#6 Michigan vs #3 Tennessee - 3/23/21

Michigan trying to lose

I was thinking the same.

 

[GoUconn7961]

TN can only do this when Key and KK are off the floor. Hillmon is too quick, she would easily be able to get open against them.

Yes but I see a lot of teams doing this; not just TN

Mich is giving so many chances in late but Tenn doesnt want to take it. LOL

 

[DaBball]

Love the Hillmon-Baker/Brown (x2) trio.

 

[Vowelguy]

Davis & Burrell have been non-existent today.

Davis & Burrell have been non-existent today.

Thats literally their team..... so not surprising to see this result when neither show up

 

[Mdoggie]

Tennessee’s failure is in recruiting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

No but their last regular season game AT UCONN was...

I didn't see it, but they scored 53 points. How good could they possibly have been? Shot 40% overall, 33% from 3. Doesn't really appear to be an out of their mind performance, no matter how you try to spin it.

There is coaching blame to go around... It aint just players, but they don't have the same caliber players as past Tennessee teams.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don’t understand something. Why don’t teams play this aggressive inbounds defense all game instead of just the last 2 minutes of a game.

Doesn't it take a lot of energy? Hard to maintain that kind of intensity for extended periods of time.

 

[Vowelguy]

Davis 4-16 (0-3 from 3) plus lowest RB of the starting 5 + 4 fouls, 12 pts,

Burrell 4-7 with 6 TOs, 11 pts

 

[SECbbfan24]

I wish Tennessee would stop fouling, this is over

 

[Mdoggie]

There is coaching blame to go around... It aint just players, but they don't have the same caliber players as past Tennessee teams.

But they think they do. They also think Pat is still coaching.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I'm trying to remember which Tennessee poster was comparing R. Davis to the Tennessee all time greats....

 

[nwhoopfan]

Fouled again. Why? Technical, eject the whole UT team, declare a no contest. That was just unbelievably unneeded.

 

[triaddukefan]

SEC darn shame SEC

 

[SECbbfan24]

But they think they do. They also think Pat is still coaching.

I don't think Pat was some X's and O's wizard but she recruited with the best of the best. Her team had vastly superior rosters to almost everyone else and out worked people and toughed people. It worked well considering the roster makeup every year.

That system is not replicable without superior players and Tennessee doesn't have that these days. It will require some innovation on the offensive end IMO and I'm not sure if Harper has that to be honest.

I was just curious. Thanks.

Now if the one SEC team and the two Big 12 teams who are scheduled to play today can also loose, it will show that their Conferences weren't as strong as the committee perceived them to be.

Lady Vols need help from the Xfr Portal if they hope to compete for the SEC Champioship next year. They get help in recruiting, but not enough to cut into So Carolina's dominance. So Carolina returns their starting lineup and bring in the #1 or #2 Recruiting Class.

Sad thing is. They may be the only team(maybe A&M) that actually have a decent future. But. Tennessee needs a point guard and a True 4.
