Secret 🤫 Scrimmage

Where's the frenzy? I would like to read some of it but I can't find much of anything on the scrimmage.

LadyVolFan1979 · 2025-10-20T01:42:33-0400

FYI UNC did not utilize any starters. This leads me to believe the game's outcome might not be a reliable indicator of the Lady Vols current form and standing. But the LadyVols did win by 25+ over 3 quarters and they played 1 quarter of half court ball in which the LadyVols won as well

Hmm. What's the point of getting a scrimmage scheduled with a premier team in the country and not actually play your A team at all?

So we win by 25 and they comeback and win by exactly 25 in the halfcourt. I guess it happened but wow getting the exact same number of points that you win by twice back to back is totally amazing wouldn't happen very often.

Lucky for us we don't have any half court games scheduled.

A 50 point turnaround, amazing.

What was the point of the scrimmage if NC didn't want to play their starters. Are they just helping the Lady Vols? Seems quite dumb not to play the players your going to depend on in the regular season or evidently they do not need to get better. Lot of odd information coming out of this scrimmage for sure.

This is what my sources informed to me as well...and from what I understand there was no prior agreement to a partial game format.

It seems strange that the Lady Vols would want to travel for such a scrimmage. Seems a waste for them, and also for UNC.

I am told they were given the format by unc once they got there and did not know beforehand that it would not be a full scrimmage... Nor did they know beforehand that they would not be playing starters initially.

Coach banghart has followed me for several years... I just DMed her,,, "really?"...

I saw a clip from practice with Jersey and Mia from Tennessee on the court… and Brooks for UNC.
If UNC doesn’t consider Brooks a starter with what they have on that roster it’s saying a lot.

Was the clip from the start of this scrimmage?...starter?

KnoxLikeUs · 2025-10-20T10:07:52-0400

Not sure, it wasn’t playing in motion… could’ve been a still shot but either way Mia was way ahead of Brooks looks like they were getting ran out the gym.
UNC fans did the same thing last preseason after they got beat. Claim no starters played. Heck I don’t even care to be honest just glad our players and coaches did it the right way and got out of that place with no setbacks.
That’s a clown move by a P5 school to do this crap or leak out false information either way.

Terrells Bay88 · 2025-10-20T11:00:22-0400

In previous seasons when UNC lost scrimmages to South Carolina and UCLA video clips leaked and UNC had starters on the court. I don't think UNC has never won a scrimmage under Banghart. This whole "not playing her starters" tactic is just her trying to save face. Banghart is either lying or she did actually have bench players on the court in order to use that an excuse for losing. She's a coach that has a "playing not lose" mentality.

And where did you get this information?

The majority of this thread perfectly illustrates why coaches would prefer to keep fans out of these things. Fans are crazy, and they often read too much into every little silly thing. It’s what fans do, but it’s still crazy as hell.

We are not that far away from the Carson-Newman game and then everyone can over react to the exhibition game.

It's Columbus State this year! It's weird not seeing Carson-Newman on the schedule.

Coach has good contacts, but I was told that everyone may not have been aware of the plan, but it was not necessarily a “surprise” there was a portion focused on situations, rather than a full end to end quarter. The event was set up by a staff member that recently left the program for a conference-level job, who was a UNC alum. Perhaps some parameters changed after that person‘s departure that were not fully communicated. But again, I was told the head coach was not “surprised.”

UNC held out a couple of players with minor injury concerns, but so did Tennessee. I don’t think it’s completely accurate to say UNC did not play its starters, I think that’s a little bit of spin from their side that has been present in past years, as someone else noted.

Absolutely!!! I am definitely a crazy fan who, when desperate for some basketball, will often let my imagination get the best of me.

So KnoxLikeUs was pretty much right this entire time?

Uhm, no. If you’re going to make this information public, it’s fair game for questions.
