What an ugly game. Parker looked good throughout most of the game. She definetly pressed at some points, most likely b/c the rest of the team was stinking up the court. Zolman may have just silenced all of the 'underrated' talk. Hornbuckle definetly lost the key match up battle. Harding impressed me greatly. She is possibly the best PG in the country, she is right there with Latta. If Parker doesnt get help from Zolman, Hornbuckle, Anosikie, this team just can't battle top teams. The offense was out of sorts and the D was questionable at best. Tennessee has some work to do before tournament time.

This is insane. They deserve to drop below 2nd if they lose by 20+.
Zolman and Hornbuckle have been HUGE disappointments tonight. Thank God Parker is there otherwise they might not have scored 30. |
They're really getting whooped huh?

Not surprised that Duke is winning. Somewhat surprised at the margin.
FWIW, both of last year's finalists got whipped about this time last year, Michigan State at Penn State on the 23rd and Baylor at Texas on the 22nd. It was the last loss before the national finals for either team.

Parker should come out pissed. Zolman should come out with her tail between her legs.

They played sloppy, way too many TO's. Anosikie hussled like she always does. Spencer had a decent night. Parker had some good plays early, but as the game went on I think she felt she needed to do more and got called for some charges and forced things a bit. Zolman was non-existant. Maybe Pat should pull her from the starting lineup for the next game???

The only bright spot for Tenn was seeing my SPARKS Forward at the game. The Claw was optimistic at tip-off, but she was giving the big frown in the 2nd half.
McCray was there, too.
It is nice seeing the Alumni root for their teams.
Way to go Duke. Harding is the BOMB!

Um, why does Shanna Zolman always disappear in big games? Man, Candace got absolutely NO help tonight, NONE.

8 steals for Harding ... Duke's perimeter shooting was outstanding. I thought Waner and Foley hit some daggers in the second half that erased any thoughts of a comeback.

Here's a box score posted earlier. Not to beat her while she's down, but while Zolman was on the floor, it was virtually 6 on 4 in Duke's favor according to this...

Keegan - Jess needs to hit 6 more 3s and she will be in 3rd place on Duke's all-time 3pt shots made.

Okay, first of all does anyone else think Abby Waner is cute? I mean even I'm ATTRACTED to her. HOTTIEEEE.
Anyways, hormones aside, Tenn needs someone to step up. Zolman, with a good defender on her, has trouble getting her shot off. She only had as many points against UConn as she did because she got to the line. If I'm Tenn, I let the D focus on Zolman and give Sid Spencer as many looks as possible before she's exposed as a force beyond the arch. Anosike has shown me nothing, and I think Fluker deserves minutes over her.
As for Duke, damn, must be nice to be so deep. Jess Foley off the bench? She was killin' it and deserves more minutes. Black and Smith also impressed me, and I guess a year off really did benefit Miss Harding. Bales did not impress me much with her offense, although her D, rebounding, and passing were on point. Duke is for real.

Whoever said Monique disapears in big games does not know their history. Monique lives and breathes for the big games - she thrives on the intensity and pressure.
The one thing I was most worried about was Parker guarding Currie and it's true that when Parker was on her, Mo had a tough time. Part of that was that Anosike would double up on her when she got into the paint. But once duke figured that out, Mo would draw the defenders, kick out to Lindsey and let her find the opening. And our shooters were ON tonight!
Great game! Thundering atmosphere! Drive home safely! (that's my second favorite chant at the end of games we've won). My all time favorite cheer is when we beat the Tar Heels in Cameron and finish the night with GO TO HELL CAROLINA GO TO HELL!

Must have been sad for you not to be able to do that last year.
