how bad was that possession? they didn't even watch the clock.
 
Neither team is particularly good. I am not overly concerned about seeing either one in the tournament. Although there is plenty of season left, and both can improve, this is some ugly basketball being played right now.
 
Game getting away from the Lady Vols a bit. Mercedes Russell is confusing. She has all of the tools to be a really dominant center yet she's getting outplayed by a freshmen right now.
 
Diamond spent a ton of energy getting Russell a look deep in the post and Russell just fluffs the easy shot. Yikes.
 
UT sinking slowly, slowly in the east.

Will Doris Burke take a bite out of Tennessee again tonight? :cool:

Coaching isn't there to help her develop...
 
One team plays an antiquated double post, the other plays psuedo-schoolyard ball. Two offensively (re typical SEC) challenged teams. Has anyone ever seen a 6'7" player so uncomfortable in the post? Maybe if she was 6"8"...She can't shoot outside, can't hit free throws, can't hit layups, can't rebound. I've seen mannequins with better instincts. How does anyone let Epps get off? She has a mediocre shot from 12' out. Everything is off the dribble or through fast breaks. Horrible.
 
Cooper has been really good at times tonight. I'm pretty impressed.

Some HUGE missed free throws late by Tennessee. Wow.
 
FINAL: 64-63 Kentucky

Tennessee fought hard to get back in the game. A loss like this hurts the most.

In a comedy of errors, K wins...hardly deserved

When they were behind by 10 and looked soundly beaten
I almost wrote about UTenn: They lost...but when they go to film, they'll be able to figure out how to win

Should have been a pass down court to save time rather than dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.

Yep. Like that brilliant half court assist A&M executed versus SC late in the 4th a few games ago..
 
So sad, too bad. Tenn fans can point to Cooper and say that Tenn is moving in the right direction. Bottom line, 7th loss of the season. Coaches poll should have them at about 23 or 24 (they were 22 last week). I'm hoping they fall out of the top 25... That would be awesome!!

On edit - Tenn can't put together 4 consistent quarters, never mind 3. They got blown out in the 3rd quarter and were down 10 in the 4th before they attempted a desperate comeback. I'm sure they put on the full court press for the lats 4 minutes of the game. All for naught. Yay!

Did anyone happen to notice the TN huddle/s those last few critical time-outs? It was pure chaos. There were committees of players here, asst. coaches there, no organization, no leadership. They're a hot mess.
 
I didn't make a prediction but if I had, it would have been for a close Tennessee win. They know the season is spinning away from them, and looking at the schedule, there are at least a couple more losses out there not including the SEC tourney. I believe right now they are a 5 seed. I know Creme has them as a 4 seed.

While the season is slipping away, it's going to make them more and more desperate. Almost in panic mode. Anyway, I would have predicted a Tenn win of about 60-58... Problem is not only can Tenn NOT put together 4 consistent quarters, they can't even put together 3 of them. They got blown out in the 3rd quarter and Kentucky built the lead up to 10 in the 4th before they attempted a desperate comeback. All for naught. Yay!

I think when (if) they sort out their play, determine what works and what doesn't
They are maybe top-10 or so.
If they don't figure it out, it will be a disgrace.
