Game Thread: (#11/10) Lady Vols 64 - Va Tech 58

[Lucy]

I dunno, a fringe top 10 team only beating an unranked team by 6 points? Seems like Tennessee might have a chemistry problem...

It is so hard being Derth right now. Poor baby, this is all he’s got.

 

[LadyOrange]

If Sara isnt SEC freshmen of the week I will riot

Sara is the kind of player we need. She is skilled, coachable, humble, for the team.

Yeah, grasping for straws. So pathetic.....

I thought that Virginia Tech was ranked and was surprised to see that they weren't.

They were until very recent loss (Nov.26) to Missouri State (Kellie's former players).

They were just outside the top 25 in the polls that I saw, somewhere between 25 and 30. So, they are a good team, probably will make the tourney. They are preseason ranked 4th in ACC, I think.

They are not, despite the reaction here.

And because critical thinking isn't a strength for the Kellie water carriers I guess I also have to explain my comment was made tongue in cheek...

Question: Which 8-0 to date winning coach has done better so far this season? Kellie or Kara?

Correct, they were ranked(prior to losing to us) on the lower end of the top 25

Kellie has the higher SOS meaning she defeated more NCAA tourney teams most likely 4 so far ... still impressive by kara.

I'd like to see a Duke Vs Iowa match up when they aren't coming off like. 2.5 week hiatus of not being able to even practice. I believe Kara could probably still game plan for Iowa

Virginia Tech's schedule to date with Massey Rating

W Davidson - 118
W George Washington - 136
W George Mason - 218
W Coppin State - 278
W Campbell - 341
L Missouri State - 35
W UT Martin - 140
W Wisconsin - 184
L Tennessee - 7

Not exactly an impressive schedule. And they lost to the only two teams under 118.

[Coach Jumper]

37620VOL caught it. Your matchup saying TN is the host, but different results if VT is the host.

actually, it turned out o be the same result,,,VT losing

Question: Which 8-0 to date winning coach has done better so far this season? Kellie or Kara?

Kara has your favorite coach Dawn Staley coming to Cameron next week, while as we know Kellie has Stanford coming up. We're about to separate the women from the girls...

 

[gule]

Is Dawn bringing a banner with her?

 

[Coach Jumper]

"Separate"...good word,,,I wish.

Question: Which 8-0 to date winning coach has done better so far this season? Kellie or Kara?

"I'll take "Future Good-hires by UT" for 500, Alec"

Question: Which 8-0 to date winning coach has done better so far this season? Kellie or Kara?

Using Massey’s Ratings, as of now:

Kellie’s team beat teams with these rankings: 6, 31, 32, 33, 38, 55, 143, and 201.

Kara’s team: 17, 45, 77, 164, 174, 197, 311, and 354.

Kellie‘s team has played a far tougher schedule.

hey, Coach Jumper.. Do you have an opinion on the "walk" calls against Tn yesterday? Were they legit??

 

[gule]

I haven't seen the game yet.

 

[Coach Jumper]

hey, Coach Jumper.. Do you have an opinion on the "walk" calls against Tn yesterday? Were they legit??

For that zebra it was
I have seen the same 360 spin into a layup release not called and in the paint
Sometimes we get the three wise men reffing,,,sometimes the three stooges

I see more anticipating calls in the WNCAA than I do in all other leagues combined
especially on the up-fake into a jumpshot...you can lift your heels, as ling as the toes stay in contact witht he court no walk,,,yet I see this called wrongly (in anticipation of the foot leaving the court) in almost women's game I see

Oh interesting ? and good pot stirring to boot! We'll definitely know more after both play big upcoming games. But for now, unless Kara had her best player injured during the national anthem of the first game, I'd say Kellie.
