Battle for Atlantis Tournament -- November 19-21

[CL82]

Happy for MU but feel like it makes our win less impressive. Makes me more worried about tomorrow.

We broke them

 

[Centerstream]

We broke them

Some seem to be claiming that they lost both games because of not having Rori Harmon. Period.

 

[nwhoopfan]

another bad loss for Walz, hard to keep defending him.

??

I'm not aware that he has a long string of these. The level of success he's brought to Louisville is unprecedented for the school. Maybe a bad loss here or there can be overlooked when considering multiple Final 4's?

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA out to a hot start with a 26-18 lead over TN after the end of the first quarter

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA now up 38-22 wow

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA leads 46-36 at half. UCLA on a 4 minute scoring drought before hitting a 3 before the 2nd quarter ended.

 

[Coler]

I want to see the fallout if Tennessee loses. What next will their fans want their players banned of doing next?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Tennessee usually has a big 3rd quarter so this could turn around.

 

[SECbbfan24]

55-38 lead now

 

[nwhoopfan]

Vols could drop to 0-3 this year against anybody halfway decent. I can't see that Harper is doing any better than Warlick. Actually honestly she's doing worse if you look at Tourney success.

 

[stwainfan]

These refs are awful.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well, Tennessee has twice as many FTA as UCLA, so can't be complaining about that.

edit--ended up 31-12 FTA and 26-16 personal fouls, both in favor of the Vols.

 

[SECbbfan24]

UCLA beats TN 80-63

UCLA went off from 3 all day and TN had a 2 to 1 turnover to assists ratio (Yes not assists to turnover ratio)

When you let a team go 16-30 from 3 you have a defensive problem.
You also get outrebounded 41-30 Tennessee is a bad team.

Oh dear. Looks like I may have to spend more time on Volnation later tonight.

I'm holding off on posting a certain chair dance meme because it would be a karma rule violation while UConn is playing.

This team does not seem dialed end defensively as previous teams. Rebounding for a team with Rickea, Horston, Key should be WAY better than this. Offense is too much 1 on 1, there is zero identify.

I've honestly tried to defend Kellie because she has challenged her team with this schedule but this on par with Holly ball so far. Frankly I think last years group was better despite not having nearly as much talent and depth.

Also this is a good lesson that more talent does not always equate to better/more wins. TN may end up getting it together down the road but you have to admit its been massively underwhelming so far.

 

[Boxerpups4me]

Good grief..that’s as some of the worst three point defense I have ever seen in my life from Tennessee.

I will hold off until UConn wins. Gloating may mess with Karma.

Let the Gloating begin.

 

[TheGOAT23]

Karma said that she’s good. Gloat away!

 

[Plebe]

UConn wins!
Tennessee loses!
I dance on chairs!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Marquette has been leading most of the way but Zags up 1 w/ 5 minutes left. Looks like it could go down to the wire.

 

[nwhoopfan]

One of the Truong twins isn't playing today. Maxwell got the start and is having another solid game.

 

[Iluvacc2]

Have the fahr Kellie posts start yet on the vols board?

 

[Iluvacc2]

I forgot about Kiki Rice on UCLA’s roster. If she and Osborne are hitting, the Bruins are as good as anyone not named Stanford in the Pac12.

Can’t wait to see Rice and Juju Watkins in the BIG10 in a couple years. Sorry Nwhoops, Farmfan and the other west coast fans
