So what does @stwainfan think on who will win this game...

 

[triaddukefan]

Guess I'll have to root for the Irish... since they are a fellow ACC team. I won't be crestfallen if they don't win however.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

If this game was at Tennessee, I'd say the Vols would win this year. Since the game is in SB, I'll say ND will win.

 

[stwainfan]

So what does @stwainfan think on who will win this game...

I honestly think this game can go either way.
Notre Dame this year the roster is different. Tennessee the new coaching staff and five new players. Davis is the most experienced starter on the floor. I think both teams can learn a lot from this game. I don't think you can write off the team that losses this game.

 

[DaBball]

My question is who do most UConn fans want to see win...

 

[Alydar]

I expect both teams to play a lot of zone and expect a low scoring game. The home team usually wins but the anxiety of living up to expectations that look unobtainable could lead poor execution. But I'd pick McGraw over what's her name.

My question is who do most UConn fans want to see win...

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

They want to see a 17 overtime tie.

 

[MSSportsGuy]

The outcome of this one won’t surprise me regardless of who wins. Both teams have a ton of question marks but there is potential for both teams as well. I’m not sure it’s fair to count either among the blue blood programs of this season but it’s tough to ignore history.

I believe UT has the more talented players but ND has the better coach. I think the player difference is not nearly as great as the coach difference so I will go with ND. Fact is neither of these teams are a favorite for me, hate them both about the same!

 

[DefenseBB]

My question is who do most UConn fans want to see win...

For me, Tenn hasn’t been relevant in years whereas MM always finds a way to insult, slight and irritate most opposing teams so she can NEVER lose enough for me. On talent alone, this is not a great ND team and would not be ranked intheTop 25 however MM can plan, scheme and coach so they will be good. Jolly is still an unknown with these types of expectations but I will actually be rooting Hard for the LVs. Now, I need some mouth wash after saying that...

 

[eebmg]

I suppose to create maximum psychological torture for the fan base, TN should win, find a way to get into the top 20, believe they are better than they are and get whacked multiple times in SEC play and by UConn.

On paper the LadyVols have more returning players than ND, but what swings in ND's favor...they are home and have Muffet.

 

[stwainfan]

Tennessee has more size. Will that be a factor?

Tennessee has more returning players and they're virtually all taller than the Irish:
Courtesy of NDInsider's Anthony Anderson (thanks MPG!): "The eight players who already have started at least once each for the Vols this season go 6-5, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, 6-0 and 6-0."

By contrast, ND will have two -- that's right, 2 -- players over six feet: 6'2" forward Sam Brunelle and 6'4" center Danielle Cosgrove. Brunelle is quoted extensively in Anderson's game preview linked below:

Tennessee's big lineup will test young Notre Dame team

ND's Brunelle knows shots will start falling for her

www.ndinsider.com

Tennessee has Jordan Horston starting and leading the Vols in scoring. Frosh Brunelle and guard Anaya Peoples will start for the Irish. Irish will have to rely on the quickness and scoring of guards Peoples, Katlyn Gilbert and Destinee Walker to run against the Vols. Of course, to do that, they'll have to rely on boxing out and group rebounding.
Might be asking too much -- particularly of Brunelle, who is oten the sole forward -- but we'll see. I'm sure MM will be mixing up every kind of defense she can.

Too bad 6'3" center Mik Vaughn is missing this one, but the good news is she'll come back in three to five weeks (as opposed to being out the whole year).

Listerine? Scope? Some lemon water to rinse?

You're right, this year is gonna be a challenge, but the cantankerous McGraw (you've got me in the spirit!) loves this kind of situation. Having starting center Mik Vaughn out until the ACC schedule is a drag, but it will force back-up Cosgrove to get much-needed minutes. It might wear Brunelle out, but you know what they say about hardship...

Destinee Walker has been out of action for so long that I kinda forgot how smooth an athlete she was. Take a look see tonight.

And then there are the "sisters": Anaya Peoples and Katlyn Gilbert, who have been playing AAU ball together since they were elementary-school kids. Gilbert likes to attack the rim and is smooth. Peoples is strongly built (think Jackie Young) and is not afraid to mix it up.

I'll look for some CVS coupons for you.....

[Mdoggie]

Im hoping for a tie.

 

[Hayven]

Horston will be the best player on the court, so I think Tennessee will won this one

 

[DaBball]

Zaay Green reportedly not playing? Thats the talk on VolNation...

 

[VFLfan]

Zaay Green reportedly not playing? Thats the talk on VolNation...

Announcement at game time apparently.

 

[futuretitles]

As a TN fan I don’t have a good feeling about this Green situation. Rumors swirling​

 

[VFLfan]

Reported on FB, Zaay out the rest of the season with a torn ACL. So sad for her. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
