The way we fill openings hasn't been encouraging so guess we'll keep Holly.

The high school scouting needs to get better IMO. Yeah we're getting too recruits, but it seems like they're not as good of athletes as UCONN, ND, South Carolina, Stanford, etc. I also see a lot of stupid shots in just about every game as well.

Desperately need some offensive help. A lot of the games it looks like we don't even practice offense. Depressing loss. We could've--and should've--won the game.

Sorry, typo. Meant to say top recruits rather than too recruits. Gotta watch out for the grammar police.

Let's see Uconn win a game at this level shooting ONE F-ING FREE THROW!!!!! ONE!! those refs were truly embarrassing.

She doesn't even know that piece is missing.

There is not another coach in Division I dumb enough to keep trying to get it down low to Graves in these past couple of games instead of getting some match-ups with the face up game. That is just flat out coaching incompetence and there is no excuse for it.

Our offense perked up when Graves went out. And it is not that she is a bad player, but it is that she was not being used properly and she was being asked to do things she can't do. That is the hallmark of a bad coach and Holly is a really, really bad offensive coach.

She needs to hire someone to be the offensive coordinator and just turn that side of the ball over to them. That is the only way we ever become competitive again without having to just out talent everyone. And there is no amount of talent that can overcome a coach who puts her players in such bad positions.

Holly needs to apologize to that team for what she did to them in the tournament and for not adjusting on offense.

Do you think Boise State, Pitt or Zaga have more talent than we do? They have FAR less talent! Take off your big orange glasses. We have more talent than Maryland--but we choke under pressure. That's the bottom line. We completely fell apart in the first half, just like we did against Louisville. We had the easiest draw of any of the top seeds. We wilt under pressure--like, er, LADIES

We simply didn't make the shots at crunch time and we should've ran the floor more. Nice effort ladies .

Warlick has no swagger, and our team has no swagger. She tries to act tough, but she isn't. This is why we wilt when the bright lights come on. Yes, we choke this game, but it does mean we won't be humiliated by Geno in the Final Four. His team would beat us by 40, because they don't play afraid.

Do you realize the stupidity of what you're saying? She needs to apologize ??? For what, taking them to an elite 8.. Where they trailed by 3 with a minute left to a team that was 35-2 and hadn't lost since December??? After losing 3 players to injury including 2 starters and the leading rebounder/ scorer in the team. This is the epitome of stupid.

You can add Jannah Tucker to the mix along with Deshields and Russell plus any signees and the offense should be improved next season.

We can play some terrific defense, but Holly and staff has got to get her team to be efficient on offense. Carter and Reynolds has got to get better shooting ball. DeShields will erase a lot of offensive struggles, but what happens when she struggles in a game. Guard play is crucial in the tournament. The last few seasons our guards have struggled when the pressure is up. Massengale did indeed come to play tonight. Great season ladies. 30-6 and Elite 8 is not bad for a injury depleted roster loosing its star player. We need post players badly to compete with the Final Four teams. I'm hoping we can pull out the red carpet for the 6'3" JUCO All-American post player. We need her badly. On to the off season and recruiting.

Great effort, just come up a little short, the teem just had too many injury and lost both of our biggest players.

Diamond DeShields will help quite a bit offensively next year. She's one of the best players in the country so I'd say that will help quite a bit. Loosing Izzy for the season was disastrous to say the least. They not only lost their best all around player, but they lost their leader. Not a bad season for the Lady Vols when you look at the whole picture.
