Game Thread: (23/24) Lady Vols at (RV/NR) Alabama

[Volfan2012]

Marta played a terrific game today played within the system and had a very nice game. Horston, Davis, Burrell and Key were amazing today.

 

[Rickster]

Can't wait to watch the game. I had a feeling.....

Rennie threading through the lane this year . hmmmmm
Nope .
She’s clutch from outside . Keep at it !

Agreed. Shoot that basketball.

 

[KrazyVolFan]

We are definitely a slow it down get it to the paint team. We play so much better thru our bigs and then letting the outside shot fall

 

[VolBall09]

Just want to mention that earlier this season I said Jordon Horston would be our next AA. Please mark that down. She is growing before our eyes.

She had a superb game today.

The entire team did really. Can we make it two in a row?

 

[Volfan2012]

Can't wait to watch the game. I had a feeling.....

Best game we've played all year the second quarter was near perfection.

Best game we've played all year the second quarter was near perfection.

On both ends of the floor.

They showed a lot of maturity tonight. No way we have a 30 point victory coming off a loss like UGA last season.

 

[Volfan2012]

Bama won't be ranked and I think we'll stay in the top 25

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

y'all think Tamika Catchings Indiana Fever GM is gonna take Rennia 4th in the WNBA Draft?

 

[I4Vols]

SEC refs for WBB have always been bad. They must be the rejects from the ones who could not make the team for mens BB.

Just so nobody thinks fans only complain about the refs when they lose, I must say too many obvious no calls and just some lousy other calls against both teams. The guy ref really stunk it up.

Game recap: Pat beamed down the early 3Q timeout to Kelly. No dawg repeat.

 

[Volfan2012]

Did Harper call a timeout when they scored the first four of the third quarter I was watching the end of Stanford Colorado?

 

[VolBall09]

Loss to UGA grinds my gears. Don’t give that one away and we’re sitting at 4-0 atop the leader board with SC.

She (Horston) really did. I think it threw her off a bit sitting for a long time in the second half. She had no t.o.s for the bulk of the game, then picked up a couple of cheapos late. But truly one of her best ever all around games. She's scored more before, but rarely has played under control and with such sharp decision making as today.

Making it two in a row, both for Jordan and the team, is the huge question. This is truly a Jekyl/Hyde team. Never know what you'll get.

Yes but maybe that loss will prove beneficial down the road we know leads are not always safe.

Yes, she did

 

[VolBall09]

I hope so. As long as we learned something from it we can absorb it no problem. Last few seasons we let the losses snowball. We appeared to learn from our mistakes today. Hope it continues.

 

[Volfan2012]

Yes, she did

I'm glad it made a difference they were looking to get back in and after that they went south again as we got going again.

winning in OT at WVU and we are sitting at 11-0

However, i must say i don’t feel the sick feeling in my stomach like that loss to GA would turn into a 6 game slide like in the past with other teams. It just feels a bit different which i appreciate

 

[djohnnyg]

Its nice to beat Bama in.... something...anything. Plus they have owned us the past few handful of years until last year we got that last second shot. Now we beat em soundly...which is nice.

One good thing is that our Dr. Jekyll is a lot better than he used to be. When we play well we actually look really good. Like really really good. And it looks easy, crazy we can still flip a switch and go backwards though.

 

[Volfan2012]

I'll have to watch this one a couple more times much more enjoyable the second watch than the first.

 

[Border Vol]

Now, after today's stomping of Alabama, TN Lady Vols look like they will give a good fight vs UConn.

UT needs to end the series with UConn

 

[EcRoberts]

I want someone on our team to BULLY THE HELL out of Paige Bueckers.

 

[mudcat1973]
