First game I have seen of Tennessee. Wow pathetic. Hw should be fired not because of her team is bad but because of incompetence. Run n gun. Absolutely no offense. Diamond looked looked like she was pouting at the back during holly's pre game speech.

They should, and they might. But for now, DD chucks up a brick, Green Bay gets the rebound, and sometimes scores by actually running offense. 18-14 GB

I was sort of being tongue-in-cheek. TN in the past has usually had better athletes, and often players with more individual hoops skills. Problem is they don't run offense (never did under Pat either) and are scoring challenged. Unless they can hold teams to under 60 points (in general), they are going to lose because they just don't recruit scorers (or coach team players)...

Interesting you think that! So do the Tennessee fans. Lets see how it plays out?

I was being tongue-in-cheek to J66's post - saying that TN was bigger, more athletic, and faster than GBW. When your team is bigger, faster, and more athletic, you SHOULD win by a lot... ;)
 
Deshields 3-8 shooting. Just announced Vols have more turn overs than made baskets. She's sitting now. It ain't over 'til it is over.
 
BTW it will be interesting to see who prevails - a team that runs offense and plays like a team, or the more athletic team of mismatched parts that prefers a helter-skelter pace...

It may be close, even with the "coaching mismatch." TN is just overwhelmingly physically superior. Just an observation : GB team is 100% Caucasian - on the floor and on the bench. Not big jumpers.

I really don't get all the hype over DeShield's 'athleticism'. Watching her play, run, walk, stand, she just sags. Even in the few games they won she moves like she has stickum on the soles of her shoes.

That's a great question. Would love to see someone ask Q that. I suspect that they didn't want the margin of victory to be any closer. Army outplayed them for the entire 2nd half. But not much that that coach does surprises me... :rolleyes:

I don't recall if it was Lawson or Lobo who mentioned this and quickly added, "that's just who they are". The Albany coach looks like a villain from the Adam West era Batman show.

Uconn played Idaho in the first round of the NCAA tourney in 2013 and won by a score of 105-37.

But you have to admit that Baylor looks downright ferocious against teams that are defensively challenged. Downright.

Green Bay hanging in there, up 45-44 on TN after 3. TN getting frustrated. Carter got called for a reach-in foul, then shoved the GB girl after the call (and that was a no-call, although the ref saw it and warned her). They showed the replay in the arena and it got the GB fans riled up. GB is keeping up by getting fouled trying to make layups against much bigger defenders. Then making the FTs.
 
Baylor wins 89-59..

That was my first time watching a full Baylor game and I'm pretty impressed with the lady bears. They can just hit you with wave after wave of bigs... and they have all types.. nifty undersized "bigs" like Davis, dominating centers like Brown, powerful forwards like Mompremier.. Cohen, who's a big but plays like a stretch-4 was hitting jumpers from near the arc... and I'm still "forgetting" 2 or 3 more bigs..

And the backcourt.. I really like Niya Johnson.. she's the definition of an unselfish point guard. Alexis Jones and Wallace provide that dynamic scoring punch.

Baylor looks like a complete team! They have all the parts of a championship caliber squad.
 
and of course Tennessee gets the call from the officials. Some things never change. If GB fights back I am sure the shot clock will fail at their expense as well
 
Looks like TN is gonna pull it out. Some out-of-character good shooting in last 2 minutes. Up 54-49 on GB with 37 seconds left. Will come back Sunday - one more chance to see superior coaching overcome superior athleticism :cool:

Win or lose I've seen a lot of smiles on their faces. They'll remember the game against the 'great' Tennessee for the rest of their lives. Their coach reminds me of my favorite upstate New York drunken uncle.

I switched to Oregon State who is absolutely dismantling Troy, 71-28
 
Can someone tell me how Kansas State made into the tourney? Clearly what you do in your conference makes no difference as they went 8-10 in the BIG12
 
It must be the superior SEC layup mojo defense. Gris-gris, don't you know!
