They were lucky that the officials didn't call a tech on the Vandy fans for storming the court after the last bucket. The TN called timeout is most likely the reason they didn't. Congrats to Shea and the ladies.

Hahahaha! Vandy owns Tennessee. The unranked Vandy men beat the #6 ranked Vols yesterday

 

[Ron and Vida]

And on volnation, they were screwed by the refs again.

Vandy will be ranked tomorrow

It’ s been coming If they held on against LSU who knows ?

I don’t know if the umps blew the cat but I do know that payback is hell

That is as inevitable as death, taxes, and my eyes being bigger than my stomach. There has never been a bad call that has worked in their favor in the history of women’s college basketball. Continuously blaming the refs for every loss at some point becomes pathetic.

I’ve been following Uconn basketball since 1995 Tennessee hasn’t changed. They may have mellowed however they are ruthless fans and this year they have less than a cupcake schedule and they play anybody that’s decent that can play defense and they will lose. When Uconn goes to Tennessee, expect a home job a lot of southern cooking but Uconn will still win by double digits.

The Boneyard Jinx in full effect

Wanna bet?

So what is Shea's record against UT? As a player and as a coach?

I only go to volnation when I need to regurgitate something. All that orange makes me nauseous.

Puleeeze, basketball deities, no jinx but - Vandy leads Tennessee 37-26 at half time.

C’mon Shea, punch something orange!

Risky move! But apparently acknowledging the basketball deities was enough to get Vandy over the line.

As a player I believe she went 4-3 (not counting 1997 Regional Finals/1998 regular season games where she was on the team but injured).

Her 2000 title game performance was probably her best game vs. Tennessee in her career. She had 15 points on 7-8 shooting, had 6 steals and 7 assists. More than stats, she was just a menace on the court and brought so much energy that Tennessee couldn't match.

Coaching she's now 1-6, this was a marquee win for her program and a great moment for Mikayla Blake who is going to be a major star for Vandy.

Oh, I've used that move before as well and MANY a team owes me big time for it

It's great fun! When they are losing, it's the best.

I noticed that one Tenn player went 2 for 10 from 3, and another went 0 for 5 from 3.

 

[Rowdy831]

Tennessee is an up and coming team, not a competitor this year type of team. I will say though that they could be a challenge for UConn because Tennessee shoots a lot of threes and UConn has difficulty defending them. With that said I also wouldn't be surprised if UConn wins by thirty.

 

[MSSportsGuy]

This TN team is good, not great but overall a slight improvement. Their very easy schedule did what it should do, which is build momentum for the team. To be fair, their losses have all been close ones with defensive lapses being the major culprit.

This is a tournament team that may make the second weekend depending on their seeding. They won't strike fear in many hearts this year in a stacked SEC but they aren't to be overlooked.

After watching yesterday's TN-Vanderbilt game on replay, I think UConn should defeat TN on February 6 by 15-20 points, I.e., not 30 but more than single digits.

It should be noted that this year's Tennessee team doesn't have as much size as we are accustomed to seeing -- their biggest player (Hollingshead) came off the bench yesterday, and did not score and had 1 rebound in 10 minutes. They should not have an overall size advantage against UConn.
