Well, Thursday settled the regular season conference championship. Thanks to Tennessee's narrow overtime loss to Arkansas, Kentucky surged one game clear with two games that matter: this game, and Kentucky on the road at 4-11 Mississippi State. Not to put too fine a point on it, but not a whole lot rides on this game; the odds of Kentucky losing at Starkville are slim, as we saw in the desultory performance Tennessee put in when they went there. That game tips at 1:30, so Tennessee will know before (or right at) tip if there's anything to play for. (Hint: there won't be.)
That's probably for the best, as it allows the Lady Vols two things: the ability to play this game relaxed (since there's next to nothing riding on it), and focusing on the seniors. This senior class is one of the more interesting ones in recent Lady Vol history - the reasons why are worthy of further discussion than just here - and for all their struggles and flaws (and this team is flawed, but so are most), there are some unique talents that deserve accolades. They'll get them today.
| Position | Name | Experience | Height | PPG | RPG | APG | |
|
PG | Brianna Bass | Sr | 5-2 | 2.3 | 0.6 | 0.7 |
| F | Glory Johnson | Sr | 6-3 | 13.3 | 9.3 | 1.2 | |
| F | Vicki Baugh | Sr | 6-4 | 7.7 | 6.6 | 1.2 | |
| G-F | Shekinna Stricklen | Sr | 6-2 | 15.3 | 6.6 | 1.8 | |
| F | Alicia Manning | Sr | 6-1 | 3.8 | 3.9 | 1.4 | |
|
F | Jennifer George | Jr | 6-0 | 12.9 | 8.9 | 1.1 |
| G | Jordan Jones | Sr | 5-9 | 11.4 | 3.8 | 1.9 | |
| PG | Lanita Bartley | Sr | 5-6 | 9.0 | 5.2 | 3.1 | |
| G | Jaterra Bonds | So | 5-7 | 8.6 | 2.3 | 2.5 | |
| C | Azania Stewart | Sr | 6-4 | 5.9 | 4.4 | 1.1 |
Florida in general has a faint whiff of disappointment to their season; their best win is likely a road win at Nikki Caldwell's LSU squad (got to do better than that when you get to Knoxville, Nikki, but I understand), but that's paired with some bizarre losses (73-78 at Pacific, and a 44-49 home loss to South Carolina I'm glad I didn't watch), They're just below the middle of the SEC pack, but they won't fall below 8th in-conference; the 9th-12th squads are just ...well, bad.
The Lady Vol lineup looks a little bit different than most Lady Vol lineups, but it's Senior Night. Bass gets her second(!) start of the season, and Baugh gets back in the starting five, but it doesn't matter, at least not in the strictest sense of the word. This lineup is a little weird, but oddly might benefit Stricklen the most, since she basically has to act as shooting guard given the interior towers of power. I don't think this lineup wall be frequent, but given some of the substitution patterns in other games, that's anyone's guess.
This lineup gives Tennessee an absurd height advantage against Florida's likely starting five (just look at the additional length and height differences between the guards and whoever gets to deal with Jordan Jones and Jaterra Bonds). Jones is one of the better and more prolific three-point shooters the Lady Vols have seen, putting up over 6(!) a game at nearly a 35% clip, which means rotation plays are likely.
On the other hand, the matchup I'm looking forward to is Jennifer George against Glory Johnson. It's been a while since they faced each other, but the last time they did, well, this happened: 25 points, 11 boards (and yes, 7 turnovers, but this team is much better at ball-handling than last year's team, most of the time at least), and George fouling out given only 13 minutes of play. (Oh, and Azania Stewart also fouled out in that game, but with 18 minutes of play). I've been calling for Glory to go off at some point in ...well, basically the last few games I've had pregame, but this time I mean it. Honestly.
The hope is that having so little riding on this game - quite frankly, on both ends, as regardless of a win Florida's set up to face either Kentucky or Tennessee in the SEC Tournament on Friday at best - should help the Lady Vols to relax. Failing that, Glory Johnson should be well set up to go off, and if good 'Kinna shows up, the doors will get blown off the place.
Prediction: 87-71. I'd bet on one of those things happening (hint: I'm always betting on Glory), but not both. If both happen, we're all going to be back on the happy ledge again. I could be cheeky and predict BassWatch for the opening tip, but I'm not quite looking to score free points like that.

So now that it's one of Bass's last games, can we just admit she's 4'11"?
Formerly 'snail. You get used to it after a while.
She's clearly not 4'11"
she’s 4’10"

I was worried about that.
Fortunately, Florida really isn’t getting physical on offense. So long as they’re content with threes and pull-up shots, we should be ok.

24-18 on rebounds is workable.
The shooting % doesn’t feel that advantageous, but Florida did go on a dead streak for 5 1/2 minutes at the start of the game. They probably had about 5 or 6 misses in a row during that phase of the game.
by David Hooper on Feb 26, 2012 4:30 PM EST up reply actions
Tennessee gave up a lot of easy/open shots when Florida rotated the ball.
I noticed the same thing when I saw the Lady Vols at Stanford…but figured it was just Stanford.
Switching defenses sounds nice, but once Florida caught on and stayed patient they hurt Tennessee a number of times.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
This is what Arkansas did, too.
Granted, the purpose was different – rotate and take advantage of the switches to get the Massengale / Ricketts matchup they knew they could win – but it’s something they need to be prepared for.
Okay, at this point they just need to switch to zone.

Yep
I thought Arkansas was amazingly well-prepared to take advantage of that.
They forced Tennessee to play from a place of weakness all game and just exploited it all game.
Was surprised to see so little adjustment…

That game was one of the better chess matches I've seen, fwiw.
There were at least four distinct phases of that game – Tennessee man-switch early, Tennessee zone, man-switch but with Glory on Ricketts, and then Arkansas’s response to that third phase. That was a fantastically coached game on Arkansas’ part.

I think they all came out pumped up, but she looked like the only one who was able to consistently channel it into something productive.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
Glory's the best at this on the team by far.
In some ways, that’s the problem with this squad – Glory’s the emotional leader, but Stricklen’s the most talented player. Who gets the ball in crunch time? Who’s the alpha?

Not counting Kentucky at 24 wins.
and if we choose to lose to UF
the SEC will have 8 in the NCAA

I agree with the commentator that Simmons shouldn't be allowed open for a three...
But same time, Tenn didn’t need a three on a fast break there anyway…Simmons could’ve stepped in.
Poorly played both ways.
Twitter: @NateP_SBN.
I can see the logic in it.
They’ve kept Florida mostly at arm’s length this game; a couple of threes basically ices the game, and this team never really developed the killer instinct (possibly related to Stricklen being the team leader? postulating there, but Glory has the killer gene, Stricklen doesn’t).

It's been good to see coverage from other sites, too.
Much as I hate to admit it, Kentucky’s emergence (and South Carolina’s, which surprises me) is good for the conference overall. This is one of the stronger years in the SEC – certainly moreso than last year, especially in the middle – and more coverage should help to elevate the product.

Right, and I guess that's okay on the lower seed lines.
I just hadn’t thought of it that way. Then again, the Lady Vols have also lost two games in part to a single absurd three (that Mathies rainbow, wing, and prayer in Lexington, and the Watkins Shaq-free-throw-from-22-feet), but they’re still losses.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE SHE DOES
Okay, so you might be the tiebreaking vote here, since I’m clearly in the tank for Glory and aurabass is for Manning.

Although if Nate has comments, I'd love to hear them too.
Really, Glory’s job of putting the Gator interior in foul trouble with no help from Baugh at all is what does it for me.

Yeah, but I just don't feel like parsing this one.

Agreed.
We really need to work on developing better metrics from game data to help show Glory’s dominance figure these things out.

team efficiency
Team Efficiency with a particular player playing, and with them on the bench. in theory (not exactly perfect) that should give a metric to show the impact of that specific player (?).
or maybe something akin to DVOA used in football
It's Great! To be! A Tennessee Vol!
But Highlander!
…..fine.
