Listened on the radio....about had a heart attack. Ole Miss was up by 9 with alittle over 3 minutes left in the game. The Lady Vols battled back and won it with 5 seconds left on a Angie B 3 pointer. Congrats Lady Vols.

The Lady Vols badly need Baugh--who could be an excellent player if her knee heals properly. Center Cain is also needed--but she is an injury with two legs; has suffered all kinds of physical problems in a year and a half and I doubt she'll ever play a lot. The Lady Vols have guard problems and the usual offensive woes--a miracle that they won tonight, but Bjorklund came through with three huge baskets in the last two minutes. PS needs to find a good point guard, get the bigs healthy--a transition year.

I think that says it all about this team (and the men as well). We were outplayed.

Was watching the local news here in Memphis and there was a video shot of coach Summit talking to a crying Rebel player. Anybody got any info on that?

Tennessee head coach talks to Mississippi player Kayla Melson after the game.

 

[trbonevol]

Ole Miss played very well and had a 9 point lead with under 5 minutes in the game. Summitt told their coach if they play like that every night they are going to have a lot of SEC wins.

 

[Titans4Vols]

Coach Summit doesn't just respect her team, she respects all of the NCAAWBB teams. She's a very caring coach, as shown by that picture.

The next game against Oklahoma would be AMAZING if they still had Candace.
