After a lot of celebration and two days of confessions, Kim Caldwell And Lady Vols jumped back into the pan when they were looking for a second direct victory for the top 10 this time on the road in LSU.

Tennessee is no unknown to the Tigers who lost 89-87 at home, as LSU scored a second to play a lead and Tennessee missed the jumper in the paint to tie the game.

The challenge of Sunday is different along the way in what will be the worst environment in which Lady Vols have been playing so far.

A week ago in Missouri Tennessee was afraid to start the game, behind by 11 and needed a blazing hot first quarter of Talaysia Cooper In order not to be blowing.

“I think she’s always a little timid in the first quarter, so it was huge. If she didn’t have this first quarter, I don’t think we win this game, “Caldwell said.

When you play Tennessee, “it will always be a game of tracks because of the style and pace of the game. Can Lady Vols recruit and focus enough to prevent LSU from starting quickly by running on Sunday afternoon.

2 – Keep your in paint – Tennessee paint numbers against Uconn were good. Lady Vols won the battle of boards with 14. Both teams had 42 points in the paint. This was certainly a good job of Caldwell’s team. Sunday is different. LSU is bigger over the front line and Tennessee’s challenge will be better playing than when the two teams met for the first time.

In the first match, LSU had 60 paint points by Tennessee’s 30s. Lady Volts had 14 points in the offensive struggles, and LSU had 24. Tennessee was only 10 for 20 on Lay UPS, while LSU was 18 for 28 (64%).

Tennessee was competing and they were good at the rim on Thursday night. They will surely have a different test on Sunday.

3 – Finale – Lady Vols was great in the section Thursday night. As Caldwell noted, fans are a huge part of it. But every time Uconn closes the gap or tied the game, Tennessee answered. Lady Vols has made 5 of her last 6 goal attempts in the field. One lady found herself again in the hands of Tennessee’s offensive bounce. Uconn in the last 3+ minutes has never received a protective stop.

When Tennessee and LSU played a month ago, LSU ended when the Tigers made 4 of their last goal attempts on 5 flights. When Tennessee tied the game or even got the lead, they could never extend it because LSU had an answer.

Who can mark baskets and who can make stops in the last four minutes? Given the first game, this seems to be the story of the game if Lady Vols can enter the fourth quarter within the range.
