I watched the game. LSU was folding without extra help from the ref's but, because it's Christmas time, the LV's felt in the giving mood and refused to take the game. Final total was 25 fouls on
LSU 18 on UT. Of course about half of the Volnation board are blaming the ref's, the other half are sane and blame the team/coach.

what are they saying on the Summitt?

I will tell you they were clean steals because they were all of of inbounds plays. Having Bashaara injured really hurt us in a big way. We played really clean hands off defense. Our demise was on offense, the ball was getting stuck in our hands and then when they went to create one on one LSU did a flop job all night like I've never seen. And the refs ate it up. Ask A'ja. She tweeted about how terrible the refs were. However it's no excuse for us missing critical free throws and not getting the job done defensively.

she tweets... oh brother
 
Cmon Boneyarders, havent you come to expect the referee blame game on any game the LVs lose? It is their way. It always has been. I can only imagine what The Summit looks like now. I am sure LVs had game in hand if it weren't for the damn refereeing!!!

Not to bust on the LVs, but I follow WCBB pretty closely, and I don't see Stanford, LVille, Duke, ND, any of the other top programs blame officiating like Tenn does..... OK Baylor is guilty.

Someone else said it..... 25 fouls LSU 18 Tenn...... but it wasn't lopsided enough apparently. If bad reffing..... yes, it normally will equal out badly for both teams.

I am not a member of the Summitt. I do read the Volnation board.
I find it entertaining and you never know who will show up as a UT fan. On the Volnation board, some are blaming the ref's and the ones who don't need medication are pointing to the players/coach

I can't imagine they would be doing anything OTHER than blaming the refs. Falling for the "flops". I don't think they were flops when Simmons poked the LSU player in the eye and later picked up the "T". Those things are just lack of discipline. Despite that LSU put on a clinic on how to nearly blow a 15 point lead at crunch time. Terrible job taking care of the ball.
 
In the post game, Holly said, "We'll learn from it." Many on the Vol boards are blaming Holly. Apparently she's too nice. Perhaps she thought the slogan was, "We pat backs."

No kidding, eh? She also tweeted how excited she was to get to meet the players and coaches at UCONN, how much she loved first night, and how much fun she had with the Huskies and their fans. Can't read much into the tweets of a 17 year old girl.

when she gets 23-24 it will make more sense lol
 
Holly was contrite and honorable at the presser.
Admitted the team didn't play D until the end.
The problem is that there are aspects of D that the kids simply don't understand or have not been taught
Leaving enormous gaps in their execution.
Their switching and covering for penetrating guards is deplorable…No that's wrong.
it's non-existent.
And it's not like they don't have the big bodies to shore up the back line.
It's just that they don't have a clue.
not the kid's fault.
 
Would love to attend a TN practice..... because I want to see what the gals are being taught..... fundamental x's and o's I do not see.... on offense OR defense.

Great way to make a good first impression. Parkers number retired, A'ja Wilson there and Tenn comes back and loses LSU 80-77. Its a little early but this may be the start of something good for UConn fans because this just might have cost Tenn a one seed in the NCAAs. Great way to start the New Year if your a UConn fan.

I think UConn, Stanford (because they will most likely blitz the PAC12 which currently has 4 Top 25 teams, so their only loss is vs. UConn which was their 2nd game of the season), and the ACC winner (most likely ND or Duke) are pretty much locks for the #1 seed. And the 4th #1 seed will be the ACC #2 team (ND or Duke) or the top SEC team?

This is a really great and interesting point. Tennessee coaches can say "come to Tenn - play with Russell for 3 years and Graves for 2 years. Help put us near the top to challenge for a NC". But playing with those kids is great if you want to be friends with them. It's alarming to hear Holly say she's not taught the team offense (or defense - not sure which it was). But getting back to playing with "player X or Y"... I really hope Wilson and her family take a long and hard look at the team chemistry and how the coaches run practices.

Her parents really want A'ja to take a steady and objective look at all 4 teams and make the best decision irrespective of any emotions involved. A'ja's mom is making a list of pros and cons of each program. One of the most important has to be how the coaches develop and coach the players. And watching a UCONN practice vs. watching a Tennessee practice (or SC or UNC for that matter) has to be like night and day for recruits to witness first hand.

I was talking to Milford about that tonight - UCONN runs a true motion offense. More often than not, when they grab a rebound, there are only 1-2 dribbles, and then the ball is continuously passed up and around the court in running offense. How many other teams set up offense with a guard dribbling at random around the perimeter, without any discernible purpose, trying to find a crack in the zone, or pull the man to man defense out of position, but WITHOUT utilizing passing, which makes defenses react much more quickly? It happens an awful lot, even when you watch other "top" teams.

Compare how UCONN runs offense and plays defense and compare that to the other 3 teams, and if that's at, or near, the top of her list in importance, then the choice should be relatively simple...

Yes, and in the times that UCONN starts standing around it is amazing how much they start looking like those other offenses. The question to ask oneself is why during those times is the team standing around rather than moving with their usual efficiency and energy.
 
One Lady Vols fan take on the Game. Margo uploads a video after each Lady Vol Game.

Sometimes she's objective and other times........!!!!!

I'm thinking the Big 12 champion could be the 4th #1 seed.
 
LOL @ the video.

She has passion, I give her that.

What I find interesting after watching the game on replay was that the technicals were probably the difference maker in the game.

Danielle Ballard (who is from Memphis Tennessee) pretty much scored at will. Twice she had wide open layups while being guarded by Jasmine Jones who Vol fans say is a lock down defender. I didn't see it.

Izzy Harrison was fantastic. I really like her and Graves game. Hats off to Harrison, even though a loss, she played great.

One final note, LSU did NOT play that great down the stretch. Threw the ball away, TO's at costly times (their PG walked the ball up the court and got a 10 second call) and still managed to come away with a victory.

That is my biggest take from the game!

The technicals where huge. I would bet that the ref got tired of Simmons complaining. It looked to me she was whining to the refs several times before the "T" was called.

And does anyone think that Pat would have been called for a "T" if she acted like Warlick did?
