Tennessee @ Notre Dame (16) - 11/11/19

[SECbbfan24]

Tennessee looking solid so far

Lot of one on one offense for both teams

Yikes, large swaths of empty seats are visible in the arena. Somehow I don't remember seeing those last year when UConn visited.

After the game at Fordham, it sounds like their fans know it will be a long year.

Bad weather in the area.

Snowed and was unseasonably cold in Chicago today. I believe South Bend was much the same.

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

Dang! Hate to hear stuff like this! I wish her a speedy recovery!

 

[Geew1992]

Tennessee still can’t shoot

I mean 7600 came out to for the Loyola MD game. Attendance will likely dip a little this year but it's mostly weather tonight.

Neither of these teams can. Some easy shots bricked by both teams

 

[DaBball]

Muffet gotta get Walker and Gilbert more shots. Brunelle is just gunning up threes.

 

[Reypl21]

Brunelle is having a tough game. But she's clearly her teams first option, and the other players are learning the ND system. I thought Gilbert and Walker have shown some flashes.

 

[Orangutan]

I don't mind most of Brunelle's shot selection but her jumper just hasn't been on so far this season.

Course you could say that for most of the team. Gilbert looks pretty smooth in the midrange and Walker has her moments but that's about it.

Was Brunelle the player who got a lot of attention very early in the recruiting process?

 

[Crazyhorse]

I am forbidden from cheering for Notre Dame, go Tennessee!

My son reported 6”of snow and still snowing in the Detroit area

 

[DallasBUFan]

Tennessee actually looks like they have an offense. Last year they just were in a constant disarray. I like what I have seen in terms of improvement already in the two quarters I have seen.

 

[DallasBUFan]

It's even gonna be low 20's in Texas tonight.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Last time ND had less than 30 points at the half????

 

[eebmg]

So weird seeing ND like this.

 

[Reypl21]

Yes, that's her

 

[Crazyhorse]

So weird seeing ND like this.

I am thoroughly enjoying it

 

[southofnorth]

For the most part, I've been impressed with Tennessee on both ends of the floor. They actually seem interested in playing defense this year and their offense involved more passing once they calmed down. Still they need to make open 5-10 foot jumpers if they hope to make it anywhere.

In the 50’s at night here in Florida. I love it - we can sleep with the windows open

It's cold and rainy in Texas right now. I'd happily take a sudden heat wave.

 

[Reypl21]

Carolyn Peck actually speaking some facts lol. Harper wasn't left with nothing at Tenn, she has a lot of talent. But she had to be able to recruit

Ugh most think it's always warm in Texas. 64 at 8am.....39 by 5pm with a low 22 tonight. Jealous of Florida right now!! 50's is perfect!!

 

[Orangutan]

Proud of how they're hanging in there. Need some of those Cosgrove and Brunelle 3 pt attempts to drop if they're going to win, though.

 

[ochoopsfan]

11/19/17 at Oregon State.
ND had 29 at the half and finishing strong winning 72-67

Yes they have actually discovered the concept of ball rotation in Knoxville.

It was hotter than Hades here in Texas for so dang long in late summer into fall. We were still in the 90s as late as late October. Can we get a little happy medium going for a while before we freeze over?

 

[militarydog]

It’s a tough decision but I’ve got to pull for the SEC.

 

[DefenseBB]

So weird seeing ND like this.

I know, I am all broken up over it...NOT.

A couple of observations so far,
1. Davis is stepping up as most knew she was capable of doing. The offense has the ball moving around-wow, when was the last time anyone on this thread said that?
2. ND is trying to incorporate many new players, including Brunelle into the ND scheme and that may take some time. There have been spurts where they look good, they just seem a tad more inexperienced than this version of TN.

ESPN has to find some new blood that can do the studio instead of Peck mad or Landers (who is doing the game color tonight ) as the audience deserves better insight. Heck give me Blair Shaeffer or Anriel Howard, It's just painful listening to Peck.

 

[Mdoggie]

Yall think the crowd will rush the court if TN wins? Lol. I can hear the fans now "weez back"
