Title: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: Evol Knievol on March 10, 2024, 12:48:58 EST Heartbreaking loss :banghead:
Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 10, 2024, 01:13:53 EST Just watched the last play. How in the hell does that happen? Especially with two fouls to give? :frown:
Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: VinnieVOL on March 10, 2024, 01:52:02 EST That was a kick in the junk. :thumbdown:
Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on March 10, 2024, 03:28:14 EDT You have a foul to give with an inbound at 1.1 seconds and you let any player catch a wide open inbounds pass? Uncontested?
That was as bad, or worse, than the no-rush by Auburn on the last play of the iron bowl. Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: droner on March 10, 2024, 03:57:27 EDT That was only the second three she ever attempted and the first one to go in.
And it was a bank shot. Sheesh. That's just good luck for one side and bad luck for the other. :frown: Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on March 10, 2024, 05:03:19 EDT That was only the second three she ever attempted and the first one to go in. It was terribly lucky, but you do not leave anyone uncontested in that situation. The lack of awareness on that defensive possession is really amazing. And it was a bank shot. Sheesh.

The lack of awareness on that defensive possession is really amazing. Yea, someone should have run out there and fouled her before she even caught the ball. Letting anyone be that open is unacceptable. Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: Tnphil on March 10, 2024, 06:47:33 EDT Zero pressure on the inbound and shooter...no one within 15 feet of the inbound or shooter and with a foul to give is coaching malpractice.
Kellie was actually crying in her presser.....think the pressure is getting to her...Man up and take the blame for that cluster at the end and stop sobbing. She is 12-35 against ranked teams in her 5 years at UT. That's pitiful at a place like UT.

But half these dolts on here don't want to here that. They will keep her around and all of a sudden expect titles. :loco:Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: BanditVol on March 10, 2024, 11:05:53 EDT Amen. But half these dolts on here don't want to here that. They will keep her around and all of a sudden expect titles. :loco: Your usual strawman. No one is happy that at this point in time, UT is barely qualifying for the NCAA tourney. That is not where we should be as a program. We have never failed to qualify for the tourney. I am on record as saying if that ever happens, whoever is the coach should be fired on the spot. As for whatever else you say about Kelly, we did come within an eyelash of beating the cocks, and by your own admission should have. USC is hands down, by far, the no. 1 program in the country. Does that excuse the horrible way we lost? No. (although I didn't see it, and am only going off what I read). Does that mean we throw up our hands and give up on the rest of the season? Not just no, but HELL no. Kelly could well use the frustration over the loss to spring this team deep into the tourney. My attitude is what it always is, "wait and see". Then make an assessment after the season. No sense in the constant whining or the loser mentality you show, constantly harping on every negative thing you can. Finally...I think you misinterpret Pirate. I am pretty sure he is saying "forget it, the administration is not going to make a move this year". I can't speak for Pirate, but I can tell you that is a broad consensus among UT fans. But anyway...has the team shown improvement this year? We have played Junior three times. The first was an ass kicking. The second was a close game. The third, by your own admission, we SHOULD HAVE WON. That is progress whether you like it or not. If we make the Elite Eight or even Final Four, then Kelly can redeem the season. Honestly that's all that matters, is The Show. Most everyone knows that, but you as usual seem uninformed (or ignorant if you prefer). :powert: Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: BanditVol on March 10, 2024, 11:10:33 EDT Let me add another side to this...which is that it's unrealistic to expect anyone to just step in for Pat and not miss a beat. UCLA has never had another Wooden. Lord knows we have not had another Neyland (Fulmer won one, but that's not Neyland level success. Bama is the rare animal that had another Bear, but it took about 26 years or so.
Looking back, Holley was better than Kelly. Maybe Kelly can at least match Holley, maybe even this year, but maybe routinely making the Sweet 16 with an occasional Elite 8 is not so bad. Kelly has been nowhere near that. Title: Re: Lady Vols?..wow Post by: volsboy on March 11, 2024, 08:45:48 EDT Your usual strawman.

Not just no, but HELL no. Kelly could well use the frustration over the loss to spring this team deep into the tourney. We didn't do anything but catch SC on a bad night and almost pulled it out.
