Good first quarter until the final minute. Okot is getting bullied down low and keeps looking for a foul.

Well, we’re down 8 to start the 4th. Feels like it should be worse, but we’re hanging in there.

It's been nice to get a little conversation about the actual game in between all of these Tennessee history lessons being shoved down our throats on the broadcast.

We lack fundamentally. There is no excuses for this as hard work helps with determination, fundamentals and motivation.

This is why I hate watching UT’s women. It’s a love fest for Pat the entire game. I respect her and her legacy, but every game I seem to watch is almost a recruiting video for UT no matter how good or bad they are, winning or losing.

I don’t know how we’ve won any games looking at how they played last night. Ball handling was even more atrocious than the men. There was very little GAFs when they passed the ball and even less GAFs when rebounding or going for a loose ball. There was one point that the ball was loose and we had two girls within distance of it while it slowly bounced out of bounds. No one thought to go get it. They just watched it bounce. It was pathetic. Maybe they were tired from touring the HOF and walking the hills in downtown K-town earlier in the day.***

Recruiting and coaching aren't the same thing. We have a really good ( one of these things ) for women's basketball.

Well.. it was “We Back Pat” week. Even our players were wearing the t-shirt and Nikki Fargas played for her, so it makes sense they’d spend a lot of time on her. I get what you’re saying though.

I will give him credit though - he signed 3 McDonald's AA for next year's class. My MSU thought about that is - is being a MCD AA as great as it was 15-20 year ago. It was an exclusive group then.
3? That’s kind of crazy. Rickea Jackson was the first one we ever signed.

To DawgStudent's credit, McDonalds All American may not be as exclusive as it used to be. But the good thing is the incoming at least caught the eye of someone that hopefully knows basketball talent. I just hope that once they get to campus, "we" can help along the process of them growing as basketball players, instead of being as good as they'll ever be as freshmen.

I've been saying similar things all season, but we have no point guard and it is killing us.

If this team had Morgan William, they'd be so much better. The turnovers are ridiculous and they're not improving at all.

I think they'll find their way into the tourney and maybe win a game, but that's probably the ceiling for this season. Acceptable, but better ball security and smarter playmaking would go a long way.

This right here. I think we have 4 street ballers and 1 post player at any given time on the court. I like seeing shooters shoot, but it's like their first move is to always drive to the rim, then they make the decision to shoot or pass after they're in trouble. Then it's a well guarded shot or an off balance inaccurate pass. Works sometimes, but when you go against a disciplined defense like Tennessee, you're just asking to be made to look foolish.

Absolutely.

Only thing I'd say is Powe is not a street baller. She's one of the best 3 point shooters in the country and should be launching 8 to 10 a game. A better playmaker would challenge the defense and create more opportunities for her.

Ok. We must play them this time every year then.
