Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs UCONN. ; Thurs Feb 6th ; Home game; 6:30 PM Eastern; ESPN...WIN 80-76

[Orange007]

it's been a min since our guards outplayed a UCONN team. the sky is the limit for CKC. there's no doubt to me that this just sealed the deal on at least one recruit.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

This is one of the first teams I’ve seen in a while where every single player is just so athletic.


Night and day.

As I said earlier, this only the second or third full game I’ve watched. The entire team is in elite shape, it’s unreal. The speed that they play and the ball movement is incredible. Credit to CKC and the players, they’ve bought in.

I noticed the stadium wasn’t completely filled, but I think this win may help bring more fans back to games! Keep this Vol train going! Neat LSU next on the road!

I am so freakin' happy right now .... I could cry.

the stadium was pumping tho. the crowd was electric and definitely helped a ton. i can attest, i was there.

That rebound on the last missed three was huge, that kept the possession alive and the score kept the pressure squarely on UCONN.

It was ours to win or lose at that point, they could no longer dictate the outcome

I watched the last two minutes, was busy and I'm sick as a dog currently but that made my miserable day, that win was huge. Caldwell is way ahead of schedule. She's going to be tough to deal with for years to come.

Moist eyes for sure…

A great team win, every player had their own moment. So happy for them, especially the seniors. I probably shouldn't post this on a public forum but I am really emotional today. My mom had a major stroke and got news today she won't survive. This win helps so very much in a very tough time, possibly in my life. What to go Lady Vols!! Monumental win for this program. UT is on the path to host as a top 4 seed. No one thought that coming into this season.

Will be praying for you and your family.

Hope Coop begins to realize just how good she can pass the ball. That pass to Spearman just won the game!!!

I know right

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

If not, you know they were watching on TV.
Probably some former players in the house, for sure.

 

[SGMVols]

46 rebounds to UCONNs 34! Huge stat line.

If you told me Coop would have just 11 points and we’d be -7 in turnover margin, I’d have never guessed a win.

Defense and rebounding, with just enough late clutch shots on offense carried the day. Our defense on Bueckers in particular was outstanding. Almost every shot she took was contested.

 

[Orange.]

Never lost to UConn. Suck it, haters.

 

[KB5252]

It's crazy to think, even in our losses we have played the elite in women's basketball to the wire. No easy outs here, and they will only get better as the season goes........ And their brand of basketball translates well to the tournament.

That's from playing hard ALL NIGHT!!!

“Kim just kicked my ass.” — Geno, outcoached.

 

[vol94]

Lobo is feeling it - a Lady Vols win! Geno knows it, too!

It’s been a while where I thought our Vols would pull off the dub late in a game. I just felt confident for once, begging around the 2-3 min mark

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

it was a rlly big crowd. very loud too for what we had.

16K and change according to Rice.

 

[CannonVol80]

Me too, just did not think we would get a fair shake on the officiating. They missed several but not enough to win it for UCONN. Shocked them.

Yes, and despite what some people on here think, Coach Caldwell was all over the refs on more than one occasion when it happened!

maybe parker if was Knoxville game.
I Waz there in person.
Parker had dunk in that game too

It was C Parker who beat them last.
Only game I ever seen huskies play in person

 

[Volfan2012]

Our defense has shown a lot of improvement. We played almost a straight up game not much trapping in the backcourt and we were not pressing that much. Played a lot of halfcourt defense and played it very well.

Not to mention the future seems to be bright with top tier recruiting. I think I read Kim has a top 1-2 class?
