Message: [QUOTE="LadyVols9, post: 1997413, member: 4107"] slightly different prospective on the game....even in Pat's time, TN had a way of looking "ugly" with some wins. TN's defense was the key. they took ND out of their game, which is what it's all about. even lobo commented on TN's defense in the 4th quarter. ND doesn't have a super star to bail them out anymore. this LV team is just so unpredictable. very frustrating for a fan. I will say this....Jamie Nared is a true gem. She is an old school LV type of player and I so enjoy watching her play. Russell is greatly improving as well. oddly enough, in the LV's big wins it has been Diamond's DEFENSE that has started the turn around. if we could just get her to stay focused on that end of the floor, then I would be very very optimistic about the team. she has the ability to be a great defender AND rebounder. we need all parts moving to make a deep run. will it happen? who the hell knows....
