Tennessee at Notre Dame Thur

[Orangutan]

Awfully nice if TN to make so many unforced errors and keep ND in it.

Huge shots by Davis and Westbrook near the end of Q3 to keep the lead at 10, though. Looked like ND might cut it to 5 or 6.

 

[Orangutan]

Lead down to 5 and crowd back in it. Starting to look like the opposite of last year's game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

24 TO's for Tennessee w/ just under 6 minutes left. Holy cow! ND just tied it up at 65.

 

[nwhoopfan]

3 from the corner by Mabrey, ND up 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Up by 5. I guess Warlick was wiating for the media TO to try to stop the bleeding. What a huge swing in momentum in this game.

ND finished strong to beat Oregon St. on the road, had UConn rally against them, now they seem to be on the plus side of a big swing in the 4th quarter again.

 

[nwhoopfan]

ND up by 7. Now the Vols are the team that look like they have no energy and ND is beating them down the floor repeatedly.

 

[Mdoggie]

Hehehehehe hahaha hehehe!

 

[Boxerpups4me]

A complete and utter debacle..holly totally outcoached once again

 

[easttexastrash]

What an amazing turn-around. When the wheels starting coming off UT had non spare.

Kudos to ND for hanging tough. I take my hat off to them for not falling apart and giving up. This was a pivotal moment in their season.

Congrats to the Irish!

This is stunning, ND just crushed Tennessee in the 4th quarter, ended up winning easily by 14. Holly was doing an impersonation of a statue during the entire comeback it appeared. 34-10 in the 4th quarter. 28 TO's for the Vols. Apparently the Irish aren't dead yet and Tennessee still has some work to do.

Russell had 6 points in the first 5 or so minutes of the game. She only scored 6 the rest of the game. Don't know if the shot she took to the face affected her or not after she returned to the game.

 

[easttexastrash]

Wow...ND got 28 points off of 28 UT TOs. 28 TOs!!

 

[Orangutan]

Tennessee fell on the self-destruct button.

ND played their best two-way ball of the season down the stretch. But 28 turnovers? ND's defense wasn't THAT good.

To go from being up 10 to start the 4th and lose by 14? Yikes.

Holly stood on the sideline dumbfounded as per usual.

Tennessee has a bright future. Their youngsters are really talented. But Holly is just not an elite coach.

 

[Plebe]

34 to 10 in the 4th quarter!

Congrats to Notre Dame. They just did to Tennessee what UConn did to them. Complete turning of the tables.

 

[Nuyoika]

I am completely stunned.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I had the Irish by 8, should have had more faith in Muffet's team.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Holly stood on the sideline dumbfounded as per usual.

Tennessee has a bright future. Their youngsters are really talented. But Holly is just not an elite coach.

How does she continue to recruit so well? They haven't been to the Final 4 for a decade. HS players coming up now probably can't even remember when they were a dominant national power. I don't understand how the Tennessee mystique is still alive.

Watching Holly during games like this is as enjoyable as watching any Oscar winning performance. My god she's amazing. She has specialized in the clueless look.

 

[eebmg]

Russell had 6 points in the first 5 or so minutes of the game. She only scored 6 the rest of the game. Don't know if the shot she took to the face affected her or not after she returned to the game.

They don't even try to get the ball into Russell. TN The lowest basketball IQ team ever. Time to scoot over to VolNation for some entertainment.

 

[EricLA]

What a delightful 4th quarter. After sleepwalking thru the 1st quarter, ND came storming back and outscored Tenn by 31 over the remaining 30 minutes. Great effort by the Irish. I will enjoy watching that 4th quarter over and over...

 

[triaddukefan]

Sounds liked a crazy game..... might have to watch the replay

 

[iri10]

Coaches matter. Do you think ND would have won this game if Holly Warlick was their coach, and McGraw was Tennessee's coach?

 

[EricLA]

Watching Holly during games like this is as enjoyable as watching any Oscar winning performance. My god she's amazing. She has specialized in the clueless look.

Holly at the presser (my guess)... "Well, they just out played us in the 4th quarter. I'm not really sure why, or what happened. We will have to go back and look at the tape to see"...

 

[nwhoopfan]

They don't even try to get the ball into Russell. TN The lowest basketball IQ team ever. Time to scoot over to VolNation for some entertainment.

Yeah, all 6 of her early points were off of O boards and put backs.
