[youcancallmeAl]

What a great game! Arky showed me a lot. Thank goodness we won.

Tennessee wins, Tennessee wins, Tennessee wins. We have Jordan Horston and Rae Burrell, and Y'all don't. As always go Lady Vol's. 19-2 BABE

Puckett DOUBLE-DOUBLE!!

 

[VolBall09]

WOW shot looked like Darby’s earlier. I thought she hit it.

Same. Tess does that often. It either goes in or it’s perfectly on line but an airball.

I thought Ramirez hit that too

Exciting game & finish lady vols!

 

[zaqhhh]

LADY VOLS now have:

7 4th quarter comebacks
6 comebacks by 7 or more

6 wins in which Lady Vols had less than 19% chance to win at some point in a game. (3 in which they had less than 10% chance)

This is such a weird box score. Both teams shot 39% from the field, 30% from three - the only real difference is Tennessee had 60 rebounds to their 40, 19 assists to their 12, and 16 turnovers to their 10. OH, and 75% FT for TN, as opposed to 60% for Arkansas. Basically a dead heat the whole way, if you read the box. Tennessee's turnovers helped Arkansas significantly, but Tennessee also did more to help themselves down the stretch.

That was an exciting game.

We have not fixed our issues, but we gutted it out against a really hot team that was built to beat us.

 

[I4Vols]

This was probably the most fun game of the season. Just big plays when they needed them.

No, only if you are a cardiogist

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

What a game!!

Exhausting to say the least. Thought it would not stop.

 

[Vols2015]

Thank God! TN wins 86-83 OT! Horston and Puckett both with the double double! As much as this was nerve racking, and the mistakes me made, the Lady Vols found a way to win! This is a game I think we needed to be reminded of how we can be faced with a big test, and we found a way to solve it and get through it! These Ladies may not be perfect, and frustrate us a lot, but they sure are fun and are a team playing and rooting for each other! The fans, coaches and players all fired each other up! This is another game in the books for our team!

It’s over, Tennessee wins, Lady Vols found a way, huge comeback, I have tears.

GO LADY VOLS!!!

Oh my Lord, my blood pressure.

What happened to Dye???

Dye was all the place tonight. Taking too many outside shots and poor man defense. She’ll be fine but was off tonight.

 

[Volstylexx]

I don’t think this win can be overstated. It seems crazy to say it but this win might have just saved our season. I feel much better about our march to the final 4 after this fight back tonight. This Arkansas team was red hot, demolishing everyone they have played lately.

 

[Mr French]

It had everything to do with being tired.

Also had a ton to do with her teammate not meeting the ball.

No it doesn't. Apparently you have zero idea. Guarantee you that if you asked her she would absolutely agree she lapsed mentally. Athletes make their money when they're tired, hurt, and games are on the line. Not when they have perfect conditions.

 

[AntiochVol81]

That was one gritty game. We didn't shoot that well tonight somehow won the game.

60-40 Rebound edge will help..

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Sara came of age tonight!

 

[Volfan2012]

I can watch this game again get a lot more information of what happened as had my eyes closed to much in this live one.

ME TOO whew

 

[Govols922]

Tough win!! These lady vols defended home court and grew up tonight. This game is going to help during the NCAA tournament. We will see teams like that down the line.

 

[VolBall09]

Hated this officiating crew. So many odd calls both ways.

Why are there never any former post players as officials? Should be required to have one big woman/man in the crew. Say what you want, but those former guards don’t get it. That was absolutely not a foul on TK. Was clean on top and Spencer flung herself into her body.

Thankfully she missed those free throws. She’ll think about those for a while.

60 rebounds in a conference game is impressive. I don’t know the stats but I would venture to say there’s not a better rebounding team in the country.

Ramirez ends up with 29 points. Man everything was going in but the one that really counted.
