Lady Vols vs. Kentucky Game Thread

[orangefloyd]

Tennessee is just another school with women's basketball. Nothing special about the Lady Vols.

It’ll take a prayer at this point. These Lady Vols gotta do better. That first quarter was murder.

 

[GetEmVols]

Down my 5 with 13 seconds to go and you throw a lay up? It’s desperation mode. You shoot the 3.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Not sure if it is coaching or just players not paying attention.

 

[Voltopia]

Accountability has to start somewhere. Somewhere.

 

[casetopia]

forget about winning on the road in the SEC. holly can't even win at home.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Lady Vols just not playing up to their potential.

 

[GetEmVols]

This team is garbage. We finally shoot a 3 with a second left. Just a low basketball IQ like their coach.

 

[coach31]

She will use the youth excuse. So tired of this....

 

[casetopia]

same thing year after year after year. but it's gotta be the players and not the coach right?

 

[djtee]

Would like to know how many unnecessary mins Jackson played !

 

[VolBall09]

17-29 from the FT stripe and we lost by 2.

That’s all you need to know.

This was a very embarrassing loss. Not because it's UK, but because of the players UK had on the court for the last 10 minutes. The talent discrepancy was enormous, and they still blew it. At home to boot

They need to get their act together, and fast.

Evina tried to take this team on her back tonight and pressed way too hard. No one could hit the broad side of a barn...those 12 missed FT's and/or missed point-blank shots really hurt.

 

[Sugaray13]

I can't believe they let UK keep ahead with Howard, Murray and Morris out for most of the 4th quarter! What walk-ons does UK have on the court right now???

Just goes to show how good coaching impacts a game. Mitchell outcoaches Holly from beginning to end.

Not sure??? Really? What more do you need to see? SEVEN years of mediocre basketball is enough for me to KNOW!! There is NO pride left in this program. If there was any... Holly wouldnt be the coach right now.

Should've never come to that though.. Way more talent, but UK better coach.

 

[volmanNC]

Has Holly been fired yet? Please wake me up when she is gone!

Kind of, he did some pretty boneheaded things too and his team certainly didn’t look focused. Looked like 10 chickens with their heads cut off most of the time.

We ran out of cupcakes to munch on.

 

[casetopia]

how many more garbage losses and pathetic efforts will we have to sit through before something is finally done about it?

UK did have a bunch of chickens on the court. That lineup had zero star power, compared to Tennessee's roster full of 5-stat HS AAs. And Collins was one of the few players who played hard end to end. Why wasn't she on the court more?

Given what Mitchell had to work with, that was a masterful coaching job.

 

[Coffy73]

Sometimes, if not most, the Lady Vols play like they don't have a true game plan. They're erratic, their passing is horrendous, same with the shot selection. Whenever they get like this, Holly is too busy on the sidelines throwing her hands up, instead of calming them down and making the right subs. No matter what type of players come in every year, this is the type of play you're going to get, always. When the Tenn. brand stops being a draw, players who want to grow and be developed will go elsewhere and Tenn. will go the way of Louisiana Tech, Texas Tech, etc.

 

[Orange Maniac]

There are no excuses for this loss. None. Out coached and out played. Nobody gets an out for this stinker.
