I really love the move of putting Dunbar at the 4. Think she's going to thrive there.

Tucker looks to be running ok. You can tell it has been a while since she played a lot of basketball.

We didn't force the ball inside. We worked the ball inside. First time I have seen us work for shots. This is the way you play offense. Work that ball around and hit the post when they least expect it.

Going to the zone just completely shut them down. They couldn't get the shots they wanted and had to take a lot of contested shots.

Best we've played against a very good team. I really like what I saw tonight. Less than ten turnovers awesome performance.

Izzy ended up w/21 points tonight & 8 rebs. Just a great win against A&M. Looks like the offense has caught up with the defense at least in this game.

This is what happens when they make the open jumpers. Burdick shot the ball with supreme confidence...no hesitation whatsoever.

I thought Ball movement was good, and players were moving without the ball. This was a good effort against a very good team.

This SEC network is great. We're catching a Tennessee game about every two to three days.

It is great. I'm on the road all the time so the secn with my appletv is the only way I can watch them play

And jannah made a sweet move to the basket, even though she missed. didn't see her limping like she did in the Stanford game.

:clapping: A&M got within 9 points & then "BOOM" TN went up by 18 PDQ.

I had been a bit worried, but the LADY VOLS looked fantastic tonight. Also agree about loving the SEC Network!

Look for Gary to throw a 1-3-1 or maybe a box 1 to start the half. I'd be disappointed if he didnt have a "1st 5" scheme coming out.

Are y'all missing someone tonight? Team didn't look right from the very start. Very happy with the LVs tonight.

Wow: that might have been the best game UT has played in three years--certainly the best offensive game. Congrats to the team. Impressed most of all by the decision-making by almost every player. Saw a lot of confidence on offense by most everybody (except Graves). Burdick played an absolutely brilliant first half; Massengale is finally living up to her potential; Carter with great defense and might have made the play of the game; Moore contributed significantly. Taking nothing away from this amazing performance, but I didn't see much of the supposedly formidable A&M defense. If Graves ever learns to play in the paint (and she's a junior), we could be dangerous. Great game.

with the basketball, moved it well, shot it confidently. What I liked was that players were taking the shots they are comfortable with. A&M has two very good players but the rest of the team was meh, whereas as we really got good play from a lot of people--and we should.

Is it to late in the season for jannah to see significant minutes, or to be worked back into the rotation?

A great win for our Lady Vols,with outstanding performances by several players. The best part of the game to me was seeing Holly have her players backs.We haven't seen that for awhile. This performance,both the players and Holly,bodes well for the future.

I don't see how. She's clearly trying to help Moore gain her confidence, and seems committed to Middleton as well. Along with Massengale,math at seems to her eight player rotation. Jones' return makes it 9, and if she's slow to return, then Nared will get those minutes instead. Dunbar and Tucker appear to be blowout specials only.
