Texas A&M at Vandy, 1/29/23/, Noon (SEC Network)
I wish I could approach these games with more excitement than dread. I guess that’s when I’ll know the program has turned the corner (or, maybe when I've turned the corner). That’s not today, though. A&M has been dealing with a lot of what we’ve been dealing with in terms of injuries. The difference is, their suffering was temporary. They went from seven players to nine a week ago and expect a 10th player back today. They got super freshman Janiah Barker back last Sunday and, after nearly two months away with a broken shooting hand, she responded with 24 points in 21 minutes of play. We have no one who can handle her. She’s 6’4, very strong, moves like a guard and has skills.
She has all the earmarks of a future superstar if her constant need for attention doesn’t get in the way. She often treats basketball games as an episode of “A Day in the Life of the Marvelous Janiah Barker.” No amount of attention is enough.
I don’t think we can beat them, but, thankfully, I’m often wrong.

I don't like these games where the announcers are not in the gym. They tend to get into casual conversations and lose track of the game action.

Up 40-32 at half. Harbison with 18. Brilliant defensive game plan. Three-quarter court pressure with half-court traps. A lot like last season, but we've seen little of it since we got down to eight players. Think that speaks to how important this game is to the coaches and players. Throw every thing you have at them. Now, can we keep the energy needed to make it work in the second half?

Am I the only nervous wreck? Up 10 with 2:23 left. Demi just missed 2 FT.

Great game and atmosphere in Memorial. Having the Vandyland really brought out a lot of loud kids! Lol. And Ciaja, what a baller. Sure wish we could get more time with her.

How about overcoming 4 fouls in 15 seconds- never seen such a foul call spree. We played with determination.

Women's basketball officiating is horrible. Nice that the team survived the flurry of fouls at the end of the game.
