Missouri @ Tennessee (10) - 1/06/19

[HuskyNan]

This is a big win for Missouri. They needed this because their season has been disappointing so far.

I see in the box score that Meme Jackson was 0 for 9 and finished with only 2 points. Westbrook had 16 but it came on 5 of 19 shooting.

Missouri is 13-3. We’re they expected to be better? Honest question

Gotta be careful in heat of the moment.
Cunningham brings out the worst in me but she plays 100% for 40 minutes on offense and defense and is a TN killer so......

I think she has a bit of Dee in her. I’d take her on my team any day.

Did you see this on TV?? If so I'll have to go back and watch it.

Whoever the adult woman was on end of bench put her hand down. Sophie doesn’t take crap from anyone and went back and confronted her. I love it. Have some class and shake hands. No surprise someone on the Tennessee payroll acted like this though.

The Lady Vols lose to an unranked team at home. Someone please check with Margo for her post game comments.

Quick check of roster shows she’s Holly’s assistant. Not assistant coach. Actual assistant. Makes more sense.

I think it's just that they have been pretty average against the better teams on their schedule so far. 2-3 vs Top 60 kinda teams. They started the season ranked and fell out.

Missouri hadn’t beaten a Top 10 club on the road since 2001.

Not a major interaction but it will definitely add fuel to the fire if these teams meet again.

Sophie Cunningham is no doubt a great player and plays with a ton of toughness and confidence, but she puts other players in danger as she regularly throws elbows (intential or not) and racks up flagrant or unsportsmanlike fouls more frequently than anyone else I've seen.

Does Missouri play Notre Dame?

 

[Shades]

I don’t blame Sophie on that. It was deliberate disrespect. The lady had her hand down for Sophie and was raising it for the next person in line.

 

[DefenseBB]

Not at all, I’ve said something similar before. Holly Warlick is genuinely a nice person and is, apparently, an excellent associate head coach. But as the Head Coach, she has failed to develop her players, devise an effective offensive scheme (she’s still using PHS’s scheme from decades ago, one PHS herself had moved on from), and has failed to get her teams to play with a sense of urgency every single game.

...and hopefully, Fulmer gives her a lifetime contract..just sayin’

Who’s this player with the green hair getting all brave when Sophie’s walking away?

 

[DaBball]

I get a giggle out of it. That’s just Sophie. Plain and simple. Likely will never change.

Rae Burrell, but I don’t think its green.

Maybe

Does Missouri play Notre Dame?

If not, maybe Vince McMahon can set up a pay-per-view match on WWE between Sophie & Arike.

Always happy to see Tennessee go down.

ON the flip side, she and her staff have shown themselves to be fantastic recruiters. Very few teams in the entire country have recruited better than Tennessee the past 3 years...

No! Mabrey would shut her up

True, but also nobody has recruited better than Coach Law these past 3 years...

Totally agree with you..... she took her hand down... then do not walk through the line....

Agree with many at Tenn who have criticized cunning ham's over aggressiveness, but it is bush league to take hand away and not shake someones hand especially if you are an adult...

so here don't blame sophie

 

[Undercovervol]

Please, someone get us a coach. Just pitiful.
Btw, I’d take Cunningham over any of our timid players.
