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

[Chippo]

so sick of key.

Put Emily in,, couldn't hurt.

 

[Memvol44]

Lady Vols died when Summit passed. RIP Lady Vols

That's ridiculous..

 

[Bigkat]

Two thinks. Kasi is KK. And if you don’t have Davis, Horsten and Burrell, the team would be under 500. Well under in the SEC.

I’d actually take walker, Davis and Burrell

If they gave you one point for throwing the ball near the basket Tennessee would be the all-time bestest team of all time.

 

[SGMVols]

Honestly i haven't followed any recruiting.. Is it bad?

The incoming class is decent but not great by Lady Vol standards

 

[007Racer]

Rae and Jordan are good defenders. I’ll just pretend I did not read Rennie ought to be playing.

Well if you think Rae plays defense, then you've been drinking too much.

 

[TN1111]

We are leaving wide open threes because we’re two feet taller than them- we have to have more bodies for the rebound just in case they finally stop knocking down their 3’s.

 

[Amb3096]

When I say Puckett and Striplin will change how much better this offense looks next year I mean it.....Wish we could have them this year

Setting yourself up for disappointment if you think they will be better than what's there now. They won't be replacing Rennia, and will likely look a lot like Salary did this year.

Or Face the Nation....

BaseVols!!!!!!!!!!!!

a and m barely beat #15 troy. KY got their doors blown off by Iowa. TN getting housed by michigan.

 

[SGMVols]

Put Emily in,, couldn't hurt.

Emily can’t play. Honestly she needs to transfer down. Not an SEC player

 

[VolBalls33]

Props to Michigan, they wanted it more and scoured UT really well.

 

[Bigkat]

The incoming class is decent but not great by Lady Vol standards

True. We need 4 and 5’s that are athletic and 6’2 or 6’3

 

[casetopia]

rae made a bunny!!

 

[JohnnyPayne]

Not sure if Michigan’s players are normally better than ours, but they sure are this game!

Burrell, Key, Horston, and Kasi have hurt us. And we have to give them the minutes because they normally do better.

 

[Amb3096]

darby and rennie should not be in this game. rennie has not hit the three all season and darby isn’t ready.

Darby has been active on defense. She certainly hasn't hurt them.

Walker plays with so much hustle.

 

[VolBalls33]

The fact that Darby is in the 4th Q says it all. Wtf? And bricked a 3.

 

[Voluble2]

Honestly i haven't followed any recruiting.. Is it bad?

It is a LOT worse than what Holly was bringing in, and the biggest knock against it is that we aren't getting any interest from the elite players. Holly was getting lots of top ten players. There are some decent mid-level players Kellie has signed who hopefully will be better shooters than what we have now so depth will be better and maybe we will have some options we don't have now, but Kellie will be several years into her tenure with no elite player lined up to come on board --- and UT is easy to recruit to no matter what people tell you.

 

[southerngirl]

Has anyone every seen Kellie really "getting on" the girls during the game like Pat did? Just curious. I saw Pat one time jump all over Chamique for not playing defense and told her "that's your job" and then pointed her to a seat.

 

[lfvol]

Well if you think Rae plays defense, then you've been drinking too much.

Usually takes their best player but ok.

 

[RAVOL]

Finally a push call made on mich

 

[Voltopia]

I have no problem with Darby being in. If the other players can't get it done there's no reason not to give someone a chance _to_ get it done.

 

[Bigkat]

Darby has been active on defense. She certainly hasn't hurt them.

Walker plays with so much hustle.

I’d take 5 walkers the way she hustles. She gives it all she has.

can someone, anyone teach these girls how to finish at the rim. how many times have we driven to the hoop and
then had no idea what to do?
