MTSU tonight 6:30 (Mar 24)

Post by VandyWhit »

I really want us to win this game. Of course, I always want us to win every game, but this one is a post-season do-or-die game, a game against a local rival, and a chance for revenge for an earlier loss, so it would be a really good win if we can pull it off.

Off to a good start -- VU up 17-6 late in the 1st, Rick Insell calls timeout. Sacha Washington continues to impress me so much with her post presence.

Sounds like there's a good contingent of Vandy fans. The fact that Iyana is from Murfreesboro probably helps.

I sense Coach Shea wants this one real bad. I know our ladies can win this game!

Kevin is saying the score is 29-21, and the refs waved off that last layup by MTSU. The scoreboard on the screen says 29-23 after they fiddled with it the whole half-time break. I hope that gets fixed. Sure can't afford to give them two extra.

Scoreboard fixed. They're gonna come out hard the second half. We need to return the favor.

A little wobble at the start of the half but back up to a 9 point lead. Still feels like a nail-biter, though.

Yep, no wonder it felt tight - 40-40 now. Yikes!

Ballgame. Disappointing to lose to them twice.

Welp, that's that. An exciting, scrappy ballgame, but it didn't end the way we wanted. Foul trouble hurt us. Still, the last few games have been a great finish to the season, with lots of extra practice and high stakes game experience for our returning players. Of course I would have liked us to win the whole thing, but the last couple of weeks have made me even more encouraged about the future of WBB than I was. Hats off to the team and coaches! I hope after they get over their disappointment with tonight's loss, they'll be able to appreciate what they did accomplish, including an injection of confidence for the future in the fan base.

Followed the game online and on radio via the Vandy app. A great effort that came up short. Can't wait till next season!

Why cant we ever catch a break in the last 30 or so seconds of a game?? (Alexander would have made a difference but have to respect her decision.) Proud of these young ladies & have come a long way from start of season. Jordyn is all heart! Thx team & coaches, Thank you all chat contributors.

This game was very similar to the mend loss at Xavier. As I said in an earlier post. The advantage is to the home team in these tight postseason games. Just that little edge in energy. Good job this year.
