They sorely missed the presence of Justine Pissott from 3-point range. They need her because she can shoot but also can do other things. Tess Darby is limited in what she can do other than shoot. Not having Kaiya Winn (broken nose?) hurt as well. The Lady Vols press break was abominable all night against Ohio State's aggressive 2-2-1. Jordan Horston did a lot but she was pressing since she was in front of a lot of her family and friends. Seven turnovers is way too many for one player. Newcomer Jasmine Powell was great when she was attacking, but she really struggled in the 2nd half and made some really bad turnovers. Rickea Jackson showed signs of life and scored it decently, but I wasn't overly impressed with her effort and intensity. Very frustrating watching Tamari Key play. Key was outworked on the block by OSU's post and she got frustrated and picked up silly fouls. She really doesn't have the ability to avoid dumb fouls and that has not changed throughout her career. Overall, it was a tough game to watch as Tennessee's turnover woes from years past continue to cause them issues. I love Coach Harper, but 29 turnovers because of loose ballhandling? At some point, don't they have to show some improvement in taking care of the ball?
