We done...

 

[Vols2015]

Idk what it’s going to take to get this team to rebound, but these losses are going to keep happening if they don’t figure it out. SC and LSU going to eat us up.

Holy cow. The 1.1 curse will not die.

As everyone has said, it's just one or two little plays as it has been so often the last two years.

I still believe the big win is coming. But tonight was a great chance since we shot 50% overall and 52% fm 3. Only way we stayed close.

Great game, great effort, heartbreaking. Don't get easier.

 

[Orange.]

I CANNOT BELIEVE WE WASTED ALL THAT TIME FOR A 3!

I really think we should hit an open 3 from the corner. Chance at the kill shot. Not criticizing the miss. Heartbreaker.

Texas, though, can go straight to Hell.

 

[And1]

This just sucks.

 

[ShortyMac10]

We need a closer

 

[RespectAPA]

Only needed a 2 in that situation

Disagree, though I'm not happy with it being a contested 3 by Spearman.

You get 2 and your best case is OT, your worse case a regulation loss on Texas' guaranteed final possession of the game.

 

[Caz]

Chalk up another loss. Is this a TN theme?

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Nobody’s gonna feel sorry for you ladies. Suck it up and play better defense and rebound.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

We need a closer

No we need rebounders

 

[UT Challenger]

How many fouls did we have called on us????

 

[Voltopia]

Lost to Oklahoma by 1, LSU by 2, Vanderbilt by 1, and now Texas by 4 points.

Hate to be that team. And I'm sure the players hate being that team. They've done well to get to the point of being that team, but you have to be able to close to win in March. Gotta figure it out.

Also, just a reminder, this was a home cooked an officiating display as we've gotten this year. 2:1 on fouls calls in Texas's favor. 22 fouls to 10 fouls. Grating, but worth remembering in the midst of being jobbed like that.

3-4 in the SEC with SC on deck. Getting to 500 or above in the SEC is going to be a challenge. Making the NCAAT should be considered a success IMO. Go Lady Vols!

Yeah we’re going on a skid. Just the facts. We are not willing or able to play the defense required to win against quality teams.

Either this group gets together and makes a change or it’s barely making the tourney and an early exit.

 

[Vols2015]

I really think we should hit an open 3 from the corner. Chance at the kill shot.

We’ve done that now in 3 games and it’s not worked, so we just keep doing it until it works? I rather would have gone inside to get an easy layup and use as much time as possible to get OT.

 

[87&91ALUM]

76-80. Road games. Hold your heads up ladies.

Immature response. They are college kids they are gonna be down after a close loss. Get a grip.

 

[Majors]

Do we have a Majors/Fulmer situation?

Not here, but a nice resume game for her.

 

[Voluble2]

Vic was recruiting Cooper in the handshake line.

"Come here and the refs will protect you. Stay there and other teams can beat on you all they want."

 

[ttharp]

I’m so tired of this.

If we can’t close out games next season with better recruits, conversations need to be had.

Completely over it.

 

[hUTch2002]

Idk why our players look defeated, they literally allowed this to happen by not rebounding!

We are clearly improved and heading the right direction. To win these close games against top teams we need to be more disciplined, especially on defense and when rebounding. I like the overall direction of the team though and they easily could improve enough to make a run in March.

Feels like with more neutral officiating in the past 2, we would have just won our 4th consecutiv game.

Ha! Relax. Year one with a new coach.

They don’t read the board. Probably need to wait for them to get off the bus to get the message to them.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Outrebounded 39-24... You want answers why we lost look no further. Stat sheet is almost totally even. This is a major problem it seems like. It's really that simple.
