Not looking good 25 percent from the field and not their defense. We can't make a shot around the basket or a three. A very tough day unless we start making some shots. We can get back in not shooting 25 percent.

Getting good shots got to keep taking them and crash the boards. The law of averages unless this gym has got them discombobulated

We aren’t pressing. It’s just a full court junk man. The problem has been not matching up with three point shooters in the secondary break.

Well you are correct .....the press ain't working.....therefore they are beating it with ease.

They also got double digit road wins against USF, Arizona, and a blowout against Miami. So that's data in the other direction.

But I get that you've already made your mind that the team that just held us to 26 on really solid 3-point defense is ****, so w/e.

Ole Miss & Kentucky are top 20 Net ranked teams while USF, Arizona & Miami are 70-80 Net ranked teams. That's a pretty big difference in quality of opponent.

Do not stop shooting 3's that is this team's way to get back in this game

100% this. If we get back to our game — press aggressively and let our sharpshooters hit some shots — we can lead this thing by the end of the 3rd.

We play methodically, we won't lead by the back half of the 4th. For one thing, our team just isn't constructed (and trained) to play that way...

Cooper didn't slow her player from coming up court with 7 seconds left. That was another play off she took.

Lots of problems with our fundamentals... not fighting over screens or hitting layups etc...

But when one team is hot shooting and another cold it is tough to win. We don't know what to do when the threes don't fall and they are cutting off our drives to the basket.

That player picked up her dribble for a tenth of second around 3 point line ref missed it. Should been double dribble

Disappointing first half. Now got to come out and take the ball to the basket. Get them in deeper foul trouble and score not using the clock. Get it Done GLV 💥

Vandy has played stout defense and ARE hitting their shots, so that does mean they've played a good game, and possibly their best half of the season.

That said, just flat-out poor shooting has been UT's main problem, more of a problem than Vandy's play.

Gah damn—coping skills are just nonexistent for some of you. I think if you overreact in the middle of the game you should be barred from celebrating if the team comes back. 😊

Irony is the ones crashing out are the ones who will swing wildly and proclaim the gospel of all things Kim in a couple of hours. Off the meds today.

The realistic goal for this team in year 1 was just keep the tournament streak alive. They’re going to do that. This was never going to be a Final Four team. If they had that capability Kellie would still be here.

I agree, doesn’t make watching a half life that any less frustrating though. We have a reasonably talented roster with the transfers. We pick and choose when we want to lock-in and play defense though. Which was a classic problem with Kellie teams.

Curious to see if that changes as Kim gets her own players. We need some kids who want to go hard every second they’re on the floor. Instead we have 4-5 that are comfortable taking plays off and not finishing easy plays offensively.
