Game Thread: Tennessee (15-8, 8-3 SEC) versus No. 1 South Carolina (23-0, 10-0) @ Food City Center, 2/15, 7:00 PM (EST), ESPN

[Woodlawn VOL]

Tennessee women have to go get a big strong girl that has a mean streak. One that just rams into players like South Carolina’s does. Pat would have somebody that would play as tough as they do. The refs let them go WWF so you go get WWF to fight them with. Pat would already have a tech in this one maybe 2. Also they aren’t cutting off the driving player quick enough at times you cannot let them get that deep. The refs are horrific, but we got to get mean underneath and try to get under their skin.

 

[UT Challenger]

No offense now. Just throw it up.

Fatigue is setting in

 

[Volstylexx]

Once again- if Jewel doesn’t get going, we don’t win. Two players (Kea and JP) aren’t gonna beat this SC team.

Unfortunately, she's been cold for 33 minutes, she's not going to find her shot tonight.

Fatigue is setting in

very true. we just don’t have the bench they have. our starters are getting TIRED.

 

[I4Vols]

So SC can just knock us to the ground with no whistle... and we are straight up and down and it's a foul. GOT IT

Anyone on this board think Key could have hit an SC player high and not get called for the foul?

Interesting temporary blindness by the lady ref under the basket, but consistent blindness

 

[Deebowbear]

LVs keep it close and nobody will be wanting to fire her got this figured out the go and lose to vandy

 

[87&91ALUM]

South Carolina gets away with so much…

 

[Volstylexx]

Hard to believe we haven't beaten a top-ranked team in the last 18 years... haven't been to a final four in 15 years.

DAMN my NEGAVOL coming out.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

SC girls can’t believe it when a foul is called on them

 

[mudcat1973]

No the ref we all love called a foul. Coach took a risk and brought JH in for height in the middle

Was trying to said don't shot to quick on offense and leave other team time to shot end of quarter offense

The problem in this game is that the refs are letting one team's bigs play hard and the other team's gets called for every aggressive move. Guess which is which!

That's my fear. What does a close loss take out of this team with their third (and most important game) on the schedule for Sunday.

 

[87&91ALUM]

Nice block…gotta hit some threes.

 

[th2421]

Rickea's first block of the season was a HUGE one!

 

[LVol]

Get the ball to Puckett she is calling for it

 

[mudcat1973]

Nice block Jackson

 

[TN1111]

Such embarrassing half court offense. Good thing is SC looks about as bad

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Great block by Rickea!

 

[lfvol]

Powell’s athleticism and competitiveness to defend has been big. Easily the second most valuable player tonight. She isn’t out of place.

 

[87&91ALUM]

we can’t win against these biased refs. SC getting away with murder.

 

[Unimane]

Watkins hacked Jackson on the steal, no call.

 

[TN1111]

Game

 

[87&91ALUM]

49-57…oh well

 

[LVol]

Dang!
