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

[Voltopia]

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

I'm not so sure about that.

 

[BleedOrange81]

UTC’s old coach with a better program and roster than us. Just don’t have the players to make a run at anything.

Wow Wow Wow what a game. Love the Lady Vols. As always go Lady Vol's.

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.

Once full of championships, the program is now full of moral victories. It reminds me of the Fulmer clap after turnovers.

 

[VolBall09]

To be fair, Powell probably got fouled on that shot.

To be fair it wouldn’t have mattered. Dug a 20 point hole, our fav trick, and then paid for it.

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.

TN enjoyed this advantage for like 30 years now you want to change because TN is not good enough to win home court advantage? Classic!

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

Tamari might be back. Rickea, I’ll surely miss!

We shouldn't have been a lower seed, but Kellie schedules in a ridiculous fashion and she has an abysmal record against top 25 teams.

Give Wes Moore her team and he would have gotten an even higher seed than he did at NC State.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Sitting Key was a terrible thing to do. The amount of times Kellie gets out coached in big games is criminal. she did this team no favors.

 

[RAVOL]

Gurad play was big descreptcy equal another loss in tournament this time round of 32. Kellie better get it fixed or she will finally be out of chances 1 more year. Losing Jackson she better hit portal big time lots of holes. Love all you lady Vols fans. In CHRIST Alone

 

[casetopia]

let's go Syracuse!

 

[Gilmore]

Proud of the fight in this team.
Rickea, what a pleasure to watch you play!

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

I don't think most do the poll was 56 to 43 percent. Looks like DW thinks we should stay the course he is the only one that matters I guess. Maybe a lot of input from some key people, but it looks like the decision has been made.

 

[VolBall09]

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.

Kellie should kiss her shoes before she leaves Knoxville. If Rickea doesn’t come back for a 5th Kellie is gone.

I’m still hoping White shocks the basketball world and makes the hard call. It’s time. This isn’t going anywhere. It may not get much worse but it dang sure ain’t getting any better.

Sure was, for NCSU...!!!!

 

[ShortyMac10]

I’m sorry I been riding with coach but I can’t I’m side eyeing now..kea didn’t deserve this idk why key wasn’t back in the game

 

[utVolFanInVA]

Whelp. Priority 1 is a pass-minded point guard from the portal, priority 2 is some kind of off-ball three and d specialist, and priority 3 is Doctor Ezekiel's "No More Crappy Quarters" Enlivening Powder.

Can TN get a PG that is not a smurf? The game has changed, need a PG that is 5'10"+ and athletic. These 5'5"-5'7" PGs are not able to drive to the rim any longer and score.

Kea is gone to the wnba

 

[DarkPhoenix]

This year we better not settle for just anyone in the portal like we did last year. Focus on our needs and get some elites.

Not a good look. That HCA is earned in the regular season.

Rickea can't comeback. Looks like she will be back has to be on the clock though.

I agree he isn’t going to fire them but I would be glad if he did.

We’re committed to seasons that look a lot like this for as long as she’s in Knoxville.

Unless we pull another portal miracle what we have coming back is going to be ugly next season.

Need to fix the year after year point guard conundrum.

When I said last year we need taller Pg’s people on here attacked me, I’m glad u see it the same way as I do.
