ND vs Tennessee...or, is it possible for both teams to lose?

[msf22b]

Start of the second half
The script said talk up Turner, so they invent an effective first half for her, nonsense.
Tennessee playing on the good side of their regular offensive game
ND seems to be playing the game at UTenn's pace.

 

[msf22b]

Maybe Turner's ears were burning
She just made two good plays...waking up perhaps.
Tennessee is so predictable...you'd think they'd figure it out.
there are HS teams that could defend them

 

[SCGamecock]

Alexa Middleton should be benched until the fourth. She's doing nothing for Tennessee except bricking the ball and turning it over.

 

[Uhuru]

Switching over to Clemson-VA Tech now. Should be better basketball than this garbage.

 

[BigBird]

UT wants no part of UConn, and the reason is pretty obvious. ND is having a rather "off" night, but still leads by 11 presently.

 

[msf22b]

This is the point of the game that UTenn has a tendency to throw in the towel.
Let's see.

 

[Jimbo]

This hasn't been Notre Dame's best shooting game, but it looks like they'd need to have an abysmal shooting game for Tennessee to keep up with them over 40 minutes.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Stupid turnover at a key time, but got away with it.

 

[msf22b]

Who are we?
And how do we win?

About UTenn from Doris...They don't know

Fun (and a little sad) to see Tennessee so denigrated

 

[Zorro]

ND IS #3 and it IS a very weak year, all around.

 

[HuskyNan]

Pee Ewwwww.

ND fans used to pretty O from their team must be pitching a fit tonite.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

"inept" offense by Tenn - it's official!

 

[Rocket009]

...and defense

 

[Jimbo]

O'Brien: "so, becoming a turnover-fest…"
Burke: "This feels like a November game…"
Speaking of ineptitude, did anyone else notice ESPN's graphic during the halftime show that said the UConn-South Carolina game would be at UConn next month? I imagine that's news to South Carolina.

 

[Zorro]

Any word on DD?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Broadcast team now throwing both under the bus. Feels like a November game, etc.

 

[HuskyNan]

Holly has her best scowly face on. That will make a difference for sure.

 

[msf22b]

Tennessee's folding right on schedule.

 

[Blue Huskie]

"Who knows how the UCONN game would have gone" he says "with Turner"? Well if they shot like they are tonight with the Turnovers we would have won by 40.

 

[Zorro]

Somebody better run by Margo;s house and hide all the sharp implements!

 

[Dove]

Did Tennesse really have to hire Summit look-a-like?

 

[BigBird]

This is the point of the game that UTenn has a tendency to throw in the towel.
Let's see.

Towel has flown. After this, #18 UT should move up to around 12th. Yeah, I know.

 

[Woof 101]

Why can't ND play this way against UConn?

if Notre Dame is #3 then it is a very weak year

No criticism here just say'n....Having played a lot in the day as they say and a decent amount of time volunteer coaching, basketball is one of the games that teams can tend at times to play down to the competition. This is where coaching should take its place.
Everyone brings their best vs UConn....ND took TN lightly until the half time chewing....

 

[vballcoach]

Any word on DD?

I don't understand how they're not talking about DD on the bench. She came in about 6 min into the 3rd quarter and then went right back out, and neither moment was noted by the broadcasters.

 

[reno tony]

How is ND playing poorly? They are 52% from the floor, 43% behind the arc and 83% at the line. Holding opponent to 39 pts(13 a quarter) for three quarters. What game are you folks watching?

 

[Zorro]

I shouldn't have said that. Truth to tell, I really feel for Margo, and for once I am not being sarcastic. Remember how we felt back in, what was it, 05?, when we lost five games?

 

[CTyankee]

If Tennessee loses by more than 20 I think they drop out of the top 20... If they lose by more than 25 I think they drop further, possibly out of the top 25...

Switching over to Clemson-VA Tech now. Should be better basketball than this garbage.

ND not playing bad - much better in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Also having fun watching them break the
Tenn press. Tenn is leaving too many players to press which leaves on offensive player wide open. ND took advantage of that a few times.

Tennessee's problem is the same old. They simply have no offense. Cooper and Deshields are too selfish and they have no idea how to run offense. What has Holly been teaching them for the past 2-3 years???

But I quoted your post because I disagree - this is great! Seeing Tennessee get their asses kicked is a great game any day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

 

[EricSD]

UT wants no part of UConn, and the reason is pretty obvious.

I don't think Texas is really afraid of UCONN...

 

[Kaizen]

I don't even see her on the bench

She was telling Holly how to coach..
