Who will win this game?

  • Total voters

  • Poll closed .
I am not as witty as some posters, but I can say honestly that Turner flopped. I think the Louisville player was surprised and was actually thinking about helping her up. The foul came from the twilight zone.

Turner fell and they fouled out a Louisville player with an unsportsmanlike foul. Two shots and the ball with 30 seconds left in a 4 point game

ND was up 7 at that point.
 
The pro holly lovers on the summitt love to use the excuse that this team is young, but tennessee started 2seniors, 2 zophs and a fresh..kentucky also started 2 seniors, 2 sophs and a freshman..using youth as an excuse to losing is an easy way out instead of blaming the piss poor coaching

Morris of Kentucky is getting fouled almost every time she touches the ball and they aren't calling them. Westbrook should have fouled out mid 3rd qtr.

And this is the team that complained that Cunningham was too physical and her team played chippy.

Nah. At least 8-8.
They still have @Ala, Ark, LSU, Fla, @Van, Aub, Van, Miss. Hard to lose more than 1 of those.
And they probably win 1 against the upper tier -- @Ga, @MsSt, @Mo, @TAMU, SC.
 
I can't see Tennessee failing to make the field unless they had a sub .500 record overall.
 
That was truly painful to watch....what an awful loss for Tennessee. They had:
-Howard only playing 14 minutes
-Size and athleticism advantage at almost every position
-Howard fouled out with 3-4 minutes to go
-Murrey out almost the entire 2nd half
-29 FTA vs 17 for Kentucky
-28 offensive rebounds

And they still lost! It's just nuts. You watch them play and you can tell the players have zero chemistry with each other, there's no offensive system, no screens being set (a trademark of Holly's offense) and no decision making skills. Players do not value possessions at Tennessee. They cough the ball up, take bad shots and just don't play smart. Westbrook's decision making is awful and Davis looks uninterested half the time. It feels like they're the second coming of Nared/Russell in that category.

Luckily for Tennessee the SEC is down this year, but my guess is they finish at best 10-6, more realistically 8-8 or 7-9. They'll make the tournament but I don't see them hosting the first 2 rounds. Hopefully 3 straight first or 2nd round exits is enough for the administration to consider canning Holly despite Horston coming in next year.

Tennessee players have awesome personalities...i enjoy listening to them after their games...you can tell Holly recruits well each year. They are really young...Haynes would only be a sophomore but if she hadn't been kicked off the team and forced to transfer she would make a huge difference starting in the backcourt with Ms. Westbrook.
 
Watching UT play is like watching 3rd grade boys rec league teams play! The player has the ball the parents are screaming shoot it!

Did you see the Tennessee fan in the audience with the orange sport coat who stood up every time a referee made a call that didn't go Tennessee's way? He must have burned a lot of calories yelling at the top of his lungs. I know I don't like sitting next to fans like that!

I just don't get why recruits want to go there. I don't care how great of a recruiter she is. If I'm a player, watching this and seeing this team not getting coached to the best of their abilities, I'm not going!

I think Jolette Law recruited a lot of the top ranked players. She’s always been an excellent recruiter. She’s now at So Carolina - just what they need, more top ranked kids :rolleyes:

The Tennessee AD brass is over the moon about finally having a great men's BB team. Who'da thunk we'd see the day that the Vols men's team overshadows the Lady Vols.

And in terms of programs needing remediation, they are 100 times more worried about football than WBB.

Who'da thunk we would see the day when UTenn men's team outshone the UConn men's team?

I will say that no matter what her coaching inadequacies, almost no one in all of WCBB has recruited better than Holly the past 3 years. Regardless of how many games she loses, there is no one who could replace her and recruit better. Now, getting the team to play better is a totally different discussion.

Doubtful. They have games against Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. They should win all 3 or at the very lest 2/3. I think they lose to ND. They play Mississippi, Florida and Vandy twice. Those all should be wins. I can't see aTm beating them since aTm is a 1-trick pony (Chennedy Carter).

LSU, @Miss State, @Mizzou, SC - all possible losses. Auburn played them close too but I can't see them winning at Tennessee. We will see.
 
I honestly hope we fall apart so Fulmer has no other choice but to fire Warlick. Warlick’s defenders are quickly disappearing around UT this season, and attendance is declining.
I desperately want her gone.

Who were her defenders who are now disappearing?

Yes I think that is your best bet

You missed the foul called at the end of the ND game, I guess. Breanna Turner fell down and they called an unsportsmanlike foul on Louisville

Yes, I saw that. These two games makes me wish every questionable call was reveiwed real time like football and could be overturned by officials not on the floor. Also think refs need to be evaluated for performance and definitely not allowed to ref tournament game unless their performance is up to a certain standard. iMHO, None of the ref in these two games should be allowed to ref in tournament.
