Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Shocked at home Strack was totally neutralized against Texas. They have the size to match up with Kentucky and she couldn’t handle them at all. Was in foul trouble most of the night. Jones and Oldacre have both been playing incredibly well in the post. Oldacre truly looks like a different player compared to Miami. Texas has been a great place for her, so much more fit and her game has grown leaps and bounds in the post.

Okot for Mississippi St is a dangerous down low post presence.

 

[Vols2015]

Keep it up ST!

 

[VolBalls33]

What was the last possession for Miss State? Terrible execution.

 

[lvocd]

Damn. Mississippi State apparently decided they didn't want to win this game. That really was an awful final possession. It kinda ticks me off.

 

[Vols2015]

Heading to double OT. One has to think State can pull it off since Pierre is out.

 

[VolBalls33]

Miss State again terrible execution out of a TO. Just throwing it away.

 

[brittannica]

Miss St has eaten up Vandy in the paint

 

[lvocd]

It'll take some doing for MS to blow this game now, up 8 points with a minute left.

 

[lvocd]

Whew! Thanks for the help, State!

 

[Vols2015]

ST wins 85-77 at Vandy.

ST wins 85-77 at

 

[Vols2015]

Triple ot I believe.

Only double.

Does the Miss State win help us at all?

Does the Miss State win help us at all?

Yes. Vandy will lose to SC and if we win out that means we end up with a better record.

Does the Miss State win help us at all?

Depending on if we keep winning and if they lose any more games, I guess. Tonight we are both 5-6 in conference play, so one of us will play ourselves out of the current tie. MsState is now 5-7 in conference. Ole Miss is 8-4, and Kentucky is 8-3.

Juju is the Queen of LA, but Betts will be back to challenge for the throne. A performance like this shows what a generational player looks like, someone that does it on both ends of the floor unlike any other Big Ten player has done in recent memory

It's not out of the realm of possibility that Auburn could beat them. It's a home game for the Tigers.

 

[lvocd]

JuJu has serious bunnage.

Congrats to her and USC! That's gotta be a huge weight lifted off of both teams to have that game out of the way after so much hype.

They play again in a couple of weeks and probably a third time in a tourney, but that one is yet to be determined.

What we needed to this point. Got all of what we needed tonight. Still a long way to go.

South Carolina losses by 10 on Sunday.

Okot for Mississippi St is a dangerous down low post presence.

She is all business, I thought she was going to hurt us much worse when we played but we did a good job keeping her off the oboards. If you let her get on the offensive glass she is automatic, great finisher. Doesn’t get fancy with things, just puts it right back up and in and keeps the ball high.

 

[Poultrygeist]

Great history! Thanks!
Cousin’s kiddos went there and now a great niece has them on her list to visit!
My take is it is a well respected degree.

The first football game played in South Carolina was in December of 1889 between Furman and Wofford. Wofford won 5-1 as each score counted one point.

She was amazing, but has to do it more than once in a while to be generational and also for her team to be in actual contention. They still don't know how to coach JuJu or build the team around her. No one else even scored for SC in the second and third qt. Depending on JuJu to carry that load very often is not a good plan.
