Been to three games this season.

I'm not really aware of any specific numbers, but The ladies do not pass the eye test.

There is no hunger there is no Drive there is no intensity with this team...

It really is a shame to see the lady vols looking the way they have this season... I'm been watching the lady balls since Kelly Jolly and Chamiqua Holdsclaw ( typing on my phone... Sorry for butchering your name )

It seems like they have 0 offensive scheme or play calling... No screens so our guards can cut into the lane...

The university is lucky that our ladies basketball team has such huge support and Fanbase. We will see how long that lasts with him playing and being coached like this...

For the 1st time this year, after a game I am pissed off. We flat out sucked in every facet of the game. Carter is useless. Reynolds is lazy. Graves is no leader. This must become Russell and Deshields team for us to get it together. I'll give Cooper a pass solely because she is a freshmen. I am truly furious

Sad thing as well is that Mercedes has no support in the post... Our history has been a two post roster and we can't even recruit well enough to get one of the three viable posts in this year's recruiting class (even tho these senior high school posts know they could possibly get immediate playing time)

To add to that... Russell often plays soft, and often gets outmuscled when playing a more stronger inside opponent.

Sluggish! No determination! When was the last time the Lady Vols scored under 50? No way they should do that!

We need to go faster. Speed up the game and play in the full court. We will get many more layups and take advantage of our guard talent. We cannot keep slowing the game down to run this crappy offense!

This team is totally offensively challenged. Other than Deshields and Russell no one can score. I think Reynolds, Cooper, and Carter shot ten air balls today.

Dean Lockwood is the worst post coach in the country...

Fire Holly. Put her on alert now that it's SEC championship and Elite 8 or she's gone.

We've been a badly coached team for a very long time.

Holly would have us believe that it is all about effort and desire..... being relentless..... playing with heart..... well this is some of it...... but main problem is with coaching and specifically coaching the fundamentals..... going a step further fundamentals on offense..... it is a terrible situation and sad excuse for a top flight program...... soon becoming a forgettable top flight program...... saw the UC - ND game yesterday..... players on both sides were intense and showed that they cared...... that is to Holly's point..... but also, they were wisely coached in x's and o's..... schemes on offense and defense both..... whole situation with Lady Vols is hard to watch

You even ask such a question? Holly was an assistant coach ALL those years for a reason! In way over her head (witnessed by her hair-grabbing gestures). She has managed to destroy a proud program. :no:

Our guards are a joke--2 for 20 shooting: 2 for 20. I think I would have tried Middleton at some point. Embarrassing performance by our guards.

Did not see today's game--thankfully! Barely broke 40 points? What defense did Va. Tech play--man, zone, both? tks.

Five players out today Moore, Nared, Middleton, Dunbar, and Jones. I think that says something about our luck. I don't know if any of them would have helped but they couldn't have played worse.
