LOLOL!!!! Did you watch the Tennessee slobberfest by Duncan, Peck, and Carter for an hour before the game?

I know UConn fans think women's basketball started with their first Championship in '95, but Pat Summitt and Tennessee are the ones who put women's basketball on the map. It is right to give Pat and Tennessee their due for being the ones who helped build wcbb across the country and on TV.
So Tennessee slipped as Summitt slipped and haven't yet recovered their mojo. UConn fans have not been very gracious when going through a few years in a row with no national championship. What will it be like for UConn fans post Geno? We're getting a taste of just how ugly that will get.
Of course I didn't watch the game or the pre-game due to being on the way to the Duke/VTech game so can't really speak to the announcers during this game.

Well, at least they don’t have any homer ties to Tennessee! Oh wait, Peck was an assistant there, and Cater a player.

Hmmm. You can hype it as a must-see rivalry game, but after a while, nobody's gonna believe you anymore. There were a few parts of really decent basketball, it really didn't live up to the hype of olden days.
Ailyah Edwards seems to get better every game, imo, just by the eye test alone - greatly improved. I'm interested to see that matchup with Boston.
I really hope Kelly can keep on the long incline to greatness for the Vols once again, and I also hope Geno's DE-cline to future teams below his usual standards is a slow one, too. BOTH programs have done so much for the game we love. ❤️

In the post game interviews Horston said that UConn was the most physical team they have played.
Stat-wise UConn's pts off turnovers vs Tenn's 2nd chance pts cancelled each other. UConn simply shot better. Edwards/Senechal were 20/33 (4-6) for 51 while Horston/Jackson were 16/36 (2-3) for 40 pts..

| I've said this for 3 years, but I really think Horston should be a top 5 pick. What she can do at her height will translate very well to the WNBA and she will finally get to play with guards who are at her same level of talent.

I’ve seen a lot of Horston over the years and I’m finally coming into this belief. A lot of W GMs and coaches are salivating over her skill set and hustle. 6’2 guard who can block shots and rebound - incredibly impressive. If this continues, I can see her going top 3…or even second?!
