a loss and we beat them last year..if we lose it’ll be a good wake up call

Expected us to at least be competitive on our home floor. I’ll never be cool losing by 20 at home to a team we can definitely beat.

 

[VolBall09]

Layup drill. It’s comical at this point.

pretty dramatic statement. Leading the country in several categories. 20 pt loss will not do it but back to back would do it.

 

[RespectAPA]

12 minutes is enough to come back. Need to start getting some backcourt steals.
