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

[HuskyNan]

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

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.

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]

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

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

 

[Orangutan]

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.

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.

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

What part of Texas? I was sick of the heat, but not of fan of 20 degree weather.

I'm actually rooting for Tennessee this year.

At ND?

 

[Mdoggie]

Excited delirium

 

[Orangutan]

Davis is on fire and ND is bricking free throws. Not ideal.

Peoples has terrific potential but someone needs to completely rebuild her shot.

 

[Crazyhorse]

Harper looks like Summitt.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Tennesee looks solid but they have to clean up those turnovers. 17 turnovers and not even in the 4th is bad.

 

[wbball novice]

Vols are much improved from last year, especially shooting. Hard to watch them last year. I wasn't very impressed by the shooting of Harper's previous team in the NCAA tournament, so this is a surprise. Maybe it's true what some Vol fans speculated -- very little emphasis on shooting in Warlick's practices. With the Vols' size -- aren't all the starters over 6'? -- UConn would seem to have an easier time with Notre Dame than with the Tenn. Re Notre Dame, I thought Kaitlyn Gilbert looked promising, until she did free throws; Walker was good; Brunelle disappointing. .

 

[SECbbfan24]

Tennessee has 10 blocks

Tennessee has 10 blocks

Tall they are (Yoda voice)

 

[southofnorth]

Harper looks like Summitt.

I was thinking the exact same thing

 

[SECbbfan24]

One thing is for sure if Harper is working with dramatically better talent at Tennessee. We will see if she can maintain it recruiting wise which seemed to be her biggest issues at her previous stops.

Tennessee while erratic at times today actually has moved the ball on offense and look like they actually have a plan unlike Holly's team.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Hey maybe that UConn-Tennessee game will be more competitive than the one against ND we have coming up in four weeks?

It's Tennessee though. If she can't recruit there she can't recruit anywhere. Her previous stops don't have the name brand recognition for WCBB.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We'll see what Muffet can do with this group over time. It looks like the worst ND team I've seen in 20+ years.

The Irish have 3 home losses in 5 years--all to UConn.

Tennessee has size and some nice pieces. They could be ranked in time.

That wouldn't surprise me.
