After a strong start to conference play, the Bulldogs are on pace to return to the NCAA Tournament. SEC Notebook by @jackwchurch.bsky.social: herhoopstats.substack.com

Islands in the Stream by Kermit the Frog and Sabrina Carpenter soothes the soul

I tear up every damn year. Also one of the few times cheering on press row is perfectly acceptable.

Janiah Barker and Talaysia Cooper have 10 points each. The rest of the Lady Vols have six total points. Tennessee has forced 15 turnovers but given the ball up nine times.

For Mississippi State, being down three after 11 turnovers in a quarter is a win. For Tennessee, 0-for-5 from the free throw line and bad half-court offense is very concerning, especially if the Bulldogs take better care of the ball.

Janiah Barker returns for Tennessee after missing the Kentucky game. It's the final game before the Lady Vols head to Hartford to face No. 1 Connecticut on Sunday.

Thanks to its legacy in producing players, such as Sam Mewis, Kristie Mewis and Ally Sentnor, the U.S. Women's National Team should play a game in Hanson, Mass. In this essay I will

Yes, I am going to be obnoxious. No, I do not feel bad.

Kenny Brooks: "I think we set women's basketball back about 15 years...I wouldn't have paid to watch it"

The foul got changed from Spearman to Cooper, and it's Cooper's fourth.

Zee Spearman just committed her fourth foul on an Amelia Hassett and-one with 7:36 to go. Hassett made the free throw to tie the game.

Alyssa Latham just committed her third foul, fouling Amelia Hassett on a 3-point shot. With 7:42 left in the third quarter, Kentucky is in the bonus.

Talaysia Cooper has committed three personal fouls in the first 1:13 of the second half, two of which came in the most recent two seconds.

The stars haven't made all that much of an impact offensively tonight. Clara Strack has four points, and Talaysia Cooper has two on 1-for-10 shooting. The Lady Vols have to find a way to get Cooper more involved offensively in the second half.

5:48 2Q: UK 15-15 UT Tennessee is shooting just 1-for-11 from 3-point range but is also not having much success going to the rim. Its offensive production is helped by seven offensive rebounds. Kentucky isn't scoring fast either but is starting to find some offense.

Tennessee has been pretty good against size early with just two points for Clara Strack and none for Amelia Hassett. Jaida Civil has also been good defensively. Tennessee's freshmen have been really good on that end of the floor.

With 2:13 left in the first quarter, Zee Spearman has two fouls.

4:52 1Q: UK 3-4 UT Both Strack and Spearman have a foul each. It's been a physical game early with both teams struggling to get to the rim and shooting a combined 2-for-13 from the field.

Deniya Prawl starts for the third time this season and the first since December 3 at Kentucky. Most of the attention has been on Strack, but Alyssa Latham has a big matchup against Amelia Hassett tonight.

With Barker out, I'm interested to see how Tennessee will deal with Kentucky's height. In last year's game in Lexington, Clara Strack went a perfect 11-for-11 from the field for 23 points to go with 15 rebounds.

Starting the women’s Beanpot championship with a soprano sax national anthem. My city>your city

J.J. Post cooked again

Noemi Rüegg has improved so much in these new tactics. She’s focused. She’s having fun. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a dark horse for the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

If Ally Wollaston can sprint like that all year I could definitely see her winning a GT stage later this season. What a start to the year at the Tour Down Under for her

Two excellent games at the women’s Beanpot semifinals capped off with a Maeve Carey overtime goal for BU to end Northeastern’s three-year streak. Boston is the greatest city in the world.

Happy Beanpot to all who celebrate

Apparently my sweater game is severely lacking

The Lady Vols took care of business against Arkansas and are now 4-0 in SEC play. The schedule gets tougher soon with Alabama and Kentucky coming up.

With Talaysia Cooper out, Tennessee's forwards have stepped up to make up the scoring. Jaida Civil has also had a good two-way game with 10 points, five rebounds and four steals.

After a good showing on the boards in the first quarter, Arkansas now has a four-rebound advantage in the game. The Razorbacks have 10 offensive rebounds, and Tennessee has 12 (though there have been more misses on Tennessee's offensive end).

Niele Ivey wouldn't play nine players in a softball game

4:54 2nd: Tennessee leads 33-26. Arkansas has been playing better but still has some turnover issues. Janiah Barker had to come out due to injury but is back in the game after the media timeout.

Tennessee's lead could've been greater had it not got into the penalty early. Seven fouls from the Lady Vols turned into a 6-for-6 free throw performance from the Razorbacks.

4:16 1Q: Tennessee leads, 20-9 Arkansas can't stop the Lady Vols on offense, and the Razorbacks also struggle to get the ball into their half-court set. Tennessee is shooting 60%, while Arkansas already has four turnovers.

Nya Robertson, Mia Pauldo, Jaida Civil, Janiah Barker and Zee Spearman start for the Lady Vols. Taleyah Jones, Wyvette Mayberry, Jada Bates, Bonnie Deas and Asnlynn Chlarson start for Arkansas.

I'm back. I didn't see Talaysia Cooper on the floor for warm-ups this afternoon. She wasn't listed in the availability report last night.

Hello out there, we’re on the air, it’s hockey night tonight
