Why don't they face guard DeShield? She's the only one who can do any real long term damage in the Tenn Offense. And she doesn't work hard enough to get open if she's being closely duarded.
 
Sykes behavior in this game is so weird. Got an and 1 and spent the time before her free throw chewing out her teammates? She missed the free throw.
 
Syracuse just got saved by the 3rd QTR buzzer. Pretty awful final minute.
 
My two least favorite women's programs. I genuinely don't know who to pull for. I want to beat both of them -- and wish we could in the same FF.

I say "least favorite women's programs" because the TN men are awful and not worthy of my emotional energy. (-:

Remember way back when UT fans talked about how much better the SEC was than the Big East and now its one of the basement Big East teams drilling them?
 
Russell goes from a career high game to just 5 shot attempts so far.
 
It's funny, the TENN fans are whining about the refs but they've got 17 FT's to Cuse's 7.

Looks like Syracuse is going to get the win. Not a great game from TN, but at least they made it deeper than most thought they would.

Really? Not sure how you spin this as a positive. I would argue Syracuse was the first really good team they played this tournament and they are being taken to the woodshed. Holly with no answers. They had S Carolina out of the way and still will have their Final Four drought.

I think this is very positive from a UConn standpoint: Holly keeps her job and TN is shut out of the Final Four again.

I would really have liked for UConn and TN to meet in an earlier round somewhere in Connecticut, but this is a likeable result.
 
Let's talk path to #11 for a moment. It will be Cuse and Yoodub on the right side of the bracket. Heaven help us, one of them will play for a title.

On the other side, UConn has a winnable game versus Texas, then a challenge from Baylor. Get through that, and the task starts to look more than likely a UConn result.

Right?

Tennessee's best offense in this game is to get fouled, miss the second free throw, and get an offensive rebound.

Syracuse just committed a lane violation on a second free throw, perhaps to combat this strategy, but Tennessee made the free throw anyway.

I do not believe that Peck is doing this game.

I heard the absurd comment and naturally assumed...

My bad.

i am sure I will get some backlash for saying this but having graves, carter, and reynolds hurt at the same time just made this impossible. TN was never going to win like that. if they had been healthy, TN would be headed to Indy.....NO DOUBT
 
Tennessee down 20 with less than 5 minutes... They are going home... Down, down, down...

I wouldn't pencil in Baylor for the FF just yet. I would put Oregon St./Baylor as a toss up.
