Tennessee @ Stanford - 12/21/17 (merged thread)

[trb123]

I am losing peace of mind.
An imperial victory followed by a UConn win at Toronto will narrow the gap between Geno (1000) and Tara(1018).
I would rather embrace another religion than back the empire.

Funny, that's what I said about the Texas-Tennessee game as well.

Yet another highly overrated opponent for the Vol people to get all giddy about beating.

The title of this post is hilarious.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I’m rooting for some
maple magic tonight. Plus the return of Brittany McPhee.

Go Stanford.

Have rooted against TN and Stanford WCBB since the early 90s.... Thats over 25 years of dislike/disgust harboring within me

I don't have anything against Stanford. My only thing is I'd like to see Geno overtake Tara before 1098.

However, in this game it's a no-brainer. Go Trees.

But frankly, I'd be shocked if Tennessee doesn't win this game easily.

Well in my younger years, I was a UVA WCBB fan....... 1990... Stanford beat them in the semi-finals..... 1991.... TN beat them in the Finals... and 1992...... Stanford eliminated them in the semis.. in Dawn Staley's final game.

This could be a pitfall for the Vols? Unranked Tennessee beat 10th ranked Stanford last year. Could be a payback game for the Cardinal

Mary Murphy is the color analyst. She is really outstanding.

McPhee is back!

 

[Plebe]

TN leads 8-4 at the first media TO.

McPhee seems to be the only player for Stanford who can make plays. But she's now out of the game because Tara needs to limit her minutes.

Everyone else for Stanford is a bad play waiting to happen. Kaylee Johnson got a nice offensive board with a chance for a putback, and then proceeded to dribble the ball out of bounds. Similar bonehead plays have happened on almost every Stanford possession.

Although I did enjoy seeing Alexa Romano strip the ball from Westbrook and then draw the foul from her.

Watching this sad iteration of Stanford is painful. Their slowness of foot is matched only by their poor FT shooting and hesitancy to shoot. There's 1:49 remaining in the first Tenn is up 21-9 and Stanford has yet to attempt a 3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford is awful. How are they still ranked?

 

[LadyVols9]

TN should be up by 20. How is Stanford ranked? The LVs need to step it up. Nared, as usual, is balling out. Anxious to see how high she goes in the draft. Her stocking is rising.

Painful indeed. Their post player Coffee catches a pass near the high post and then proceeds to have no freakin' idea what to do with the ball, and ends up getting a 3-second violation.

Nared and Westbrook are both playing very well tonight.

 

[JordyG]

If Stanford could actually shoot FT's they'd be well into this game.

 

[JordyG]

Too bad Carrington isn't playing and McPhee has limited minutes. They'd actually be crushing Tenn.

 

[JordyG]

Tell you what. McPhee, like Maddy last night, has come to play.

 

[JordyG]

Can't remember the last time Tenn. had a post entry.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McPhee is good! Glad she's back finally.

 

[JordyG]

17 points for McPhee. She's starting to look tired on defense.

 

[JordyG]

Watching Tenn. their offense (not surprisingly) hasn't changed. Once over the half court it's one pass at most then time for a shot. Not much cutting or ball movement. Not many post entries. Stanford has had success by moving the ball side to side and getting second shots.

 

[Plebe]

McPhee has to do almost everything for Stanford. Her 3-pointer is off but her drive and midrange game are the best thing Stanford has going right now.

I like it when Hayes is on the floor for TN because she is a walking turnover machine. And the Vol fans think she's better than Crystal
