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

[SECbbfan24]

This is a very bad sequence of possessions for Tennessee.

 

[UCBaller2012]

Tennessee has imploded into a turnover machine.

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.

ND had two generational talents at the same time in Jackie Young and AO, add in Turner and Shepard and it was like a version of the '96 Bulls.

If Holly were the coach, they would be down by this much

Generational talents? 96 Bulls?! You joking?

ND is turning up the defensive intensity. Muffett wasn't wrong when she said this year's team would have to win from defense. Her guards this year are going to emphasize defense. Effort is what they have right now, as they learn the game the offense will come. They are just too young to pull off the comeback

 

[SECbbfan24]

Tennessee has a long way to go but they look more organized overall, especially defensively. On offense they have to stop with the turnovers. Half of these turnovers are not forced but self inflicted.

Compared to every other program not named UConn I think they were an incredible team.

They were pretty good and I can’t take that from them but not I don’t consider ND like the 96 Bulls or AO or Jackie Young generational talents. Generational talents are like Taurasi, Moore, Parker, Holdsclaw, Ionescu, Griner, Delle Donne.....

Maybe he meant the 96 Durham Bulls?

If Tennessee can take care of their turnover issue, then this team could be their best since Summit. The offense flows when they don't make errant passes or throw it right into the hands of the defense.

 

[PoppaBear]

28 turnovers by TN!

 

[IrishTiger]

They’ve gotten looks. I think this team will get better as the season goes. If Brunelle just hit 2 or 3 of her open 3’s this game would be different but it’s good to see they didn’t quit. Hopefully by March they are gelling as a team.

 

[DeeHusky]

When Harper proves that she can consistently win, recruits will start flowing into Knoxville. You got the Tenn brand on your side, all you need now is a winning culture.

 

[MSUFan2003]

Glad for Rennia Davis. I've always liked her.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Good performance by Tennessee tonight, can definitely see a difference already. #1 goal for that team is simply cleaning up turnovers.

 

[Rb335]

Horston looks super athletic but I’m not impressed with her tonight. First time seeing her and her decision making is just not good. I think her biggest area of improvement will come from getting a higher basketball IQ and consistent effort on D. No doubt it will all come together for her.

Brunelle had a lot of flashes tonight but I just don’t think she should be shooting 10 3s per game. She will be a good player in the years to come. I think she would’ve looked really good at the 4 position alongside of ONO.

I think nationally, this freshman class will have a lot of high quality college players.

Vols' Davis -- 33 pts 10 rebs. Holey macaroni!

How awesome would it be if, when a reporter asks MM what went wrong it she replied "I don't know, I don't know, we'll just have to go and work harder"....

 

[southofnorth]

Impressive win by Tennessee. Good defense and the good movement and passing on offense (when they didn't turn it over). Cut down on the turnovers and they could be a dangerous team.

Tenn just beat a weak bunch that just lost their only size.. Tenn's size isn't dominant. It's N Dame's lack of size. I liked Tenn tonight but I'll wait till they play Texas, not that Texas is so good but they have size to match up. Tenn is young but they showed good energy on the road at least till they got gassed late and turned into a turnover machine. 28 to's is a lot.

 

[Bigboote]

Watched ND the other night. Brunelle looks out of shape.

Given that she’s one of ND’s tallest players, I’m surprised how loath she is to play in the paint. Early on, it looked like they were playing a 5-out.

 

[stwainfan]

Good win. What a game by Davis. I have seen improvement each game this year. I am excited to see how good this team can be come March.

OMG, what D1 coach would ever say something like that
