Should drop to a 5 but will get a 4 because of the brand name.

TBA here we come

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

 

[dtnvol]

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.!!!!

No reason why she didn't rebound and play better defense tonight...It wasn't her scoring we missed, it was rebounding and defense...

 

[JohnnyPayne]

This is a season of “what could have been” if we didn’t have all these injuries. Very unfortunate.

 

[Mr French]

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

When you don't shoot 3's it's hard to get her the ball. She's basically playing 3v1 because the defense collapsed.

 

[BreatheUT]

Kellie will make the adjustments for the tourney.

Ok

Key is not an offensive threat, and we need to stop pretending she is.

She should be, but she has not progressed to the point where she is.

We were better when Striplin was in.

Rhymne time means the refs take care of me!

Agreed ... At one point Howard stepped on Wynns foot and they called Wynn with a foul.

 

[Govols922]

Honestly Kentucky was the better team tonight. We had no answer for the 3 the entire game.

 

[I4Vols]

Should Jordan Walker transfer?

I'll rephrase, would you care if she transferred given Miles and Powell coming to play?

 

[ARPfan4life]

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.

I understand. I still approach every game with high hopes. Want us to return to the glory days of Lady Vols championships.

 

[djohnnyg]

I said when Horston went down we were done. Look forward to next year. I thought I might have to eat crow on that....but it turns out I don't.

For him telling the truth?

They couldn’t beat Auburn or Alabama WITH Horston. They were never going past the sweet 16 if they even got that far.

 

[Mr French]

No reason why she didn't rebound and play better defense tonight...It wasn't her scoring we missed, it was rebounding and defense...

They shot 1/3 of their buckets from 3, 1/3 mid range, and a 1/3 in transition.. very limited defensively she could do. When they did go half court and drive she absolutely impacted shots that let us continually go on runs.

I would encourage her to transfer.

We were better when Striplin was in.

There are people in this world that refuse to get a grip on reality. Delusion feels better.

 

[Putbacks]

Congrats to Coach Elzy for getting her team prepared—only 6 TO’s. She used the season to get her team tournament-ready.

KEY can’t get any rhythm, when Kellie takes her out after one foul.

 

[Volstylexx]

I can appreciate that.

I understand. I still approach every game with high hopes. Want us to return to the glory days of Lady Vols championships.

Yes...they played well....

 

[Govols922]

Man lady vols need recruits! It’s tough watching us get outmanned year after year. We need star players who can make plays. Guards with quickness and who will defend and actually hit big shots. We look good just missing those kind of players.

 

[Hoosier]

self-destruction ---- every time the LVs got close, they immediately started making unforced turnovers --- must be evil gremlins on the court

 

[djohnnyg]

For him telling the truth?

I wouldn't say the LVs are "trash"....just not very good with the injuries. Green and Horston going down killed this team.
