Lady Vols vs. Lady Commodores at 9 PM: Live Game Thread

Faster pace, too; Vanderbilt looks pretty decent.

Lady Vol interior defenders just completely redirected two shots without getting a block on either; one was a pretty rough airball and the second was this weird shotput looking thing that didn’t go anywhere.

Tennessee is playing at Vandy’s pace (and not getting any luck on shots right now), and Vandy’s been able to take advantage to tie it at 12. They’re on an 0-6 run where they easily could’ve / should’ve made three of them.

They’ve picked up all the luck and rolls Tennessee hasn’t gotten.

Vandy’s gotten out to a bit of a lead; we’re fortunate that the Lady Vols are only down 7 at the under-4.

Stormed back to tie at 28 at the half. I’ll take it.

Tennessee went stone-cold after the first few minutes – 5-23 after a 6-7 opening flurry. Don’t chalk it all up to good defense, though, as for a while there Tennessee was just missing easy shots over and over again – rim outs and getting no love from the back of the rim while Vanderbilt got some strange bounces.

Play of the half went to one of the Vandy guards who got fouled on a breakaway but somehow managed to turn around, chuck it against the boards, and have it go in. Vanderbilt’s also shooting 50% from behind the arc (but 1-4 since hitting their first two).

Tennessee’s frontcourt is in a bit of foul trouble, which I don’t entirely understand (I think it’s just a series of bad fouls); Cain has done well against anyone defending her so I’m not too concerned about that but nobody else has done anything on the inside.

Looks like fouls came in bunches. And what happened for the matching technicals?

Two blocks on the same possession.

What madness is this?

Only reason the Lady Vols are in this.

Too many players with three fouls, especially our interior players (Glory, Brewer, Manning all with three).

They can’t stop her.

She can only go up, which I’m excited about.

You’ll know it when you see it.

This is not going well. Hopefully the men do better.

Hmm. . . we’ll see how this works out.

I think that might’ve been the first one all game.

Also, props for finally saying man-to-man, color commentator.

Y’all will know it when you see it.

Here they come, and they’re coming n a hurry.

Just sayin’.

looked good to me

(deserving of the all-caps there)

and set it on fire

7-2 sounds good.

Having both teams in color jerseys. DID YOU HEAR THAT, ALABAMA???

could you understand why Pat looks so dang mad being up 10 with 44 left.

Of note: they owned:
- the last three minutes of the first half
- the last six minutes of the second half

That’s not bad, right?

And they slid right on in for the (assumed) win.

Let’s hope the men get another one here tomorrow!

No need to try to score there.

I keep waiting for violence to erupt

Sounds kinda like the football team…

We’re not leavin’ here without a win.

Nice, Summitt.

That win just keeps getting better and better.

If so (or anybody who saw the first), give me an ultra-quick recap of it. A couple sentences.
