That is what has made my head spin reading all these posts saying that UConn isn't that good, or even saying that they suck.

UConn is good. Really good. And Tennessee made them look worse than they are. Credit to Tennessee. It is one of the strengths of this team. I was really impressed with the Lady Vols in this one.

you just have to laugh posters who make that comment. Whenever you demean your opponent you just drag yourself down. If you say UConn is a bad team then Lady Vols are 24 seconds worse.

When you have a team that has two starters that were number one in their classes and two that were top five and another that was also a five star then you can come in with three or more five stars off the bench that has to be a very good team. If not then the rating services are useless. I think any of four or five teams could win it all and UConn is one of them.

That's what I say. UConn is as good as advertised. Maybe not the outright best team like they've been in the past, but one of a handful of teams that is favored to win the NC. And Tennessee stayed with them until the end.

Literally right in the post above this, about 15 mins before you said this. Is it not a standard board courtesy anymore to at least read the several new posts in the thread before you post?

That said, yes indeed, the improvement of Key the last few games has been very, very encouraging.

A lot of people have sisaq blocked so he doesn’t see many of the posts I think. He may have me “ignored” so he couldn’t see it. He used to drive me nuts but he’s much better lately so I un-ignored him

Williams kept throwing up threes and driving the ball in on post players...her technical foul changed the momentum of the game she should have been pulled. You cannot allow that if you're a coach and expect to win.

Her technical foul wasn’t a technical foul. It was Inouye being her usual whistle happy self. She did nothing more than yell “And 1” after the play which literally every player does.

Cameron Inouye is on a power trip every time she officiates a game. Absolutely terrible official and should be fired by the SEC. I’ve complained about her for YEARS and it’s only gotten worse.

And remember. Right after that play Walker got another steal and we scored. She had 3 steals, all in the fourth quarter and that got UCONN out of sorts and we closed the gap again. Her defensive pressure was much better than JH last night.

Well, really hate it that they lost. It was competitive and worthy of prime time. Good opportunity to learn some key issues. I knew our defense was pretty good but we had not faced a team of elite stars this season. Last night confirmed to me: 1) Our defense is real, 2) Our length will bother anyone, 3) Even when we are not executing our offense well, our defense is good enough to keep us in the game. From what I've seen so far this year, the SEC is wide open and Tennessee just as likely to win it as anyone else.

I KNOW YOU’RE LYING! That was the reason for the double T?!?! I was at the game and was totally clueless as into what happened.
Click to expand...

It wasn’t even a double T. It was a shooting foul on Edwards and then the official gave Walker a tech for “taunting” because she yelled “And 1” after she got hacked. The whistle on the foul was late as well. Inouye is a horrible official. There is at least one terrible officiating issue in every game I’ve ever seen her call.

Yes, our defense had a lot to do with their poor 2 and 3 point shooting. And who could deny our stellar FT defense? ;)

The poor FT shooting belongs to the fans! Also great defenders. So sad it couldn’t be a packed house. First game with any fans for UCONN though I believe and it seemed to bother their focus getting booed at the stripe lol.

We played good defense against UCONN. We excelled too on defense of their free throws ;)

Fans, players....missing FT's was on them. I won't cheapen the game we played against one of the top teams in the country. Even the blind can see the maturation process running its course. This team is getting better each week. The Nega's are running out of negative topics to post after each game. Most people are now aware that the LV's have a good team.

I just wanted to say as a UConn fan great game. Kelly has Tenn on the right track to be great again. There were alot of "ifs" for both teams in the game. It couldve gone either way. Tenn is much improved from past seasons and is getting better. I was very impressed how they stuck to their game plan. You know what...the LVs will be ranked higher in the polls because theyve earned it .

I’m already tired oh hearing how “Paige” etched her way into the Uconn-Tennessee rivalry. Because she got a 3 pointer. Come on. If anything she showed she pretty much got shutdown the entire game. Cmon ESPN get off of Geno’s nads.
