the Lady Vols have moved up to number 10 in the AP poll


Baylor is ranked number 3 in the AP poll


going to be a tuff game for the young Lady Vols,hopefully Griner gets in foul trouble early in the game and stays that way and fouls out lol and the Lady Vols stay out of foul trouble



Go Lady Vols

get em Smokey,that is the Baylor bear

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Any information on Harrison's ankle yet? The way it looked Sunday...not so good for this game or Stanford?

 

[utvolkyle06]

May be sour grapes on my part, but seems like Griner gets a lot of home cooking at home when it comes to fouling and being fouled.

 

[VOLMEB]

If Izzy can't play, we're in a lot of trouble. It's already going to be a difficult task against Griner and the rest of the Lady Bears but we desperately need Izzy to help out in the paint.

 

[governmentmule]

this is all i could find


Harrison did not practice Monday and her status remains uncertain after she suffered a sprained right ankle in Sunday's 94-75 victory over Texas.

"It looks better (Monday) than I had thought it would earlier," Warlick said.



Lady Vols have tall order against Baylor's 6-foot-8 Brittney Griner » GoVolsXtra


looks like Spani will start center if Izzy doesn't play

Go Lady Vols!

Lady Vols 76 Baylor 68

Vols can win this game if she shoot well. The last two or three defeats by Baylor have been marked by absolutely pathetic shooting. You can't beat the no. 1 team in the nation, or any good team at any time, shooting 25 or 28 percent. This Tennessee team shoots better than any I've seen in a few years. It's harder against Baylor because of Griner, so you have to shoot well from 10 to 20 feet, and of course play tough defense. And we should run. This team runs well--big key.

I'm hoping we can feel like underdogs going in so that a bit of the pressure will be off and we will have something to prove.

Go Lady Vols!

Agreed.



Tough game tonight. Get em Lady Vols. national stage.

From the game blog....

Both teams will warm up wearing green and white shirts, the school colors of Sandy Hook Elementary Schools, and the shirts will say "We Will Remember" in honor of those affected by Friday's tragedy. There will also be a moment of silence here at the Ferrell Center before the national anthem.

 

[Slydell]

Massengale, Simmons, Spani, Burdick and Graves to start for UT.

 

[governmentmule]

wohoo just barely got home in time for the game

 

[governmentmule]

no Izzy

 

[Slydell]

 

[Slydell]

no Izzy

Yeah, they said she was on crutches when she entered.

 

[VOLMEB]

Not having Izzy is really going to hurt. We're going to get in early foul trouble.

 

[LocoVol]

Go Lady Vols!

 

[Slydell]

Cold shooting to start.

 

[VOLMEB]

Griner is already taking over. This isn't going to be fun to watch.

 

[LocoVol]

Gonna be a long night if they can't slow BG down no better than that.

 

[governmentmule]

if they settle down and hit a few shots.it will be a good game

 

[LocoVol]

Nothing's gonna be a foul in that gym tonight.

 

[governmentmule]

they look like a deer caught in the headlights

 

[GetEmVols]

Game over already. We always suck against Brian
