Winnable game. Didn't.

I like Watkins a lot. Plays with a lot of pride and beast mentality. Wish we had players like her in the post.

2nd lowest scoring output for SC...something to be proud of. They pushed them hard, but their frontcourt depth was just way too much. I thought the guards would be more of a factor, but it was really decided by the play of the 2 frontcourts.

I thought Tamari could do more against Kamila, but she was barely a speed bump for her.

Oh well, on to Nashville!

If we could have shot better we win that game. Really good defense just not enough depth. A few were tired at the end.

 

[Orange Maniac]

Powell and Jackson turned this game over to SC in the fourth quarter. You can’t make stupid turnovers against number 1.

 

[SGMVols]

Pat is not here anymore. I’ll keep saying it— some of yall are like Bama fans for years after Bear retired.

Bama won a natty with Gene Stallings coaching them. They weren’t dominant after Bear left but they didn’t fall off a cliff like the LVs have.

Ultimately to beat SC we are going to have to recruit more talent

But we played about as well as we could given who we had

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This shows there's talent there. And to lay some of the stink bombs we've laid is inexcusable. This is a coaching problem.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Played them tight for 3 quarters.

 

[Amb3096]

Why call a timeout when you conceded the game letting SC run 25 seconds off the clock... SMDH

If they hit a 3 coming out, that would have been a smart move. Instead they turned it over and that's it.

 

[FlVols]

She's not, but as long as fans are alive who lived through the good days, she will remain the measuring stick.

Yes, I know Pat is not here anymore. My only point is that we don’t have her anymore or the top in the business we had for so many years. One of these years the LV will be back.

Powell and Jackson were the only ones keeping us in this game f or 3 quarters!
At some point cars run out of gas

She was IMO the best player on the court today.

We've gotten 1 basket from our bench tonight.

wow

You are spot on

Dawn's gonna steal all the Orange banners in knoxvegas.

Dawn has too much common sense to try that

Make it stop

I am so damn proud of the Lady Vols!!! I never would have believed they could have played South Carolina that close, especially after having such a terrible shooting night.

Love these girls!

 

[SGMVols]

Kellie is going to count this as a win. This is closer than she expected.

Made me sick listening to the fans cheering as the buzzer went off. They’re acting like we won.

 

[westtnvoljackson]

Not a bad effort. Just same ole pathetic offense. Jewel could not buy a basket so it was the Rickea show.

They played virtually the whole game. Powell guarded really well.

They denied her open threes and she isn’t athletic enough to beat good talent off the dribble.

Inept coaching
