ND 2-3 zone shutting Tennessee down right now.

What a collapse by the Lady Vols. Will be interesting to see what they look like on Sunday

UT led by 23 and ended up losing by 14. How is that even possible?

This will still be a really tough road game for us. But UT is a turnover machine and we are as good as anybody at forcing turnovers. If we stay out of foul trouble I think we win.

it is a shame that Vic will never use a zone..it can be an effective tool.

We are certainly better. But it's a road game and they have players. Are they going to lay down or play with fire? Idk but I doubt Warlock has it in her to fire them up to beat us. Going to be our toughest game of the year. Missouri is 2nd. We need this win. I'm making the trip to watch us beat either the best or 2nd best program in women's basketball. Let's win.

Reminded me of that MSU-Florida game from 1995. I dug this up from a thread a few years back...

I've remembered listening to this game on the radio for years, but couldn't remember the details of our comeback, except that it was absolutely amazing. Many of you older guys will remember it. Suffice to say we were playing 1994 Final Four participant Florida (thanks D@A) in the Hump in the 1995 (to be Sweet Sixteen) season. We were trailing 38-22 with 15:30 to go and I was pissed.

Final score MSU 70 Florida 47. Yes, that is a 48-9 run against a ranked team over 15 minutes. Darryl Wilson was en fuego.

Anyway, I love that Google is making it easy to find old newspaper clippings to relive these games that were prior to the internet era. Found these two links for those that want to relive or didn't know about this game ( I don't think it was on TV):

He wants to deny every pass if possible, even hand offs. Can't do that in a zone.

It can be effective, especially with a strong shot-blocker underneath. And it can also help protect a thin team in the post from foul trouble.

That said, though, what Vic is doing works and the team has bought into it. Keep on keepin' on, Vic.

I think Tennessee's length at 1-4 will give us trouble.

Just gotta hope our experience, quickness and shooting edge overcomes all that height. We can't get 1 pt and 6 rebounds from the post like we did in Starkville last year. They're gonna go after T early and often. She's gotta play smart. Let'em have buckets when she's beat.

We're thin in the post, but not really thinner than they are overall, and much more experienced. They really only play 6 or 7 any real minutes in tough games unless they are forced to play more.
