Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Really wanted to see that OU/Baylor game.

Watching UCONN/Butler instead but Meghan Culmo’s yankee accent always makes me want to blow up my TV. UConn stomping them as expect but their chemistry still doesn’t look great.

Butler is just at a massive talent deficit and 1-11 on the season.

Auriemma talking about Muhl out loud but all the subtext is about Westbrook.

He’s struggling to pay Westbrook a compliment now that Culmo has asked about her

 

[VolBall09]

“Nika’s defense brings something we don’t have when she’s on the floor.”

Aka

“Evina’s defense is terrible.”

Hemmed and hawed around and said “well Evina is a better scorer so she gives a better punch off the bench than Nika for that.”

True, but we all know Ms Westbrook is definitely not enjoying coming off the bench. This is 100% not how she expected her career to go at UCONN. I suspect Geno views it as one of his greatest blunders but he would never admit such a thing.

Evina moved to the bench, wat happened Ms. Evina?

Evina moved to the bench, wat happened Ms. Evina?

We all knew it was coming. He HATED how their offense looked when she was running it. I could see why too. It was the Evina show and that’s about it.

Too familiar for Lady Vol fans.

Butler looks like a high school team. And not even a very competitive one. UCONN has about 5 seconds to look at the 3 every time they shoot it. The Butler close outs are slooowwwwww.

 

[VolBall09]

OU gets Baylor. Shoots 46% from the field 14-27 for 52% from three. Their offense is for real.

Kim is somewhere cackling at that Baylor defense.

Final score 83-77 looks like Baylor got out coached and out shot down the stretch.

Geez, just how bad of a team is Butler...?

UConn better hope that Juhasz stays another year and that Brady is ready to step in for ONO...because from the stats, it doesn't look like DeBerry is gonna get it done for them. Yeesh, what a statline: 0-7 FG, 0-4 3pt, 0-2 FT. She did have 5 assists though.

I'm sure it felt nice for the UConn fans to have a blowout, but this team clearly has some issues. Oregon and SC are probably licking their lips right now...

I love watching karma play out.

Wonder how long momma is quiet?

 

[VolBall09]

Watching Texas/Kansas. Kansas actually looks a lot like us with 6’6” in the middle. We just made them look small. Texas has struggled with their length. The Texas posts just don’t know what to do when they aren’t the biggest fish in the pond.

Jackson has been big for Kansas. Seems like she picked up some tips playing Tamari earlier in the season.

Harmon is so good and so bad sometimes. Offensively she is a complete player. She’s a total liability on defense a lot of times though. Twice tonight she let a player get behind her for a layup. She’s done that other times this season as well. It’s obviously her responsibility to get back and she’s staring at the ball handler at 3/4 court.

Conference road win!

This Texas/Kansas game was so much like our matchup with Texas. Down to the overtime loss for Texas and everything. They’re having a Jekyll and Hyde season so far. Mostly on defense, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not. Kansas got a lot of open layups tonight.

KU really played tough, I thought they looked like a good team when we played them, so far that’s proving true. Nice to see teams we played going on to do well.

Baylor is now 0-2 at the bottom of the Big 12.

Tennessee's signature win of the season continues to age well...

 

[sisaq]

Geno, "I'm pleased with my team energy". Because they're division 3 team, If it's a good team Geno would've canceled or cried that he lost entire team with injuries.

 

[Volfan2012]

Since we beat both Kansas and Texas either way the game went was a win for us. Somebody had to lose and somebody had to win. We have wins over both teams so no problem. Since Texas beat Stanford on their home court this actually could help us more in the long run.

Even Holly held on better from day one. I’ve been calling this one since Baylor announced their hire. Just no way she can follow a coach like Mulkey.

You can’t claim you’re rebuilding with the team she’s got either. They have plenty of talent, they just aren’t playing defense anymore.
