Nothing fancy tonight -- it's just the Lady Vols against North Carolina. Always give us trouble, them Tarheels.

Let's Roll, Ladies!

Game on...no points scored yet, but UNC is beating us on the boards which seems odd. Both teams seem tight, missing shots early.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:30 PM EDT reply actions

Missing equipment?

Do the referees have whistles?

Just wondering.

Go Vols!

Bobbitt-Lata

I'm thinking that this match-up may result in a chick fight before the night's done! These two are at eachothers throats just a few minutes in! Awesome.

4-0, UT.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:37 PM EDT reply actions

0-fer

UNC is now 0-13 from the field, just over 5 mins in. Bad part is that they're only down 5.

UT's FG% isn't much better.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:41 PM EDT reply actions

nevermind

1-14 now. 3 pt defecit.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Pace

On pace to score 28 points by the end of the game.

Defense, defense, defense. And selective whistles.

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 9:48 PM EDT reply actions

Exciting

8 mins in...13 pts...combined! Emotions are running high, still, for both teams.

Refs are being consistently inconsistent. Allowing for rough play, but then turning around and calling cheapy ticky-tack fouls. Parker has 2, as does Latta.

FG% is still awful for both teams.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:49 PM EDT reply actions

More fouls

Anoskie also has picked up 2. Early foul trouble for the Lady Vols.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions

Finally

Some offense for the Vols.

And with Parker on the bench. Good news. Is Latta on the bench the difference?

Go Vols!

Howdy

Hey Joel, I finally scrolled up to see if anybody else was on board!

When is RTT going to get the "upgrades" and all to eliminate the need to refresh and such?

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:07 PM EDT reply actions

Good question

Peter doesn't even know. Up to the tech gurus and the higher ups, I guess. But I'm being a squeaky wheel, so hopefully, it'll be soon.

Wow. That North Carolina coach is from Appalachia, ain't she?

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions

What a wierd game. 22-21, Lady Vols at the half. Lots of TOs, lots of missed buckets, few FTs. Bobbitt is still looking to fight somebody--anybody--including the referees and the UNC beast of a center.

Things need to improve the 2nd half.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:18 PM EDT reply actions

Rutgers?!

Assuming we win, do we really want to play Rutgers? I didn't catch the earlier game, but the state university of New Joisey laid a total smackdown of the Lady Tigers of LSU. If I saw correctly, LSU only mustered 36 points on the game. Granted, this game could be looking at the first to 36 will win!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:27 PM EDT reply actions

wow

What is it with UT un-motivation in the 2nd half. 4 mins in, it's been all UNC...mostly their D. Nasty.

Missed layups, out rebounded, out hustled, oh...and also horrid officiating.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:44 PM EDT reply actions

12-0 run by UNC

Uhh, yeah. UNC is up 6...33-27.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:47 PM EDT reply actions

17-2 run now

Here's a word that we've used a lot on this site in the last few months...discombobulated. That's what our ladies look like now.

The defecit is now 9, with 12:30 remaining. Can't panic yet.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions

Latta scares me

She looks like she just murdered someone.

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 11:02 PM EDT reply actions

You're not the only one

I see a few others on the court that seem to think the same thing.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Eeks

Loss of words. We just stink tonight.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:03 PM EDT reply actions

Go Low

Time to take it to the paint. Trailing by 8, with 5 to go. We're now in the bonus and MUST make the FTs!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:11 PM EDT reply actions

UNC FOULS

Little and Pringle are both out! Keep it up ladies!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:14 PM EDT reply actions

Turning it into a game?!

Why the drama? I really don't want excitement or the elevated blood-pressure! I'd prefer us to win every game by 30!

UT trails by 2, under 4:00 to go. Latta at the line for a pair of FTs

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:18 PM EDT reply actions

And she makes them.

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions

Tie it up, folks!

50 a piece, with 1:47 to go!

Anosike fouled and will be shooting 2!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:26 PM EDT reply actions

Makes 1

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:27 PM EDT up reply actions

Tie game

Woo!

Do we have any energy left?

Hmmm?

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 11:26 PM EDT reply actions

Not needed

Heart and desire will win this one!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:28 PM EDT up reply actions

Vols up one

With the ball and more time outs. NC has two of their three tallest players fouled out.

Just over a minute left.

Who's it going to be? Parker or Latta?

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 11:29 PM EDT reply actions

Or

Neither, maybe. Just the team.

Great come-from-behind win.

See ya Tuesday.

Go Vols!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Apr 1, 2007 11:38 PM EDT up reply actions

Huuuuge

Alexis hits the 2nd of a pair of FTs to make it a 2 posession game... 24.2 seconds to go!

Nevermind, Latta puts up an airball that goes out of bounds! Tennessee ball, inbounded to Sid who is fouled! She hits both!! With 14.5 to go!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:36 PM EDT reply actions

WOOOOO!!!!

Wow...what a game! 56-50, Lady Vols!!

We got deep in our own mess and extremely sloppy play. Thankfully we were able to get their beasts into foul trouble and got some points inside.

See y'all Tuesday at 8:30 for a shot at the championship!

It's great to be a Lady Vol!

by Aerobab on Apr 1, 2007 11:40 PM EDT reply actions

Um . . .

. . . that may be the first time I've heard that.

Anything you want to tell me, Aerobab?

Hmmm?

Just kidding. See ya Tuesday.

Go Vols!
