I'm going to be llate to my Oscar watching party, but I had to watch the end of the Lady Vols' game against LSU. It went right down to the wire, but in the end, Pat Summitt's ladies pulled out a squeaker.
Now I'm not a big basketball expert, but watching this game, and a few others during the season, it seemed to me that the Lady Vols aren't playing with the same level of intensity I'm used to seeing from a Pat Summitt team.
Is this just me, or have other people seem the same thing?
I've seen poor passes, lazy defense, and generally sloppy play the last couple of games. It could be that they're just tired; Lord knows a tournament takes it out of you, but it really surprised me. Two or three times tonight I saw players miss beautiful passes bevause they weren't paying attention to the ball, or passes that went way off target.
I guess the good news is that the Lady Vols have room to elevate their game as they go into the NCAA tournament.
How cool is this? Both the Ladies and the Men finish the season second in the SEC and win their Division. How long has it been since that happened? Now we'll have to see if the men can avenge a couple of their losses and maybe win their tournament.
