Vols,

After finding the game being carried on UT Sports.Com........I started watching with the Lady Vols down by 11 in the second half. The 2 teams kept trading baskets until about 4 minutes left. Then, the L V's grabbed a 5 point lead on 2 occasions at the end of regulation. Help me on this one.......we were up by 3 with seconds left. MTSU came down the floor.......and am I the only one in the amateur world of basketball who was saying "foul them now?" Don't even let them have a 3. But, it just seemed our defense was to 'hope they didn't make the 3.' And,of course they did hit the 3 and poof.......overtime.

Watching this game after that, in o t MTSU got the lead and had the ball. The flow of the game just made me feel this was going to be a loss. Shame on me for giving it up and watching something else. Even with this being a young team, they proved they will scrap and claw and win some of these games.

If they can avoid the injury bug and gain confidence along the way, they'll do just fine.

Don't know if it was a coaching mistake or player mistake but I think the correct play was to foul when MTSU crossed the half and send them to the free throw line for 2 shots..Simmons left her feet and got out of position on the made 3 pointer..what I liked most was the total team effort...
