There it is!
Better late than never, I guess.

C-N has no chance against Cain in the middle.
Wow.

The full-court press is working very, very nicely.
Looks like Bruceball out there.

10:32 left in the first half.
33-5 Tennessee. No, there’s no tens digit missing from Carson-Newman’s score there.
This team is working pretty hard, especially defensively. Granted, C-N is outmatched, but it’s nice to see the effort.

Also give Mickey Dearstone credit.
He knows all the names on both teams. No stumbles. No mispronunciations.

Neyland Stadium-It goes to eleven.

This is a straight-up mismatch.
I know it’s an exhibition and all, but is there anything we can learn from this?
Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs

Press, press, more press.
Summitt really had them working the full court today.

They're rough on fast breaks.
Several passes were Stafford specials into the cheerleaders.

Cain is a beast.
She actually looks a lot more agile this year. Had some pretty sweet moves.

Thanks for the LV love, gents!

We'll be here all year!
Can’t guarantee a thread for everygame. (SBN isn’t yet set up for easy game threads for the ladies, but we’re hoping.) We’ll do what we can, though.

Tennessee Fans: We win at teh Internet!

Yeah.
124-34, if I caught the score right.
by Hooper on Nov 5, 2009 9:12 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, pretty much.
C-N couldn’t handle the full-court press, and Summitt didn’t seem to be of a mind to give the Lady Vols a break.

I should also add that a lot of their points came off threes.
C-N couldn’t do anything in the interior. That was the mismatch part speaking, though; Tennessee was just too big and long (and, honestly, fast).
