Tenn up by two at the half, 32-30. Stricklen is carrying the Lady Vols. Baugh and Simmions are suppling a lot of energy and Harrison is doing a good job defending Griner when subbing for Baugh Griner seems to be allowing Tenn to push her out to the FT line on offense and is showing no desire to rebound. She's getting her blocks though and really affected the LVs shooting inside early.
gonna watch this game and then LSU-Ohio State at 3pm on the Big 10 Network before Horns face off against Hawaii at 9pm on the OC16. Add turkey leftovers and it's a great way to spend a Sunday.
Tenn really looking confident. Baylor not so much. Kinda torn about this. I want Baylor to win because they are representing the Big 12 but would like to see Tenn win this particular game.
I know Baugh is 6-4 but sometimes she looks like a little girl standing next to a grown woman when you see her lined up against Griner. She is making Griner come out to the FT line to guard her, though. Opens up the baseline for the rest of the Lady Vols.
Griner getting her shots off within five feet of the basket. She can go over either shoulder effectively and no Lady Vol can elevate enough to bother her. Doesn't leave any misses to rebound.
Baylor's going to win this one. They don't miss much from the FT line and they get there quite a bit. Gonna be a fight going against both of these teams.
It was a good game. Tennessee looked better than I expected, and Baylor didn't look as good as I expected - maybe related to playing at Tennessee, I dunno
