NCAAT Game Thread: Lady Vols vs Buffalo/Belmont

[zaqhhh]

If this holds, both the men and women teams would have blown 85% chances to win with 8 minutes left

Anyone turnover. 😝. I just don’t understand why this team plays so badly and cannot protect the ball.

Is it coaching? Chemistry? Not enough talent? I won’t buy the excuse that two players are out as UT has much more talent than Belmont.

 

[Ambervball01]

Belmont wants it more 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[mad4vols]

Belmont clearly has better players. That's unbelievable.

I think Tennessee has better players, Belmont just seems to have better chemistry as a team.

 

[casetopia]

Mighty Tennessee lol

Better be one hell of a play drawn up here by Kellie.

 

[ARPfan4life]

We talked about Holly's big loses. This would be a huge loss under Kellie.

 

[Bigkat]

Mighty Tennessee lol

Not anymore!!

 

[Majors]

Kellie is a cheerleader not a coach.

That look in the final few mins showed fear over confidence.

Coaching accomplishes that.

 

[LasVegasBill23]

win or lose a tepid showing at best.

 

[Real Info]

Key got killed on that rebound. That’s a joke.

 

[casetopia]

Kellie gonna give her hubby a big raise.

Definitely better coached. And better understanding of the game.

 

[Volstylexx]

I think we be aggressive and get to the foul line.

refs won’t call it.

 

[Jwalls]

Key needs to take them fake eyelashes off

 

[Sportslady]

Dye is our best player by far. Walker is good, nobody else is contributing enough. We need to recruit some players that can shoot and dribble and move. That play like they want to win. We have no killer instinct or fire. I don’t get it. I like Harper but she is going to have to start recruiting tougher minded players. Keyes worries about her hair to much.

We played our best quarter— #2, when the floor had 4 freshman and Dye (?). KH never played the same group in second half. Ran us up by 7-8 points. ++. Why not??

That is basketball. Chemistry is a huge part of it.

But win or lose Kellie got outcoached tonight. They exploited problems we have had all year that were never addressed.

Leaving threes open is our thing. It is what we do.

 

[Majors]

Coaching accomplishes that.

That’s what made Byrd successful at Belmont

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Belmont players feel the upset win that's coming .... students do too.

Yep, just inexplicable.

 

[vol94]

She’s overrated

I agree. I haven’t been impressed with her at all this yr. She can block shots but not aggressive and stays in foul trouble. She could be elite if she had more desire. I don’t know her but making that assumption based off her body language.

 

[Spacejam]

I’m still annoyed with how the third quarter went and get a timeout should have been called way before it even got to a four point lead only. I just don’t understand why they stopped playing hard. Belmont outplayed and out hustled Tennessee there and even got to the rebounds to give themselves second chance points too. I also felt that some substitutions needed to be made for Tennessee when Belmont went on that run. I’m just so irked by it all including the refs not calling enough fouls on Belmont.

 

[Putbacks]

We are playing on our home court. With the final result still in the balance, just the struggle alone is very telling, people.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Can we hire Betty?
