11 dominated this game. We need players like that, that can be the difference. the LSU chants in this arena should not go unnoticed by DW.

It’s called a coach that can recruit players not recruit bench warmers

Powell has took 17 shots. Hot 3. Player she’s gaursingnlights out. All on head coach. Bye Kellie.

 

[VolBall09]

Oof is hard to watch.

It’s one thing to play inconsistent game to game, but when it’s moment to moment that is so hard to correct. We have no discipline at all. Haven’t all season and it hasn’t improved, well coached teams take full advantage.

We are a middle of the pack SEC for the rest of the time Kellie is here, maybe worse with Texas and Oklahoma joining next seasons. Either White is ok with that and hopes maybe we will have a really competitive team every 3-5 years, or, we need a new head coach.

Has Kaiya even checked in in the 4th Q?

 

[Volfan2012]

I would rather see Wynn every game over Powell. She’s selfish and actually no that good.

Just a couple more games and she will be gone after this performance will be a relief.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

I hate it when other players shoot better in our gym than we do. Where are you Spear?

 

[JohnnyPayne]

Nah. Kelli can sub. This on Kelli

Yeah let’s put Wells in….,

 

[Majors]

This loss isn't on Harper at this point, it's squarely on Powell unless a miracle happens.

Harper could have pulled her at any moment

 

[Gilmore]

Rickea can’t do it by herself, wish she could

 

[Butch s]

That stuff with Powell would have been corrected a long time ago by a decent coach.

She is a good player who tries to do too much. That can be fixed, but not if it is never addressed.

She’s NOT a good player. She is the weak link on this team

 

[VolBall09]

I hate it when other players shoot better in our gym than we do. Where are you Spear?

They took her out of it early. She hasn’t care to touch the basketball for 3 quarters now because she didn’t like being defended.

This team needs for her to score. She has to score 12-15/game for thus team to compete with any team with a pulse. She needs to step up.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Rickea blocks Reese, nice to see, too bad it’s in this losing effort.

 

[turbovol]

Powell, Spear, and Jackson all shot poorly today. Tamari played well today and Puckett was ok as well. Really this was shooting wise our worst game of the year.

I didn't think it was possible but Powell (3--17!) and Spear (1-11) almost exactly replicated their terrible performances in the South Carolina game. "Poorly" is not quite the word for it. Puckett, who with Jackson is our best outside shooter among regulars, has 5 shots--one of them rushed because there is no effort or scheme to get her open. And that is stupid coaching and stupid basketball.

 

[VolBalls33]

Spear and Powell 4 of 28. Against air wouldn't do worse. At home no less.

 

[LadyVol1908]

When was the last time we had a good guard?!

She unfortunately looks great against the bottom 3rd of the SEC. Middle to top half have kept her in check

 

[VolBall09]

Ultimately games like this are a result of the recruiting failures. If our primary players are not having a good night we have nowhere to go.

Our best sub is probably Tess who is our worst defender.

 

[Volfan2012]

Jackson, Powell, and Spear 10 for 46 today. 10 for 46 really that is our big three!!!

 

[Vols2015]

Why do we wait last minute after being down 16 to press? I don’t understand some of Kellie’s choices.

 

[VolBall09]

Kim calling a timeout just so Kellie has to talk to her team about losing.

Meanwhile she’s drawing up a play for fun.

Exactly you have to recruit. You must have an elite point guard. You must have a post presence. We don't really have either although impressed with Tamari's defense today.

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

Louder for the folks in the back…….FIRE KELLI HARPER!

 

[VOLED]

The players have to be totally frustrated. Anybody that has played ball knows how deflating it is to have one player "take over" and lose the game. The biggest disappointment is who let her do this. It's coaching malpractice, at best.

 

[RAVOL]

In big games players make plays. Lsu has best starting 5 for reason and in this game not even close. HVL played like the coveted player she was in Portal. It's always in these games about players period. We don't have enough. In CHRIST Alone
