Miles hits layup!

 

[VolBall09]

Wonder if Dye might have the flu? She looks tired. Could also be why her back hurts?

 

[Vols2015]

Green with the block!

Where is Blackwell for Mizzou?

Not playing and they're tied going into the 4th quarter.

Great job KJH giving Miles, Green and Walker a well deserved curtain call. It's the little things.

a GREAT fourth quarter! Lady Vols Win!!!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Lady Vols win this over the Elephants from Alabama. 62-44. 1-0 in SEC play.

 

[Ladyvol777]

Tennessee wins, Tennessee wins, Tennessee wins. We have Tamari Key and you don't. As always go Lady Vol's

Did they say why?

Bama totally ran out of steam. Blew them out down the stretch. So proud of this team. Whatever the season has thrown at them they have punched back.

I was hard on Tess tonight but she hit some huge shots when we needed them most. She also made a couple smart defensive plays in the fourth quarter. She had some pretty hard-to-ignore mental lapses this evening though.

How bout Tamari Key!!!!! Love her. I need a TK Jersey. Sell me one girl!

 

[Vols2015]

This is a so much different and better Tennessee team! We have proven once again, our Lady Vols will show up and do what they need to do to get the win, no matter how ugly it may be. Players of the game, Tamari Key, Jordan Walker, Keyen Green, Tess Darby, Brooklyn Miles, and Kaiya Wynn! Kaiya got our ladies momentum started when she began attacking the basket at the end of the 3rd quarter!

 

[Voluble2]

Good win for the ladies.

 

[DEEFEEZEE]

Wynn player of the game for me her defense and energy in the last 5 minutes of third quarter got the momentum back for the vols.

 

[Volfan2012]

I really don't like a fourth quarter team to win games, but this seems to be what this one is. That was an absolute beatdown in the fourth quarter don't know why it took us that long to do it much enjoyed that quarter.

 

[UT Challenger]

Love to watch Miles play. She like a fly buzzing around on the floor.

 

[lvocd]

Great pass! Big shot!!

Miles has a great BBall IQ. That’s the perfect spot to hit Tess. Everyone on the Bama team thought she was going inside.

I honestly don't know who deserves the title "Steal of the Class" more, Sara or Brooklynn. They both have the ability to make my heart jump when they do things that freshmen aren't often ready to do.

And tonight, I love me some Tess Darby with those clutch threes. I am always going to have a soft spot for native Tennesseans who come to Knoxville EXTRA appreciative of the opportunity to live out a lifelong dream, but Darby's determination to make her mark on the program has, a couple of times already, made this old fan a little misty.

This whole darn team is special. Gosh, this is fun again!

Missouri up 5 early in 4th

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Thank you, Lady Vols, for salvaging an otherwise sh!tty week for Big Orange Nation.
Go home, Gumps!!

 

[Volfan2012]

Harper can definitely coach her move to rest Key the last four minutes of the third quarter really paid off in this game. Key came in and dominated Bama.

 

[VolBall09]

This MIZZOU game is not a #1 vs a bad team matchup. Is South Carolina vs MIZZOU and they HATE each other. All bets are always off in this matchup. They’re one of the more contentious rivalries in the SEC.

Especially with the legal drama a few seasons ago. And then two former SC players at MIZZOU. Zero love lost here.

 

[volnationnj]

Did they say why?

I didn't hear. Turned on after we took a big lead.

 

[Gilmore]

Great to see different players step up! Team effort, played with focus down the stretch.
