Tennessee Lady Vols / Mississippi Rebels Open Game Thread

by David Hooper on Jan 29, 2009 6:00 PM EST in Lady Vols Basketball

Tracking the pursuit of 1,000 career wins for Summitt, we keep track of an important home game. Beyond the career milestone, a win here helps UT stay in the chase for the regular season SEC title. (They'll need some help, though, after having lost to a very good Auburn squad.) Back to the game at hand:

Yeah, I missed that.

Shame on me for making the page while the men’s game was going on yesterday. I also messed up on the w/l record for the visitors, but I’m in class and will fix it later.

Good start so far.

6-0 and many more fouls for the Lady Rebels than the Lady Vols.

Shooting is uuuuuuuuuuuuugly.

Oy.

Halftime: 25-22 in favor of the Vols.

Part of their problem is that Glory Johnson picked up two very early fouls and was limited in action. Her inside presence is a huge part of the Vols offense; without Glory, open shots become much more difficult to come by.

4 fouls on Goff.

That’s not good for Ole Miss.

Also, they currently have 13 total team fouls (3 in the second half) with over 18:00 left.

36-34 Lady Vols up

They had a much nicer lead, but are [again] letting the Lady Rebels back into the game. Hope they have another late finish tonight.

Ole Miss is living by the 3.

Their 3-pt percentage is nearly their FG percentage; having made 6 means they’ve added 6 points to their FG tally, which is good for a +4 compared to the VOls (2 3-pointers made).

Right now, that matters. Huge.
