Good win over a top 20 opponent and a fun game to watch. Burdick definitely came to play, and Graves was more aggressive offensively.

Burdick is on fire lately. She's a rebounding machine & she can take the game over at times......solid player for us. Burdick scored 24 points today. That's solid right there.

She played one of her best games tonight. I think as the season progresses, we are going to see burdick take more of a leadership role.. I think come tournament time, this group of seniors are going to play very determined basketball in getting to the final four.

Burdick has been our most consistent player all year. Graves must stay aggressive on offense. When those two are active on offense it can only help Harrison.

If Burdick continues to play ass well as she has so far, it will make life easier for Izzy and Ariel. They had problems earlier this year when too many players were standing around on offense. They are making it so all five players on the court are legit scoring options, which will make help reduce defenses packing the paint.

I hope the Lady Vols continue to win, they certainly looked good today. Just my observation but we looked pretty good shooting 10 to 15 feet out. This is the approach we need to continue to use instead of trying to always throw the ball inside when the post is covered. We played more intelligently today than we have recently. I think we have been hurt in the past by passing the ball around, trying to get it inside, then rushing a shot when the inside is not open. I would still like to see Holly use a few timeouts when teams start to severely chew away our leads. All and all it was a very good game. Congratulations to LV and Coach Holly. Keep it up!!! By the way wasn't Graves awesome!!!

I was wondering what is up with her not being on the floor. She was still effective despite not feeling well.

The announcers had her "get beat, out hustled", whatever a few times; I think they did not realize she was sick. Not one of her better games but a lot of grit to play as long and as well as she did. With MSU running like they did, we needed as much rest for the other guards as possible. Alexa did her best, but the speed was a little bit much for her last night. And the thread spewing venom about her is classless. I wish it was deleted:machgun:

Was not aware Reynolds had became ill. That explains why Middleton was out there....She gave it a good go.
