I watched the first quarter, went back to my piano and then checked back at the end
Amazing, amazing, amazing as ole Casey used to say.
They were so dominant at the top with good strong D
And getting the ball inside to Mercedes and Graves, even hitting 3's
Up by how much? 10, 11?
How could they lose?
A team that takes it foot off the gas, I suppose and forgets what got them there.
Talk about a badly coached team.
And their savior, Miss Diamond, is just not right, she looks awful.
 
The autopsy on this one is not going to be pretty: Catch spoke to the team recently about effort . Andy Landers: "UT needs to improve greatly offensively". Lady Vols second loss to an un-ranked team this year. Bashara Graves 2 of 13 NO shot attempt outside of 7 feet. Diamond 6 of 21. Cooper 3 of 11. UT 4 of 22 on 3Pt attempts.

But I thought they were improving so much since Nared came back, the team had their big meeting with out the coaches, and they took away their social media? :eek:

I have to say, this makes me smile. Going nowhere fast, and mass hysteria from the more insane fan base...

Grandpa always said: don't let the kids taking the control...
 
I need to hear from Margo right now. She'll let us know whats wrong with these Lady Vols.

Maybe Diamond was thinking more about driving around campus in her new Mercedes she got
from her brother than thinking about a bunch of hungry Gators coming for a good meal on ole
Rocky Top.

10 assists??!!? hard to believe a team with that much talent can only muster 10 assists....clearly a coaching issue.....not to mention 21 turnovers

Old Grandma first time saw the basketball game: if they liked the ball so much, why not gave everyone a ball to play?

I actually don't think their fans are all that hysterical
The team is woefully underperforming
The have zero recruits next season
Play is very undisciplined, coaching is very suspect.
The program has an illustrious tradition

Can you blame them for being so discouraged?
And to advocate change?
Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
 
The game humbles one . . . or many. Example: Charlie Creme posted this last April. Vols #3.

Way too early indeed.

Keep Auriemma's laugh line in mind, fellow believers: "There is a line from here to Chicago for people waiting to play us in non-conference games starting next year. We understand that and I am sure we will take our lumps for a little bit. We played them all before we got Stewie so we might as well play them now.
 
feste, you make a good point but it won't kill me to lose some games. We may have put together the best non conference schedule in the history of the sport. Its going to be fun to watch the women take on that challenge even if we lose a few. We'll be battle tested by March.

Not to single anyone out and there are rumors of injuries in both years but ...
Freshman of the year shooting percentages: .426/.279 while taking 24% of the teams shots and 25% of their threes - A/TO 0.75
Red Shirt Sophomore numbers: .391/.233 while taking 24% of teams shots and 28% of their threes - A/TO 0.76

And the PG of the future that made the Danger superfluous to requirements is second on the team in shots (15%) and three attempts shoots (21%) is hitting at .328/.217 with an A/TO of 0.85.

Those numbers of course look worse than they really are when you consider the whole team shoots .404/.231 with an A/TO of 0.81

Wonder how much Andy got paid for that illumination?
 
Interesting presser by Holly with Carter and Graves
http://www.utsports.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/010716aaa.html

Holly tries to throw the team under the bus but it comes out sounding like she has no control.
She tells the guards to penetrate, they hoist 3's

Carter affirmed that for whatever reason, the team just did't listen to Holly. Not her fault, she said
Mentioned that the coaches took it easy on them this week with a busy schedule. no excuse there.

Graves was pretty miserable, couldn't buy a bucket, even from point blank range

When the team plays with max effort, and reasonable smarts, they're still a tough out.

Jury is still out: Do the collapse, pull together or a little of both? Who knows.

The players do what they want because there are no consequences if they disobey their coach. Any player that ignores her coach should be pulled and put at the end of the bench. Play the team manager and sign up some walk ons if necessary but only play the kids that listen. Holly needs to get control of her team.

Excellent point Nan.

And this is why, if the AD fires Holly, the entire coaching staff must go too. An entirely new culture must be brought to the program that includes accountability on the players part.

That isn't going to happen. She doesn't know how to do that. She has no clue. It starts with the athletes you recruit and how you sell them the program and their role.
