How are these not fouls?

I don’t see fouls. Just crazy flops

 

[VolFuture]

Even if Duke wins their style of basketball is infuriating… I couldn’t watch them a whole season

That’s a lot of hands

Duke missed a layup. Go figure

UConn is determined to send me to an early grave this season I stg. We might lose to USC on Monday but I can’t say I’m not happy with the season if it ends in the E8. No moral victories here but this season has been rough and to see them battle through two really difficult games has made me appreciate how freaking hard it is every tournament to maintain success.

Bless you having to watch that in person. You thought Oregon St offense was bad!

like UConn’s efficiency over usc… edwards is the divider. Defense is probably similar to each other.

Thankfully I only saw it on TV. Would you believe I turned to my mom and said in the 2nd half that UConn was opting to play play the Oregon St offensive style?

I do think experience will play a part. Same like what happened to HH with Notre Dame. If some of our freshman can also pick up some buckets (particularly Shade) it will make us a tiny bit more difficult to guard.

Ice got good minutes tn too and held down the D.. that’s very good for the connies

Both of these teams look bad. Now if the problem with Tennessee is recruiting. What is the problem with UCONN? They have injuries but that doesn’t get factored in outside of the RJ injury with Tennessee so lets leave it out of the equation. What is the problem with Duke?
19 points in the 3rd qtr.

UConn is missing 4 players, with 2 of them being starters and the other 2 being their top two reserve players. They are playing with a bench of 2 players at the moment + their own version of Edie Darby should they be desperate. And they are still in the E8 with a good shot at the FF and possibly beyond (I think they can beat Iowa, but no chance vs. LSU).

 

[Amb3096]

Dukes prob is Kara Lawson, like others fm the PS coaching tree, is a very poor offensive coach.

That offense was so painful to watch. All of the missed layups...

They def got lucky with Duke over OSU…

Also playing at home ofc is huge in first rounds the Cuse gave them everything would’ve been a great neutral floor game

I think OSU would have repeated their win from last year. This is a worse UConn team than the one they beat last year (due to the missing players).

I've been saying for years (even when Tennessee was routinely hosting) that they should go to full neutral sites. They tried that before, and it was a major bust because they quickly learned that most fanbases won't travel to see their team play and are generally uninterested in watching games not involving their team. Sadly, as evidenced by some of the empty stadiums for the host teams, not much has changed. I don't think that WCBB is ready for neutral sites.

I don't think they'll ever be ready for neutral sites. No offense to the game or to those who take part in it. It's just a sport where attendance is far more dependent on success and quality of play, and that's just for home games on the schedule, to say nothing of NCAA tournament games.

Now, Tennessee circa 2000-2010, they would probably have traveled. UConn during the same and later would have traveled. South Carolina in the current era would probably travel a good bit, too. But it took 25 years of Pat and her 31 wins per year average to build the sort of traveling fans Tennessee had. Man. 31 wins a year. Dang. Anyway.

 

[Coach Jumper]

I don’t know if any other generational talent (in WCBB) has felt the pressure to perform as much as CC in her senior season.

wait til next year then.
CC's game is made for NCAA,,,high risk with limited "risk"
The W is gonna be a whole new world
If I am a WNBA GM,, I look at the "game" not the player for this draft
I might take Cardoso #1 but I am def taking Jackson #2,,,her "game" will translate into the WNBA so much better

 

[knoxvol52]

The only Basketball game a "TRUE" Tennessee Volunteer fan should be watching today is the game at 2:20 p.m. Tennessee vs Purdue

Go Vols

 

[JCP201]

Watched Duke for the first time, really-- don't feel she's that much of a step up from Kelly.

She’s a step back in terms of coaching a step ahead in recruiting.

Kara’s offense is disgusting to watch though. No way I want her in Knoxville.

NO MORE FORMER LADY VOLS.

Pat really set the gold standard in building up a fanbase.

That's how Duke's offense usually is if Jackson or Richardson are off.

Not four. Six. (Fudd, El Alfi, Ducharme, Griffin, Patterson and DeBerry)
