#2 South Carolina @ #21 Tennessee - 2/18/21

Very good win for Tennessee, they played tough. and the refs really called some horrible nonsense against them. Anyone else notice that Boston looked gassed at many times throughout the game? Great player, but it almost appears that she is out of shape. Wonder what excuse Dawn is going to use for the loss.

What does Dawn's sweatshirt mean?

It's over!! Tennessee wins

 

[stwainfan]

That's a big win.

SC’s last 3 games:

• Lose to UConn
• Grind out a win over average LSU team
• Lose to TN

Bad time for the Gamecocks to be struggling, but this is the way it is in college basketball right now.

Now I’m just here to see what Dawn Staley’s excuse for why they lost! Got my popcorn ready

 

[Urshurak]

Nike ball, so SC was at a disadvantage. Just sayin

Kellie Harper will be there for 20 years.

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Gutsy comeback. SC looked completely out of sync on offense in the second half. Crazy.

I will give Dawn credit to end this game nicely.

average LSU team

Tennessee needs to sign Harper to a 10 year guaranteed contract @CamrnCrz1974

 

[YSRFrisbee]

I’m happy for Coach Harper! She’s been nothing but a class act since taking over the program. UT and SC will be very difficult to beat in the NCAAT! Should be a good one!

Got out-coached tonight....not so much that Tennessee out-coached USC, but that USC's poor coaching killed its chances. Cooke took WAAAY too many attempts for what she was actually making, and not enough attempts to keep pounding Boston and the paint inside. Getting tired of the poor fundamentals on making point-blank lay-ups and protecting the basketball. This team has been coached into a sweet-sixteen caliber program right now....

Only fitting that Tennessee be the team to break SC conference streak.

 

[stwainfan]

Harper is the right coach for Tennessee.

LSU was playing SC tough. Definitely thought Tennessee easily was one of the teams capable of doing this, they at least have the size to matchup and have more talent to matchup

My general take on the Gamecocks is that if you can stop their transition game, they really struggle in the half court. In the last 3 games UConn, LSU & TN all forced SC to try to beat them in the half court. Last year, with Ty Harris, SC was great in the half court. Without Harris, they are not the same team.

I wonder how Mulkey will feel if SC doesn’t drop much in the polls. 🤔

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I don't know if SC was tired but that wasn't great effort on their part, IMO. Tennessee really looked like they wanted it more, and that's a cliche I almost never buy into.

They heavily thrive in scoring in transition or getting the ball to Boston in the post. If you are taking away Boston. during half court, its a bit of a struggle for them to score. LSU actually hung around with SC the first game a lot more because of this before they ran away with it due to transition baskets late in the game. If you take away the transition game, SC is much different team offensively.

SC is still a great team but not the same without Harris and company as last season.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Can someone please post the post conference....would like to hear Dawn's comments.

 

[SECbbfan24]

SC doesn’t drop

She would take her jacket off if they didn't drop.

 

[Baylor1994]

I’ll join mulkey in a jacket toss too lol

Even though she need to schedule tougher teams lol she still said what she said. N I agree with it
