TENN vs SCAR

She was, I didn't know that? Her and Jackson were best friends on the team.

No she wasn’t...that was Diamond.

Te’a leaving is also why Diamond left after announcing she was coming back.

They could be and maybe thats why she was! However the recording got out!
 
Good win for Tennessee. I’ve been impressed with their freshmen the entire season and although they weren’t perfect today they still look better than everybody else’s freshmen haha..

SC has two conference losses early and we’re now down two post players. I’m not sure Mississippi State will lose two conference games.. SC gave Tenn a game without Wilson. Miss State SHOULD have a field day with this young Tenn team but we’ll see. This is looking like the Bulldogs year..

As for SC, I liked the fight we showed today.. it wasn’t great offense or defense but we manufactured points without our anchor and that’s HUGE for a young team. Enjoy our demise now, cheer and revel in it... we may be down now but we won’t be down always. We’ll be back... may not be this year or next.. or the year after.. but we’ll be back.

TN beat TX, minus Joyner Holmes, which I would still consider full strength since she did not even practice with the team in the fall. TN gets no respect even with just one loss, in over time, on the road. We'll see what they do against State and Notre Dame.

Where's the lack of respect? Texas completely self-destructed and handed that game to Tennessee. I'm sorry if your tinted lenses don't allow you to see that.

I respect Tennessee for their ability to play with slightly less incompetence than Texas that day. How's that? Happy?
 
Good Win by the Lady Vols. Thought So Carolina just might be able to pull it out when they cut the lead to 5 points midway through the 4th quarter. Wasn't meant to be as the Lady Vols built the lead back to double digits. The Lady Vols will be a tough out by tournament time if their Freshmen continue to play like they have been. IMO the only negative in the game for the Lady Vols is Mercedes Russell disappeared in the 2nd half. Can't have that happen against the Elite Teams.

Like a said a Good win for the Lady Vols on the road with a Hostile Crowd.

Margo was trying to get tickets for the game. I'm sure she did and I'm surprised we didn't hear her cheering. :)

Just like how Notre Dame completely self destructed and handed the game to UCONN? It goes both ways. Any win can be construed as a team rising up and winning or a team breaking down and collapsing depending on what vantage point you want to take.

This was a great win for Tennessee today, regardless if Wilson was in there or not. They got out to a massive lead, withstood the run (while making mistakes of their own), and then settled down and executed down the stretch to make it a 16 point win. In particular, this was a GREAT comeback game for Westbrook who did not play well the previous game. Was very nice to see Tennessee play well under pressure rather than crack like they have the previous 2 years. The next 2 games are going to be quite difficult, I'll be thrilled if they go 1-1 but realistically expect an 0-2 outcome. Hopefully the games will be competitive.
 
Like "barely losing" or "almost winning" For the life of me I never understood what those statement mean. Lol

You might be over using the word great. Nonetheless it's a good win. Any win is a good win.
 
Really surprised T'ea Cooper didn't save their bacon today. Oh, wait, she's not eligible. :oops::rolleyes:

Watched the whole game and it was a decent effort by both. Didn’t think SC would pull it off without Aja but Harris and Jennings both played well and Dawn had a decent plan. I can’t recall the name of the young lady who was injured but I hope it’s not the dreaded three letter word. SC isn’t too far behind ND with injuries this year and I hate to see good players and teams get derailed.

LVs were good in spurts and very average in others. Overall it was a nice win after an OT loss. Russell did the job in the first half and Nared and Westbrook finished it in the second half. It was a nice bounce back for Westbrook after playing poorly against A&M. LVs in Knoxville worry me a bit for MSU next week.

I wouldn't worry about Tenn beating MSU anywhere. Tenn is good, but I think the two best teams in the country are Uconn and MSU, so Uconn better expect to see them again.

I'd call it a great win..it's the best win of the season so far for Tennessee. Beating South Carolina on the road by 16 is going to be big for their NCAA resume come March, regardless if Wilson played or not. The fact that the players didn't crack and kept their composure when SC made their run was a great sign after the faltered pretty bad against A&M.

I know Wilson didn't play. Still a good win.

Any W in the W column is a good one, if not a W, what then?? So accept the W--call it good, call it great, call it mediocre---the record books don't care--in that it's called a WIN.

Congratulation.. I would have said the same to Dawn had Dawns team won.
 
Way to many easy layups for Tenn. SC press worked but the rest of their defense needs alot of work. Tenn had alot of mismatches in their favor especially with Russell underneath. SC looked lost. Both teams need alot of work on defense.

Games coming up Tenn ND Tenn Miss St IMO Tenn has played a weak schedule and SC without Wilson made it a little easier to win the game. Looking at the top teams right now. ND is not looking good due to so many injuries. SC with Wilson out and the girl hurt today make them very beatable. Baylor struggles too. Right now Miss St and LVille look like top 4 teams. UConn is beyond everybody else and it aint even close. At Texas tomorrow nite barring any home cooking UConn by at least 30 before Geno clears the bench.

It is still early for March/April assessments but my guess is that Uconn has weaknesses and some of the same from last year. Uconn with teams with a big effective center (Ms St, Russell, etc) are 4 or 5 fouls away from bad news. Azura gives Uconn a scoring big and relief for Gabby or Precious--. Smart teams will work to get them in trouble--who then backs them up Batouly? She rarely gets 2 minutes, who next Irwin--maybe she can provide a few minutes. I just don't think Uconn has yet achieved hog heaven .\
In the NCAA's you and I have seen EVERY thing happen, and we've seen top Geno teams lose in the FF
Some say it's who you draw, not really I don't fully believe that, there are just too many factors to take a top team out. You name it it can happen. I hope your 30 points against Tx, at home is accurate.

It has been an interesting year in WCBB..... As for the LVs, I still have yet to form an opinion on where they are..... definitely they are improved from last year.... and last few years .... marking the time Holly has been at the helm.... I do not know for certain why they are playing better .... I do not think it is coaching.... a coach does not change after 35 years.... I tend to think success is due to the lot of freshmen they have..... I do not think they have been tested yet this year to a serious level....... but hey a win is a win... so congrats to them on that.

It’s always tempting to draw parallels, but there is absolutely no comparison between those two games. ND played out if its mind for about 3 quarters and then came down to earth in the last 7 minutes. Even at its ugliest moment, that game was never even close to how ugly the TX-TN game was.

I never said it wasn’t a good win and I never said TN wasn’t a good team. But I’m a fan of the sport first and foremost, so I can’t be a fan of the quality of play exhibited throughout that game. TX was the more egregious offender and in that sense TN deserved the win. Sometimes it really does come down to screwing up less than one’s opponent.
 
Those who before the season. That said Tennessee would lose ten or more games. What do you think now?
 
We played hard today, but we gave up too much size inside. I do think this will help us after A'ja is back because Lele got some valuable playing time. It's also time for the NCAA to decide, one way or the other, if Te'a Cooper can play this season.
