Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

[Rooster1]

Maybe the worst overall talent in this league since I can even remember, so many bad teams.

Hey Teonni, orange is calling come on down

Yes! Would love to see Teonni come to TN, and TK return for a final season if she’s healthy.

I don't follow UNC close enough to know what's going on with Teonni - whether it's inexperience or she's still working through injury, or both - but she has been mostly a nonfactor in her delayed rookie season. Frankly, I thought she would be having more of an impact at this point, and it's one of the reasons the Tar Heels are struggling now IMO...

My Lord SC destroyed Auburn tonight. They supposedly had a good defense and stayed within 15 of Indiana earlier this year. Lost by 50 tonight.

Auburn is 9-0 against NET Quadrant 3 & 4 opponents, but is 0-3 versus Quad 1 opponents, and 1-5 against Quad 1+2 opponents. They are already 0-3 in SEC play, and most likely will have a pretty rough conference record this season. But again, they were without Scott-Grayson tonight, and Coulibaly led her team with 16 pts, but had to go 7-21 to do it. South Carolina's depth in the paint was just too much for the Tigers: their post trio of Texas transfer 6-5 Precious Johnson, 6-5 Akinbolawa, and 6-3 Levy were a combined 0-8 in a combined 51 minutes, for 2 pts, 5 rebounds, and 9 fouls. By comparison Boston, Saxton, Cardoso, and Feagin were a combined 19-24 in 70 minutes, for 48 pts, 22 rebounds, and 5 fouls. And the Gamecocks' young PG tandem of Fletcher and Johnson combined for 12 assists and 1 turnover.......

LSU starts the game 2 for 13 and A&M 2 for 12 it is tied 4 to 4.

We want that LSU team!!

 

[VolBalls33]

I agree the SEC is maybe as bad as I can remember. SC and LSU are top 5 if you ask me. UT is top 20 with Ole Miss and Arkansas fringe top 25 teams. Miss State, Missouri, Georgia and Alabama might make the tourney. The other 5 teams are trash.

Nice report! Thank you !

I can understand 26 points but 28 rebounds?? What in the world is going on with Auburn?

 

[LurkerExposed]

Texas A&M is walking wounded team right now - they have a 7-man roster right now to play with, essentially - the 7th only played 7 minutes tonight. South Carolina overwhelmed them with their huge roster, and it looks like LSU has done the same tonight.....


Still, LSU only shot 38% tonight. Minus Reese, they shot 15-45 (.333)....

They have apparently put the heebie-jeebies on Texas A&M, I guess.......

 

[VolBalls33]

LSU is #2 in the NET and Ohio State is #9. How does that make sense? 16 0 Ohio State with a SOS of 81 and has 6 Q1 wins. LSU is 15 0 with a SOS of 192 and 2 Q1 wins. LSU is 34 in the RPI.

They shot 34% and had 20 turnovers against a ranked Arkansas team on the road, and won by 24 points...

I’ve watched most of their games. She is not aggressive at all (sound familiar?) and she is not some highly skilled offensive or defensive player at this stage. I’m sure the potential is there, but she does not stand out at all when she is on the court and tbh she could use an infusion of physicality.

Emily Saunders with 18 points tonight for Youngstown State.

Emily finished with 18 points on 9-for-12 shooting, and she played less than 12 minutes.

Go Emily!

Aliyah Edwards, arguably UConn‘s best player this year, hurt her ankle and missed the whole second half. No report yet if it’s serious or not.

 

[VolBall09]

Going to suffer through Ole Miss and Vandy to scout Vanderbilt a bit. Haven’t watched them in a few weeks.

Probably be about 40 minutes of Coach Yo footage.

Will post my thoughts later for those who are not interested.

Pac 12 in action today with a few games. Would love to see Colorado upset Utah. Probably won't happen but helps us if they do.

They have a shot, should be a really great matchup, watching that one for sure. Pili and Miller should be a fun head to head.

She coming off a ACL injury still not 100% yet

He doesn’t care about that. Just looking for a reason to trash her since someone said something positive about her.

If anyone can shutdown Angel Reese, LSU will struggle.

Well that would certainly look to be SC for one for sure. I think Key could've contained her as well and that is where were missing her most. She would've made Carter's life a lot tougher last night. Not many SEC teams with a quality big after SC and Miss St only LSU. Hollingshead is playing a lot better she is basically a freshman for the most part after not playing that much at Georgia last season.

I will say this Auburn has some talented players from what i saw, Coulibaly, Wells, Levy all have good talent but just having problems making shots.
