NCAA Tournament Game Thread: (3) Lady Vols vs. (6) Michigan

Agreed. That was by far the worst half of basketball I've seen them play this year (though I missed the first UGA game). Some of it is Michigan's physicality, a lot of it missed open looks and bunnies, and even more is just too much standing on offense. Game is far from over and I expect Rennia to come out with purpose in the 2nd half.
Hope she does. Or her career at Tennessee is over!!

Poor play happen in basketball! Stop complaining and let’s just hope adjustments are made. Some of y’all are so irritating at times. They’re getting hit in the lane on drives and the refs aren’t calling it like they should. Michigan is being real physical and by the refs not calling it then it plays in their favor. Their star post down Walker down twice and the refs didn’t blow the whistle. She should’ve been in foul trouble by now. So that’s where the adjustment comes in. #GBO
 
I sure do miss the days the Lady Vols showed up to the NCAAs ready to compete and play their best basketball.

We are so offensively challenged tonight. 19 points. Started playing one-on-one-ball. Of course, Coach Kellie didn’t call a timeout to stop the bleeding and refocus the ladies. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. What’s new?

This isn’t the kind of showing you want if you’re trying to get top recruits. I’m really hoping we turn it around and advance to the S16.
 
Side comment: Take all the negative comments about HCKH and substitute "Holly" for them, and they would be the same comments people have posted on this board for years.

Do you have keyboard macros that just insert those comments for you?

No, we have to do it manually because the coaches used all of the macros to print out the same play over and over again on offense.
 
Zero, zero, zero, zero outside shooting. You have to have good guard play as you advance in the tournament and we just don't have it. What offense we have is just driving to the paint. Key is doing a good job and KK is doing ok. Defense is pretty good but we need a lot.more than that.
Guards lead you to Championships. In CHRIST Alone
 
I still can’t believe Kellie thought playing Walker, Horston, and Salary together was a good idea. You don’t even have to guard them.

The adjustment must be in the officials because we have not proved we want it bad enough on our own!

We better get five Candace Parkers at all five positions if our half court offense is going to continue as basically a one-on-one game

Funny we can watch the same game and see such different things. I see no lack of effort, hustle, or game plan. And Walker as a liability? Are you kidding? I see us playing good defense, easily good enough to win.

What I see as the difference is we simply can't hit a shot. Period. Plus the usual suspect of turnovers. If we hit a few early we'll be ok.
 
The refs are letting them play, I am of the opinion that's a good thing if called both ways. UT players just have to not play nice. But at the same time if UT can't hit a 3 Michigan can pack the paint all game long. I miss when UT had consistent 3 point shooters and more than just 1 player.
