If we didn’t have so many turnovers. Even without those players, we win. If Dye and Key reached their tourney averages this game, we win.

This team is it’s own worst enemy. We have a few that aren’t nearly as good players as people make them out to be. I know we lost some players but our play at times is down right sloppy. This team needs a reality check. They are struggling in the things that made Tennessee once feared. Clutch shooting great rebounding and passing. Moving and hustling. Relentless defense and a mental toughness. And yes Kellie Harper you need to figure it out. We need a center that can score and handle and pass the ball. That can move. Brigette Gordon would have had a field day against us inside. Now we have players that struggle with 1 footers. Yes it happens but we shoot a bad percentage inside 3 ft and it should not be nowhere near that bad. We for sure have gotten away from recruiting good shooters and ball handlers and our bigs right now are either young or soft. Dye and Wynn will improve. Hopefully our 3 injured will be back. But this team needs to fundamentally get better in all areas and learn how to play smarter. But with all frustration aside if we get our 3 back healthy things do look bright. We got some young players that should be ready and capable of starting or playing early and often. But our passing and lethargic play at times has to be addressed. GBO

AND PUT TK ON THE BENCH. She’s not motivated, she can’t make shots, and she can’t catch the ball!! She is not tough. She is just a fashion model.

I dont follow the lady vols that closely but

Wtf is going on?

All these coaches are given keys to a Lamborghini and have no idea how to drive it!?? No final fours in over 10 years!?!? How!?

It's like the football team but worse!

The two experienced ladies, one at point and one a proven scorer, joining us next year PLUS a 6'4" SHOOTER from the HS ranks will help a lot, plus we get Marta and Horston back. Like our chances next year a lot. Coach will need to establish a short leash for brain dead turnovers next year with plenty of options on the bench to send in there.

Many, many, many, many turnovers killed us. Also just in other pressure games we play like our hair is on fire and not under control.

You are right in the big picture scheme but I agree that Dye's forcing that pass (for no reason) shifted the momentu,. The LVs were down by two and had Louisville rattled and then boom a 3 pt play off the TO. It does not all fall on that one play but in terms of critical moments, that one does stand out. But without Snoop, the LVs aren't in the Sweet 16.

This game was lost because of turnovers, Louisville’s defense negated our height advantage and a lack of offense. KJH and her staff are good on teaching defense but we need shooters and to stop making unforced errors. Key is a great shot blocker but she needs strength and footwork training. She also needs to be more consistent making easy shots in the paint. I still believe that this would have been a different team if Horston, Green and Suarez were not injured. With what we have coming in, TK, Horston, Walker and Darby this will be a much better team. However, we must develop a consistent inside and outside offense. Something we have not had in a while. Just good defense will not get it done.

IMO, that turnover turned the tide of the game!

I agree but fans should not directly start posting crap in the midst of their frustration. We lost to a team that was a heavy favorite but the kept the game close despite not having our best player and TK having her worst game since her freshman season. I feel bad for Key; it was just on of those nightmare days that can happen to any player. But we have whole bunch of lame-azz negvols who are primed to talk crap about a team that has battled adversity all season. That reaction is Frustrating.

The Louisville game plan was to take neutralize Key by physical play and they were successful .The refs did not call the many fouls committed and Key let that bother her to the extreme.

Nah, I’m not about to placate these girls. We started playing to our potential and got within 2, then we just started doing stupid things with the ball. Like 8 straight possessions resulted in a turnover or a terrible shot.

We got within two because TK was on the bench and we had players in who could move, shoot, and make it. They could actually catch the ball and make points. TK is not tough; she is not motivated.

Other teams know she breaks down under pressure. She is not tough enough to hold her ground. In my opinion, she doesn’t want to improve. Just wants her hair & eyelashes to look good.

If i had a daughter and i read these boards i wouldn’t bring my daughter near this program. It’s fine when u make comments about how a girl played but when u make personal jabs. that’s out of line. Most of y’all are grown men. Stay out of a young ladies business

I wish somehow that the rare-posting, five-game-a-year watching drive-by posters' words could be in a different color so everyone reading this board knows these aren't the diehard fans being so awful. It's the ones who come along only when they can get a charge out of saying awful things when the team falters. They don't represent the entire fanship. Just the absolute worst of humanity in general, and most are probably not even Tennessee fans to begin with. Terrible people who want to sow discord know they'll have a much bigger audience this time of year, so they bring as much ugliness as they can while its fresh.
