Post game controversy

[volnationnj]

The ND board is up in arms over our team supposedly gathering on the center court ND logo to celebrate the win. They said their coach (McGraw) and a policeman chased our players away.
Did anyone see this ?

I saw at the end that a police office asked them to move so the LV's gathered around the free throw line. I didnt see the ND Coach over there. I saw where the ND team was trying to gather around mid court.

I saw them get scooted off center court by the cop. Seemed like they were spontaneously celebrating in the wrong location on the floor rather than anything malicious. Let McGraw's bench stay salty, they'll survive

What I saw was a gathering at mid court near the sideline and a police lady directing them to move away from the ND team that was also huddling in the same area. Didn't appear to be anything. But, when you get thumped on your own court there is always something to complain about.

It was the scarf that caused them to retreat in a moment of revulsion.

Maybe ND should have played better.

Great win Lady Vols!!

Next time we'll plant a flag.

ND is not capable of playing better! This is the worst ND team in many many years!

Sore losers I didn't see anything that was negative they actually gathered at center court like they do at home for a prayer. As Tennessee gets better watch Muffet cancel the series. Two or three more wins we want see them again.

One small step for WCBB...one giant leap for Ladyvoldom.

Both teams have a long way to go... Too many turnovers by a lot of young players. Both teams will improve steadily as the season goes along. It will be interesting to see how well the coaching staffs preform. For the Vols, it was pointed out that half court offense was lacking. (didn't take an expert to see it, not much organization and execution) We know what McGraw and company can do. It will give us a measuring stick for Coach K and staff to measure too. I hope we don't get too "head up" for this team as the SEC is going to be an even worse mine field than usual this year. I do like the attitude and enthusiasm the lady showed which was much improved over the last couple of years.

They should have had some class and moved out of our way. We earned that respect last night.

 

[mandyleanne]

Doubt they even noticed what part of the court they huddled at, just huddled up and prayed like they always do.

It wasn't like we danced a jig and trod upon their leprechaun.

They got a year to get over it. See them in Knoxville.

They need to prepare to get back on the losing track because next year they ain’t winnin’ in Knoxville.

Busted out laughing!

 

[volroadwarrior]

ND always feels entitled because they are "Notre Dame". To hell with them. We stayed classy and they were trashy.

 

[maxvolfan]

They were about to do their traditional huddle or prayer, not to jump on the logo and celebrate. Once they got word Rennia respectfully guided the rest of the team to the free throw line. No harm or foul.

Maybe change the title of the thread to Post-Game Non-Controversy?

I'm not a Muffet fan, but I don't believe she will cancel the series even if the LVs do start beating them regularly again. Us Blue Hairs can remember when she NEVER beat Pat, and had a string of 15, 20, who knows how many, losses in a row. Her expression after games showed everything she was feeling, none of it good, but she kept playing us. I think she always will, even when we are down. Her home crowd obviously loves the chance to beat UT, as does their message board. That board really hated Pat, over the years called her classless, called our players classless, called our fans classless, blamed game after game on the refs - oh, how nice it would be if we get back to that stratosphere again! But I don't think Muffet will cancel.

Much ado over nothing. The Lady Vols, unlike Notre Dame, have had very few moments of the type of pure exhilaration in recent years that make you temporarily forget your manners. I'm sure Kellie will work with them on the proper place to take their jubilation huddle while on the road in the future.

I hope Notre Dame fans don't blow this out of proportion. They HAVE to know that the Lady Vols aren't known for being rude bullies, and were simply so over-the-moon happy that they'd beaten a RESPECTED program that recently won a national championship that they lost their minds and celebrated on ND's gathering spot. I am 100% positive they didn't do that to disrespect them.

Great idea for a confidence booster and intimidation factor.

"What are they doing?"

"Oh, just showing where they're goung to celebrate after they beat us."
