Game Thread: UT-Lady Vols v UCLA NCAA 1st Round

[BigorangeBoy]

Good pic of Pat, gave me a flashback some 23 years ago - I was asked at the last minute to attend a function at TBA with some people from Cleveland as well as Dr. Basketball's brother Jerry ( was called Musicman on the WGOW sports show). I'm honking down a mouthful of food, and Pat comes up behind me and slaps me on the back, saying "...y'all having a good time?..."

I think Tennessee stumbles and loses 74-68 in Holly Warlick's finale at Tennessee. I also think Princeton beats Kentucky and BYU beats Auburn.

I have no faith in the LVs winning....

Years ago, I did some work for a bookie...I learned some valuable life lessons when I collected the money from the people that bet with their hearts...

Always bet as if a gun was aimed at your head......Win, and you're ahead, lose, and you're dead.

With a lot of Mafia bookies win too much and you're dead also

All 4 have that doomed look

I read that they all looked doomed because Holly had been standing that way with her eyes closed for the entire 3 hour practice.

When she finally awoke from her sleep state, she said that Pat would be proud that these girls were an 11 seed, and that we are supposed to lose to UCLA.

Listen to the game on the Vol Network for as mediocre as the announcing of the LadyVols basketball games happens to be it's still better than the ESPN announcers.

vs. UCLA

Those shirts are fine and good but slogans don't win games, remember grind for nine. I want the ladies to win and prove everyone, include some of our posters, wrong. If they follow Coach Jumper's recipe, it is theirs to win. Go Lady Vols and kick some butt.

Statistical comparison is almost eerily similar:

Not worried about the talent on our team, it's the coaching that scares me. If it gets down to coaching, we are at a disadvantage.

Candace Parker has a message for the Lady Vols.

Here's a nice picture of Holly Warlick and Pat Summitt from around 1980

Especially the new assistant in the right.

 

[Volfan2012]

UCLA a seven point favorite sounds about right

The kid in that picture is what Holly supporters are holding on to. Admittedly it seems like an era and time that holds a lot of nostalgia. Unfortunately if she was an assistant on let's say a Nikki Caldwell coached team she could slide under the radar. The promotion to head coach, at a major college program, was too much for her skill set.

They're going to have a hard time keeping Anigwe off the glass.

Rebounding is a glaring weakness of the LadyVols in my opinion

They're not playing Cal, so Anigwe won't be a problem. Onyenwere, however, is a pretty good rebounder, but she's undersized.

Rebounding is a glaring weakness of the LadyVols in my opinion

That's about the only thing they do well...follow their misses and then miss again 3-4-5 times before turning the ball over.

 

[Volfan2012]

If they do that whip around crap today gonna be hard to watch I dislike changing from game to game but they are now showing a game in the first quarter between Mich St and c. Michigan and it is four minutes to gametime for the Lady Vol game.

Totally, had a brain fart.

 

[NoBackBoard]

The game will rest on Meme’s ability to make 3s. If she has a good game, we win. If she’s timid offensively, we lose.

 

[MAD]

Come on Lady Vols, we’re gonna do this.
