Tennessee Lady Vol News

[Coach Jumper]

Sometimes our style of play feels inefficient but when you start looking around it gets better and better all the time.

Just looking at stats and Spearman and Spencer are both having career seasons so far.

Sam is playing 10 fewer minutes per game than at Arkansas, averaging career bests in Fg% 3pt FG% (48% vs 26% last season is crazy). And 5.5 assists compared to 3.5 last season.

Zee has doubled her production compared to Miami playing only 1 more minute per game.

Ruby is another player having a career best season across the board in fewer minutes.

Jewel is the player I think is really going to come alive as the season progresses and her leg gets better. She’s generally a better shooter than she has been and that started to show up again this last week. If she his around 40% from three in SEC play is going to be lights out for most teams.

Excellent development by the staff. I am so excited to see what the 2025 class does with their time on rocky top. They’re coming in more skilled and are going to get even better.

the emergence of Tess has stunned me most
in season's past my heart dropped when she was put in, since she was a def defense liability

But this year she is not only "not a liability",,,she is a presence and shows uncanny hands and anticipations

We moved up to #21 in the NET. Florida State and Iowa still at #25 and #30, so both still Q1 wins. Richmond dropped to #37 so they're a Q2 win for now. MTSU moved up to #57, so they're just barely out of being a Q2 win (need to be between #26-55 for a Q2 home win).

Appreciate the info. You know, I even tried to check and make sure before posting and couldn't find anything on the NCAA.com site. Didn't think to check .org site.

The program record for most 100-point games in a season is seven in 1987-88.

In the days of Tonya Edward's, Bridget Gordon and Night Train Daedra Charles. Those were some talented women right there.

If you're a HerHoops subscriber, could you share where we are on the "Opp. Points Per 100 Poss." chart? I would appreciate it.

I don’t believe a word that comes out of that mouth. That’s for sure.

I’ve heard Reese mention Tennessee before since her favorite player is Candace Parker. One thing about Reese, she’s not fake and doesn’t just say anything to please people, and I’ll leave it at that.

Everyone, we are watching the phoenix of LV basketball imo, I’m not sure how long it will take, but I expect big things from this season, especially relative to most’s expectations….

if I was ranking the teams today based upon my strength of conviction for their season, I’d do it like this:

UCLA
SC
ND
USC
Uconn
TX
LV’s
LSU
OK


After that it’s a crap shoot for any team that could rise above and compete with those 9 for the championship.

We’re gonna take a lick or two in Jan/Feb.

I do think we have a team built for March. If we get hot from three in a March tourney run….anything can happen. Anything.

Oh man, watch this LV team tear through Jan in style, they are primed. I think they will also knock off Uconn, and would not surprise me if they knock off a SC or LSU or Texas, they get most of those games at home also. They are real. The WBB world is starting to notice, but they still don’t know what they are looking at.

 

[Rooster1]

I understand why most are being cautious, but no team wants to play them for good reason. The UT AD is smart as a fox. What vision.

Could you imagine if the Lady Vols had Volunteer Club money back then...things would have been a lot different. "Get your money up, Tennessee"
