That puts us very close to in the NCAA. Think this may push Vandy out for the time being and they are going to need to win a couple to maybe get in that last four.

Great game, Lady Vols played like I hoped they would! Rickea was really into this game, pumped, scoring, and hugging teammates!

 

[brittannica]

Really great game, really great effort all week. Hope they are able to recover and get in plenty of prep to take it to LSU next week.

I figure were up to a 9 seed cause were always a little better than what Creme has us. He had us a six seed last season and we ended up a four.

Looks like to me the more they play the better they get. This is at least one of the top three best performances by the team this season.

1 more win I would say we are definitely in.

Lose out and could still have a shot depending on what happens to other bubble teams

 

[Butch s]

We measuring the team now by beating Vandy?

Evidently

 

[Volfan2012]

Think that is 10 and 0 for Kellie vs Vandy.

Rickea says the LV locker room was “lit”, love it!

Yes one win will do it we need to win both the home games that would look like a 7 seed depending on the tourney.

We are preparing to take care of Sc the next time we meet them, we’ve learned from the mistakes we’ve made and should take care of them next time.

Pierre had been averaging over 17 points per game over their last 3 games and we held her to 0 points on 0-11 shooting.

Whoopee! Got Ace and Edie in, always a good sign. Great win, not all as pretty as the 1st qtr, but very solid. Very good tourney statement.

Why take Rickea out after the 4th foul and not put her back in, should have just left her in the game.

She needs to play, all the best players stay in late to pad stats for post season awards, our coach needs to do that for our best player as well.

Much as I'd love to have seen RJ get 30, the risk of injury is just too great. Rickea's place in the W is solid, only injury would change that. As far as individual awards this year, she's a lock for All SEC, and in my opinion the best player in the league when she's firing on all cylinders. If it was an actual award about Most Valuable to their team, no question it's Rickea. But it's not MVP and Angel has POY pretty much sewn up and deserves it with her stats and double doubles.

RJ actually could have had 30 easy just in the mins she played if we could have gotten her more shots. But dang, the way she took over in the third qtr to squash Vandy's run was awesome. Such a bonus that she does it with such ease and grace. 24/7/4 assists, great game.
Her passing has been on freakin point the last few games.

Off day for JP, but nice day for Kaiya. Glad for Tess to hit some 3s. Not a great day for Sara, but she'll be back. So happy and proud of Jewel. And another nice day definsively. Great win!

Now let's watch Ole Miss and Miss State! And rest up for a week before LSU next Sunday. Excited already.

I think it is going to be a ball game. If were tied after the third quarter with them huge chance to win. They usually sucking wind come the fourth quarter.

Memorial gym is a difficult place to play. I think Memorial gives Vanderbilt even more advantage than just being the home team. Having said that, Tennessee's play was even more impressive as a result.

Tennessee needed this game and played like it with intensity and urgency. The team has played at another level the last two game. Very proud of the team!

Yea we don't need to look like were rubbing it in on a team even if we would like to sometimes.

UT has a full week to prepare for LSU. I hope UT can have the biggest crowd of the season. Hoping for at least 13K. 2 huge homes games next week. Never know what can happen at home. Great win today glad I got see them in person. GLV!!

Defense has been lately, which I still don’t believe sometimes.

That’s the ‘WinnerCircle’ effect!
I’m the first poster on VolNation to use ‘lit’ in a post and now the LVs are saying the locker room was ‘lit’ after dominating Vandy aka candy!

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

Congratulations , a nice win for the Lady Vols! .. Feel like they will get a win against LSU ! They seemed to have shown improvement , especially since how they played against SC .. Can’t wait until next Sunday ! Rest up and take it to LSU! !

Respectfully disagree. Not a big fan of “It’s all about March” as I enjoy the regular season and SECT, but hate to see a competitor go down in garbage time while chasing stats.

Take a number WC. No way in the ninth level of hell is this a true statement.

 

[Volfan2012]

Pissott 1 of 5 and 1 rebound. She really hits those boards with that 6'5" frame.
