The Meltdown That Is Happening In The Lady Vols Forum

The LSU game was bad, no doubt. However No one could ever step into Pat's shoes. Just ain't going to happen ever. The next coach will do better.

Now, if you argued that the car you were behind, successfully passed and lead for minutes caught you from behind and pushed you off the road, then I'd say "no ****, Sherlock!"

But the fact that you started out behind didn't cause the wreck.

There was 3.4 seconds on the clock!!! No way could LSU have moved the ball and scored if our defense did their job of slowing down things.:good!:

Yes because one thing this team has proven it can do is hold a lead....

Gule, Your reasoning suggests that it only takes 4 seconds to determine the outcome of a basketball game, and that nothing that occurred prior had any bearing. Please explain. I totally understand how those last 4 seconds played out.

of course it was the last 4 seconds, that is when the lead was lost, ergo "determined". Anything prior to that is history.

The fact that a game is 40 minutes long is immaterial.

If I shot you in the head, lol, and killed you dead would the fact that I shot 5 times before and missed you completely mean a damn thing in the end?

How about...if we'd outscored them in the first half, quite possibly we would have had more than a 1 point lead with 4 seconds left, and a cushion even if a stupid foul was committed. Or maybe the cushion would have allowed more subs so the players on the floor weren't so tired at the end. Or maybe the timeouts could have been used differently so we would have had one left at the end. There are lots of reasons why that lousy first half affected the way the second half played out.

You've watch this team play this season... haven't you? They only really play for 20 minutes a game. If they out scored LSU in the first half, they would of taken the second half off and it still would of come down to free throws/decision making at the end!

It would mean you're a bad shot. :)

Ever notice when somebody has/is failing in their debate/argument that they start accusing others of being "childish"? Funny how that works, ain't it!

I guess that is easier than producing a valid response... :)

We have an terrible coach of a team that is playing terribly bad that is getting our storied program into a terrible mess! And it's going to be terribly hard to fix the longer we keep holly and it's just that simple!

Why play the first half if it has no bearing on whether a team wins or loses?

so, you're changing the goal posts? last resort!

your original point was that "the GAME was lost in the first half", which since the Lady Vols took the lead in the second cancelled out the first.

Now, you try something else entirely. tsk tsk.

I've not moved anything. You failed to answer my question. I'll make it easier for you. Did the atrocious play by the team (18 pts) and lack of coaching in the first half, have an impact on the final score? I believe it did. Did the last 4 seconds have an impact as well? It did, but neither was the sole reason for the loss. Can we agree on this and put this discussion to rest?

bull, we were ahead in the second half. the 1st half, bad as it was meant squat!

This what I took exception to. Your claim that the 1st half meant squat and the ladies only lost because of the last 4 secs. Understand?

I understand that you are totally wrong.

if those four seconds had never happened, Tn would have won the game, first half not withstanding, but since and only because those last 4 seconds occurred, Tn lost the game.

Just no getting through to you. The only reason UT lost was the last 4 seconds and the other 39 minutes and 56 seconds matter not. Do I have that right? Your logic is that what happen in the first half is irrelevant to the outcome. Makes no sense at all. i.e. Instead of scoring 18UT scores 26 in the first half. if the second half plays out exactly as it did, then the LV do not lose. Are you still going to tell me the 1st half means squat? That is as clear as I can make it for you.

if if if?

If I had a million dollars and you had a feather up your butt, we'd both be tickled.

The fact that tn scored only 18 pts did not mean anything once they went ahead in the second half of the game. Squat on that.

you sure were wasting time with that ridiculous premise that being behind before the game is barely half over was the cause of a loss.
