    Unfortuneately I think that Oh for Tenn is going to continue at least one more game. The Irish are a very good team, the Vols are a great team. They simply have too many weapons for the Irish to beat them. Of course upsets do happen so they will have to go ahead and play the game, but I'm not expecting that we will be able to keep it even under a 10 point loss.

    I'm glad though to see Muffit has recovered her sense of humour. There was a stretch there in the middle of the season where she had a hard time enjoying a win.

    Well Scott, it looks like the Aggies get the Vols. New York Strip doesn’t go through a meat grinder very often. 8)

    A little word of advice. Tell the Ags that they better score it up in the first half while Tennessee typically sleep walks. The second half belongs to the Lady Vols. :wink:

    Well the Irish did keep it to 10 points, and I thought they gave it a great effort but in the end Candace Parker showed why she is the best player in womens college basketball last night. Congrats to the Lady Vols!

    Aggies shoot the ball from 3pt land better than the Irish, so maybe they will have a chance. Parker will get her points, the Aggies have to get theirs from beyond the arc to keep up.

    All I know is the Aggie girls actually live the "40 minutes of hell" style you hear talked about.
    They are very aggressive on defense, and are not dependent on any one star player for offense.

    I have no idea if they'll pull off the upset, but if anybody can these girls will...

    :p

    I watched part of their game just before ours. I will agree that they look to be up to the challenge. I will joke about it but I am not counting this win before it happens.
