[mudcat1973]

rae 4 tess 3 sara 1 jordon's 1 each. rae night but for you all tess on tess will sit more bandwagon. more three shooters easy to get good looks. opens paint up for jump shoots. worst offence every not so fast. kelly working on being two time coach of the year.

Thinking about how Sara Puckett had some important buckets today. Two post-up baskets against Rhyne and some 3’s. Should be huge for her confidence after some tough early SEC games.

Rae found her rhythm which I’d hoped. I loved seeing her, Darby, and Puckett in at the same time. Walker had a good drive in the 4Q that was an and-one. Hoping this bye week serves her well. We really need her.

I would like more info.

I want ten million dollars, but it's not currently available.

I do, however, have access to the ignore button...an opportunity which I immediately plan to take full advantage of.

Would love to see the Lady Vols achieve a #1 ranking again

I posted a reactionary comment shortly after Sara fumbled a pass, but she came back and played great today!

You answered nothing. How long she out. If you can’t answer that then you didn’t answer my question. Otherwise you’re a fan.

Why would you think anyone on here would know how long “she out”?

 

[Putbacks]

For the time being…..let’s pause….

We got a bit of ways to go before that. We’re gonna have to defeat South Carolina and continue winning all of our games for that.

 

[Hooper22]

That was a hell of a win. Rae looked awesome. This team can def get back to the final four and I’ve not felt that way about a team since 2010-2011.

 

[Aladywhovolunteer]

rae 4 for 4 three land! she post game rae i feel i'm back!

To add to what Mudcat said...(pharaphtased) Burrell said "I love these ladies on this team. We are playing for each other. " That is powerful senior leadership from Rae.

Amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets the credit. GLV

No sense of humor

Not funny if you are older than nine.

Some highlight:

1.Lots of quick hands on defense.
2. Rae's long-range bombing draws defense, and Rae promptly finds an open Tess for a 3.
3. Dye crashing the boards for stickbacks and dishing out assists.
4. Keyen muscling up shots, finishing, and drawing fouls.
5. Excellent team FT shooting, including players who have struggled mightily at the line.
6. Jordy not pressing but instead cashing in on what was working.
7. Great energy from the bench.

South Carolina,Louisville, and Stanford have to lose 1 more game for us to leapfrog them

Can't wait

Hopefully one of those losses is to us

 

[glv98]

How many quality players out there - like Dye - would like to come join what CKH is building? In the Mecca of WCBB..

I'm going to say way more than before this season. The winning, the team chemistry, and the obvious player development is exactly what our recruiting needed.

 

[VolBall09]

Lobo just said she “didn’t expect Tennessee to be as good as they are this year.”

She’s getting ready for the L. I’m so ready for it.

Postgame celebration after a 26-point win over No. 19 Kentucky

Here is the postgame celebration from our Lady Vols! Tamari Key was not walking on her ankle, but she was carried in by the coaching staff, and what Kelly told her team, was Pat Summitt type motivation.

Game Highlights

 

[GameTime]

Guys, we are so damn lucky to have each other to enjoy this wonderful team together...Each of us swallowed our hearts when Tamari went down with her ankle injury....We all thrilled together when Rae bombed away from the deep outside to calm the waters, and Tess stuck the dagger in deeper to remind Kentucky you are going to lose baby!

On Pat's day, how fitting two of her former players battled as head coaches, reminding us all that Pat was one hell of a fine woman!

I hope she enjoyed it....
