Game Thread: Tennessee (17-10, 10-5 SEC) @ #1/#1 South Carolina (24-0, 14-0 SEC) 3/3/24 12:00 pm EST ESPN

So your telling me Jill was good to go after halftime and we decided to stick with Strip the entire 3rd.

 

[creekdipper]

Bree Hall shoved Rickea across the lane to get the rebound.

 

[Vols2015]

Even if we lose, when we got down by 16, many teams would cave then, but we fought and kept pressing. This team is much different than beginning of the year. Let’s hope they keep bringing this type of energy.

I’m really confused by that honestly.

 

[TnVolsX4]

Rickea just gave up back to back possessions

 

[VolBall09]

Best team thus far has been SC. They’ve played more together and we’ve had some players try to be the hero.

By far, they are the better coached, more talented and more team oriented club. Fun to watch, just wish it were us and not them lol.

 

[creekdipper]

Finally called Cardoso over the back.

It’s year 5. Also, this is Tennessee. There are no moral victories.

 

[Vols2015]

Terrible pass by Darby. What even was that? That was the laziest pass ever.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Cardoso fouled out, let’s go!

 

[SGMVols]

Missing free throws. Not boxing out. Bad turnovers. This team will always find a way to screw up a winnable big game.

 

[ttharp]

Debbi nailed it. Game slippage. Kellie’s teams just can’t put together a 40 minute game.

staying close with south carolina isn’t done often, so any sane person will take this as a moral victory.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Massive missed opportunity. Total collapse.

Better not say that on here get blasted

 

[Caz]

Wow, rebounding, boxing out is all about technique and effort. Can not give a team four chances and then miss two FT and have the usual turnovers and expect to beat a number one

 

[volnationnj]

I know their season shooting percentages are good, but SC has been awful shooting the ball today. Unfortunately, the LV's matched their shooting ugliness.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

I’m really confused by that honestly.

What was this coaching staff thinking? We could’ve closed the gap as they sat Kamilla that entire quarter. Kellie=Darvin.

 

[Voluble2]

Powell has never met a one on three situation she would not charge into.

But Darby is the one who really killed us today.

 

[VolBall09]

Glad to see Darius made bail

 

[SGMVols]

Debbi nailed it. Game slippage. Kellie’s teams just can’t put together a 40 minute game.

I wish it had worked out. She was a great player. Coming back from an ACL in 3 months to lead a natty run was the stuff of legends. But it’s not working as a coach. If we bring her back next year then we have effectively surrendered our place in the pantheon of WBB and have become Louisiana Tech with a bigger home gym. Next year is going to be awful with RJ gone if no change is made.

 

[AllVols3]

I'm the opposite, it's always been stupid to me that coaches dress like they're going to an office or like a lawyer. They're running up and down the sideline, sweating buckets and it's got to be uncomfortable. I mean Pearl sweat through his sportscoat here for goodness sake, how is that professional looking?

I will agree they could take it too far and need to not look sloppy but generally I think wearing team gear is acceptable and makes more sense for how active they get.

Whi freaking cares what you think. Always looking for some to be whiny Biatch about.

 

[VOLSBEERS1992]

Way too many players on our team that are very slow, don't have length, and also cannot shoot at all. Very poor roster construction around Jackson by Coach Harper.

 

[VolBall09]

I think we tipped that in.

 

[VolBall09]

Tess tries so hard
