NCAA Tourney Selection Show

Mechelle Voepel sucksssss, immediately publishes an article stating we are the “biggest loser” in the bracket. She would have said that regardless of which region we ended up in or which team we played. She’s a piss poor reporter and a Lady Vol hater.

Also made 0 mention of MSST missing the tournament which should ABSOLUTELY be news. They don’t wanna touch that one though....

Michigan has been over rated all season. That’s actually where they belong. I’ve watched them play a number of times and they aren’t that great. Naz Hillmon is a great individual performer but they are thin beyond her. At 6’2” she is very undersized against our posts and she’s a true 5, has not attempted a 3 all season.

They do not have a pressure defense and they are turnover prone just as we are. I think we will beat them by double digits if we meet.

The only team they met with much size was Maryland and they demolished Michigan.

I have watched them too. They are inconsistent, but have looked strong at times. I would rather play them 10 times that FGCU once. FGCU nearly beat Arkansas at the beginning of the season - they were up double digits for a lot of the game. They spread the floor - it would be a difficult game, comparable to Missouri

I watched that Arkansas/FGCU game and it was a good one! Very similar style of play for both teams.

She also posted that NCSt wasn't the overall #1:

Stanford: The No. 1 overall seed, the Cardinal won the last of their two NCAA titles in 1992, basically forever ago. But they are the only team in their regional that has won a national championship.

Makes sense...otherwise, that meant TAMU was #8. The production of the show was not good at all.

Why do you think they don't want to talk about MSST? That is the greatest torpedoing of a top 10 team due to an inept new coach in modern history.

No way to sugarcoat it - that’s a massive failure by Nikki. She won’t last long in Starkville if she doesn’t get that team back on track, and quickly.

Who would be dumb enough to sign with her after this season...especially if 2/3 of the team is ready to jump through The Portal?

If there is an exodus, MSST is done for...period...until they hire a real coach.

Taboo in the women’s game to mention struggling coaches apparently. I find it ridiculous.

Where was she wrong? MV pointed out that the LVs had some good wins, pushed UConn to the edge and their reward was the toughest bracket of any #3 seed. That ain't exactly winning....

Is she wrong? Looks like Tennessee got a pretty tough draw to me...

That’s your perspective. She never misses a chance to dog on Tennessee.

I really don’t think so. Have you watched MTSU? They are tiny and outside of the Hayes sisters they are grossly out of shape. If we don’t beat them by 20 I’ll be shocked. She made it seem like they’re going to give us a run for our money. Don’t think so.

Michigan has been over rated all season, and the committee thought so as well. They are a 6 seed for a reason. Not that talented outside of Hillmon and I like our odds against a 6’2” post player. She’ll have no room to operate in the paint against us. She’ll either travel or get blocked every other time.

They lost to every ranked team they played at least once. We are battle tested and have some quality wins to our resume. Their statement win was a 9 point victory over #15 Ohio State.

And do you really think we matchup better with Maryland, Louisville or Texas A&M? I don’t. I’d take Baylor over any of those teams this season.

Yes, you’re right. It is my perspective. I think she’s a terrible journalist.

I think it will be a rout, unless Annie manages to get the entire Tennessee frontline in foul trouble with her drives to the basket. I don't know if her sister is a legit scoring threat and I don't think Booth is in shape. Can't see this being closer than 15.

Looks like she never learned how to shoot from outside (23% from 3). Zone them.

Yes. Tennessee played A&M very tough at their place, I think they win at home or on a neutral court this season. Despite my alleged man-crush on Walz, Louisville hasn't impressed me this season.

Maryland would be tough. I just think Baylor is a really bad matchup for Tennessee...

I don’t want to play Louisville very bad. They have the guard play that gives us trouble. Dana Evans would have a pick six of breakaway layups picking our pocket.
