Lady Vol Volleyball 2024

[knoxvol52]

Big win at Auburn, now need to win vs Florida tomorrow night on SEC Network at 7:00 p.m. EST.

 

[Putbacks]

Since Auburn was ranked at the time, hopefully it will be a catalyst for turning the season around for us and finishing impressively enough to get in the tournament. (That win over Auburn was in Knoxville though, BTW.)

 

[Vol67]

Women have lost their legs, against UF they're not hitting down at the ball.

 

[Putbacks]

Phew! Almost gave that first set away!

 

[Putbacks]

So they did give the 2nd set away…Tied up a set apiece…

Tennessee starts the 3rd set with 2 consecutive service errors!

Set 3 =

 

[knoxvol52]

Lost last 2 sets and gave very little resistance.

Is this a NCAA tournament team?

It’s not looking like one right now. 3-5 in SEC play after this loss.

Good win for the ladies last night. Probable too little too late to make the tourney, but I love the effort they're giving. Great group of girls.

Great win this afternoon over TAMU! Our girls are playing really well closing out an up and down season with 3 matches to go. Post season could be fun.

The ESPN announcers seem to think that the LadyVols stand a good chance of making the NCAA tournament if they can finish strong the rest of the season. Their RPI was 38 as of today and that should improve with their win over A&M. Tennessee's strength of schedule is no. 9 which is very good in the eyes of the selection committee.

 

[Putbacks]

Our next 3 matches are at home, so it is crucial that we take care of business against all 3. Arkansas will probably be the toughest to pull off. We will see Georgia and SC for the second time each. After those 3, we close out the regular season at Austin, Texas. Let’s hope that is not a must-win match. That would be a tall order—although Texas is not invincible anymore, not even on its home floor.

 

[Putbacks]

Inexcusable!

 

[knoxvol52]

Lost the match to Georgia 3-2

Lost the match to Georgia 3-2

Likely the fatal blow for tournament hopes. What a disappointing season.

 

[Putbacks]

Down by 3…cut it to 1….down by 3…cut it to 1…down by 3…cut it to one. Just can’t get over the hump.

 

[SGMVols]

Must win tonight or season is over. There’s no SEC tournament in volleyball to try to steal a bid and the league is not good enough this year for 8-8 to get us in.

 

[StickMan]

I thought the same, but the commentators tonight seem to think we're in. We do have an rpi in the low 30s. Would have probably helped if we had at least been competitive tonight.

Every projection I’ve seen has UT solidly in the field.

 

[Switch 625]

In the field! Playing GT in the first round of the Nebraska quarter!

Sweated it out. They were the last SEC team named. Seems like a very tough draw, but I guess we can't complain.

 

[Putbacks]

At least we’re dancing….We did get some experience on Wisconsin’s court last season, too.
