Travis, I think both sense that there are younger players behind them who have passed them in ability. We are witnessing the beginning of a changing of the guard so to speak. Raven still has exceptional ball handling skills so she will always have a role in games/minutes where ball security is paramount, but Maddy McDaniel is pushing for more PT with her play and it’s putting pressure on Raven. Dawn is at the stage where Hall is a ceremonial starter, but at crunch time Tessa gets the minutes because she is a better shooter and ball handler. Joyce Edwards is coming along fast as well.

This is interesting. I’ve watched some of South Carolina games. Hall and Johnson seem to be playing about as I expected. I think both are valuable players.
McDaniel was ranked #14 and Johnson #25 by ESPN respectively in their classes.
It’s a bit ironic as well to see good young players thriving throughout the Top 50 when certain posters seemed to believe unless you’re ranked inside the Top 10 entering college you’re not elite!

Perfect day* for Strip

12-12 from the floor, 1-1 from three, 2-2 from the line. 27 points, 4 rebs, 2 stl, 1 block.

Nice to see her breakout in what was projected to be a loss for Indiana. Penn State never adjusted and she burned them from the mid-range all day. Merkel didn’t want to come out of the paint and she made her pay.

#7 Maryland down to unranked 5-3 Purdue 29-38 at the half. I expect them to come back and win this one likely. Purdue brought that hot offense of Maryland back down to earth in the first half.

Be hard to do it two more quarters I think.

MTSU about to lose to Belmont by a good margin. Was close until the last couple minutes. Terrible night for Boldyreva. Not great for us, we really needed them to go on and win most of their games for our Net with our weaker schedule this season.

Been a long time since I saw anyone go 12-12 from the floor and also not miss a free throw. I'm so happy for Karoline. She deserved to have a truly magical performance like that. Gosh, I miss seeing her smiling face in Knoxville. I know, though, that we'll be seeing her again at future Lady Vol games and events because she left as a full-fledged, graduated Lady Vol For Life. I'm so happy that the opportunity in Indiana is working out for her. 🧡❤️

Ya know, I had a strange feeling that could happen, particularly if the normally outstanding Boldyreva had an off game. 😕

Our SOS will balloon toward the end of regular season. Top ten is plenty good. That current 70ish sos will be fleeting.

What streaming services are folks watching the game tonight? I've got sling orange with the sports package. Is there any other streaming that may have fox sports for no cost. It sucks if I have to add sling blue for 1 game....

YouTube TV shows the games on Fox Network, not Fox Sports. Check your local channel guide on the Fox Network, it should be on there on Sling.

If not, you could try a free trial of YouTube TV or Fubo.
