Key with her hands up standing under the rim. I don't believe it.

 

[Volstylexx]

For the first time all season, I actually feel really bad for Kelli.

 

[Woodrow Call]

That's the absolute worst coaching I've seen this year.

 

[knoxvol52]

Unfreaking believable..

 

[turbovol]

Would’ve been better off not fouling.

This is true. She would have just throw the ball up on the run. Instead, we let somebody stand and take an uncontested shot--even if
was this big.

Powell should have grabbed the rebound and dribbled away....She blew it twice. Two crappy free throws as well.

 

[lfvol]

Key with brain lock standing under like there might be a rebound.

 

[ttharp]

You gotta hit FTs

 

[VolDave53]

Fire kellie harper

Or not. Remember the firing of CPF worked out so well. No extension, just monitor her progress.

 

[volforlife15]

Key and Rickea guarding air was a bold strategy

 

[Volfan2012]

Just had to make two free throws

 

[Lucy]

Well crap.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Great effort by the ladies. Hopefully we can build on it come tournament time.

 

[djtee]

Please fire them all. Do it.

Why? SC was up 23 at one point should have been over. TN just regrouped and made a come back

 

[Volfaninfl2]

ok, said in anguish

 

[TN1111]

Key with her hands up standing under the rim. I don't believe it.

Dumbest garbage I've ever witnessed

 

[aeternumVol]

I’m so pissed! That was a heartbreaking ending

 

[87&91ALUM]

That had to be the stupidest coaching mistake in the history of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball. We missed our foul shots which wasn't Kellie's fault but to let them toss that ball in to that shooter with 1.1 secs and have a time out left....ugh. Loses to both Men and Women today. Rough Saturday for Vol fans. Good news? We can come back in the NCAAs.

 

[Peas29]

Key with her hands up standing under the rim. I don't believe it.

That wasn’t on her. And I don’t see why they had Jackson so high. But it’s on Powell she missed free throws to seal it

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Free throws and a foul that shouldn't have happened. Heartbreak.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Make the free throws and it doesn’t matter, but the coaching malpractice we saw at the end is just unacceptable. Even a high school coach would have approached it better.

 

[dlhx]

worst coached individual play in sports history

If I’m not mistaken, she still had two timeouts?

 

[knoxvol52]

that’s just unfortunate. you CANNOT leave her wide open but that’s just crazy that she hit that.

Banked the shot in lucky as hell good grief.

 

[VolBall09]

Nothing wrong with this roster but the coach. Give this team to about 15 of any of the other top coaches and they probably had 4 losses and a 1-2 seed in the NCAA tournament.

 

[turbovol]

No pressure. Left wide open. Yes, she needs to be fired before leaving the arena. Coaching malpractice

Don't be ridiculous. We were positioned so that the couldn't throw the ball to one of their better players in the paint. Cardosa hasn't made a three all year. So let's not make absurd comments. Powell cost us the game---period.

 

[Switch 625]

You gotta hit FTs

This. We hit those last two, we win.
