Why is there a little part of me that wants to see UTENN beat N.D.? Then there is a little part of me that wants to watch N.D. spank UTENN.

Accidentally clicked Tennessee...I don't see this one being all that competitive though, should be an easy win for Notre Dame.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Green will beat Orange, but both are truly vile colors.

 

[itsasport]

Tenn has in the past, lost to terrible teams, and beaten top teams- I think including ND. But not this year,

 

[EricLA]

Gotta say I'm rooting for Tenn on this one. Think ND wins, but I'd like to see Tenn win - only because I want the boo birds to lay off Holly and for her to get job security (if her job is insecure in any way)...

 

[Bayareahusky]

I have always thought that Tennessee will show well in this game.... perhaps come within 10 pts .... because they want to come to play vs Notre Dame.... this is their time in the limelight.... they have played Notre Dame pretty well in the past.... Holly will continue to be a non-influencer on the team....

 

[Charliebball]

the game to save Holly and perhaps the Tennessee season...............probably not going to happen but if Tenn can find somebody to hit some threes you just never know..........

Huge chunks of me want both!

While I don’t think the LV’s have a bat’s chance in hell, I voted for TN because, “What the Hell?”

 

[Bigboote]

Notre Dame running away. But I wish both could lose.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Sorry Vol fans, ND wins this one 81-63.

 

[Husky fanatic]

While TN will be pumped and make it close, I give ND the edge in this one

 

[Ozimoto]

I picked the Irish, but if they get off to a slow start and Tennessee begins to feel they have a chance to win, the green people could have their hands full.

 

[IrishTiger]

Betting odds have ND as a 20.5 Favorite. I’m a ND fan and I would not touch that. 20.5 is a lot. I’d be more comfortable about ND covering that if the game was at home. ND has to come out ready. Can’t afford to start off the game slow.

I'd give 20 points easy.

Tennessee games can be so unpredictable, but I'm struggling to imagine how this game is anything but a blowout unless ND just plays horrible and their guards can't make shots. Westbrook will get her points, but Jackson and Davis have looked like lost children lately. Cheridene Green has looked good rebounding against smallish teams, but Turner and Shepard will turn her into a spectator. The freshmen Z Green and Rae Burrell bring some good energy but are very hit and miss.

Come on IT. Have a little faith in your team. Surely if the Tide beat the LV’s by 21, the Irish are good for a 30+ point beat down.

Michelle didn’t get it quite right. The LV’s are not “closer to the pack.” They’re at the back of the pack now when it comes to top WBB programs.

 

[hoopfan515]

Michelle doesn't get that Lady Vol fans will not be satisfied unless they become an ELITE program again. By elite they want to be back in the Top 5 and have a shot or at least be a contender for the NC like UCONN, Notre Dame and now Louisville. There are better coaches out there that can probably do better than Holly.

 

[Beemer]

I want both of them to lose. Badly.

 

[hoopsfan22]

What does she mean Tennessee athletic departments merged? Did they have separate athletic departments for different sports? Different campuses?
