I wish Horston was a better goto scorer. Horston is a great player, but her shooting percentage is too low for a goto scorer. Horston took 24 shots but scored only 19 points. That is too low, she should have scored at least 28 points. If so, then LVs win by 2 points.

It's why having RJ on the floor is so, so important. Frees Jordan to be Jordan.

Announcers mentioned Jackson's bad practice habits. So you assume RJ has a great attitude and Kellie suspends her without cause. You know what happens when you assume right?

not even 5 minutes into the game.
But it’s worse coming from fans on message boards. Rebecca Lobo tossing bombs on national audience in regards to Jackson.

Seems the longer this goes, it’s becoming personal by both. The longer she comes off the bench and has to be the subject of announcers talking about portal AA not practicing hard. Either she has received the message or she hasn’t.

I saw that. She had about three trainers working on it.

Personally, I like RJ in the role Ziegler plays for the boys. She gives us energy off bench. Especially, in third quarter there once Horston went to bench.

Bottom line...we couldn't hit a shot in fourth quarter. Stanford's defense had a lot to do with that. The skinny blond girl is very good on defense, and she shut us down in crunch time.

If Jackson doesn’t earn it in practice, great send a message, but time spent on the floor is part of earning playing time too. Walker & Darby played 50 minutes combined and combined for 7 pts 4 Rebs 2 assists. This has happened over and over the last two seasons. How come they keep getting these minutes?

Both Puckett and Walker got blatently shoved about ten feet almost into an official and nothing was called. Big credit to RJ for keeping her cool when Brink showed her skinny butt on national TV. Last thing RJ needed was an altercation. I'm a little surprised, Brink's antics were at a level I wouldn't have thought Tara would have allowed. Brink was classless today.

The shot blocking queen, Tamari Key never did that. Act like you've been there before Punky Brinkster.

Not to defend Brink, but Mummy & Pater were egging Princess on from behind the backboard.

The thing is she has to create every shot she takes, it’s not like we have a pg getting her easy shots.

Rebecca is looking for answers too
just like everyone else she has her theory
doesn't mean she knows everything

Coach and RK will get this figured out
to do so benefits both of them,,,not just one of them
they will get it worked out
they have all season to do so.

the season is just a preamble to the tourneys
as long as we are getting better and not moving backwards
and we're not,,,we just played #2 to a standstill for 3 Q's.
I am still 100 behind Kellie and will stay there until she/I decide differently

Good day VolNation,
I have been registered for a while now but decided to post today after watching the Lady Vols vs Stanford. I have been a life long lady vols fan but this team need a coach who can install an offense and coach defense. Also, her judgement in keeping certain players on the floor is very poor. Powell was constantly getting beaten back door by the much bigger guard Jones yet she kept her in. When she did take her out, she brings in Jordan Walker smh. Kaiya Wynn is a much better defender than both Walker and Powell. Coach Harper kills the momentum of her team with her constant substitution patterns. She didn’t kill Stanford momentum by calling a timeout early in their run in the 4th quarter.. Rickea was the reason you got the 8 point lead in the second quarter and you took her out the game.. I love Kelly Harper as a player for Pat Summit Lady Vols but not as the coach of this team. This team desperately need an offensive system, it’s just individual ball. Too many forced shots and terrible team defense. How can you not coach your team to defend back door passes which is a staple of Stanford’s triangle offense? I’m not bashing coach Harper in any way, the evidence is clear in the performances of this team against ranked opponents. Without an offensive system and great team defense, this team will not make the sweet 16 this year. She needs to let Rickea play so that she can get into a rhythm. I will not be surprise if many of the players on this team decide to leave. I’m pulling for the lady Vols but coach Harper need to get it together. Pat Summit went to the Chicago Bulls to see Tex Winter and Phil Jackson in the 1990’s to learn the triple post offense and taught it to her lady Vols teams. This Lady Vols team doesn’t have an offensive system and it has been killing this team the past 3 years..

I agree that it is about time that Rickea is placed back in the starting lineup. Rickea and Jordan H are a formidable force. These two need to play 30 or more minutes per game. GBO.

hard to play a player who only helps on one side of the ball… 20 minutes of play.. no rebounds.. assists or steals from RJ… she did manage to take 13 shots tho… made 6 of them..that’s a lot of misses and some were forced when she should of instead made an extra pass for a better shot.

LOL yes I saw that. Shame on them.

Shame on Lobo, who I generally like and defend, for saying "Block a Fool!" after an LV got blocked. I couldn't believe she said that. After commercial break, when someone got in her ear, she cleared it right up. By blaming her kids. Easily as classless as Brink.

We got called for at least a dozen phantom foul calls...I rewatched game and some fouls never happened, but were called and the announcers kept talking about sewing or whatever....

If we touched them it was a foul on us....They knocked the hell out of us several times and no call...Brink was the main bruiser...She was protected when she was needed..

Our pg's have to stop driving into the lane to have their shot knocked out like a volleyball....Kick the damn ball out to a wing shooter waiting for the kick out pass..

Kellie get off your butt and get a damn technical...Your girls were being brutalized and you just sit there again....Inexcusable!

I would never go back to Stanford again...The refs will see to it we lose...

No moral victory, it was just another damn loss.
