Go Lady Vols !!!

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

the coaches poll still ranks us below Kentucky so lets get a convincing win!!!

I'd love to see an encore, but I have a feeling Kentucky is going to be digging their heels in this one. I'm not saying they're going to win, but it's going to be a hell of a lot closer than the last game.

I'll say 71-67 Tennessee...assuming Tamari continues her recent play.

I agree... if you hit them early you may be able to take them out but i have a feeling this is going to be back and forth. Especially in their house. But if our ladies are chomping at the bit to be able to play so that might be a plus .

78-63 Tennessee

72-58 Tennessee. I think the wheels are off in Lexington. Hoping for a strong showing first game back! A repeat defensive performance would be awesome.

 

[Border Vol]

The LadyVols will beat the Lady Mildcats 71-57.

 

[ttharp]

A win vs Kentucky bodes well for momentum. We need a confident team going into the A&M game. I’m hoping we don’t go on a downward spiral in the month of February as we have in previous seasons.

 

[creekdipper]

The staff should have the team prepared to weather some early foul calls, especially on Rae and Tamari.

 

[dapeak]

My hope... is we come out and make a statement. And continue to make them.

 

[sisaq]

Without Marta I don't kn how we going to play

 

[Volfan2012]

If we win this one will be by a small margin they are much better team at home. They shoot it a lot better there and have much more game energy. The key will be what kind of shooting night Howard has she is always the determining factor for them. Tennessee 68 Ky 65

Faster maybe!

 

[mlindsay]

I don't see it happening but I would love to see a blow out! I want to see Jessie, Tess, and Especially Emily get some time. I truly think we will need to rely on Emily at some point down the stretch, especially if Marta is in fact going to be out for the year. There is going to come a game where the refs are calling everything and we will see TK and KK on the bench with multiple fouls and we will need Emily to come in and not miss a beat.

I am hoping we win 85-57, but think it will be more like 79-75 as I think we will be looking a slight bit ahead to the two top 10 matchups.

What's the latest on Marta?

 

[VolBall09]

What's the latest on Marta?

In the presser Kellie said she’s day to day and “really limited” but she said she told Marta they “aren’t counting her out.” But she doesn’t know how much she’ll be able to go.

Sounds like Marta is begging to play and they are keeping her out. That’s the way I interpreted it anyway. Hopefully a good sign that she’s starting to feel better.

Word is Howard is an arrogant punk and the UK program is imploding, so this should be an easy win right?

Where did you hear this? I very much doubt that's the case.

He heard it here. He’s just being flippant as usual . ‘Tis Darth after all

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

It’s repeating the chatter around here and how some of the posters are talking about Howard’s attitude and the teams play as of late

If we lose it will be used in a post believe that haha

 

[Rickster]

Thats so unlike Darth. What was the deal with font color again?

Apparently font color is way too complicated.

I tried. Never again...

I laughed a lot at those interactions

I agree with the Howard part,, don't know
about the imploding part. Don't think it
will be an easy win.

I believe the Lady Vols have the potential to run the table for the remainder of the season. They will get a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if they do so. I know this is a bold statement. However, they have the talent and I predict that Coach Kellie will begin to establish herself as the next great WCBB coach at UT.
