Lady Dawgs Vs Lady Vols game thread...

[preachermatt83]

Huge game. If our girls can go on the road and beat a top 7 team I will be further convinced that we have the best team in America.

[99jc]

I think we win today. The 2 teams that concern me the most are Missouri and Kentucky. Vic has never beaten Kentucky. Win or lose this game we can win it all this year.

[Parker Street]

I am surprised there is not more interest in the MSU women's basketball team on this board. MSU has one of, if not the best team, in women's college basketball.

As a Lady Vol's fan I see ya'll winning today by 15-20 points today.

Tennessee plays three true freshmen a lot of minutes (all McDonald's All-Americans) who love to commit TURNOVERS. Tennessee had 28 turnovers against Notre Dame. Tennessee leads the SEC in TURNOVERS, while MSU has the fewest.

Here's hoping there will be no injuries in the game today.

It's Pat Summit day at Knoxville....forsee lots of questionable calls favoring the Lady Vols....

It's WE BACK PAT WEEK in the SEC (January 21-28, 2018), not Pat Summit Day in Knoxville.

Will Kara Lawson call a biased game?

Better her than the refs.

[RocketDawg]

Victoria is playing with intensity today.

[RocketDawg]

Better her than the refs.

True. So far she's doing fine. And I believe the refs are too.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I'm surprised we didn't sub any in 1st qtr....

[Leeshouldveflanked]

McCowan getting owned by Russell

[starkvegasdawg]

All UT has is their post player. We make some of those easy shots we?ve missed and we win this walking away.

[RocketDawg]

We're playing a really good game so far. They really step the pace depending on the competition.

[LC Dawg]

That was a really good half. This is the way elite teams perform.

[maroonmania]

Our women are good at basketball. That is all.

[msstate7]

Flipped over from afc championship to see that basket. Woman announcer on tv sounded like she was gonna cry

[starkvegasdawg]

Blair as tough as they come.

[RocketDawg]

Blair's going to have to start wearing a helmet. Seems like she's cracking her head on the floor every game.

[preachermatt83]

Roshunda Johnson has played a fantastic game.

[Saltydog]

NT

[maroonmania]

Don't you love it when a ref comes into to overturn an already correct call.

[HaggardDawg]

Ref at mid Court comes in to overturn red who was right under the basket

[maroonmania]

Bibby seems to have trouble holding onto the ball. She just fumbled that for an assist to TN.

[mparkerfd20]

Tennessee is fouling the **** out of our girls and not getting called. Over the back on almost ever possession

[cheewgumm]

Women b-ball refs are horrendous

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Probably should have played Holmes some in 3rd qtr.... William out of gas....

[maroonmania]

Feel like this quarter will decide the SEC. TN has cut an 18 point lead down to 9. We need to take back control.

[RocketDawg]

Tennessee outplayed us that quarter. Vivians being out the last 4 minutes or so didn't help.

[HaggardDawg]

And of course Kara Lawson would say that call should t be reviewed even though it would take 2 seconds to confirm ot

[maroonmania]

Probably should have played Holmes some in 3rd qtr.... William out of gas....

William just doesn't have her shot today. Even missing some free throws.

[LC Dawg]

You had to know Tenn would make a run at home. The qtr break should help us. We need to start the 4th strong.

[starkvegasdawg]

Time for Vic the insert a foot in the posterior and get our girls? attention and end this game. They gave UT some motivation. Got to get it back.

[RocketDawg]

When McCowan scored the last time ... she was waiting on the ball to inbound, and one of the Tennessee players (Nared, I think) was pushing back on her trying to move her out of the way. Isn't that a foul?

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Ref at mid Court comes in to overturn red who was right under the basket

Was it the bill duke that overturned the call? She is always good for 3 what the he'll calls a game.

[LC Dawg]

We look a little gassed. That?s concerning.

[starkvegasdawg]

VV now taking awful shots.

[Saltydog]

control.

[Dawgology]

The fix is definitely in.

[starkvegasdawg]

Blair says I got this.

[LC Dawg]

Huge shot by Blair

[maroonmania]

Huge 3 ball by Schafer.

[Coach007]

We are DEEP!

I hate we lost what was sure to be a starter. Not sure what happened with her, but we were set!

[HaggardDawg]

Was it the bill duke that overturned the call? She is always good for 3 what the he'll calls a game.

Aren?t they all?

[starkvegasdawg]

Wish they?d burn clock.

[Coach007]

We are not good at breaking the press The score may be different if UT had done that the whole game. Vic kinda pissed about that

[starkvegasdawg]

Refs calling some ticky fouls now.

[maroonmania]

Great job by the ladies to stem the tide and bring this one home. SEC is ours for the taking at this point. :)

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Great Job!

[LC Dawg]

Elite teams go on the road and beat good teams. We are elite. Still some big games left but we are setting up well for postseason.

[bulldawg28]

Maroon.. .white...fight fight fight....Mississippi State....Woooahh. Damn right!

[Cooterpoot]

Impressive! I?ve been waiting on this game to see how we really look. Still a little worried about bench scoring but our starting 5 are fantastic! And we handled the length and athleticism of TN.

[maroonmania]

Emergence of Johnson has made this team even better than last year. We now have 2 players in Vivians and Johnson that can drive and create their own shot. Makes us very difficult to defend.

DAWGS rule, Vols drool! 19 pt winner in Vol Country. Awesome! Hail State!

[Todd4State]

Never in my life did I ever think that we would go to Knoxville and beat Tennessee by almost 20 in women's basketball. Remarkable!

Just wait and see what Coach Joe does at Tuscaloosa this fall.....

[Todd4State]

Just wait and see what Coach Joe does at Tuscaloosa this fall.....

Well, we'll see about that. If the 1-2 losses that I think we have that's probably the most likely one.

[bulldawg28]

Pump your brakes

As a Lady Vol's fan I see ya'll winning today by 15-20 points today.

Well done.

I think we'll be undefeated going into the NCAAT. I don't see a team outside of maybe SC that can hang with us and they're not what they were last year.

[West Tn Dawg]

What amazes me about these girls is they don't let the big name programs get in their head.
They fear no one!!!!

Beating UCONN will do wonders for your confidence.

[West Tn Dawg]

I agree, but they went into the UCONN game believing they would when too.
The zebras took the two games they lost to SC!

[smootness]

Oh, no doubt. I was joking.

But if they had confidence before, it was sort of a feigned confidence of sorts. Now they KNOW - they can and will beat anybody.

[the59dawg]

Fromj what I am seeing, girls are doing a great job with the press. Still only taking 2, ocassionally 3, to get the ball into half court. As soon as TN doubles we throw to the person left open by the double. Working every time. Great job on that. Not our team's first rodeo.
