I really liked Geno's substitutions today.and the Coach did a pretty good job too....

Hard to rebound Azzi's 3pt shot.Not bad being even in rebounding 38 - 38 vs. the best rebounding team in the nation.
[11 UCONN team & 9 UT team rebounds on free throws]
I love a good hot-pot!Sorry to be so late to the Party
My wife prepared a Sichuan, seafood hot-pot (still celebrating her New Year's)
and it was served right after the game
- I've noticed some less than complimentary notices for the seniors, Christyn and Olivia
In the past, when they started as poorly as they did this afternoon, they would have moped their way
through the game...not today:
Both were important cogs in the 2nd hall...Olivia with her D and Christyn finally made some shots and played reasonably solid D (as did them all). That was a positive development.
- Remember, this was overrated Tennessee, who doesn't run much of an offense...Geno out-coached his counterpart into the ground...Their one on one was neutralized and their offensive rebounding was negligible...what's left? zilch.- So it was a huge win...but there are better teams out there.
-As I noted earlier, when you have legitimate shooters (making shots), the whole game changes. Azzi in the 2nd half was pretty insane, but that's what we recruited; no real surprise...The surprise was Aaliyah's mid-range, even a three!. Aliyah's reprise of her best (maybe better) was the icing on the cake. And everyone else contributed as well
-The passing had some bite and was meaningful; they actually ran plays, getting Azzi open; and her variation pass to a cutting Olivia was a thing of beauty They must have been really scared this week, "his masters voice" was finally listened to.
- Fun game to watch...who wants them in the NCAA's as a 2, 3,or 4...hither or yon...does it matter?
Makes me wonder why people get so worked up over guesses on seeding by a talking head 2 months before the tourney
When I post the bracketology #1-4 seedings, it's more of a fun visual to see where it started and all the changes. I've got a few other depictions that show interesting flows by both region and seed. I don't take it verbatim as it doesn't matter until the actual bracket is released.Creme has a tough job. He has to revise his brackets in midstream to match the Committee rankings. Charlie had UCONN in Bridgeport until the selection committee sent them out West in the first reveal. Actually, I like Creme's last brackets before the reveal.
typed Horston.. autocorrect strikes again!Houston
Hard to find truer words than those you just posted!Makes me wonder why people get so worked up over guesses on seeding by a talking head 2 months before the tourney
I believe they were missing a backup post who is the team leader.No doubt, this was the most important victory of the season. It was a great game to watch.
We must keep in mind. that Tennessee was missing a starter, and they have been going downhill the past few games.
This group continues to fight and scrap their way into being a winning team. They started out the season just standing around with their hands in their pockets watching Paige do it all. When she went down, they had no idea what to do. Evina and CW seemed dazed. But as time has passed, one by one, these players are fighting to win. It all started with Ducharmes. Now we have Fudd.
Now we know that we have a serious team with talented and dependable scrappers in Fudd, Ducharmes, Williams, Juhasz, and most recently Edwards. Westbrook picks up the slack as best she can, and fights hard, as does Muhl. Each has evolved over the course of the season. Whether we get Paige back is yet to be seen. But this group is becoming an actual team that fights together, and isn't waiting for Paige to do it for them. Amazing evolution!!!
Burrell has one thing in mind when moving with the basketball, and it ain't good.You mean the Horston/Burrell tug of war. That's been on display since Burrell returned.
I'm good with that, those are great unis!So I assume we will never play in any other uniforms but the retro ones.
It doesn't excuse these last two games. She was an important part of their rotation, but losing her does not explain this current slide. They have just lost all sense of cohesiveness.Not to downplay her loss but I thought Green was a backup for Key, and even the Vols fans are questioning how can a loss of Green could have had that much impact on Ten.
Yup, that's it. Key has disappeared on defense the last 4 games.As long as Key keeps playing with low energy, Vols will continue to slip. I have seen her playing a dominate role in the past - good player but not sure what is causing her current speed bump.
Be thankful that next year Aubrey Griffen, Paige Bueckers, and Caroline Ducharme will join Azzi, Aaliyah, and maybe Dorka for the rematch?That's about all I can say...
I'd hate to think what the outcome would have been had Ducharme played. I should be thankful.
Not to mention California Ice and the two-handed 6-3 dunker Ayanna Patterson. She must have Gabby-like hops to do that.Be thankful that next year Aubrey Griffen, Paige Bueckers, and Caroline Ducharme will join Azzi, Aaliyah, and maybe Dorka for the rematch?
