How was that not a charge?

 

[Volstylexx]

Powell has made about five really bad decisions already tonight. Really frustrating player because you need her aggressive.

I can live with the poor choices because of the point production early. It's clear she has THE fight in her, and I can fully support that!

 

[Volfaninfl2]

TN ahead 28-25 at halftime!

 

[JCP201]

Jackson, Puckett, Key.. Great. We are leading the half.

 

[volfan__18]

Idk how that wasn’t a charge. She was set

 

[Vols2015]

I sure hope we can keep this game up! This would be a monumental win!

 

[Volstylexx]

TBA is rocking and Dawn is MAD. If we keep this up, she might not even answer when Danny White calls.

28-25

That's about as good a first half as Tennessee could have hoped for. They're defense has been really solid.

Could have been better if Spear hit a few shots she normally makes.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Thank you Kellie for trying not to coach that second quarter.

 

[Deebowbear]

Look out second half cocks want miss many never seen them miss so many shots. Dawn will hell on wheels second half

 

[Voluble2]

We will need to find our shooting touch in the second half because SC will be told to start pounding the boards.

9 Rebounds by Powell in a half against anyone especially SC is crazy

Thank you Kellie for trying not to coach that second quarter.

Winning post of the night

Nikki McCray Pension was a part of both Tennessee and South Carolina programs . Both teams should be ready.
Since Dawn Staley and Nikki McCray Pension were teammates on team USA Team. Looking for both teams to give their Best effort to win.

Tennessee volunteers is giving effort.
Got keep up

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I am impressed by the first half hustle from the Lady Vols. No telling what their record would be if they had payed with this attitude all season. Really hope they can keep it up in the second half.

They are doing such a good job of boxing out. They aren't all going for the rebounds. They are putting a body up on their SC counterpart to make sure they don't get the ball, and it's opening it up for Powell to grab the board on the clearout.

 

[Deebowbear]

Why
haven’t LVs played like this all year? But they are tired

 

[Coach Jumper]

Thank you Kellie for trying not to coach that second quarter.

I hate it that I love this

 

[LVol]

TBA is rocking and Dawn is MAD. If we keep this up, she might not even answer when Danny White calls.

That's funny!

The smallest person the court too!

 

[Coach Jumper]

100%
If we lose it will be within 13 points
If we win it will be by 5

so far so good

 

[JCP201]

they just said this is the lowest points SC have had at the half all season. Wish this team played like this all the time.

2nd Half “Game” plan. Stay in their grill and make them call the foul. Getting ready to get chippy out there…

 

[I4Vols]

This game will not close. Whoever thinks it will be close is high. We will be lucky if we don’t lose by 25 or more. Sorry to burst you bubbles to those of you that have your orange colored glasses on. I hope I’m wrong but I’d bet the farm I’m not.

Still might happen, but I could use a farm...
One thing I'd probably bet on happening is that the ref's will call the game differently in the second half
