SECT Game Thread: Lady Vols 74 - Kentucky 83

[zaqhhh]

Upsides: The Offense looked better

Downsides: The Defense has maybe a bottom 3 performance of the year.

At least we have clinched hosting but geez, pathetic effort in the last 5 minutes

I have to put this on mute. Peck is so annoying.

Key and Walker should have stayed at the hotel and played video games tonight. They did not show up to play this game

That’s the bad coaching I was referring to. Coach Staley sat one of her best players that did not have it tonight. Kellie played hers.

Honestly you can’t be mad at Key. They have too get her the ball early and in the middle where Key is leveled. This isn’t anything new this team could be so much better if they understood that to open the floor up Key must do her work early to allow the drives and kick outs for mid or long range shots.!!!!

Kyra Elzy bout to rethink that slapping her hands and stomping up the court after their loss tomorrow lol

Refs? This was uninspired basketball. The game plan was awful and our 6-7 center didn't feel like being here. The defense was non-existent for the first 20 minutes. It looks like they lost purposely. Terrible basketball.

This! We always blame refs..Refs have nothing to do with this sloppy play

 

[I4Vols]

Officials didn’t win this game. Kentucky played better.

Agree, but early calls were in UK favor and the no calls on Howard were egregious

like i say Jordan Horston pls get healthy. We need you!!!

 

[JohnnyPayne]

We win handily without our injuries. Even if we had Horston, we win that one.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Don’t think she’s much of a coach

Thinking is obviously not your strong suit.

 

[fifties fan]

One more foul and she's out of game.

And what do we lose? Quit on D and has been a non factor on O.

 

[LVol]

We should have pressed the entire game. Like yesterday.

 

[Govols922]

i think i said the refs bail kentucky out. i never said they were the reason they won. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

Tamari couldn’t get in rhythm because the guards couldn’t get her the ball.

 

[peerless98]

UK scored on 7 of 8 possessions to end the game, that is beyond infuriating

Without Key even pretending to play defense due to having 4 fouls helped a lot. I typically don't question coaching decisions, but why have her on the floor if she won't or can't play defense.

 

[LVol]

Rhymne time means the refs take care of me!

 

[Volstylexx]

I watch all the games they play on SEC network and any other. Have been following the Lady Vols since Pat Summit days with Chamique Holdslaw

I’m not doubting your fandom… just saying I don’t know many people who watched them play the last month and half who are genuinely shocked by tonight’s result. Any given night this team and can win, OR lose to an inferior team. I’m not shocked when either happens.

It want be the remaining of this year.

Something is wrong when you got the tallest player on the court and she can't get good looks and finish 1 or 2 buckets.

Too many lower tier players or its Harper. One or the other.

 

[Putbacks]

Hats off to Alexis Dye.

 

[Ladyvol777]

SAD SAD SAD, this game should have been won by Tennessee. Alexus Dye had a nice game. As always go Lady Val's.

 

[ARPfan4life]

Tamari couldn’t get in rhythm because the guards couldn’t get her the ball.

I agree 100%. Then we change our strategy.

 

[djohnnyg]

That Edwards dude was a big part of this.

 

[Govols922]

Man we missed Horton tonight big time

 

[BreatheUT]

like i say Jordan Horston pls get healthy. We need you!!!

I wondered about that. I'm sure that made a huge difference.

 

[ARPfan4life]

Kellie will make the adjustments for the tourney.
