Deeshields reminds me of the attacking Aliens on War of the Worlds: "Once they start moving, no news comes out of that area." In her case, "Once she gets the ball, no one else touches it."

Since when has Stanford been in the Big 12?

Stanford Regains their composure to get the win by 14 points 69-55. When the Lady Vols had cut the lead down to 7 points with 5 minutes left, I thought they had a chance, but couldn't do it.
Diamond scored 2 points in 2nd half after 10 in 1st half. She's got to score in the 20's if the Lady Vols are going to pull off wins against Ranked teams. Unless they're playing Miss St who IMHO is highly overrated.

Am I missing something regarding Russell. There were several times she was guarding Karlie Samuelson at the arc. Why?
She rarely posted up, or boxed out. She did her best to set high post screens. Nice use of a top ranked recruit.
Tennessee looks horrid, and it wasnt the plane ride out.

Was surprised LVs got 25 in 4th quarter.... and thought they would show better in first 3 quarters..... 10 pts a quarter is not sufficient.... and yes whoever mentioned Peck's excuses..... gee, I know you have to say a certain amount obigitorally, but from the injuries, to "there are only 3 of 5 starters who played last year".....to Mercedes and DeShields are still finding their way" .... to playing tough schedule...... to the airplane getting in late..... wow.... and i am sure there were more excuses I missed..... don't want to pile on.... but come on, this is not a strong Stanford team..... but good win anyway Tara....

I find her excuses for Tinnisee's shortcomings on both the offinsive and definsive inds if the court to be a manifistation of her baskitball acumin.

The other Vol fan who said, "Diamond's not THE problem" You are correct. She is one of the many problems wrong with Tennessee.
*Diamond playing like Diamond is certainly not a good thing
* The offense is nonexistent
* Point guard play is atrocious
*They play too many players
*For Holly to talk about how much time is spent on defense, they play a lot of James Harden defense
*Something's up with Mercedes
*Holly is still clueless

A game played by two horrible teams! Stanford just wasn't as horrible as TN was so they won! Stanford had a 20 point lead then had 5 TO's in a row just to see if TN was awake to make a comeback. While trying to throw the game away Stanford decided to miss about 5 FT's in a row to help TN out but TN is so inept they couldn't even use that to make a comeback!
The refs wanted to show they also were clueless by non-calls, and phantom calls to might-have-been-a-foul calls!

The announcers were trying so hard to make every excuse for the LV's, but the sad fact is they are not a good team and very poorly coached. The LV faithful are calling for Holly's head, and rightfully so. She has driven this team and program into an afterthought. So sad!

That was painful! It truly is the absolute basic offense from TN and even at that basic level it is run incredibly poorly.
The maximum number of players involved in each play are two, one person dribbling the ball for about 10 seconds while pointing to the spot they want the other person to set the pick, running to the pick and sometimes going past it close enough to actually prevent the defender from squeezing through as well. After the pick when it is used properly, there is never a roll (why bother rolling since the dribbler will not pass the ball anyway!) so all that has happened is the dribbler now has a new defender on her. Meanwhile the other three players are GLUED to the floor - they are never moving, never setting off ball screens, they are simply waiting and watching. Occasionally one on the wing will get the ball passed to them, and then they get to be the dribbler for the rest of the shot clock. Eventually the dribbler makes a shake and bake move and tries to launch either a jump shot or a driving shot near the basket.
Meanwhile, if we are to believe the brain dead announcer CP, Holly's brilliant defense that she spends so much time teaching is design around the fact that there is no help defense available to any player - if they are beat off the dribble it will be an uncontested lay-up, because Stanford is a deadly three point shooting team that has been firing bricks all night to the tune of 18% while making their two point shots at 56% because they can in fact beat the individual defenders off the dribble.
And yeah - Stanford does not look like a very good team - had about 10 of their turnovers trying to fast break, as opposed to just playing their half court offense which was clicking at 50%. McCall looks like a nice player. Thompson reminds me a little of Simmons, which is not a complement.

I always like to look at the number of McDonald's All American players a team has....... not a true litmus test..... but it gives an idea of the talent level...... tonight Tenn 7 vs. Stanford 3 Stanford is pretty well coached..... and they seem to have taken the best from what they have learned..... I remember last year the very first game, when they beat us, they were implementing a brand new offense.... i do think Tara is a good coach..... little talent this year..... but she is doing OK ......
