Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

No, mudcat's a good guy and a die-hardVol fan (one and the same thing!). I agree it's newsworthy but not needing a separate thread.

That sound you hear is all the air coming out of the balloon from Kellie's "big win" Sunday...

That's the best you can come up with? If you're really serious about disparaging Kellie, maybe keep googling for better gifs and memes, since that how you enjoy spending your time.

It will probably make the rest of the team better since they have to learn how to play without relying on her all the time. Some others will probably step up.

I expect that is exactly what will happen unless something gets in the way.

Honestly Liberty is a really good looking ball club! They have lots of size in the middle. Their 6’5” of the bench is great defensively. She’s a SO but a lot like Tamari as a FR. They have given VTech a lot of trouble in the paint. Kitley is worn out.

The Liberty guards are very patient. They get the right shot on most possessions. They play solid defense and their on ball defense is great. They have given VT guards far more problems than we did the other night.

I agree. Keyen came to us from a solid program, for sure -- the type of program that can be dangerous to an overly confident opponent.

To cheapen that is laughable.

She's their straw that stirs their drink, but they got a lot of straws....She'll heal and they will be fine....

Jackassery at the highest (lowest?) level.

Geno is an idiot for still having her on the court at that time.

This was already discussed in non-LV thread we don’t need a separate thread for a UCONN topic here. Get well Paige but this thread should be locked and dismissed

The New USA basketball Coach hopefully this is the end of college coaches being head coaches on Team USA and using it as a recruiting tool

This will be Tina Thompson’s last season at UVA. Got to be. They are very likely to go 0fer in the ACC and won’t have COVID to use as an excuse to bail. You’d think after taking most of last season off she would have a better system in place. Doesn’t seem they took advantage like Duke did.

I’ve been wondering lately how Dawn Staley feels about her alma mater’s program dipping so far. We thought Tennessee fell pretty low. Virginia said, “Hold my beer.”

I really hate it for the Cavaliers.

She should go back to her alma mater and revive them

Looks like were getting a lot of transfer looking to start at a new school in January semester. Been a lot of action for the portal in this last week.

They need to thank Candace

Great players don’t automatically translate to great coaches.

Agree, they should be hiring from the WNBA ranks from now on. Coaching pros is a very different experience than coaching college kids.

Dropping like flies another blow to a team that can’t afford it

 

[Rooster1]

Geeze louise, injuries are mounting in WBB. Another Uconn guard out with foot injury.
Nika Mühl out "probably three weeks" with foot injury


edit: didn't mean to simutaneously post same as WBK....

All the players should be professionals. Apples to apples. If international teams can use their pros, the USA should reciprocate.

Dang! Auriemma is definitely going to have to work hard to earn his paycheck for the next few weeks. But what an opportunity for some of the other players!

I have a feeling Fudd will be back very soon. But hopefully not TOO soon for her own good. Like I’ve said before, if she fibbed to trainers to say she was pain free, it wouldn’t be the first time a highly competitive player did that, and I totally get it when I put myself in her shoes.

Anyway, this is just way too much horrible luck to happen to any team in such quick succession, even a bitter rival. Jeez. : /

 

[lvocd]

I just read Voepel’s piece, and Auriemma was unusually graceful in how he’s addressing the situation about injuries. Good on ‘im!

I wish them all well soon.. This situation is when u can tell wat a great coach can do, just like Kellie managing hers after 2 starters went down.

 

[glv98]

Well he can pull on the big coach panties now and show us if he has the magic one more time. It can be done, ask KJH, but truthfully alot of stars have to line up right to overcome multiple major injuries. Of course boo hoo for him and his 49 other 5 stars begging for a chance. So Fudd wanted more minutes? Here you go.

Geno hasn't seemed to me to be having a good time for several seasons now. Just seems like a grumpy old man, almost pissed off to have to be there. I'm interested to see if he's up for the challenge. Premature to call the decline of the Geno Era?
