I've watched a few UT games including the one yesterday.
The LVs are incredibly slow. Speed hasn't been a UT staple but this team looks even slower on the court than usual. They also turn the ball over far too much to be a competitive team. This lack of speed and chemistry results in defensive lapses that happen far too often.
RJ was off yesterday, not sure why but she just didn't have it. Spear has been pretty good a few games this year but also seems to struggle handling the ball. Powell has improved somewhat over last year but she sometimes fails to make good decisions.
I respect and admire Key for going out there to play but she is very limited in what she can give (not her fault, just the reality). Hollingshed confuses me as someone that athletic should be more fluid on the court. Striplin has come a long way but she too struggled yesterday.
The LVs have some individually talented players but right now the pieces aren't fitting. I was generally supportive of Harper as a good, not great, hire, but it's evident she isn't going to put the LVs back in the position of being a nationally competitive program, which is what the fans truly want and expect. Right now they will be lucky to get in the tournament even as a low seed.
