    Over or Under: Ayanna to Dunk 5 Times in her First Year

    As for those opposed to dunking for the reason of missed bunnies, those that can dunk do so at a higher success rate than those taking bunnies. The dunk became the preferred method of scoring in the men’s game because the likelihood of missing it or getting it blocked is less than that of a lay up.

    Over or Under: Ayanna to Dunk 5 Times in her First Year

    This was considered dunking in traffic, as the defender runs under her. Pat wanted no dunks in traffic for fear of a defender unintentionally injuring the player.

    “Fall” 2021 TV Viewership

    Comparing ESPN to ESPN2 isn't really a good comparison. I am still annoyed at how many hotels and other places only carry ESPN, but not ESPN2.

    Muffet is Ivey's biggest cheerleader. There is no animosity there. Ivey is like a daughter to Muffet.

    Monument Will Honor UConn’s Proud Olympic History

    The Lady Vols represent more than just basketball. Soccer, swimming, softball, and a long history in track and field

    Olympic Team Announced

    She won't. She is announcing the games and happy to be in that position. For someone that nobody likes, it's interesting that some like her enough for that distinction. Her popularity isn't suffering one bit.

    Olympic Team Announced

    The full out effort thing is kinda funny. Some will argue she lacked effort, even in the years when she lead the league in efficiency. She's one of those players that glides, so to speak, and it looks effortless, but the stat sheet is filled. She has led the team in points, rebs, and assists...

    Olympic Team Announced

    So how does she have some of the highest ever efficiency numbers in the league which is aided by her rebounds and assists? I'm guessing you've interviewed those other 12 players. Many have certainly come to her defense and have left other teams to be her teammate while in LA. Now, in...

    Olympic Team Announced

    You do realize that Candace had the only triple double leading into the 2016 Olympics during the qualifying play. In other words, you don't get a triple double that includes assists and rebound if you don't pass and you don't hustle. Let's not let facts get in the way, though. Candace...

    Paige is a finalist for the Naismith Trophy

    Both Dana Evans and Rhyne Howard have less talent around them and play in Power 5 conferences, which makes it even more difficult to do what they do. With all the ranked SEC teams, Howard gets very few easy games against over matched opponents.

    Westbrook = Rebounding Machine

    New coach just has to show the recruits her capability. The recruits will come with the emergence of the Lady Vols. That's just how recruiting works. The good news is Kellie is a great talent evaluator and doesn't need to rely on rankings that are highly inaccurate at best. Chelsea Dungee...

    Westbrook = Rebounding Machine

    You should have been excited. Heck, the blind could see that she was a baller. She averaged 15 points and 5 assists as a sophomore.

    Westbrook = Rebounding Machine

    She still has the fire. She was converted to the point guard position and it took some time to adjust.

    Westbrook = Rebounding Machine

    Basically, just maturity and consistency. She had already developed a really good shot that was on display during her sophomore season. She still had some games where the turnovers were high, but overall, she was a much better decision maker with a positive assist to turnover ratio. It was...

    Westbrook = Rebounding Machine

    Horston is currently battling through some physical issues. With that said, she has also dialed back her own offensive game and is playing the point guard, killing it with the assists. This is her first year where she is predominantly the point guard. Last season, she played the off guard...

    South Carolina ver Arkansas

    Boston had just 10 points last season against TN when going up against equal size and also another freshman. This year, her footwork looks much improved. The body shame comments are also way off

    Walker All American

    This won't be a popular opinion here and congrats to Walker, but based on performances against top teams, I would not have her as first team. My choice would have been Satou Sabally or Renia Davis. While Davis doesn't have any top wins, her performance in the games against top teams has been...

    Finally

    Maryland and Louisville both seem to have the inside track on the 4th one seed and the first 2 seed, especially if they each win out and win their conference tournaments.

    Is Sabrina the G.O.A.T?

    I disagree. Swoopes is a player that should be considered and she only has one title and that has alot to do with the fact that she had to carry her team. Candace Parker is another. She only played 3 seasons and won 2 titles in 3 years. Tamika Catchings has only 1 title, but that doesn't...

    Geno On The 6th Member of Next Year's Recruiting Class

    Evina needs to play the 2 guard. She's better suited for that position. Her issues at TN in regards to chemistry did not become an issue until during the season. When teams aren't winning, players usually start harping at each other and pointing the finger of blame. When teams are winning...

    Westbrook Waiver Appeal Denied

    Perhaps, Maryland didn't seek a waiver for Mimi, because they knew the reasons were invalid and to not even attempt it. Mimi seemed to understand that transferring equates to a sit out year and that she had no overriding reason that would get it waived.

    Westbrook Waiver Appeal Denied

    I don't think that was what was asked. In an appeal, you must add more details (facts) that were not previously provided. Another very important detail about the facts is that you are assuming Phil Fulmer has some detailed knowledge. All he has is what the previous staff and Westbrook may...

    Westbrook Waiver Appeal Denied

    TN didn't stand in the way and left it open for Evina to transfer to any school she chose. This is unlike UNC where Hatchell, after the transfer of Deshields, blocked certain players from transferring to Tennessee. She allowed them to transfer under certain conditions...not TN, who was on the...

    Is Evina’s Waiver Request Tied to Prince’s?

    Seems like alot of speculation without facts here. Why throw things like this out here? I'm not sure about Evina's situation, but I find it hard to believe the TN medical staff would mistreat any of the players. The medical staff is top notch...to the point that LV WNBA players return to TN...

    Westbrook waiver denied

    It already reads her hand picked successor was found to be incapable, inept, and several other words. Adding toxic doesn't matter, because she's gone. It's on to the next chapter. Also, that whole hand picked thing isn't exactly the truth. Thank goodness the Hart is gone and his damage has...

    Westbrook waiver denied

    This is not why he kept her around. He kept her around because she signed the #1 recruiting class and then followed that up with the #3 recruiting class. He also made it known that he would do all he could to protect the house that Pat built. Going into last season, friend or not, it was...

    Westbrook waiver denied

    You can trust that the $$ in Women's basketball is not enough to worry about a label. Also, how can you label any program as any thing when the entire staff has been replaced and in year 1? However, what I have been seeing is that the NCAA must be in some type of mood as the waiver denials...

    Care to elaborate on knee and TN sports medicine? I've never heard of any issues there. Just wondering

    For UConn’s Westbrook, the waiting is the hardest part

    Because Geno didn't make it to the big game.

    For UConn’s Westbrook, the waiting is the hardest part

    Remember, the teams used to play twice in one year. I believe 6 in row were when UConn had their best team ever. 8 wins came in a 4 year span. That's not long enough of a span to start saying either coach was out of their league. Pat had 3 in a row when the teams only played once a year...

    For UConn’s Westbrook, the waiting is the hardest part

    I don't know that and you don't either, because she also would have had different players. Holly had 2 years with horrible recruiting. Players that had previously planned to go to TN chose else where after her announcement.

    NCAA denies South Carolina's Littleton waiver. Does this give any clue to Westbrook?

    Considering one was dismissed from the university, not the coach, for fighting, that shouldn't be a surprise. What message would the NCAA be sending if they let players dismissed due to disciplinary actions get a waiver? Both TN players, the coach didn't want dismissed. It was at the AD level.

    For UConn’s Westbrook, the waiting is the hardest part

    Kellie coached that game with pre-scripted minutes. By halftime, every player had gotten on the floor. Kellie also did not press Carson-Newman and did not run any defenses to speed them up and create turnovers that lead to those fast break points. They played a very methodical game that...

    For UConn’s Westbrook, the waiting is the hardest part

    So winning those last 3 games against UConn doesn't count...and no, Candace Parker did not play in one of those games. What some fail to recognize is that Pat was always evolving. There's a reason why her program remained relevant across decades. Pat did rest on the whole idea that rebounding...
