I think you're right. Maryland may have been a bit overconfident. They were a much more talented team, but damn if Texas is not gritty as hell. They are relentless.

I don`t see them beating SC just to much size and no one to keep Saxton or Beal of the glass

 

[SGMVols]

I don’t see anyone beating Stanford.

Tara hasn’t won a title in 30 years. I don’t trust her to go all the way.

Somewhere in Starksville, women's basketball fans are all on suicide alert.

Watching Vic coach this game is a perfect example of how a real coach commands their team. Not like Nikki McCray, who is generally asleep in her chair while her team is imploding on the court.

 

[sisaq]

Texas about to knock off "high flying" Maryland, the team nobody could stop. LOL yeah right. Go Texas!!

If anybody tell me that Texas will beat Marryland I will never believe it. That's why an experienced coach matters.

I think Nikki gets fired in 2 years. State was the most underachieving team in the country this year.

I had Maryland in the national title game in my bracket lol. Should’ve known better than to fade Vic.

 

[Vols4life]

The amount of transfers Vic is about to land is going to be crazy

No one saw them beating Maryland. I thought Texas would get killed on the boards, but they got the job done on hustle.

Never say never. SC's backcourt can get shaky and Saxton sometimes disappears on offense. If Texas can make some 3's early, I see no reason they can't keep this competitive.

 

[PAPI]

Crazy how a first year coach at Texas doesn’t need to go on a 5 year rebuild mission to get to an elite 8....possible final 4.....it’s too bad that we weren’t able to get Vic

If MSST has an encore performance as this year, she should be fired after next season.

And Texas will be even better next year. He's got a killer class coming in.

Nothing against Kellie...she showed improvement in her 2nd year, but she is nowhere close to Vic in terms of coaching acumen.

he's a man. that's a no no for the lady vols.

This...

 

[SGMVols]

Spoiler alert: It ain't Baylor...

You’re probably right. Geno usually wins it all when he has the best player.

 

[ttharp]

Coach Vic showing once again that he can win with the talent/players that he has. They only get better next year, and the run they’re on now doesn’t hurt with future recruiting.

But, but, doesn’t he need to get “his players” in there before they start winning???

 

[creekdipper]

I find it inexcusable that Fulmer hired Kellie without even attempting to talk to Vic. You can’t tell me that if he was willing to leave State for Texas that he wouldn’t have also left State for Tennessee.

You surely are aware that Texas gave Schaeffer a 7-year contract worth just shy of $2 million per season.

 

[PAPI]

Hey! Kellie is trying really hard...

You get what you pay for...Texas wanted to win and they went out and got one of the best coaches in America...we went out and hired a mid-major coach who we wouldn’t have to pay much.

 

[Rooster1]

Texas vs SC.....I am sure Staley will take Texas over Md., it’s not like Vic has a good history vs. Dawn anyway. Say what you want, SC just got a huge help with the Md loss. Spin can start now...

 

[PAPI]

You surely are aware that Texas gave Schaeffer a 7-year contract worth just shy of $2 million per season.

....and they are still dancing and have a great recruiting class coming and we are sitting at home talking about those gritty 4 stars who will lead us to the promised land.

 

[PAPI]

And she has as many national titles as Vic! And for less than half the price!

How many All-Americans has she ever signed? How many Conference Championships has she won? How many regular season championships? How many turnovers per game did we average this year? What round did Tennessee make it to this year? Again, if you are going to be okay with being marginal to save money, you will be happy with the marginal results.

Let's see now. You're the same guy who said this back in in January: "They will get blown out by UCONN! Blown out!"

And then had nothing at all to say after the game when Conn had to pull out the win in the final minute.

You also plugged Walz, Lawson, Schaeffer, basically anybody but Harper. Except you didn't want Moore for some reason despite his experience and success. You indicated that you want a "rockstar coach."

Please explain your intricate plan to force Tennessee to spend almost $2 million per year to hire said "rock star."

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Exactly wat I said after watching S.C team. Dawn is just lucky with great players coming around her.

she won the SEC without a top 25 player, but maybe you're right?

 

[Bballnut1952]

If Texas held Maryland to 61 points, can South Carolina break 50?

 

[Coach Jumper]

if I were a women's coach I would spend an hour a day on layups.
should be able to make those with your eyes closed.

There are 3 different finishes in layups,,,the power layup, the short drive and the full-court full speed layup...all 3 have different mechanics,, yet I see the same finishes in them consistently
