Can’t wait to hear how happy Majors is to see another fight back out of the team after being down 20 to an inferior opponent

Also, just saying, 20 fouls to 8 with 3 minutes to go.

And I can tell you right now I saw a few charges, including that push off shoulder tackle that put Boyd flat on the ground, called as blocking fouls.

It's not the only reason why UT lost today, but it is definitely a reason.

Yep it’s been a rough game with one sided fouls.

3rd quarter woes continue to haunt this team.
Maybe, possibly, we get in the NCAA tourney and win a game or two.
That said, with the great wins this team has had and pushing into the rankings the way they have, this season should be looked at as a successful one for first year coach in the SEC.

If I didn't think next season was going to be a lot better just because of the people we have coming back and coming in then I would say were headed for more years just being ok. If next season isn't a lot better meaning top three in the SEC then it will be time to worry. We got the best point guard coming into the program in the 2025 class IMO and four other players that are better than almost all of the players we are playing now.

She really can't rest on that and neither can Danny White. If he wants this program back to the top then were going to need to get the best players out of the portal as well. The AD and whomever controls getting the resources to get those players better come through. They need to be bigs maybe one elite shooter. We have to add two or three elite players and keep the ones we have coming back. I think that will lead to a lot of success in year two.

The ladies were very competitive the first 20 games but their last 6 or 8 hadn’t been very good , not sure if their fatigued , chemistry or just not athletic enough , they give up 20 + layups every game

The OOB call just cemented the BIAS for this game! Then… alas they call a touch foul on our next drive! So they are up to a whopping 11 for the game.

AS I typed the cut they lead to 7, within the margin of officiating. Proud of their effort.

Take whatever seed and move on with resolve.

Then the no call on Spearman’s shot with the blocker’s hand below her wristband on replay. Biased judgement to the end.

Hopefully this crew cannot call our NCAA games due to affiliation.

And then they didn’t called it again when she did it two more times against Ruby and Spear.

Evidently the refs have built that in to her offensive skills tool belt and letting her get away with it. Cant blame her for doing it any time she needed separation she did it all game. They let a lot go this game on both sides not much called.

Oh my! First off let me tell you how honored I am to sit here eating my lunch, making some trades and I’m on your mind. Thank you. I’d rather see a 20 point fight than a 40 point loss, but that’s just me. Not sure you can say inferior when it’s a 8/9 matchup and we are the 9.

Some part of the game always comes back to haunt you like when is was 32 to 31 Tennessee and they ran it out to 39 to 33. The third quarter when Cooper jacked up four straight perimeter misses instead of sticking with the game plan. Letting them score second chance points. It all adds up to a loss.

Do you mean 1st quarter? Without researching stats, I'd venture to say that the 3rd quarter was our best one over the course of the season. The 1st, on the other hand, was abysmal virtually every game.

Athletic enough is a big factor.

This was a fun season for a while. Last 3 weeks have been gut wrenching. Really embarrassing for the program after what looked like a resurgence. Unfortunately we are below average.

Should not be ranked in the top 25 right now. We just aren’t very good at the moment.

Never understand why a team that is behind
Fouls knowing that the team ahead makes the shots only puts the losing team farther
Behind. Never made any sense to me.

Then the coach better have noticed, by year end, what you noticed and adjust for the players she has, at least to some degree.
Last time I checked, the objective is to win games. It certainly isn't "to get embarrassed"
My opinion, you can have yours, but it will be Danny White's call, and I doubt he is a happy man right now

Look at it like this, we have the #1 recruiting class coming in with three 5* and two 4* players and we're gonna grab a couple from the portal, we're gonna be fine.
