Alabama @ Tennessee (24) - 1/20/20

[eebmg]

Davis with miracle long 3 with .8 sec remaining. 65-63 TN

Sportscenter top play I think. Poor execution in that last play but miracles happen

 

[Bama fan]

Where’s @Bama fan when we need his Karma? This Alabama offense is as bad as I have ever seen. Most times it looks like they literally just let the clock wind down to 3 seconds and throw the ball at the backboard...50-41 with 5:10 left

I am watching two games. It took a 25 foot heave for the Vols to beat Bama!

Earlier today I made the comment that unlike past seasons, TN has beaten everyone they were supposed to beat this season. While that’s still the case, beating Bama by 2 at home on a prayer hardly inspires confidence. Really looking forward to Thursday night’s game.

Ha well congrats to Tennessee on finally beating the juggernaut that is Alabama women's basketball.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Get that pixie dust out of their system before our game

One thing for sure is that ANYBODY can coach better than Holly.... and I hope for the sake of TN that KJH is the person to take them places....

Having said that, cannot help but absolutely marvel at Tennessee's excitement having beaten Alabama on a 25 ft heave at the buzzer..... breaking 5 game losing streak (again, to ALABAMA)

The team celebrated like it had won the national championship..... and their crowd was delirious....

Akin to a scene I saw at Carrier Dome few years back when The Orange beat Florida State and crowd rushed the floor....

Cannot help thinking that Tennessee expectations are to be at this level but not with the Miss States the South Carolinas.... etc

Exactly who on that Alabama roster is great and to be feared Who is a McDonalds All American

I don't have a dog in the fight.... but i seldom have been so underwhelmed

I know I've said this before but it bears repeating.

The Vols fans have sorely underappreciated the genius of Holly Warlick. She skillfully dragged their expectations down so low to the point where they are ECSTATIC over a lucky 2-point win over Bama.

I hope Tennessee plays like this against LSU but I am suspecting they won't.

Emotional highs often lead to bounces. Most teams that beat UConn in the FF semis lost the final.

Alabama player great defense on that last play. But give credit to for making that shot.

 

[Only1coj]

This game was more mental than anything. In saying that, I believe that impacted the play of the LadyVols.
I don’t mind the celebration. They hadn’t beat UA in 5 straight attempts.
Celebrate the small victories and the BiG ones will come!

The power of prayer?

 

[SECbbfan24]

That has to rip your soul out as an Alabama fan lol

 

[Only1coj]

It’s always good to be trending in the right direction!

The power of prayer?

Prayer is a powerful thing.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Wow I missed that because I was watching Mississippi State-South Carolina. What a shot.

Bama gave South Carolina a reasonably tough game, but yes.

With all the parity that is clearly in the game today it simply amazes me that you can’t accept that teams, no matter the record, Aren’t going to lay down and lose to anyone. UConn fans are so consumed with the team, you used to be, that you fail to see your own faults. You barely beat UCF. It didn’t take a last second heave but it wasn’t a blow out either. Teams are BETTER across the board. I’m not sayin Tenn will beat you guys but I soooo hope they do!! Everyone is getting beat and losing to unranked teams and games are closer but you steadily point out other teams’ problems without acknowledging your own. Okay!!!

LOL. You must be new here. Every time we don't win by 50 and aren't up by 30 at halftime there are a dozen threads about what's wrong with the team. If there's one thing this fan base is good at, it's being critical of the team.

 

[stwainfan]

Last year Tennessee started 1-5 in SEC play.
This year 5-1 in SEC play. With wins over Georgia and Alabama. Two games last year's team lost.

No I’m not new. I’m always here but your board has threads that cover ALL of women’s basketball not just UConn . I like that the board has threads that highlight all teams. And you just made my post something else but okay.

 

[j66kicker]

Blah blah blah...Everyone is getting beat and losing to unranked teams and games are closer but you steadily point out other teams’ problems without acknowledging your own. Okay!!!

Whoa! "Everyone" isn't losing to unranked teams. Tennessee is losing to unranked teams. UConn last lost to an unranked team in 2012. That's 8 years ago. Okay!!!

 

[hoopsfan22]

What about the St. John's game in 2012? Were they ranked at the time? SNY had the stat after the UCF game that it was win #200 in a row against an unranked opponent. That seems like too short of a streak to go back 24 years.
