Game Thread: Lady Vols 75 - Ohio State 87

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Same old crap. Rather disappointed.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

This is embarrassing. I still LOVE this team but come on ladies and mostly WAKE UP KELLIE! WTF are we doing....

 

[Lurker]

If Harper doesn’t get this team under control, we’ll lose by 20. She has to show up and get control. They are in a full out panic.

 

[VolBall09]

If Harper can't get this team to turn it around this season this very well could be her final year especially with the way recruiting just went and the way this team is performing right now . #KaraLawson shoulda coulda but didnt smh

No way. So far Kara has way more to prove than Kellie. Not at impressed with anything she’s done at Duke.

 

[dtnvol]

Gonna have to beat the zebras, as well.

Nonsense, they are beating themselves, no excuses

Kara wouldnt stand for this crap

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Fundamentals... Coaching... Tired of this same old song

Harper deserves criticism for this hot mess right now (turnovers) but what has Lawson proven exactly? Land recruits? Holly did as well but they underachieved.

The parts just don't fit together at this point. Maybe they will at some point.

 

[Amb3096]

Which is mad confusing.

Yeah, with the run that OSU was on you want your best players on the court. That lineup to end the 3rd quarter made no sense.

 

[teacherdean]

I am not impressed with KJH timeout management. They team was in trouble and she did not call a timeout. 22 turnovers is not going to get it done.

 

[SGMVols]

Not looking good…This much talent yet not looking coached at all.

The Butch Jones of basketball

 

[Voltopia]

All I'm saying is, if they're going to whistle Tennessee for double dribbles and travels in the open court, it would be real swell if they'd whistle some of the Ohio State players when they shuffle their feet too. That's all I'm saying.

 

[Prophet1]

How do you not know how to handle a press? Shame shame shame

 

[volnationnj]

We gave up 30 points in that quarter. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it.

 

[I4Vols]

If anyone had that line up in for that long, they would lose to anyone.
What coaching decisions were made in the 3rd is beyond me

 

[thill87]

I'm confident Ohio State is going down.....

Kelly looks raddled, the team is getting the adversity she talked about. I don't know

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I said last year that our team was not in good condition. There is NO reason to have #33 on the floor against a pressing team. It is like play 4 against 5.

 

[northknoxvol]

Do they not practice a press break?

 

[Voluble2]

Oh well, just shows a team with mediocre talent and a good coach can beat a team with a mediocre coach and great talent.

Absolutely no excuse for some of these line-ups and the revolving door changes. Very hard to beat a good team that way.

We just fell apart because there is nothing we can do consistently and rely upon because the lineup changes every two seconds.

 

[lvocd]

Yikes. Our ladies are playing truly scared now, and that's not usually something a team overcomes. I hate it for them so much.

 

[Prophet1]

All these players and this team losing to these slop

 

[Orange Maniac]

I would love to know why she won't call a timeout when her team is shaken up. Makes no sense to me.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

3 senior point guards.

 

[ttharp]

Portal riches still require good coaching.

This. Having the same issues (excessive turnovers) even with a new wave of players in uniform is a sign of bad coaching. It's a systemic issue. We learned this the hard way with Holly.
