Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs So. Car. ; Mon Jan 27th ; Home game; 7 PM Eastern; ESPN2

[JCP201]

I sure hope we are playing some easier teams soon. What a schedule.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Call me crazy, but I think we beat them if we play again.

Kim can coach and adjust in game better than anyone we’ve had since Pat, that’s for sure.

Team is having growing pains still, but man are they close to playing every quarter with the same consistency.

at Missouri
vs UConn
at LSU

good news, that’s the last 2 top 10 teams we face (as of now) bad news they’re back to back in next 3 games

 

[KrazyVolFan]

I say we don’t guard in bound and double up on someone.

I agree with atwist, switch on and off. Guard sometimes and not others. Keep them guessing

 

[ShortyMac10]

I like the fight back but we gotta be better like we just have to sec tourney/March madness is right around the corner seniors step up!!!..but I knew we weren’t going to win but espn had us at -11.5 and we only lost by 7 so did better than expected

 

[Peas29]

Spearman, Whitehorn, Boyd were solid and competed.

Latham gave us something extra on defense as well as rebounding. That can’t go unnoticed.

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

If the Lady Vols shots fall tonight they would have won the game .. cold shooting for sure .. can’t take away the fight with this team though ! On to the next game !

 

[VolBalls33]

This is SC closest win all year, any naysayers or NegaVols sound ridiculous. SC is clearly the better team and UT kept it within single digits. No one will want to play UT come March.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Made a nice comeback. Was under the point spread. Looking good ever in a loss. As always go Lady Vol’s.

Birmingham office hammered us on scheduling. No spreading out the toughest games. Isn't that 5 of 6 games? Of course the entire conference is tough.

It should pay off. I was proud of the way our ladies fought to the end. Scar couldn't break them.

 

[Unimane]

I think we will get one or both of UConn/LSU. At some point, we'll break through the ceiling.

 

[volsagain]

Spearman, Whitehorn, Boyd were solid and competed.

Latham was the surprise of the night. Played solid defense and rebounding.

I saw at the beginning of the game they hugged each other.
To be honest though, Tennessee is coming. You have to think about it most top programs especially those like South Carolina and Connecticut didn’t expect Tennessee to make this resurgence during their era.
When Coach Summitt and Tennessee was on top they were dominant.
They won 8 National Titles.
South Carolina is dominant but that’s led to 3 National Titles.
After the first 20 games and the direction of this program, I can realistically see Coach Caldwell winning multiple National Championships at Tennessee.

I hope we do win but I’m not convinced on the in game adjustments. When they come back it’s because the players decide to play all out. It’s more about them than this coaching staff. You can’t want it more in just the fourth quarter to win these type of matchups.

2 of 3 next games are against #6 UConn & #7 @lsu with @Missouri thrown in there. It doesn't get easier till mid-to-late Feb.

 

[glv98]

A weird mental game. Our scatteredness seem to throw them off the first qtr. Instead of being able to take advantage, we just totally lost all poise for the next 95% of the game. SC played well enough but I thought they were a little off the whole night. Even Dawn almost seemed not to be taking things too seriously until we started coming back.

Obviously the LVs aren't a consstent team yet. The same offense that's looked so sharp the last few games was horrid tonight. Couldn't have shot much worse all the way across the board. Late flurry of bunnies got fg% up to 30 and 3 pt % up to 11%. That was single digits much of the night. Won't beat much of anyone like that.

Always good to see the fight and the ability to come back quickly. But now forget this, go get some frustration out on Missouri. We're still in the middle of the race for the #4 SEC spot.

 

[VolBall09]

When it all comes together, it's beautiful. We just kinda shoot ourselves in the foot in inexplicable ways. We are SO CLOSE.

Close is the word of the season. It’s gonna work for Kim here. Idk if it’s gonna click for this team, but the team it clicks for is gonna curbstomp teams.

 

[Namorto1]

Kim has brought the program back to relevance, but someone needs to teach Cooper what it means to play unselfish basketball. It's not coming from the coach at this time. Talented but she lacks discipline on the court. I get it, that Kim is establishing a style of play and culture for the program but allowing this playground offense in the half court is brutal to watch at times.

 

[RAVOL]

SC is Elite numbers bare out how good they are and where we are heading that way. We are taking our lumps but love the future. Cooper did play with to much emotion but she has been really good for our team and this is all great experience for her. She will improve as well as rest of team. I for one am a Patient Man.
