You can have the best talent in the world, and it doesn't matter if they don't play as a team. My point simply was the LV's are not closer to the pack as Michelle Voepel suggests. Right now they are not a good basketball team, They are going to be watching the Big Dance on TV come March.

If Notre Dame plays their sometimes matador defense,Tenn. is capable of scoring 80 points. Notre Dame's fast break will however score at least 95 points on the hapless voles.Plebe's favorite irish person is capable of going off for 40 against this version of Knoxville's finest.:)

I think Tennessee will come within 20 pts vs ND... they always seem to play hard vs them.... of course they have no offense so they must hit the shots they take at a good percentage and hope that their defense makes up for any offensive shortcomings
 
The only way other then injury's Tenn comes close is if they bring in their patented foul trouble and the no foul ND team gets a taste of their own medicine and the fouls go in Tenn favor 40-5 and of course Tenn can make them

I think that ND will lead by about 25-30 by the 4th quarter and the LV would cut it down to about 15 by the end of the game to lose "respectively".
What I hope is, that TN wins the game so UConn goes up to number 2 and Holly's job is saved....

I agree...................my point was that if they ever were smart enough to get the right coach in there they would still be a very formidable program...................

But one could also argue that it's "high" only if the goal is to recruit impressive athletes who happen to play basketball rather than basketball players who can shoot, have solid fundamentals, and have developed an adequate basketball IQ. This, too, is (to me, anyway) a sign of coaching that is more than a little behind.

I was focusing ...on their national rankings.............clearly they have no idea how to recruit a team with real chemistry, as you said it's more an accumulation of great athletes which is usually good enough to get them into the big dance
 
Critics: Back Up Off Coach Holly Warlick, Now.

"While many are questioning the direction of Warlick's reign as head coach, the public needs to ask itself if it has truly ever permitted her tenure to grow legs of its own. With the cloud of Coach Summitt forever hanging over the Lady Vols arena, the language and social media rage of orange-blooded fans of UT and critics reveals that they are still not prepared or willing to explore the new era without looking back and referring to "what used to be"."

Really nice and poignant intro piece by Kara Lawson.

The South likes to hold on to traditions. When I first moved to Alabama 34 years ago, one of the guys I met at work told me a joke about Alabama football. This was shortly after Bear Bryant died, and the memories were still fresh. My Bama friend asked if I knew how many Bama fans it took to change a light bulb. Of course I said no, and he told me it took five fans. One to actually change the bulb, and four to talk about how great the old bulb was. Just a joke, but oh so true here in the South! :rolleyes:
 
My feed and audio keeps dropping out at regular intervals.
 
Yeesh. I said that Tennessee's only chance is if Notre Dame's guards have a horrible shooting night. Well, "Maybre" and "Agoon-be-wily" are a combined 0-6 to start the game.
 
Funny thing... when I went to ESPN - Watch, and selected the ND vs TN game, I got a message about "parental controls are having a problem" or something like that... maybe a premonition of something UGLY, and not recommended for under 16, to come??

Arike doing what she does best. Rushed shots.
 
Whoa, Muffet subbed Prohaska for the ice-cold Arike after the TO, but promptly yanked the freshman and read her out as she exited the game. Probably for a missed defensive assignment that allowed Evina an open 3.
 
LaVols by 3 after 1Q. ND lucky to be that close...
