LOLCandace

I'm half listening to the game half working but Candace has something like 18 points with 6:00 left in the first.  They cannot stop her.

Ugh.

...twice.

Holly's been Fulmerized!

From Holly, whom I revere:

[new] ...well, unless

she dislocates her shoulder.  [Heck!]

Go Vols!

Which . . .

. . . is really not good news. I'm cooking and watching kids. What happened?

Go Vols!

Close game

In a nutshell, Parker had her shoulder dislocated in the 1st half, then a second time just as the half was about to end.  She's in a shoulder sleeve now, though I don't know if she's in the game yet.

Parker's back in.

I didn't see the first dislocation, but the second one was from trying to block a pass.

Got the kids in bed now

Watching. Has it been this close the whole way?

Go Vols!

As far as I know.

I've been on the road and taking care of dinner myself, so I'm not sure.  But I think it has.  Neither team is exactly an offensive giant tonight.

But UT is a completely different team with Parker in.

Hmm

How can you play with your shoulder partially immobilized? You'd think the other team would just play her other hand.

Go Vols!

Sounds like fouls are the goal.

Two shots from the line are harder with a bad shoulder than one shot from a foot away.

Wow - Parker is tough

They're hammering her over and over, but she's gutting this out. Incredible performance.

by jebushchrist on Apr 1, 2008 8:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

No doubt

Fulmer could use her on the offensive line.

Go Vols!

It's more like a music group

Candace Parker and the Lady Vols...

by hooper on Apr 1, 2008 8:51 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Wow

Huge shot. Huge.

Go Vols!

by Joel on Apr 1, 2008 8:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hornbuckle saw the shotclock

and saw Summitt's face in the clock.  She had no choice but to make the shot.

Defense and rebounds

Women's, men's, doesn't matter.

Go Vols!

Game = over

by hooper on Apr 1, 2008 9:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Woot!

Great win

Nice comeback. On to the Final Four.

Go Vols!
