Check the schedule. We’ve played and beaten them TWICE this year

You’re talking about the men’s team and I’m talking about the women’s team.

(Sigh)

 

[Vols2015]

Meanwhile touch fouls galore on cardoso.

And enough fouls on her not called that would’ve fouled her out by now.

 

[VolBall09]

cry more!!

Not crying, just find her tasteless as usual.

 

[Tnphil]

IIRC we played Bama on Feb 8th and that's the only time we've played this season?

Check the schedule. We’ve played and beaten them TWICE this year

We played them once, at their place, and lost. Are you looking at the men's team ?

 

[th2421]

No way we are winning this on the road. Kept it reasonably close but the officials aren’t having it.

Key and Puckett are the only two players with a positive +/- in this game, and they have 2 fouls each.

There have been some bad missed calls (and they should've reviewed that Watkins hook and...tackle?), but Cardoso, Feagin, Kitts, and Watkins all have 2 fouls each for USC. Even with all their post depth, we managed to get literally all of them in foul trouble (except Walker, who came in the last minute).

Cardoso has been Cardoso but I think us losing Pao Pao and Hall for a couple of open 3s hurt us the most and lost us our lead. Otherwise we're playing about as well as I could expect.

Not that it’s worth arguing about, but we only played Alabama once and it was on the road.

Generally Kellie wears sports gear on the road and a nicer dress at home.

I’m sorry I was and thought you understood I was talking about CRB and staff. They wear UT gear every game At home or on road

 

[creekdipper]

SC fans pretty rude to invade an opponent's forum and be taunting.

yes

 

[Deebowbear]

Hollingshead and Darby should have never been offered an orange jersey. Absolutely a disgrace. Jackson is the only player on this team that is good enough to wear an orange jersey. So sad we have fallen this far.

Guess what they be back next coach and all same sh$$ over again. I’ll have say spears is good player also but that’s it

Announcer so biased

Even the announcers are rooting for Sc, I had to put it on mute.

I usually listen to Brian R but can't get the stream to work today. This announcing is just hideously SC-centric. Probably sounded like that back in the LV heyday, but damn, this is brutal. Literally did not mention who the opponent even was in the pregame, finally a shot of RJ just before tip and said she needs a big game. About 3 seconds. Nothing has changed the rest of the game. I get it, Dawn is Goddess and they are omnipontent, but this worship is gag worthy.

You're a straight up embarrassment to yourself. Or you're on the wrong board. The LVs played Bama ONCE and lost in Tusc.

wondered when darby bassing would start; here it is

Not crying, just find her tasteless as usual.

That is an opinion. I found Kellie Harper just as clueless as the last meeting.

Mote’s a troll- disregard he/him/she/her/it

 

[glv98]

Proud of our little team, playing thru it all. Obvious hook and sling to the floor by the increasingly awful Watkins. Begin to think she was dirty player here, now sure of it. Classless.

Just keep playing hard, no one get hurt and let's get out of the Creepy Kingdom and move on.

It’s all they have

A little reading comprehension wouldn’t hurt you. I have been referring to the men’s team all along. I am fully aware of the games played on men’s and women’s side. The op said he likes the coaches to dress more professional, my point was CRB and staff wear UT gear every game. Wise up

 

[Orange931]

Gtfo if you’re gonna be an idiot on an opposing teams board. This is a UT board, you’ll deal with our crap and like it if you choose to be here.

 

[volnationnj]

Well, SC isn't shooting very well, but neither are the LV's. Have to do better on the boards. SC has taken 11 more attempts from the field. Very difficult to overcome that many more shot attempts.
Rickea HAS to touch the ball on EVERY possession. She can decide from there if she has a reasonable shot.

 

[Memvol44]

Has Spear done anything?? Big game Spear!!!

Of course you're talking about the men on the game thread of the women's board. Idiot.

True, although not as well as we're capable. Mistakes will happen, but we have to capitalize on easy opportunities (free throws, wide-open stick back, etc.). Hustling to overcome SC's size advantage.

Proud of our fight at this point. Hit a couple of open threes and we're right there.

I agree that Rickea should have gone up strong, but I think she was trying to draw contact on the layup. Hall surprised her on that one.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Call me old school but I’m still not a fan of the casual wear on the road. You’re being paid over 3/4 of a million dollars to be a professional, dress like it.

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.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Garth?
Darth?
