Looking forward to the next locker room celebration, our Team deserves to celebrate, SO PROUD!

Our Team is really good!

If we can stay .... oops, not going jinx us by saying what I was about to say.

She was struggling with the handle today but defense was .

It’s hard to handle when both arms are being grabbed by two players. Basketball isn’t fun to watch like that. That’s why they’re supposed to call those freedom of movement calls.

Preach it .... loud & clear.

Emily isn't showing up on ESPN's box score for some reason (yet?)

Their stats have been a little off frequently as of late

Exactly.

From the time the score was 24 to 15 Georgia we won by 17.

I thought we really played a good game from that point on with just a few lapses. Much better point guard play in the 2nd half. We overcame TK being on the bench. Hit most of our late free throws! I used to feel anxious when Horston was in the game, and now I feel calm and confident, just like the player she has become. Rae provided some good moments as well, and so glad she is back. Overall, this was a huge victory!!!

In the National Championship game Horston goes for 30 points 20 rebounds and 14 assists.

 

[Volfan2012]

Barker probably fouled out three times. Think she got called for three fouls today.

edit. Statistically, (by net rankings) our third best win. #7 Texas, #19 Virginia Tech, #23 Georgia

Yes, but their rating is down from a couple of losses when they didn't have Stati, and this was at their home court which means so much in all the rating services (c.g., road wins at rated teams).

TK plays the best defense of her career and goes for 16 points 12 rebounds and 13 blocks

Question of the day:
How does Arkansas vs. Misssissippi State get Dee Kantner's officiating crew while the #5 Tennessee Lady Vols vs. #13 Georgia get the SEC's biggest clown crew to call their game?!?

Here comes the money.... money money money..... money.

Loved Andraya Carter's analysis on why Tennessee had fifteen ( I think) turnovers in the first half. To paraphrase: For those that might have missed it. She said, Georgia plays such an aggressive defense. They ( Georgia) get into your personal space and cause you to speed up. When you speed up...you are just trying to get rid of the ball before you turn-it-over. Unfortunately, your efforts to avoid a turnover causes a turnover.

Sometimes, we as fans forget the other team has a vote in your performance. Lady Vols ability to control the pace in the second half and limit turnovers was critical for the win.

rae drive for a lose ball. wish she would let it go. hate to see her end up with bad back. like larry bird he sure drive on the floor for lose balls.

 

[Volfan2012]

No doubt Georgia is one of the best defensive teams we have faced on the road. We needed this win over them after those two close losses last season.

I, as everyone else here knows, the basketball floor is very unkind when you fall on it.

 

[Volfan2012]

However when we play the best defense we can the other team is totally lost on offense. Georgia 8 points in the fourth quarter.

Tennessee vs. Georgia - Box Score - January 23, 2022 - ESPN

Burrell went 33 minutes today that is by far the most she has played.

 

[ttharp]

What a great win! This team’s had to overcome a lot of adversity the past couple games. We beat a tough Georgia team that beat NC State at their place. We just continue to build a solid resume.

I hope Keyen is OK and we get Darby back soon!

 

[mudcat1973]

espn has tenn # seed! if anyone else post first my bad. 1# seed with win over geogia bulldogs

 

[Volfan2012]

I think my psych improves with every game. The last few years really did a job on me and if we don't play well at any point in a game I keep thinking about the past years and failures. I am slowly coming out of it taking me a while.
