I'm a big Prawl fan. If she sticks around, I can see her being a strong voice and leader in this program for several years.

Me, too. Big, strong, quicker than I first thought, good hands, works for rebounds, plays defense with intentionality, always seems to have a great attitude. BUT, PLEASE, PLEASE, KIM! GET HER SOME HELP WITH HER SHOT. I just can't believe she was that bad in h.s. and wonder how much the muscle she says she's put on at UT has thrown that off. And, of course -- freshman, early jitters, shot off just a little starts to press -- can take a while to get it settled back in, assuming she was a better shooter in h.s. At least tonight she started hitting some close shots, though she seems to have an aversion to the backboard!

I swanee watching this team/staff this year is like watching a drunk chase a balloon on a cliff. They’re running towards the edge! They’re running back away now. Oh no, they’re running back towards the edge again!!
I’m exhausted! But happy about tonight! But exhausted!
Congrats to all, especially Prawl and Civil!
Best wishes to Kellie for the rest of the year. A class, class act and LV for life!

Gonna lose this one at home. We play like garbage when Pauldo isn’t running the point.

Time to worry about missing the tourney. Not going to hit 20 wins. Several lopsided losses and probably a couple more bad losses like MSST. Gonna be a bubble team at best.

A huge blowout win, we’ll take it. I wonder if Kellie took a nerve pill prior to the game. Wasn’t overly hyped, but was seated on the bench much of the game.

I didn't get to go to the game tonight. 💔 Does anyone know what kind of reception Kellie got from the crowd?

She got some claps and cheers when she first came out from the locker room during warmups. Then when they announced Mizzou starters and Kellie as their head coach and LVFL, she got a very warm welcome. Loud cheers 😊

I read the posts after Kim’s post game against SC. And I remembered the UConn post game after they lost to us last year. Geno was brutal. I’ve seen Mulkey do it multiple times. I was surprised that our sophisticated fans got so bent out of shape. In fact SEC post game tonight was complimentary of her honest approach. They’ve seen it before.

Yeah it’s a common technique. I think Vols fans got sensitive to that during the Holly years though. She threw the players under the bus a lot but had no answers and made no improvements. You saw the same nonsense game after game.

Tricky post game presser. I commend her for wanting back in the SEC. Tough pill to swallow today. They have been up against it with injuries.

For the style she likes to play they have to have an anchor in the paint and they just don’t have that this season. She has got lots of size in the paint coming in.

This was a tough one for me and probably other Vol fans. Great win and real statement after Kim called the team out publicly it was a great response even if it was against Mizzou. I love Kellie and was a huge supporter of her until the end here at UT which honestly need to happen sadly. It was kind of hard to see us hand her here that bad of a loss being a VFL. I love Kim too but I thought personally the full court pressing up 40 plus in the 3rd was a bit over the top but I'm sure others will strongly disagree. If it was against USC, LSU or hell anyone else I'd say go for it but against Kellie I wasn't a fan of it given the situation. With all that said, great win and lets go beat Texas!!

Fresh legs for the Lady Vols against Texas. 25 minutes max. Texas was pressed. I like our chances, but those ‘horns definitely will come out swinging.

I think this is spot on! Only at TN would a coach being tough on players be so newsworthy. Kim, Dawn, Geno, Vic, etc. etc. etc. have said far worse than Kim said. She was honest. The truth hurts but it's the only thing that really matters when trying to reach the top. It's refreshing to see such an honest coach not giving us the same scripted comments over and over after a game. Yes, Holly was maddening in that regard but she's still a LVFL.
