[Lady Vol Guru]

Now that's game

Not hardly! What a pessimist!

 

[Coach Jumper]

Sara Puckett is too slow.

I hope she read this for inspiration

So were the Lady Vols losing the last two minutes? If so, by how many?

Losing by five with 55 seconds.

Ballgame

Obviously we weren’t watching the same game!

Tennessee is back. You wanted ELITE and got it today on the court where Missouri took down South Carolina last year!
Welcome to Rocky Top College GameDay !

 

[Lady Vol Guru]

5 Threes by Franks she was just on, is the difference

The difference in them making it close instead of the Lady Vols blowing them out???

 

[VolBall09]

I choose to believe Pat Summit blew on that last Puckett three and kissed it off the glass.

 

[creekdipper]

we've got to foul to give

Got to be cruel to be kind.

 

[dillyo51]

Yalllllllllll I cut the game off after that Franklin 3!!!! No way we won?!?!?! What happened?!?! Who was the hero?!

Hero? The entire team!

 

[Orange Maniac]

I’ve picked the Lady Vols point total on the head the last 2 games. Wasn’t quite as accurate picking the opponents score. Pesky devils.

Lady Vols trailed 65-60 with 1:02 to go and MO had possession of the ball. They turned the ball on the inbound and Walker hit the easy layup to pull us within 3. We then got then a VERY good call in our favor. What should have been an over the back foul against TN somehow turned into a jumpball. Jackson then commits what could have easily been called a carry - kicks it out to Puckett then nails a three to tie it. TN then has beautiful defense and holds MO. TN brings it up the court and Jackson hits the bucket AND 1 with 1 second to go. MO got a good shot to tie it at the buzzer but Lady Vols hold.

didn't they have another recent dirty player...sophie

I knew we were in for a fight from that opening no call on the baseline hook of/on Striplin

I saw that, too. It was a blatant hook and right in front of the official.

A serious question. I seem to recall that flopping was a point of emphasis this year. In fact, I remember a technical foul called on Uros Plavsic for what the ref determined to be a flop. Is this a point of emphasis only in the men's game?

Puckett with the big bucket and Rickea Jackson with the knife to the heart.

 

[UT Challenger]

Sure hope our 3 point shooters show up Thursday. Looks like Puckett is getting her shot back and we need it.

 

[Orange Maniac]

Jackson didn’t commit a carry, her hand was always on top of the ball. A high dribble isn’t a carry.

 

[therealitytheory]

Down 5 with a minute to go and score the last 8 points - a very determined effort. Terrific comeback.

We have to defend better going forward though - way too many blow-by layups.

Don't know if it is in the women's game cause Frank got away with one big time against Rickea Jackson.

 

[Switch 625]

Really??? Your negativity sure didn’t age well!!!

Don’t get your blue hair and bedazzled sweater vest in a wad.

And we had been doing better with those lately. We get rubbed off trying to go high on screens a lot, then they drive down the lane. Either go low or switch.

we seem to stop one step short
I have seen this several times now
no more free throw sessions,,defending the drive is next

It's getting a ton of attention in the W, lots of reprimands and punishments for it in recent seasons. Seems there is no consistency in how/whether NCAA WBB refs call flops.
