Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

[VolBalls33]

LSU played an entire half without being called for a foul? Has that ever happened? 3 total fouls called in a half?

 

[Amb3096]

Auburn 77 MSST 60. I don't understand how MSST fell so far off the cliff. They have a very talented roster.

Pretty sure that HSG from Auburn just sealed a first team All SEC kind of year.

 

[Amb3096]

USC coming back against Arizona, up 2 early in OT.

 

[glv98]

Vandy beat hapless Missouri, kept their tourney hopes alive.

I don't get what's happened to Miss St either. They've really gone into a tail spin.

FLA kept it close but Bama won by 3. This TAM mess of a wrestling team will have to beat Bama Sunday or we're 5th seed.

 

[Amb3096]

SC 98 ARK 61. The two freshmen guards combined for 29 pts, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 5 made 3 pointers. Watkins high scorer with 21 pts 11 rbs. As a team, they shot 61% from the floor...better than the 59% from the FT line

USC escapes with a 95-93 2OT win with JuJu fouled out in the 4th quarter.

LSU bludgeoning UGA 73-48 mid way through the fourth. Morrow with another double double (16 pts 10 rbs 4 stls)

Stanford 35 Ore St 26 at the half. Regan Baers is still out with a broken nose. That was really bad timing for her to get injured, because they were really on a roll when she got hurt.

 

[Amb3096]

LSU wins 80-54. All 5 starters in double figures, led by HVL with 18 pts and 4 triples. Morrow stuffs the stat sheet with 16 pts 10 rbs 5 asst 4 stls 2 blocks. Angel with a double double.

Bench scores 4 points...

I have no idea how they are going to play 3 games in 3 days and still have legs. I can see them getting absolutely bludgeoned by SC in the final.

If they even make the final.

If they even make the final.

They're peaking at the right time. They'll win their first game easily, semi (let's assume Ole Miss) could be tough. Legs will be spent by the final.

The tournament obviously favors SC because of the double bye and their depth that will allow the starters to be fresh for the big moments of whichever game they need them.

Looking forward to an Ole Miss/LSU semi final. That should be a good one.

Not a good list but people making this list probably aren't even women basketball fans.

Crème, Voepel and Philippou don’t keep up with women’s basketball?

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Looks like LSU has the easiest route to a Final Four in the new bracketology, Chattanooga, then Baylor, then Virginia Tech, then Ohio State or Ole Miss.

TN starts against Iowa State, then UCLA….

Do people still want Sam Purcell now? A real coach who’s coming into his prime.

That won’t be final brackets

LSU is a #3 seed vs. Tenn as a #8, so it makes sense that they'd have a much easier route to the S16. Baylor in the 2nd round is a tough matchup, but helps that they are home.

Iowa State vs. Tennessee would actually be a really good game if that were to happen. And OSU is no joke. HVL will be seeing stars with the defensive pressure they dump on her.

With all the upsets of ranked teams we had this year, more teams look good in bracketology. Maybe TN can make it to a 7 seed.

It won’t end up being close to what he projects at all.

And we are still going to be fortunate to be a 10 seed. #1 sos or not. You have to win some of those games for that to help you. All our SOS proved this season is we aren’t even close to the top teams in WCBB.

 

[Amb3096]

What they have going against them is that they didn't win any big games, and more often than not lost to teams that were close to them in talent (Ole Miss, Alabama, TAMU w Rogers). There's literally nothing to elevate them, except for being (I think) the first team to lead SC at the half before they lost to double digits (a feat that Georgia accomplished the very next game, except they led by even more and lost by a greater margin).

To get a #7, they would need to beat SC...either Sunday or in the SECT.

WC is going to be all confused. Tennessee didn't sell out against us and when I pointed out they only had 11,000 and I was surprised it wasn't a sellout, WC said it would be a sell out if 11,000 attended the game at our arena. Now WC will see what our 18,000-sellout crowd (5th this season) is all about. I really don't think WC knows much about WBB.

@superfly, WC was last seen on a milk carton…..

WC is not going to be confused, he's already there. But, let's be frank. He was a troll, pure and simple. His posts were designed to draw emotionally charged responses. Which they did. They were often filled with inaccuracies that accomplished their goal of eliciting outrage.
And this is only a women's basketball forum !
For what purpose was all this foolishness ?
The waste is just all so sad.

Possibly. But that's difficult to determine with certainty.

I thought WC was a hoot!! Real or not the unrelenting boosterism really drove the negas and our guests nuts. We have posters on here who dog Kellie and the team every dang day. I enjoyed the extreme opposite for a change.

I put the two, unrelenting (and unrealistic) boosterism and the negas on almost the same level. A waste of human potential.
