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

[ochoopsfan]

If Stanford plays like this the best they may do in the Pac12 is 9-9.

Yep. The league has gotten good enough, it's not going to be kind to mediocre teams. Stanford is mediocre at best currently.

The refs are killing the ladyvols!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Stanford makes some silly/unforced turnovers whenever they have a chance to get the lead down to 10 points or less. Stanford is liable to have 10 or more losses by the time the season ends. They need to sign an elite recruit if they want to get back to winning the PAC 12 yearly.

 

[LadyVols9]

the refs are desperate to make this a game. so pathetic.

Figures. Just because they're not getting every single call like they're used to on their home court.

This is so incredibly typical of the LV fans. Forever whining about every single call that doesn't go their way. That's what's pathetic.

Ha! A blind man could see how bad we’re getting cheated out of some of these calls!

They already have elite recruits (5 McDonald's AA in the last 2 recruiting classes). Other Pac 12 teams are starting to get more talent now. I think the days of them winning the league every year are OVER. Oregon St. has won 3 in a row and I'll just about guarantee you Stanford isn't winning it this year. They lose McPhee after the season, who looks like by far and away their best player.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh...how many times has a Stanford player been knocked down by a Tennessee player, with no call? I've seen quite a few. Quit whining Vol fans.

 

[Plebe]

Pretty much sums up Stanford's year:

You should really take of the orange-tinted glasses. This isn't VolNation.

One thing Stanford is doing well is rebounding..

It’s a message board about the game right???...

 

[Plebe]

Unbelievable. Stanford gives up a layup at the 3Q buzzer in transition after a missed free throw!

Tennessee should be embarrassed that they're not up by at least 30.

 

[Plebe]

Non sequitur.

 

[Boxerpups4me]

Stanford making a run..tennessee better shore up their defense

 

[Wbbfan1]

Finally Stanford gets the Lady Vols lead below 10 points. Do they have what it takes to win the game. Lady Vols 6 point lead with 2:30 left in the game.

 

[JordyG]

Watching Tenn try to run a half court offense is pitiful. As I predicted during the Texas game, when they find a disciplined team that is willing to execute, they will have problems. Fortunately for Tenn the first team they face with just a little discipline and a little athleticism is a woeful Stanford team. I mean didn't UConn crush these guys WITH Carrington and McPhee? I wish Stanford could at least hit FT's.

 

[JordyG]

How does Stanford win this game when they're the gang that can't shoot straight 3's?

 

[JordyG]

Tara at least should be happy that this undermanned, under talented team competed for 40 mins. without ever hanging their heads. Their body language was good to the end.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Tennessee a +20 at the foul line is about all you need to know.

I'm not blind and I can't see it. Man, if some UCONN fans are critical of the way UCONN is playing, what are Tennessee fans thinking about their team? They still don't look good. However, they have beaten every team they have played.

 

[Boxerpups4me]

Give a lot of credit to Stanford..they outplayed tennessee in the second half and really dominated the boards. If not for all the missed free throws and turnovers, stanford could have won this game

Tennessee gave up drive after drive. That has to be concerning, especially when they go up against Mississippi st..

 

[Plebe]

Tennessee a +20 at the foul line is about all you need to know.

Stanford: 11 of 22 from the foul line. That was basically the difference.

It's as if Shaquille O'Neal took all of Stanford's free throws.

That and Tennessee got 36 attempts. They lead the nation by a wide margin in that category.

Tennessee fans by and large don't care about quality of play. All they care about is that they're winning. Not a well-informed fan base, on the whole. (Some individual exceptions notwithstanding, including some of those who post here )

To be fair, a lot of those attempts were in the last couple minutes when Stanford was fouling on purpose.

Stanford played 12 compared to 8 for Tennessee

 

[stwainfan]

A good win first win at Stanford since 2005
