Lady Vols vs Pittsburgh in the NCAA Tournament 2nd Round

Pitt was a really bad team and it took everything we had to beat them.

We will have to play a lot better on the West Coast.

A real concern that we can't figure someway to get the ball out of one players hands. We can't stop the ball and she takes it to the basket for several layups. I'm glad we won but that was ugly defense. One skinny player kept Pitt in the game until the final minute.
 
We defended well in the first half, and then in the second half we let a middling team with one good guard score 44 on us--nearly double its first half point total.
 
Tn is in last season form, letting one player(remember Maryland?) run wild on them.... :(
 
Holly will need to come up with plan B against Gonzaga, Moore, Nared will need to play big. What Graves has put on the offensive end it the first 2 games will not happen this easy. Gonzaga post 6-5 6-5 6-4. I think Graves will need to play much smarter and force the issue.
 
I wish our fans would stop complaining about the officiating and the announcers. We got more key calls than Pitt down the stretch--including some pretty crucial calls--and shot more free throws. It was a well-officiated game, in fact.
 
We were in position in the first half to have a very large lead then we started turning it over like we always do. We come out in the second half flat. I think we got a couple out of bounds calls as well. I think that last one was certainly off Graves. We move on but we'll have to find another gear to beat Gonzaga. The play in these two games at home will not get it done.

They took us to the woodshed and outscored us in the second half. Without our hot start we lose this game.

The most concerning thing was that Holly did absolutely nothing to help her team stop one player that was hurting us. I am not down her as much as a lot of people but just what exactly did she do to help us today? What did we try to slow down Kiesel?
 
Obviously they will need to start doing a lot of scouting on Gonzaga. they're much better than this Pitt team that did just play them close at home. they also shoot better from outside.

That`s what i said you can not allow one player to keep there team in the game, When you have a chance to blow the game open.
 
What's up with our team letting players have career nights? I think I've lost count of all the players who have single handily scorched us over the course of the last few seasons.
