Game Thread Lady Vols vs Texas A&M

[Orange&White]

We used to always be able to count on our Lady Vols. Now Holly has ran them into the ground too. Fire her!

Zero field goals in the astonishing last 9 minutes of the game ???????
If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it.

That foul on Jordan should've been a jump ball. They were looking to call a foul there.

 

[Spacejam]

What's the freaking point of having timeouts if you're not going to use them? just terrible. I'M TICKED OFF!

 

[volman128]

I hate Holly. Like literally. Hate her.

 

[YankeeVol]

The LVs aren't a good basketball team. They could be and should be, but aren't.

 

[Amb3096]

ya still think holly isn't the problem?

I know Holly is the problem. Unfortunately, she also got some big wins this season that will keep her on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

 

[Undercovervol]

That was a pitiful ending to a game. No field goals for over 8 mins. Just terrible! They slowed their offense down and stopped scoring.

 

[Volfan2012]

They got bashed on the boards had a chance to get the ball so many times failed to rebound. Three easy layups missed. Two terrible shots at end of quarters gave A&M chances to score and they did. This is what we do when we lose and it is really getting old.

If you're still defending Holly at this point please stop watching sports. You're doing it wrong.

 

[Real Info]

Russell acted like she was dying on that last defensive series, but was ready to shoot the brick at the end.

I hope she does leave early. Lazy as crap and can't hit a layup. I'm tired of watching her walk up and down the floor, giving no effort at all.

Diamond should have the ball in her hands on that last series.

Don't worry about telling me "don't watch then", cause I'm done watching that hot garbage.

 

[VOL720]

I'm not going to even get angry, they sleep walk through the entire game. Lackadaisical and no energy or fire. I'm just so frustrated with Russell! You have the potential to dominate, but you are so soft! Uugh! I try to be supportive of this team, but sometimes they act like they don't care if they win or lose!

 

[Amb3096]

That foul on Jordan should've been a jump ball. They were looking to call a foul there.

That was a wraparound intentional foul. She got a lot of Knox arm before she made her way to the ball.

 

[Gavolboy]

Need a new AD that has the guts to pull the trigger on firing Holly.

That's exactly the problem. :rock:

 

[clkou]

As bad as the Tennessee players and coaches were, that horrendous call by the referees when it was clearly out of bounds on TAM really hurt us. I don't even think we touched it at all let alone touched it last. Instead of our ball TAM gets it and hits a 3.

 

[TN1111]

The crowds will continue to shrink.. maybe this will wake up the administration

 

[Kaida71]

Why didnt she put meme Jackson in when a&m had the ball those last few seconds!!! Defense vs offense...she is a horrible Coach..she has absolutely no feel for the game...

 

[th2421]

All I can say is that they deserved to lose that game for not taking TAMU seriously when they extended the lead in the end of the 3rd quarter.

This keeps happening, playing not to lose down the stretch rather than playing to win. On the one hand, the missed layups are entirely the fault of the players, and on the other, I can't for the life of me understand why the coaching staff didn't call a timeout or run some plays AT ANY POINT in the 4th quarter for Diamond or Mercedes.

Middleton had a nice game but I would've liked to have seen Meme in there down the stretch - she did a nice job finding gaps in the zone earlier in the game.

I totally agree! Let DeShields make a play. Russell was lackadaisical and played lazy the entire game!

 

[VolnJC]

I really like Gary Blair..he's a good dude...said he was gonna go home, have some Colorado Kool-Aid and watch game film

 

[VolGee4]

I don't watch much women's basketball, but the only reason A&M got that last rebound was because a player had her forearm in our back and pushing. Seens they let them play late in the game. The men's game is changing.

 

[LA Vol]

Holly is not the right person for the job, but the players have issues of their own. No fire, no intensity, no passion. Other teams want it more, and the LVs hand it right over.

 

[volman128]

I'm pretty much done. As long as Holly is coach this program isn't getting my attention or any of my money ... it's just not worth the stress. Based on the piss poor attendance this year it looks like I'm not alone in thinking that.

 

[bobkitten]

This literally HURT to listen to. Such poor play!

I have a lot of respect for Gary Blair. His teams are usually disciplined and well-coached, and put out lots of effort.

Gotta go throw up now!

I am glad I didn't drive all the way to K'ville to see this.

They rarely slam their foot on the accelerator and take the game out of reach. That's why they let Mizzou stick around and lose to TAMU and UGA. Outside of Diamond, they lack killer instinct. I also have no idea why they completely excluded her from offense in the second half, especially when struggling to score.
