The Lady Vols did not play like they wanted it and some of the subbing did not make sense. Having Tess guard Nye was a joke. At this rate all we can do is hope and watch. We may be on the verge of reaching rock bottom, the next 7 games will tell the story. However for 1.5 million dollars you should get more from this program than the LVs have been getting.
JP/KaiyaTess and Sarah are FORWARDS. Idc. I’ve said forever on here. You are what u can guard. The fact Kellie wants to play them at guard is negligent
It's not in her DNA to do that. She could take that kind of coaching but she doesn't coach that way if that makes sense. Good players don't always make good coaches.Listen I coached middle school basketball and football for over twenty years and I still have former players that tell me they miss my timeouts with unleashed butt chewing because it motivated them to reach deeper!! Coach Pat was great at that as well! Wish Coach Harper would try that sometime. Cal them out when they are not performing! Hold them accountable! Vent over!
The whole offense for Bama change to attack Darby when she was in.Teams already know when those subs are made they have an advantage and yet they happen every single game.
Then they sit there and act as if it’s the right decision and keep making the same decisions until the game is out of reach.
Recruit, recruit, recruit
Overall bad bad night. I have supported Lady Vols for many years and what were getting is not good and I have supported Kellie because I know she loves this program her coach built well its time to get angry Kellie and do something about this poor effort tonight and get fire in your belly to be relentless on recruiting trail. Just being a tournament team is not acceptable and got Holly fired and she reached elite 8's. In CHRIST Alone
The talent is there but Kellie gets very tight when her stars struggle and relies too much on the subs (Darby, Jill) to make up the difference instead of using them as just a short rest. U can tell in the first few plays if those 2 will be effective today or not. They also don’t need extended minutes.This just isn’t it to me. The program has had four first round picks in recent years and played the same kind of basketball.
Talaysia Cooper and Kaniya Boyd are both talented players but right now I have a hard time seeing them being played to their strengths.
Rickea Jackson, Rae Burrell, Jordan Horston, Tamari Key, Jewel Spear, and Alexus Dye all individually talented players and in this system they had to work for every single statistic night in and night out.
I never seen a team that made the game look so hard no matter if they were winning or losing.
You got to make a change at this point.
Tess gave up like 5 str8 to her then airballed a three when Rickea was posting up and I tuned out.
This games wasn’t lost because of the refs. It’s the coaching and players not caring at all it looks likeWell I was at the game I could feel they frustration but they let the refs get in their head but a lot of sus calls/no calls..I got a lil upset how Alabama coach was all on the court screaming at refs and they flipped a call because of it but overall missed a lot of chippies bad shooting night get it together n be ready for next game
Primarily yes but she played 10 mins too many. Jewell and Rickea and JP can’t have game like that being seniors and super seniorsLet's stop trying to blame Darby for the loss. She's not a good defender but only played 15 minutes. Our starters were the reason for the loss--they were awful in the third period--and we had many players with defensive lapses tonight. Spear and Jackson had bad games.
