How many of the remaining games really matter from here on out? A couple more wins against Big East cupcakes and we've punched our ticket.
The fans keep wondering why the high school recruits don't sign with Tennessee. It's simple, all they have to do is look in the mirror. What 17 year old girl, as well as their parents, want to read all the vile that may be said about them on their forum. They have their self to blame.No. Rocky top in NOT the move is all. Recruits don’t know are care about the long lost tradition. Tennessee is not attractive to recruits but the fans don’t realize it.
So true however they’ll blame ESPN, D, Geno, God and the baby Jesus! lolThe fans keep wondering why the high school recruits don't sign with Tennessee.

Which has zero to do with this season and even less to do with UConn vs Tenn. Why, if you’re not careful, someone might think you’re trollingThe Gamecocks, on the road, beat UCONN by 20 points. Too much of a talent differential, even if fully healthy,
They're not wrong about the baby.So true however they’ll blame ESPN, D, Geno, God and the baby ! lol

Kelli is very well spoken and logical. I think she has done a very nice job at Tennessee considering what a mess they were under Holly. She needs to up her recruiting to truly make them Top 10 relevant again. So UConn is down Paige, Azzi, Carolyn and front court depth Ice Brady and yet we are still a 6.5 point favorite by Massey at Tennessee who will have 14,000 fanatics at the game. I never would have thought that at the beginning of the year. Wow, just wow and I am looking forward to this game.
That was then, this is now. UCONN is a much better team than in the beginning of the season. UCONN's 5 star players are at the top of the game and SC is in for a surprise. GO HUSKIES!!!The Gamecocks, on the road, beat UCONN by 20 points. Too much of a talent differential, even if fully healthy,
Have you guys been watching Key during any of her playing time at Tennessee? She is tall. Nothing more nothing less. If she is one of their best, that program is in a sorry state. Suarez? Good grief!! Keep reaching for straws. Horston is an athlete. Basketball player for now. She will go top 10 in the draft but like Davis her game will suffer at the pro level. Too much iso ball.Worth noting, Tennessee is also likely without 2 of their 3 best players in Key/Horston and lost another former starter/role player in Marta Suarez who left the team a few weeks ago. A shame both teams wont be at full strength but regardless it should be a good game to watch.
Geez, dial it back. There was no need to take a shot at KeyHave you guys been watching Key during any of her playing time at Tennessee? She is tall. Nothing more nothing less.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here. All I stated is that Tennessee will also be far from full strength tomorrow.Have you guys been watching Key during any of her playing time at Tennessee? She is tall. Nothing more nothing less.

You’re always welcome here. You’ve been on the Boneyard a lot longer and have a track record as a respectful and respected poster. Unfortunately, we still have some hatersNot sure what you're trying to accomplish here. All I stated is that Tennessee will also be far from full strength tomorrow.

No one has said officially that Horston is not playing, have they?Worth noting, Tennessee is also likely without 2 of their 3 best players in Key/Horston and lost another former starter/role player in Marta Suarez who left the team a few weeks ago.

I think a dose of objectivity is needed. I understand there is no love for UT, but Kellie Harper is in a tough spot. Think back to any sport and the track record of replacing a legend is an almost impossible challenge. This will apply one day to UConn whenever Geno decides to step down.Geez, dial it back. There was no need to take a shot at Key

In my "best of all possible worlds," we give Tennessee a beatdown tomorrow, they give LSU a beatdown, and then SC gives them both serious beatdowns. As they used to say in the English civil wars, "This is the proper order of things."Yeah................conference games. Hard to tell right now which one is going to give them the BIGGEST beat down. My $$ is on the Gamecocks.
Now, to return to more civil patterns of thought: I cringe when I hear coaches say they want their players to be "more physical." This never seems to mean playing with good energy and intensity, with athleticism. What it tends to mean in practice is lots of pushing and shoving in the paint -- that's ok, as long as it doesn't go to far -- and lots of bumping cutters, and lots of slapping at the ball, the arms, the hands. If the slapping and reach-ins go too far this is how we get concussions, eye-pokes, etc. One thing Tennessee is not known for is flopping. That at least doesn't appear to be the style of play Kellie coaches.In past years UConn being physical with Tenn has resulted in fouls on UConn. In past seasons Tenn being physical with UConn doesnt necessarily result in fouls on Tenn.
Aaliyah has been fine this year, and Nika has matured enough to know when she can be aggressive and when to dial it back just enough to avoid foul trouble. Plus we'll have 8 solid players.The big gorilla in the room is foul trouble. I am not convinced yet that AE, Lou, and Nika as a collective unit can stay out of foul trouble. I am not worried about Dorka and Aubrey. They are not foul factories. These two teams will have a physical game and our limited bench better be ready to perform well. I can't pick a winner cause I don't know how the fouls will fall. I really hope I am wrong! Worried over here in Denver
