Game Thread: Lady Vols v UCONN; Thurs. 8PM; on ESPN

[GenRRN]

As someone who wants to respect Geno for what's he's done for wbb and the legacy of this rivalry... he just lost ALL of that. Classless

 

[cwbytruckers]

If the game was in Connecticut and the first quarter went that way we would be down 30 at the half.

 

[Dak1219]

Geno crying made me feel good. Sorry Geno, but your team did change. You made everything the first quarter, then turned the ball over the second. Refs had nothing to do with that!

It was Awesome!

Last play should have been Jackson on the floor and Horston with the ball. Bite me Kellie.

I missed that this happened but Jackson was on the bench with 2 fouls.

 

[creekdipper]

If we had not spotted them 20 in the first 2 minutes this would be a good game. Sadly it was over in the first minute or two.

Yeah, a four-point deficit is just too much to overcome.

 

[Volfan2012]

Finally got some players in there that could guard somebody. The lineup of Jill, Jordan, Rickea, Jasmine, and Jordan Walker were really effective on defense. We have some players that cannot defend and at least Coach Harper recognized it.

Did Geno say "this is what you always get when you come here?" lol

Yes, that was insane to say!

 

[Volstylexx]

They’re playing better with her on the bench

They had a good stretch to end the half without her, but this is a different team with her and Horston on the court together.

 

[smokeymon]

Did Geno say "this is what you always get when you come here?" lol

That's exactly what he said

 

[VolBall09]

Jill kept us in the game y’all never forget!

 

[Lurker]

Did Geno say "this is what you always get when you come here?" lol

He sure did! He sounded like Cousin Vinny. He blends!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Loving our crowd, they’re definitely helping!

 

[Dak1219]

We're Good. They hit us in the face. 2nd quarter, we fought back!

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Geno disagrees!

That was before the comeback

 

[th2421]

Jill kept us in the game y’all never forget!

Yeah, a really terrific game for her so far.

 

[creekdipper]

These refs are totally against us

Settle down, Geno.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Geno is such a douche

Always has been. Pat was no dummy to banish him from Tennessee.

 

[zaqhhh]

I still respect Geno and there was a difference from 1-2Qs but like did he think the 1Q was fair?

Lot of non calls. Maybe we had 1 or 2 to our way in the 2nd but like seriously that’s what you talk about in the interview? Come on man. Take some responsibility

 

[charleyhorse]

NCAA should penalize Gino for that rude reaponse!!! They stopped shooting 70% is the difference.

 

[volcruiser]

Have to have some offense from someone other than Horston and Jackson but we’re right back in this thing.

And who would you suggest? I'm waiting. Exactly! Give them the ball and WIN the game!

 

[DarkPhoenix]

UConn players started to look shell shocked at the end.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

UConn 33 Q1, 7 Q2….WOW

 

[Freak]

Yes, that was insane to say!

Screams of a guy who's used to always getting calls in his favor.

 

[Vols2015]

Why Puckett? Horston has the hot hand.

Exactly! Puckett’s shot has not looked good at all tonight. It’s off balance and flat. She seems nervous!

 

[VolBall09]

I missed that this happened but Jackson was on the bench with 2 fouls.

Yes I know. I still would have put her out there for that last offensive possession. You just made a huge comeback. Call a timeout. Set up a play and get a really good look for one of your best two players.

Some say don’t risk the third, but I say go for it. She’s athletic, veteran who has great body control. Rarely commits and offensive.
