yep, and half the summitteers are in meltdown mode.

Great win for Joanne Boyle, Virginia's first year coach.

I await with eagerness on Boyle vs Goestenkors.

It should be a great contest, and a reunion of sorts for Boyle and GG. As Babhorn mentioned in another post, Joanne was Gail's assistant for nine seasons at Duke. VA is definitely much better than anyone anticpated; they weren't even in the AR votes category of the polls prior to the Tennessee matchup. The good thing about the upset of the Vols is at least we know what to expect now, and won't be surprised.

This is going to be a good game.But I would like to see the Starting Lineup Change!
Peoples or Anderson - Point
Anderson or Bass - 2 Guard
Fussell - Wing
Hartung - S.Forward
C.Reed - Center

Let AT and Gayle come off the bench, maybe they will give the team more.Right now I am not impress with their effort as Seniors.

Well, not sure I agree with the comments about AT and AG. Gayle is averaging 9.3 rbs and 5.3 blks per game thus far, including 13 and 7 respectively last time out. She isn't the biggest scoring threat, but then again she never has been. What she brings defensively is invaluable and more than makes up for the lack of scoring, in particular this season with Cokie and others contributing points in the paint. Granted, AT can be pretty inconsistent, and had a poor shooting night vs. Alcorn State. But she did lead all scorers with 19 vs. SE LA, and is third in scoring for the team through three contests.
