Overview
- Tennessee fell 93-50 at South Carolina on Feb. 8, the largest defeat in Lady Vols history, following a 30-point loss to UConn a week earlier.
- Coach Kim Caldwell said her team "had a lot of quit," cited a lack of player leadership, and noted the players must decide to fix recurring issues.
- South Carolina’s Dawn Staley advised Caldwell to avoid public criticism and to rebuild player buy-in with a positive approach.
- Reports from the loss highlighted 18 Tennessee turnovers, 28% shooting (18-for-65), 10-for-44 from three, and a Gamecocks 2-3 zone that forced perimeter shots.
- The Lady Vols have dropped three of their last four and next face former coach Kellie Harper’s Missouri on Thursday before visiting No. 4 Texas on Sunday.
