Game Thread: UT-Lady Vols v UCLA NCAA 1st Round

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

We're a real good team missing at point blank range.

Best game from KK in a long while.

I get tired of announcers talking about Holly don't know how to get this and that out of her players, maybe the answer is, resign and let someone take over who knows how to get the best out of players.

 

[BruceInLouisville]

Nice transition play! We need to run more.

Kennedy Burke UCLA 3 fouls

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I don't think this Lady Vols team could beat a church league team.

 

[Amb3096]

UCLA in foul trouble. If Tennessee can keep it close...

 

[james_govols]

I hope they can rebound.

It's crazy seeing the coaching differences between the men's and women's team.

Barnes has a strategy and gets upset if they don't execute. He wants them passing and looking for the good shot.

Holly has no strategy. She is more concerned with out talenting a team as opposed to out coaching them.

Is this poor kids name actually onion-ware?
Micky keeps saying it like onion -wear!!
Poor thing

Top 5 recruiting class and not even a top 32 basketball team.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Top 5 recruiting class and not even a top 32 basketball team.

Or a top 100 coaching staff

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

If by a miracle & Tenn pulls this out for a win they don't beat Maryland on Monday.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Evina often passes the ball low to the players knees when it should be at their chest. Our overall passing is sloppy and we need to tighten it up but it’s been this way for years now. Maybe Holly can fix it at halftime.

Finally, the female commentator said that Holly needs to figure out how to stop UCLA instead of scratching her head. Now, u see out point madam...

We won that quarter by 2 points after losing the first by 14. Our defense just not good enough to compete with this or most teams. Defense is pathetic and missed shots around the goal, over passing, and stupid turnovers. Just to much to overcome and it is the coaching that is at fault.

It's spelled Onyenwere and Mickey is an idiot pronouncing it like that

The only thing keeping Tennessee in this game is the poor shooting of the UCLA starting PG(2-14)

 

[djtee]

Collins is hurting this team on the offensive end and i`m not sure why Holly is playing her so much. You are gonna need to score and score to beat UCLA bad coaching by Holly

Let's see, that comes down to coaching, coaching and coaching... Yes our coaching sucks big time! There is NO hope for the Lady Vols as long as the current coach remains!

Thank-you Jesus and pass that cornbread.

 

[BUBear]

These girls are PATHETIC. They act like they dont give a frack. Send them all packing.

T for Texas,
T for Tennessee.

 

[Bighairlol]

I NEVER thought I’d say this, but Tennessee sucks. And it isn’t all Holly’s fault. Watch the girls play...they play like a bunch of high school kids. And, Holly surely isn’t helping. On defense, they MIGHT wave at the opposing player as she goes by. Allowing wide open lay ups is completely unacceptable and not attempting to rebound.....THEY SUCK!! It makes me so sad. I remember when.....!!!

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Holly and her Into the Spider-Verse shirt probably telling the team their doing a great job.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Thank-you Jesus and pass the cornbread.

It would be a good day for chili and cornbread
