For a moment, on Senior Day, I thought we might just see Powell make an assist or actually hit a layup at the end of a guarter.
We had two 3 point shooters on the floor.

Not

Powell took 3 shots towards the end of the half and either missed them badly, or turned the ball over.

That was quite some terrible play by Tennessee thus far. Kellie calls for one shot and no one listens. Horston playing like a wild woman. Whole team has just played really bad except Tess who has done the job on both ends of the court. At least the matchup zone slowed down their offense when we could manage not to throw the ball away for a transition basket.

Auburn won’t be going anywhere. They are confident now. When you let a team get started like that you’re in for a long night. Going to have to start the third quarter with a purpose on both ends and close the game or we are in trouble.

Hollingshead played good too. She at least made 6 of 6 free throws.

They should let the men’s team borrow Darby for a bit lol

I don’t think we’ve had a men’s player make 4 threes in a half all year

Once again Powell gets the ball at the end of the quarter, never gives it up, and screws it up. How have we not learned a lesson by now?

They must not believe in the value of watching film. Grips, you only need to look at the last 30 secs of every qtr of every game to learn something

People just talk to hear themselves on this forum. Listen to the game announcers talking about Tennessee players and team you’ll hear the complete opposite of what is posted on this form. It’s so comical. The game announcers have raved about Jillian Hollingshead and Tess Darby this 1st half. You folks on here come to constantly slander every player that is returning next season. I sure hope the ones that are complaining will find another school to follow by time the season starts. I’m definitely looking forward to it!

You can thank Kellie Harper for this Jordan Horston performance.

If Jordy was a freshman and they were playing a ranked opponent, I would agree. She’s a 4-year senior though. Gotta adjust whether starting or coming off the bench. Turnovers, errant passes and missed shots at point blank range didn’t help. As amazing as she is, that’s been an issue for her even when starting.

But yeah, I absolutely disagree with Kellie benching her.

To me that sort of infraction is a couple laps at shoot around. Not getting benched on senior day. Just think it’s a little much.

They also talked about the 12 turnovers and bad decision making did you hear that part? This is a common area of concern because it has been happening almost every game we play since Harper has been coach. Like they say yes we make it up sometime with rebounding, but were not doing that enough today.

Because Kellie who “hates change” changes the lineup every game and inexplicably benched the best players for the dumbest reasons.


Clearly affected Horston’s head which has always been her worst enemy. Why make a snap decision over something so benign? Sorry but I hate that decision. Made a mountain out of a molehill.

If Candace Parker could take being benched for the entire first half in her home town game in front of 60 friends and family members, I'm sure Jordy will be okay.

I don’t think we can count on Tess hitting 4 more threes. We have to stop turning it over.
