I just looked at the ESPN play-by-play and Tenn was held scoreless in the last 3:39 of the game. Amazing.

SC is equivalent to WVU or SJU this year. a solid team but neither should come within 15 points of UCONN. yeah i realize WVU played us tough and so did USF, but tennessee had a 5 point lead with about 4 minutes left. both UVA and SC are solid. i bet Tennesse drops to about 13 and SC comes in at about 21 in the rankings.

Completely agree

Holy shnikies!

I've been lying here with gastroenteritis for the past 24 hours. It's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone. And I come on here to find out pretty much every LV fan has had a worse day than I have.

Was this on espn3?
 
If I told you that TN would have a higher shooting percentage from the field, would take more free throws, would make more free throws, that the opposition would hit only 5 of 14 free throws, that TN would outrebound SC by TEN, would have four more blocks, and three fewer personal fouls, how much of a winning margin by TN would you guess?

Hard to believe Tenn had a 5 point lead with 3 1/2 minutes left in the game and then lose it by 4 points. 9 Point swing in Knoxville. South Carolina didn't hit any three point shots down the stretch either. Never would have happened in prior years. Poor defensive and offense execution down the stretch by the Lady Vols
 
Not unexpected from my viewpoint. There was a reason Pat stopped playing Uconn 5 years ago and it had little to due with the recruiting of Maya Moore. She did not want the Lady Vols to be embarrassed by Uconn any more. Hence the SEC is taking care of that for us. I guess any team, any where, any place, has a few restrictions on it. Hope they land in Uconn's bracket as a 2 or 3 seed . Let the fun begin!!!!!
 
I also wonder how the Spanie family feels about Pat and UT now? Taber was a real want for Geno ,but she chose UT over UC.

I would say thats ridiculous, that no legit top ten team should go that long scoreless. Then I remember our game monday night, and ill quietly log back out

Somewhere in Texas, Kelsey Bone is looking at her aTm card and thinking.
 
We should never be happy about any recruit decommitting from another school. Remember Gemelos and EDD it is bad Mojo. I do love the way our Huskies are playing at this point in the season. I like how we have someone new stepping up in every game. Things are looking in Stoors at this time.
 
Have to think this loss drops Tenn down to a 3 seed or lower. They need too much help from other teams to keep a 2 seed.
 
South Carolina is turning out to be Holly's nemesis. Last time SC beat TN, Holly was playing for TN. That was 1980.

It will be interesting to see. TN' s RPI was 2 before the game per Real Time RPI which isn't because they don't have the updated one, but I doubt it will drop much if any. It is a long way to a three seed with that kind of RPI. My guess - unprecedented.

They have 6 losses now and could lose a couple more by selection day. That #2 RPI could drop quite a bit if that happens.
 
I don't mean for this question to sound as smart-@ssed as it does, but who do they drop from the schedule now in order to remain "elite"?

Doris Burke mentioned during the ND game that there was some discussion among the UT staff of dialing down the OOC schedule, but she didn't say who suggested it.
 
South Carolina only had 4 TO. Impressive to me since they played Tennessee @ Knoxville!

Where was the defense?

Common misconception. A real want earlier, but things cooled and UConn was out of the picture
well before she chose UT over I forget whom. Both teams were in it for Manning, however, to the end far as I know.

I don't feel good about disappointed players or their families at all. Nor about disappointed loyal and sportsmanlike UT fans.

Feel a little different about a few UT fans who seemingly can't address any subject without knocking Geno. "We're goin' down the tubes but Geno cheats" is a possible coming attraction from the keyboards of these graceful souls.

And more of the same to 'em. May their bitterness never lack fresh stimuli.

The biggest threat to TN at this point seems to be a sense of chaos and disspiritedness at the moment. It is very possible a couple more losses may follow. There is no joy in this. OK, maybe a little schadenfreude for some of the ugliest members of The Summitt but none at all in Pat's and the team's struggle.
 
Guys, Kaela Davis is no doubt uncertain about her future, her family is concerned about her and good LV fans worried about PHS's health and the state of the program they love. Let's keep them in mind and not lower ourselves to the level of the handful of Tin Foil Hatters out there.
 
It was a bit surprising to see Tenn lose at home to SC, but SC has played some good basketball this season. they are 18-5 overal, 7-3 in SEC play. They beat Vandy (twice), UNC (ok, not saying much), and gave Kentucky a good game.
Congrats to South Carolina! This is there first win in Knoxville...EVER!! Looking at Tenn's season, I'm not shocked they lost, just a little surprised.

Indeed.. this season is shaping up to be an unfortunate end to a great career for PHS. And for the record, I wouldn't want to have a UConn/TN game now....more fun and better bragging rights to beat a team at the top of their game, and not crush them when they are down (and gloat about it).

Are you for cereal? There should always be joy when TN loses. Always.
 
I'm a regular Raisan Bran kind of guy. The loss of a rival can bring a certain kind of pleasure but not so much in the present. It is kind of like kickuing a wounded animal.
