Game thread: NCAA Second Round: No. 6 Seed Lady Vols vs. No. 3 Seed NC State

[KTrain]

I wish the women’s game would get to where neutral courts throughout the tournament. Their not there yet attendance wise.Makes it hard on lower seeds playing on higher seed home court.

 

[LVol]

As we all have said , we need some athletes.

And Powell misses 2 free throws, apropos

 

[I4Vols]

Tennessee point guard's career in a nutshell driving to the basket and getting stuffed and missing free throws

 

[chuckiepoo]

Whew. Ova

 

[zaqhhh]

Stuck in Mediocrity

 

[Volfan2012]

Poor execution in the fourth quarter. We played well to get back in the game then just didn't make good decisions in the fourth.

 

[TN1111]

Typical March for this program now. I don’t get upset anymore since most seem ok with the decline.

 

[AllVol68]

I just hope someone beats South Carolina now

Another legendary performance from RJ that was wasted. She really deserved better.

The biggest difference was guard play

 

[JCP201]

So sad. By Rickea and Key. My two favorites.

 

[TNVOL68]

I miss Pat!!

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Got to go get better passers, ball handlers and shooters. We are woefully slow.

 

[VolBall09]

We were down 20, now it's 5. I think she's done a fine job in 2nd half. We got down to far is the bad thing.

Right but why do we need to get down 15+ every game for her team to wake up? Call a timeout and get their attention.

Anyway. Doesn’t matter now, long quiet bus ride home today.

 

[AllVol68]

At least they know longer have to wish they were on rocky top. Heading home

 

[VolBall09]

Got to go get better passers, ball handlers and shooters. We are woefully slow.

Not going to matter until we have a coach who holds them accountable.

 

[volmanNC]

The fat lady is singing......Lady Vols needs a coach.....

 

[Jravol78]

They fought to the end but 20-13 with a round of 32 loss is not a successful season.

 

[KTrain]

What an incredible second half. NC State won this with first half shooting.

The Key to NCS 2nd Q scoring without Key in the middle. 2 early fouls changed complexion of the game.

 

[Tnphil]

Good fight but we have to start winning these games....Too much talent to go out the first weekend.

 

[JCP201]

Typical March for this program now. I don’t get upset anymore since most seem ok with the decline.

I am not okay.

If all those people that didn't vote for Rickea on the All American team don't feel stupid they never will. I'm glad she came to Tennessee and she will be the reason Kellie doesn't get fired this year. She better find some players before next season. We don't have anyone to take up the slack for Rickea.
