Go Lady Vols

 

[PG1]

If JH has any nagging injuries that are causing her offensive woes then she should sit out this game and the Chattanooga game we can beat those teams with 3rd string. Yawn.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

they need to let out their frustrations from the Stanford game hate it has to be ETSU

 

[Volfan2012]

Hopefully we will see more Wynn and Striplin in this game. Time to give them a lot larger exposure to playing time. In limited attempts Striplin is shooting 45 percent and Wynn 42 two of the best percentages on the team.

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I need Karoline to play 20+ minutes let’s give Tamari a rest

A WIN WOULD...

• Improve Tennessee to 10-1 and send it into the holiday break with its best mark since doing so at 12-0 in 2017-18.
• Make Tennessee's all-time record at Thompson-Boling Arena climb to 482-51.
• Push Kellie Harper's record as head coach at Tennessee to 48-19 in all games, including 30-6 at home.
• Increase UT's NCAA-leading all-time record to 1,411-352 in 77 years.
• Raise Harper's mark vs. non-conference opponents to 29-9 during her time inKnoxville.
• Lift Harper's all-time record vs. the Buccaneers to 5-1, including 3-0 as head coach at Tennessee.
• Bump Tennessee's series record vs. ETSU to 25-2-1.
• Nudge the Big Orange's all-time mark vs. teams currently in the Southern Conference to 68-20-1.
• Make the Lady Volunteers' record 254-61-1 all-time vs. four-year college teams from Tennessee.
• Improve Kellie Harper is 9-0 in those types of match-ups in her third season on Rocky Top.
•Tennessee enters Monday night's test after losing a top-10 clash with No. 3/3 Stanford on Saturday evening, 74-63, in Knoxville before a season-best crowd of 10,017.
•The setback to the Cardinal ended Kellie Harper's finest start in 18 years as a head coach. It also halted UT's best season-opening run since 2017-18 as well as a 10-game home winning streak that dated back to Jan. 24, 2021.
• ETSU, meanwhile, comes to Knoxville bearing the weight of an eight-game losing skid and 1-10 overall record under first-year head coach Simon Harris.
• The Buccaneers' most recent contest saw them drop a 61-48 decision at Jacksonville State on Thursday night.

We might need Darby to play 40 minutes in this one. Wynn and Striplin need to keep learning by watching from the bench...

Wynn needs experience. Need her speed on the floor. Striplin has potential to be a nice addition if she can learn to keep the ball high and rebound.

Yeah but Darby is the x-factor that will determine how far the team goes in March. She needs more minutes...

She needs to be more aggressive without the ball to get open more

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I’m sorry what?

 

[cwbytruckers]

Watching Baylor and Michigan it’s sad how much better they look offensively than the Lady Vols.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I’m sorry what?

Exactly

It’s a ETSU that’s 1-10 Our bench could play the entire game and still win

Baylor is overrated and Michigan is a 1 women show we should not aspire to be like them

I’m not talking players. I’m talking how they run their offense

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

I’m not talking players. I’m talking how they run their offense

I’d like us run our offense like Stanford

 

[Rickster]

Bob Kesling (play-by-play), Madison Blevins Hock (analyst) and Kasey Funderburg(reporter) will be on the call for the SECN+ broadcast.

 

[chuckiepoo]

Did not realize Hock has an AP ncaaf poll vote.

 

[Darth_Vol]

I’d like us run our offense like Stanford

I'd like us to run an offense, period...

 

[PG1]

Just a useless meaningless game but is what it is prediction 144-28 hope no one gets injured.

 

[Rickster]

I'm sure the money ETSU makes from the game will be appreciated and well used. Big name programs still need to help carry the game.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Wynn needs experience. Need her speed on the floor. Striplin has potential to be a nice addition if she can learn to keep the ball high and rebound.

I saw both of these girls play the prior HS year...I have NO doubt that both of them are motivated to not be relegated to the pine

 

[Adarthvolfan]

Let’s hope we don’t lose Wynn or striplin to the portal because of the coach’s fascination with Darby
