I paced my way to a few miles walked watching that one. The third quarter almost did me and my feet in but the team regrouped and pulled away in the 4th. Beating an undefeated, top 10 ranked TN team on the road with Belibi out and Brink essentially out is a big deal. I don't think TN is all that and a bag of chips but they are very good and play the style that can give us trouble. Given all that, this was a big win. Jones had trouble making shots but everything else she did was critical (ok, a few TOs I could live without but we will ignore those given what else she did). Prechtel was the offensive star when the game was tight. Jones was the do everything star down the stretch with rebounds and FTs.
So nice to basically win the game at the FT line. Love that Iriafen got some good minutes and played well. This sort of atmosphere and her success could really help her going forward. I also thought Wilson did an great job running the point. I thought the team played better with her in the game. That is the sort of game I had hoped to see from her - 5 assists and no TOs IIRC.
I have seen so many bummer games away at TN even when we had excellent teams. That makes this a sweet win.
