Game Thread: 2024 NCAA Tournament Round 1 #6 Tennessee (19-12, 10-6 SEC) vs #11 Green Bay (27-6, 17-3 Horizon ) Saturday 3/23/24 ~12:00pm ET (ESPN)

Yes, GB is scrappy and know how to play team defense. i would not be surprised if they generate TOs early in the game and keep it close. The LVs tend to be slow starters, particularly after a lay-off.

A lot depends on how the LVs are shooting from outside which has varied from awful to great all season.

My prediction is that the game stays kind of close in the first half (and the board will be flooded with damning posts) but GB will fade in the 2nd half and the LVs then will build a double digit lead.

I agree and the damning post will be by BOTH the so called "NegaVols" and the "Sunshine Pumpers".

I see both complaining about the coaches substitution pattern every game thread.

Woke up and my immediate thought was the game! Let’s lock in ladies! Surprised I didn’t dream about it!

I’m hoping we get impactful minutes from Jill today. We’re really gonna need her this weekend.

I’m also looking forward to seeing how Karo, Sara and Tess impact this game. On paper this is a good matchup for them.

I don’t think Rickea has to go for 30 and 15 to win this one. At least I hope not. I hope to see a balanced scoring effort.

Rebound, rebound, rebound!

 

[Coach Jumper]

We're gonna crush em by 25+

Edia should get minutes today

The players need to approach this game like a pitcher in softball... focus on the next pitch, not the last one, and you'll be fine

GLV's

Believe it’s 6 games to win the Championship.

One game at a time.

Starts today.

GO LADY VOLS!!!

74-60 LADY Vols. They will pack paint on D trying to take advantage away which means they will give us many open 3's let's see how we are dialed in. In CHRIST Alone

LVFL Andraya Carter said Spear is the X-factor and that Rickea needs help.

 

[Vols2015]

I hope Key comes out to guard the 3point shots from the bigs!

I’m finally back, but let’s get this win

 

[Volstylexx]

What an underwhelming pre game team message: “you used to suck bad, but now you suck less” that will fire them up!

 

[VolBall09]

How i feel right now

 

[Vols2015]

TN players going invisible on camera from the green screen March Madness lol

 

[Volstylexx]

Tamari just towering over their post player!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara gets first basket, here we go!

 

[NoBackBoard]

GB post is boxing out. We have to beat them to the spot.

 

[VolBall09]

Silly one for TK with her height advantage she doesn’t need to hook like that.

 

[Vols2015]

Tamari doesn’t even need to be physical when she catches the ball. Just go up with it.

 

[RAVOL]

That's a garbage call by ref on Key
