We should have never slowed the ball down at the 2:30 minute mark...we had so much momentum...Samara had the ball at that time for an open 3....keep doing what got you there...these last second losses are killing me...I wanted them to see victory so bad today 😫

If you have the right coach you win more of these than you lose.

Kim can't lose these sorts of games to teams like Vanderbilt and be our coach. That is well below what is acceptable here. It doesn't matter if it is your first year or your 40th. She is going to hear about it, and she should.

Even with Vandy getting home officiating, she had every chance to win and more than enough tools to do it with.

Now she will go have her baby while we go on a losing streak and we will just have to hope we can get it back in the road when she comes back.

Just dumb ass luck or just snakebitten how a program as ours can lose on so many last second prayers! Go back to SC last year and it just ain’t right folks, bit that’s the game we play I guess. The men can’t seem to fare much better with the exception of Gainey’s last second shot against Illinois. Heartbreaks galore and one might think the law of averages might shine on the Orange and our fans some

Can’t put yourself in that situation. Play 40 minutes and this isn’t close. Instead we trot around, don’t defend and let inferior teams play with us and get confident. No surprise that confidence helps them in the last second of the game as well.

We have no idea how to win in late game situations, and it’s something that hasn’t been fixed under Kim. Still the same old 10-12 year issue.

I’m not taking anything away from the positives of the CKC era so far, it’s year one. But it’s exhausting that this issue hasn’t been fixed.

Also, Kellie Harper never lost to Vandy.

To be fair, Vandy was never this good in the Kellie years either

That does not matter at that point in the game. It was a charge.

Maybe so, as I said before. Failing to box out on rebounds, turning the ball over, missing layups, missing free throws etc. has nothing to do with the refs. You fail to capitalize on your chances and it can result in a Loss, as reality proved today.

Is Texas actually that much better? Or on par with LSU? This team has proven they will hang around in games no reason to be believe we will start getting blown out by like 20pts now.

Is that the lowest scoring total of the year? Didn’t see the game— did Vandy dlow the pace the whole game?

No not really we shot the ball like we never knew how to shoot it. Scored 5 points in the second quarter and at the time were 3 of 20 from the three and 25 percent overall.

And everyone lost their mind about Kellie Harper losing a game in the final second of a game to the #1 ranked team in the country. This is 3 games by less than than 2 points that we have not been able to close out and when it's Vanderbilt that makes it so much worse.

I get it and understand, but wow it’s uncanny how we let these games get past us. Same as the men yesterday that plays half ass and finds a way to lose it when they decide to show up and have a pulse

We've got to start playing 40 minutes of basketball. We need the recruiting class ASAP. Hard to sub 5 in 5 out when we have that big of drop in quality of athlete's. Let lesser teams stay in the game too long when the shots aren't going in. That doesn't let us get the press set up and changes everything.

All the stuff you said does not matter if the correct call is made by the ref. We were up one point.

They should’ve called the clear hook too used by Pierre to get to rim and get fouled for last free throws they had of the game

We’re never getting a call like that. Ever. So don’t even try to count on it. Would have been smarter to just foul the crap out of Pierre and make her win it at the line or force overtime. Might have been able to do it with enough time for one more shot too.

...This may be the worst weekend of TN basketball in history, men's & women's ranked teams lose to unranked Vandy teams on back-to-back days in Nashville.

All I can say is when we let those kids go 3 for 20 without doing something to try to stop it,,,THIS WILL HAPPEN

We are officially not hosting for the NCAA tournament with this loss as well. We aren’t beating teams like SC, Texas or UCONN playing about 25 minutes of actual ball. We’re gonna be fortunate to finish better than .500 in the sec at this point.
