[Rickster]

You're crazy......but you may be on to something here.

This is the one, 1 seed team I'd rather play than any other. Only qualifier is I wish this was our 1st time playing them this year. Played them at their home to a one possession game, now on a neutral floor. I know we lost by 4 but we missed the winning shot and fouled the rebounder that hit 2 FTs with basically game over time wise, to make it look like a 2-possession game. IMO that was a one possession game. I too feel pretty good about this game. One of the reasons is I've noticed certain teams we hit 3s on at a higher clip than others. Texas is one of those teams that I feel our Ladies feel comfortable shooting3s vs their D.

He's trying to get in players' heads with this, pure and simple. He'd love for his players to respond with an inner monologue of "That's right! My azz can play hard for 40 minutes, unlike those pansies at Tennessee, and we'll show them on Saturday!" And he'd love for Tennessee players to get it into their heads, "Hey. Does Kim not think we're good enough to play more consecutive minutes? SHOULD I BE PISSED THAT SHE IS CONSTANTLY YANKING ME OUT OF THE GAME?"

He's worried. That much is clear.

Agreed.

I also think he’s trying to get in recruits’ heads. Texas and Tennessee are battling for some of the same recruits, so I heard the clip from that angle too.

It’s clear we’re on the way back, and folks are nervous!

Yes! I almost went back and added that he's sending recruits messages. Absolutely agree. I'm sure Vic's not the only coach doing this, either.

Yep. He knows the portal is heating up, and we’re in on some elite 2026 recruits as well. I can’t wait for Saturday!

All we need to do is beat him, and the recruits will know what's up.

If they want to post predictions in the game thread, they are more than welcome. I'm sure everyone that wants to post and play in your prediction thread does so.

I won't bother to post yours since you are so adamant to disparage me
have a rotten day

Just saying people can post what they want and where. Sorry you feel disparaged.

I don't normally guess scores and if I do, I normally post where the urge strikes. It has absolutely nothing to do with you or your thread so don't take it personal.
Relax, fly slow and enjoy the scenery.

These people need your prayers more than any of the teams.
And people who came to look for survivor's.
Take a minute to remember Myanmar earthquake in your own way.

Probably one of the dumbest statements I’ve heard from a supposedly top coach. CKC isn’t yanking players out the game in this system when she substitutes. Her philosophy is letting them regroup to go right back in.
Yanking out would mean they’ll sit down for an extending period of time.
Sounds like these coaches starting to get in their feelings because Coach Caldwell doing things they didn’t expect at Tennessee.
Great recruiter. Great personality. Great coaching ability. Unconventional system. At the most historic WBB program of all-time.

I didn’t read that as a shot to
CKC or TN. I took that as his kids can handle the challenge and have the endurance to play Tennessees style of play and they aren’t changing.

This young lady is The Total Package. Danny White knows what he's looking for in a coach. She's Absolutely going be successful in Life. The Lady VOLS are so lucky to have her. And she is lucky to have all the great young women she has on this team.GLV

Playing with house money in this one! Pressure is all on them!

The team isn’t just happy to be there, they expect to win.

Let’s go Kim and team, you know you wanna join Rick and the fellas in the Elite 8.

I see Geno was fussing about having to go to Spokane Washington for their tournament. I will say Birmingham is better for us than Texas.

He has a point in regards to fans being able to travel and short turnaround for whoever wins on Monday.

This may surprise some but there is a Bhm Big Orange Club there. Its very active. I'm sure they are thrilled to have LV's in town.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Texas struggled to beat us on their home floor.

That doesn't mean anything now

 

[Rickster]

That doesn't mean anything now

To you maybe. I’ll continue to believe!
