WinnerCircle is obviously a troll. Think of how bereft of meaning his life must be. Spending so much time on a forum, with the sole aim of posting outrageous comments, in the hope of drawing emotionally charged responses.
So sad.

1000%. I don't know how anyone could miss it at this point. No one could be acting that oblivious without intent.

And his opinion counts to whom??

 

[Deebowbear]

I was impressed with : the team effort overall until they ran out of gas in 4th quarter against the SC depth and superior athleticism ;the scrappy play of Powell ....she kept them in the game along with Puckett in 1st half ; Jackson gave her all in this game and the adjustment made by SC Coach defensively in 4th quarter ( running another player at her to take the ball out of hands either by steals or having to pass the ball .

The LV's did win the moral victory but still ....imo .....have to win three of the remaining games to make the NCAA Tourney. The good news ...at least to me....is that if they give the same effort they gave on the court tonite against Vandy ,Texas A&M ,and even LSU they do have a chance to win those games especially if they can get more out of Spear and Key .

There’s no such thing as moral victory gets you nowhere

Who's Charlie Burris? And, actual question, what makes him "big time"?

We got pushed around inside, we aren’t nowhere near a top 10 team. We gave effort tonight but we are lacking at so many levels. Our point guard needs coaching and discipline in her game. Our team doesn’t play with a high basketball IQ and that is a reflection of the coach.

We are no where near a top 10 team, we have 7 decent players and that is all. Our bench is very weak compared to the top ten teams. I give KJH credit she tried to keep her best players on the floor tonight and that has not always been the case.

 

[Deebowbear]

Makes you happy??

Yep be lucky to one maybe one game

 

[JCP201]

Winner circle come in here and insults everyone over a women"s basketball game. To quote the troll: "it is dumb and unhinged"

 

[KrazyVolFan]

I only ask you then…..why don’t we have a coach that can recruit and have us loaded with talent. Oh….we have fans that are happy when we just keep it close. I just need to lower my expectations like most of you have. How far have we fallen?????

We are not in the top 25, we are a bubble team, we may miss the tournament, we may or may not go to the NIT if we miss. We did play SC tough for 3 quarters. It was a good game I enjoyed it.

For the Coach, the previous and more than likely current administration is not willing to pay the big big money for a proven coach. CKH might have been a steal and a dream come true or a huge problem to solve. I suspect so.eone is working the problem.

S/O RJ after tonight she proved not only to be the best lottery pick on the court but the true GENERATIONAL talent that will likely be even better in the WNBA.

Also, I’m looking forward to seeing Jewel Spear bounce back.

It happens.. got to move forward.
I believe she’ll benefit greatly if she returns for another season.

Her, Sara, TK, and the rest of the group is a solid core. Destinee Wells, Talaysia Cooper, and Kaniya Boyd are players I look forward to seeing this summer/early fall.

Tennessee basketball is one of the greatest traditions I’ve ever seen in sports. They don’t rebuild, they reload.
Lets goooooooooooooooooooo!
Lets GBOoooooooooooooo

May be one of his more modest posts.

 

[TnVolsX4]

I think that and the TAMU game. I don't think either of them are a gimme.

Great. Another chance to discuss Pissott and Shea.

Taking such fluff seriously is kinda like trying to pick up a t_rd by the clean end.

You say this but did you see what South Carolina did to a top 10 team just last Sunday? They blew out UConn and it was not even close at any part during that game. So you may say we're not near a top 10 team but in the same breath we have to say UConn is not either. This game literally came down to few possessions.

 

[knoxvol52]

Lady Vols played with a lot of heart and energy tonight.

Just came up short, they just need to refocus and take same intensity to Vanderbilt Sunday.

 

[joshwa]

Hard to watch those Carolina bigs lower their head and bulldoze their way to the basket without any whistle. I watched it happen several times. I had no idea women's bball was that much more physical then the men. They for real lowered their shoulder and pushed their way to the basket. Lady vols falling to the ground all around the basket. Unreal. Kelly should've gotten a technical for chewing the refs arse. But she didn't.

 

[WinnerCircle]

S/O to both teams. This was a solid game for WBB. SC won and that’s a credit to their team. I respect how they play as a unit. Their talent is severely overstated, yet they play a strong brand of organized team basketball.
They do have weaknesses and that’s how teams like Utah, NC, LSU, and tonight Tennessee who despite the strong effort and playing ahead or even for three quarters tonight did not play a good overall game.
From this point forward, any loss is unacceptable.

I couldn’t help but lol when realizing that for three whole quarters, the LVs had the SEC fan club and SC fans on Twitter mouths closed lol. Those folks did not say a word lol!

They were shook.. better thank that one cheating official..

But we’ll see them down there on their homecourt where it’s a lot less tradition in SC but we bringing that 8-time nat’l champions vibe. Lets goooooooooo!
Lets GBOooooooo

 

[Deebowbear]

Powell has been doing this all season. Run down the floor, don’t pass,and throw the ball in the vicinity of the hoop

Learned from the previous point guard we had

 

[And1]

I’m saying people are pathetic that think it’s good we keep it close with anyone. Just shows how far we have fell. We have all those banners hanging from the rafters and some fans are happy with us keeping it close with anyone. That’s just so friggin sad. Wow, I just can’t fathom any lady Vol fan saying they were so proud of our team for keeping it close. Geez

What a drama queen. Get over yourself.

And SC was without Cardoso in that game. She seemed to make a difference tonight!

Yep. Ultimately to me this was a house money game. We were supposed to get killed and made it a four quarter game. Still a loss and that’s what it comes down to, but there are some positives to take away. Just need to let this performance carry over to the next three, all of which we need to win.

 

[Volstylexx]

Lots of folks. You see, when opinions exist solely on a message board by a few disgruntled fans, it's a big nothing burger. When it moves into the public sphere it gets amplified. Then you see a crescendo effect occur where if the noise gets too loud, the administration has no choice but to make a change.

The only positives I can think of is they showed that they can play with heart, and that’s something they’ve been lacking. But a loss is always bad but on to the next game.
