I guess Cooper is not going to play tonight. Also no Moore, I knew Diamond wasn't playing.

Nice finish to the half. Mercedes is looking great. Impressed with Reynolds and Dunbar too

Russell needs to get her hands up more. She is not using her height enough on defense.

But she is finishing her shots well.

69 field goal attempts is a lot. Russell 23. Carter 19, Dunbar 15, Middleton 13, Jones 12, Jackson 8, Graves 8, Reynolds 3.

Hey, what's with running up the score at the end when the shot clock was off? Holly calls a time out to set up a play? Is it OK to disrespect your opponent like the LV's just did in the quest to score 100 against a DII team?

Lots of reasons to be optimistic. The wide open three's that CN got are a little concerning, considering the fact that Tennessee knew they would shoot a lot of them. I hope we can get Diamond, Cooper and Nared all back, then this team will be really good. Worried about Diamond and Cooper though..

Jones has amazing body control. Carter looked fairly comfortable with her shot. Several players - Carter, Jones, Middleton - showed they can stop and pop a mid-range jump shot better than they could last season.

I still fail to understand how so many LV teams of the past - and now this one - cannot pick up the opposing teams' three point shooters. C-N had a dozen or so makes and attempted about 25 threes.

I thought the score could have been much much worse, especially if Diamond and Tea were available to play. I thought the team played a little bit soft, maybe to limit any further injuries.. I wouldn't be casting stones Linkster, as I can point you to many situations where Geno ran the score up and showed no mercy to teams who had no chance to even compete with his teams

I'm scratching my head over that too Jeff. They gave up way to many three point shots, and I thought this team would be even better defensively than they were last year. One thing is for sure, Holly was pissed about it.

I thought we were outcoached by a coaching staff paid in total less than six figures. ours is paid over $1,000,000. We are getting the short end of the stick. props to C.N. they hustled and for most of the game were very competitive, although never were a threat to win. I doubt if Carson Newman could win the girls state high school championship in Tennessee. Our defense remains missing in action.

This has nothing to do with UConn. Pat would never have allowed her team to disrespect an opponent, especially a D-II team in an exhibition game. The players C-N had on the court were 5-4, 5-5, 5-5, 5-10 & 6-0. Russell celebrated like she just scored on Griner.

Sorry but while there lots of good things to say about how Tenn played tonight, that play at the end looked out of character for the LV's.

It looked like they were working on an end of game situation. With advancing the ball and running a play for Mercedes.
