Game Thread: 2023 Women's NCAA Tournament...Round of 16: Lady Vols v Va. Tech...Sat @ 6:30 ESPN2

Justine and Key need to work on that this off-season, I notice they are scared to get hit

I agree I enjoyed it because it didn’t bother one bit but I enjoyed being physical from the beginning. Most females hate that part of the game. But it also start with weight room and eating clean but most importantly knowing when and where to pick your spots.

How long has it been since the ladies have had a dominating tournament win like that?

You're funny. UNC lost to Ohio State by 2 today--at Ohio State--while we beat a Toledo team that was completely overmatched physically and didn't look like it even belonged in the tournament. I've no idea how they won their first game. But if you want to believe that this was a great Vol victory, I won't try to disabuse you of your fantasy. Banghart done as much or more than Harper and she's not working with a tradition of 8 national titles.

You don't think we had something to do with the way Toledo looked today...? The team that just beat Iowa State, who just got hot and won the Big 12 tournament? Ok, sure...

Also, UNC had to play at Ohio State as a 6-seed because they lost half of their last 10 games and had a loss outside the NET top 50. I do wish the women's game would move to neutral sites but UNC ended up where they did for a reason, not by random chance.

bahahahahahahahaha... All I hear is we did what we were supposed to do.

According to some on here she has beat down kellie on the recruiting trail over the last couple of years with all these all americans. You would think that would translate to at least a top 4 and hosting at home especially getting their "missing piece" back. Can't have it both ways

You don't have to try to convince me of anything I'm good over here...

Have a great evening i know mine is going great

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

Such a ray of sunshine....

I'm good lol... some people just can't accept the a great win even when it's right in front of their face. That team (only the 12 seed) beat the Big 12 tourney champ lol... soooo again we did what we needed to do and with style

The LV bench outsored the LV starters 52-42. They could get to the final four if this kind of bench performance continues. Well, maybe, I am overly optimistic since they have to play VA Tech and quite possible, UConn.

All I know is that if these first two rounds were not enough for you, nothing will ever be enough for you. Nothing. Two forty point wins to start the tournament is about as good as you're ever going to get.

Wonder why Kellie didn't put Horston back in for a final ovation for her last game at TBA?? Does Kellie know something we dont??

Since Saturday.

I feel like she’s coming back. After the game everyone was hugging on Walker and congratulating her on her last game at TBA but Horston was just relaxed and chillin. Don’t think that will be her final home game.

Can’t wait to find out for certain!

last round
;o)

Since the beginning of the 2nd half of the SEC game versus LSU, this team has played the way we had hoped for preseason. Something seemed to click in which their nagging doubts were put aside. They won their first round game by the biggest margin of any team despite all the 12 highest seeded teams playing teams with lower seeds than St. Louis. We exceeded that margin tonight and so far have the biggest victory margin of any team in the 2nd round. Getting bench players so involved in both games was icing on the cake. Powell and Puckett had morale boosting tournaments. All this is the best way to unify this team! I am looking forward to Saturday for the revenge leg of the unity tour!

Whining about officiating when you win by 40 os very classless. Very very classless

When you get a like from Darth you are obviously headed down the wrong path.

Just more facts from Lucy today lol

 

[Volinnooga]

It's game like this you can see we don't have Xs and Os.

Gosh if we had Xs and Os, we may have doubled their slcore.

Saturday COULD be special!! UT men going to their first ever Final 4 and UT women advancing to the Elite 8 with a likely rematch with UCONN on Monday night.

Easy, boo…

 

[Only1COJ]

Yep, you’re probably over optimistic, but you never know.
