Lady Vols need to improve:
Some of the problems they have are: First KK needs to be benched because she is a liability to our offense. We need to improve our defense especially letting the opposition drive down the lane for an open shot or we foul and our 3 point shot defense is atrocious. Last night against Mizzou Davis didn't have point one until half way through 3rd quarter. I don't know who devises our game plans but Davis needs to be more involved.

Another regular game problem is the lack of ball security. The LV have too many turnovers and too many steals off them. Recently there were two games where there was a total of 11 steals...that is not ball security.

I was going to say "men who don't appreciate bad basketball" but then I recalled how our men's team is performing of late so I knew I didn't have a leg to stand on.

It’s just a different game. They play below the rim. The ball is smaller which helps with their shooting percentages. But I sure liked watching them when Pat was the coach because their fundamentals were so good. Far better than the men Vols at that time. But they sure miss a lot of bunnies and wear out the underside of the rims. I just appreciate it for what it is. Sort of like the NFL versus NCAA football. The worst NFL team would destroy the best college team. But the competition makes the college game more appealing to follow.

So, explain my wife’s disdain for women’s bball?

I think it was when she was waiting tables at Hawkeye’s back in the early 90s and had to wait on LV fans on game days.

I love the Lady Vols. But some of their fans are worse than the dolts that post all the negative **** in this forum. For me it’s not one or the other. They are all my teams.

Edit: “this forum” was the men’s basketball forum before the thread was moved.

KK has improved a lot and doesn’t need to be benched. She needs to continue getting playing time because we are going to need her the rest of this year.

Our ballhandling has improved as has our defense and our turnovers have gone down.

One of the biggest things we’ve done is learn to win games. We may not have won every game that has come down to the wire but I definitely see growth in each of them, each game.

There’s a reason this particular forum has begun getting more traffic from the fan based of the other TN sports teams, and while it’s appreciated let’s also appreciate the hard work these ladies and coaches have put in to turn around the perception of this program in 2 years.

May we continue to see that progression this year and beyond.

The biggest thing I see is the lack of speed and quickness.... Many of their steals look to be caused by being lazy, but if you think about and watch closely they are just slow getting a dribble started or making a pass. As for slasher to the basket, they are just too slow to react in time and usually foul. Slow and not quick,,,, I see this as the biggest problem. They seem to know what to do when, but are just to slow to do it know....

most of their takeaways comes from not understanding how they happen.
Males react to the passer and steal off of the passer, while females react to the passing lane and steal off of the path of the ball...The pass is often open but the pass is floated instead of crisp and the pass is intercepted,,,,It's not a one hand-two hand thing (a bullet pass can be sent by one hand or two) ,,it is a speed of the game thing

I will admit that KK has improved this yr. More aggressive which leads to more rebounds and her shooting has improved to where she may be approaching a 50% success rate on wide open layups now. She is not the total liability she has been but would only be a relief role player on a lot of teams.

KK may miss some bunnies but that young lady is battling inside rebounding machine. As far as defense we came into Mizz game I believe 2nd in FG defense around 38% that is very good. And when you think that we have a very short bench as to who can play at SEC level i believe the coaching staff and players our doing very good things on the court. Sure to many Turnovers unforced that is the Achilles heel of this team. Please though look to the great things going on as we rebuild this Glorious Program. In CHRIST Alone

Let me fire back ! You talk about Kasi being a liability on offense. Then you should include some others Walker has not been lights out offense but she makes up for it by hitting the glass. Key can be a liability on the offense ? so what`s your point.

As far as who is better to watch at the moment, I will have to say Lady Vols becauae they beat the Chicken (#1) and have played around their preseason ranking. The men are overrated trash with a tired old coach.

This thread is a bit of a "drive-by-posting". Is there anything in it that has not already been rehashed ad nauseam on this forum? Though it is So refreshing to see people debating the merits of women's game versus the men's game. It is about time someone had the courage to speak out....

let me add a few others

And has anyone noticed some of the LV players roll up their shorts!!!!!!!!!

The LVs last NC was back in 2008!! What's up with that? The LVs need to figure out win another one. Maybe they should score more.....
