Oh please. I don't think you can make too terribly much of who started.

I need stats, or one of the normies along on the tour to post a summary!

here ya go... how about an official summary from the school

Lady Vols Open Foreign Tour With Victory Over Venice All-Stars - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[glv98]

Thanks! That answers the ? about Jewel and Wells. Dang, would have loved to see them.

Look at Sara w 15 pts!

 

[Volfan2012]

Wells, TK, and spears don't look to have played.

Wells and Spear not eligible to play two starters for sure come fall.. Key held out by coaching staff even though she had been released by her medical team. Jackson 20 points and 6 rebounds, Jill 17 points and 11 rebounds, Sarah 15 and 7, Edie 8 points, Tess 7, Kaiya 6, Powell 6, Striplin 5, Ace 5. We will get to see Spear in a little over a week in that USA tourney so look forward to that one.

Waiting on standard review of course credits. Is that the review that the NCAA does very quickly for other schools but waits 3-4 games into the season on ours?

 

[Dadof2Vols]

They earn college credits on this tour. It is justified with that alone.

Study Abroad with a round bouncing ball? Awesome sounds a little like UNC

Again, and always, Victims R Us. I'd say this has more to do w the players' respective former schools since Avery Stricklands credits apparently got reviewed and approved. Also, if anyone actually read the article before nailing themselves to the cross, Harper said taking the tour this early in the summer was a factor and they'll easily be approved by the start of the season.

On to Rome!

 

[lvocd]

Everyone looked great! As far as Tamari goes, I got to thinking last night that she had just the day or so before touched down after a 9.5-hour international flight, so maybe it was best not to play just yet.

 

[glv98]

TK probably has the best arms ever for a large grp selfie. Look at those smiles! Who begrudges this experience to students who work as hard as these do?

We do have the yet resolved issues with the NCAA. We shouldn't taunt them...they are fanny wipers, yet.

No problems just the usual red tape process that takes longer than it should. They will be playing next season and we can see Spear in the USA tourney coming up.

Absolutely awesome videos. I haz a jelly. Enjoy the trip LVs! you've earned it!

 

[glv98]

Game in Rome should be underway by now. Hopefully get news on that within a few hours.

 

[creekdipper]

Would like to see future tours to South America, Africa, Scandinavia, Canada & Northern regions.

 

[creekdipper]

I haz a jelly.

If it lasts over five hours, see your optometrist.

 

[VA_VOLFAN]

to 45 win it looks like for the ladies and it also looks like Jewel and Destinee got to suit up and play with their teammates

Lady Vols Roll Past Rome All-Stars, 100-48 - University of Tennessee Athletics
Doesn't look like Spear and Wells actually played. Sara on fire! 28 pt,11 rebs, Kea had 19 pts and 12 rebounds. Not much competition, but 3s were raining down again, always a good sign. Video on the right.


Kiley with the postgame interviews.

On to Sorrento and the Greek Isles. Absolute paradise!

2nd game highlights, looked like we sort of scored at will. Of course, it’s highlights.

Lady Vols Roll Past Rome All-Stars, 100-48 - University of Tennessee Athletics

 

[Volfan2012]

I look for Edie Darby to be a scholarship player come the beginning of the season. She played as well as Powell in these two Italy games maybe even a little better. The combination of Jackson, Hollingshead, and Puckett seems to be quite a trio at least against these teams we played in Italy. Something around 25 made threes without two of our best three point shooters not playing a minute is impressive. I think were going to be a terrific three point shooting team looking for 35 percent or better as a team. I think we could average 10 made threes a game. Lastly Kaiya Wynn is finally looking like a strong finisher on drives. As a team over 45 assists and only 14 turnovers in two games looks good even with the weaker competition. Now looking forward to watching Sear and Jackson in the USA tourney in just a few days. Jill in the 3x3 in just a few days.

Sounds like a great trip! Bummer Spear and Wells couldn’t play. Very excited to see what each of them brings.

I’d like to see Edie get a scholarship. She’s actually our tallest point at 5’7, with Powell and Wells at 5’6. This is a good chance for her to show what she can do, and she’s looking good.

Glad the turnovers are down, especially so early in the season.

About the 3’s, it’s great we’re making them, but this is basically against no defense. The question is who will make 3’s when the pressure’s on, and we won’t know that for awhile, but it looks like we’re going to have more options, and more players who can make 3’s, and that’s a good thing.

 

[VolBall09]

Also think Puckett really stepped up. She will be a very valuable player for us next season. Has the shot making potential to be a great compliment player.

I think it’s going to “click” for Kaiya at some point. Her jumper is looking better all the time. In the couple clips of her she was looking smooth and much more under control. She has the athleticism to be an excellent player for us. Really hope to see her commit to being a defensive stopper when she’s in the game.
