Boy that was disappointing. Our post game disappeared big time today. 4 pts and 5 rebs fm Key, Strip, and Jill. Not going to get it done. Setback for TK today. Defense was lousy but we could have overcome that with any iota of post help.

Great game for Jewel, tho that missed ft hurt big. RJ has to find a way to get more involved in the second half, tho she was giving up shots to Jewel. That jumper RJ missed that would have tied it hurt too.

Not one of JP's better games, but Kaiya wasn't that great either. Reffing was awful.

I don't think losing this one hurts as much as winning it would have helped if that makes sense. Margin for error even smaller now.

I’ll take Candace, the elite players still know her and are fans of her, that might help us get them here.

Sam would be the first one I would axe along with the other so called hot shot recruiter.

You’re delusional. It doesn’t matter how well you recruit if the top recruits simply don’t want to be coached by the head coach. Btw this loss was on the players, they cried for fouls all night instead of getting physical back and adjusting. That way you at least make the officials think to clean the game up which would have favored UT. They backed down as a team when they were punched in the mouth and it was just that simple. No dawg on the team even with a star like Jackson. Maybe Spears showed that mentality today, she played hard on both ends but no one else. You have to be a dawg on both ends and get into your teammates for not doing their jobs.

Q1 loss next game dipping into Q2 and it has to be a win at Georgia. All road games are hard, but we must have that game.

Maybe we need to go outside the Lady
Vol tree for a coach. I really wish Harper
Could have turned the program around.

Most UT fans don't give a crap about LV basketball. Doubt there are that many drive-bys. This thread has 18 pages... Men's game has nearly 50.

People are just fed up with mediocrity; any die hard fan should be too. If you think that was an acceptable performance, you're delusional.

Show me where I said it was acceptable. That has nothing to do with my comment.

No more LVFL. Gotta go a different direction.

Either that, or like someone else said, just admit it’s not a priority and that the university is happy to let Pats legacy be a legacy.

She’s just picking the wrong players, I think she realizes it now but it’s too late, next season we have a couple of athletic players coming in, but we will lack the elite star since Rickea will be gone that’s unless we get one in the portal.

Those types of impact players in the portal want to go to contenders. We are basically rebuilding our roster and trying to figure it out. That type of impact player likely has at least 10 better options to choose from. I doubt we get the impact needed unfortunately.

I really like what I’ve sen from Finley Chastain, maybe we lose her with the firing.

Do you suffer for the next 3 yrs to get the one? Even when our high school recruiting has been as bad as it has. We’ve been signing one recruit per class these last 4 yrs.

This is the stupidest statement i’ve seen. Real Tennessee fans love lady vol basketball. The fans who only hop on a sport when the team is doing good is who doesn’t. Ofc the men’s had a bigger fan base that is 99% of colleges out there but to say most fans don’t care is complete bs. You simply don’t have to post on a LADY VOL forum if u aren’t a fan.

Reading comprehension much? My post was to note that not many "un-invested" or "drive-by" fans come here after a loss to dump on the team. Those who take the time to post do so because they care about the team and the LV program. They have an opinion and don't seem to happy with this loss. Last time I checked, they can praise or criticize - their right to do so!

Like I always say, just watch the body language when they are down. Nothing changes in their demeanor, no fire no passion, no will to win and no fight. I’m not trying to pile on but I’ve seen the same thing for a few years now.

I notice you said “coached” by the head coach. Surely you weren’t referring to The University of Tennessee Lady VOLS
