LOLCandace
I'm half listening to the game half working but Candace has something like 18 points with 6:00 left in the first.  They cannot stop her.

Holly's been Fulmerized!
From Holly, whom I revere:

[new] ...well, unless

she dislocates her shoulder.  [Heck!]

Go Vols!

Which . . .
. . . is really not good news. I'm cooking and watching kids. What happened?
Go Vols!

Close game
In a nutshell, Parker had her shoulder dislocated in the 1st half, then a second time just as the half was about to end.  She's in a shoulder sleeve now, though I don't know if she's in the game yet.

by David Hooper on Apr 1, 2008 8:29 PM EDT reply actions  

Parker's back in.
I didn't see the first dislocation, but the second one was from trying to block a pass.

Got the kids in bed now
Watching. Has it been this close the whole way?
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

As far as I know.
I've been on the road and taking care of dinner myself, so I'm not sure.  But I think it has.  Neither team is exactly an offensive giant tonight.

But UT is a completely different team with Parker in.

by David Hooper on Apr 1, 2008 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Hmm
How can you play with your shoulder partially immobilized? You'd think the other team would just play her other hand.
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2008 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sounds like fouls are the goal.
Two shots from the line are harder with a bad shoulder than one shot from a foot away.

by David Hooper on Apr 1, 2008 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wow - Parker is tough
They're hammering her over and over, but she's gutting this out. Incredible performance.

by jebushchrist on Apr 1, 2008 8:51 PM EDT reply actions  

No doubt
Fulmer could use her on the offensive line.
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2008 8:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Wow
Huge shot. Huge.
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2008 8:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Hornbuckle saw the shotclock
and saw Summitt's face in the clock.  She had no choice but to make the shot.

by David Hooper on Apr 1, 2008 8:56 PM EDT reply actions  

Defense and rebounds
Women's, men's, doesn't matter.
Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2008 9:00 PM EDT reply actions  

Great win
Nice comeback. On to the Final Four.
Go Vols!
