Title: NC State 79...Lady Vols 72...FINAL..........
Post by: droner on March 26, 2024, 12:05:42 EDT
Lady Vols were outscored 25-8 in the second quarter. They tried to make a game out of it but it was too much to overcome.

Where does this leave us?

Can we pay less and get greater production?

Jackson saved Kellies job for another year by coming back. She missed 8 games early due to injury and we looked like crap....but won enough to save Kellies job when she came back. Stop and think what we would have looked like this year without Jackson. Ugly.

Is saving Kellys job a good thing? We are not an elite program even in the SEC, much less in the country. Do we think Kelly is going to change that? How much more do we need to see? However Duke mens team hired an ex player and have done pretty well in the tourney since he was hired.. I still think they need to hire outside the Vol family. Everybody says, "but she learned from Pat". I haven't seen anything she learned from Pat on the court much since Kelly took over. Honestly.

Kellie is now 12-37 against ranked teams in her 5 years at UT. That can't be excused or defended.

The program is in worse shape than Holly left it. If I recall, the Lady Vols were headed downward before Pat had to step down.

Kentucky just hired the Virginia Tech women's coach. Things are getting tougher for the Lady Vols.

That would be correct. Damn good hire by KY.

We should have beaten USC jr in the SEC tourney.  I hated to see how hard Kellie took that. I really like her and want her to succeed, but if next year is the disaster we fear it may be without Jackson, a change will have to be made.

The team did improve from her earlier years, but has a long way to go.
