Great game! Take that Vandy! Anchors downed.

Anchors away back to Nashville..please!

A thirty point win is a struggle?

It was tied at halftime, around the time of the post.

 

[chuckiepoo]

It was tied at the half when that comment was made

Filed under “Half Time Quotes that didn’t age well” …no biggie.

Then there was one. SC 88 LSU 64
24 point beat down , snapped Reese double double streak at 24 . Boston still hold record at 27. LSU in my opinion fare well at home and probably would have lost to the Lady Vols.
SC is hard to defeat with Cardoso and Boston on the court together.

who cares

 

[Coach Jumper]

Nice second half. Going on a cruise today, boat about to leave. As always go Lady Vol’s.

enjoy

Too bad the game is 40 minutes.

I'm sure the last 20 really irked a lot of unhappy fans, judging by their absence. Lots of wasted nonsense all ready to post.

When Tennessee wins the crows lose their tongues but big trolls never stop throwing mud. its more nice on here after a win less wind jammers!

Just like Mayhem...always around the next corner.

2 wins clinches a top four in the SEC. We have Auburn then we need to win a road game at either Arkansas or Kentucky. Not winning against SC. Just one win might do it, but two clinches it.

 

[Volfan2012]

Rest of the team other than Horston and Jackson were 16 of 40 today about as good as can be expected from them. Horston and Jackson go 17 for 27 which we would take everytime we play.

Probably not too many…win the games you’re supposed to win. The comment by Memphis was valid as it was at halftime tied to an inferior team. LV second half did what they didn’t do in the first half, nothing more nothing less.

Good win, great 2nd half! Both Horston and Rickea were cooking at the same time, which has not always been the case. What continues to amaze/befuddle me is how our defense can be so stagnant and porous for at least a half in most games, and then be so much more intense and mobile the rest of the game. That 3rd quarter was a thing of beauty. Yes, it was "just Vandy" but the facts are that this has team has played good defense in parts of most games. It is the main reason I still hold to a thread of hope that this team is capable of finally upsetting some teams in the postseason if they can play defense for an entire game, starting with LSU in the semis of the SEC if the seeding holds to form.

who cares

I do it's SEC and I'm not alone. Battle between # 1 and # 3 and you don't care. LOL. Please son

 

[Prophet1]

So, who thinks Dawn kept Boston in until 45 secs just to keep Reese thinking she's second...
Why else put at risk that team leader when up huge?

She didn't, but do you really think she would've gotten six more rebound with Beal and Cardoso on court. Another point is Dawn isn't Kellie.

 

[kell7517]

Way to turn it on in the second half ladies. Bottle whatever you had at halftime and take it with you the rest of the year.

What the hell does that mean? SMH!

 

[glv98]

We are a two woman team, if Horston and Jackson aren’t dominant we are going to struggle. Is what it is at this point

Not many teams have two players like that. We're lucky. It's just gluing together the surrounding pieces around them we struggle with.

Nice to see Horston playing this well. I feel like she's been a little off since that huge game against UConn. 6-7 shooting today, 1-1 from 3, 5 boards, 3 assists, only 1 turnover.

I was really frustrated w JH at halftime. She simply has to find some consistency if we have any chance to make any run, and the first half was another in a little run of subpar play for her. Amazing as she is, Rickea can't always do it alone. So glad JH brushed that curl back and played great the second half. Both had some impressive swats today!

Rickea seems really locked in and her relationship with the bottom of the net continues to flourish . Best D I've ever seen her play. Man I hope we can get a run in the tourney for her. But JH has to bring consistent help.

I could watch Rickea play basketball all day.

Not many days left. Two more home games. It's been fun to watch her.

Kellie lit them up!

Actually, she said she didn't. Reminded them what they were supposed to be doing. Also tie game, fresh start, only this time get it right.

Harbison and the other guard that do most of their scoring were 8 for 35 today. We finally defended the players that matter the most something we haven't always done.

Several players did a really good job on Harbison. I was worried about her. Vandy has a future. They're scrappy and well-coached.

Tess had a nice game, good to see. Not sure why Jill didn't play more but she was incredibly productive when she did play.

I’m glad we won but unlike some of you I’m not getting excited over beating VANDERBILT nor and I’m gon think just because the second half was good we can make some noise again it was VANDERBILT some of you all are so inconsistent it was bad team play bad coaching decisions when we lost to MS State now all of sudden some say we are dangerous again just because we beat again VANDERBILT

Sorry for your suppressed excitment level. Hell I'm excited by just a well-played stretch any more, against anyone. Call me a lesser fan I guess.

BTW we are dangerous! You see some of those "shots" today? We endanger backboards all over the SEC.

 

[glv98]

Per the game notes, Tess' 3s today give her 50 made for the season. First LV since Aerial Massingale in 2014-15 to reach 50. Aerial had 74 makes that year!

We need to get more open looks for Tess.

How can anyone manage to say all that without passing out? It's a medical marvel.

Nice dub today for TN. Rickea and JH are unguardable.Today we saw South Carolina beat an overrated LSU by shutting down Angel Reese at time with dominating defense by Boston. There are two big differences between TN and LSU. TN schedule and Rickea and JH. South Carolina had players to guard Reese one on one. Nobody on South Carolina team can shut down JH or Rickea one on one. Jillian keeps up her play and TN gets South Carolina on Rocky Top. TN will play its best basketball against South Carolina.

 

[glv98]

Nobody on South Carolina team can shut down JH or Rickea one on one.

Brea Beale says hold my beer. I don't know about shut them all the way down, hope not, but elite guards will definitely make it harder for them to operate. It will be great players against great players so we'll see what happens.
