AP Poll LVs #19

I was just hoping for this team to not ruin the tournament streak, but at the rate they’re going, they’ll not just make it, they’ll have a legitimate shot to be a host. Caldwell is crushing expectations both with this team and on the recruiting trail so far.

If UT goes undefeated until conference play they will be top 15 with back to back home games against 2 top 15 teams in Oklahoma and LSU. Really excited for those 2 matchups!! GBO! LSU plays no one the next 7 games until Knoxville so will be 17 and 0 entering our game. A for sure top 5 team. Oklahoma has 2 ranked teams before Knoxville, so will see how highly ranked Oklahoma will be.

Richmond would be another Q1 victory before we get to the SEC. 1-0, just for today!

I’m excited for the LSU game. I think we matchup really well with them this season. Especially if ADR is still out when we play. They don’t have their usual size. They are prone to lapses like we are, they have head some head scratchers to start the season even though they won.

ADR playing or not doesn’t change much in the LSU vs UT matchup.
Tennessee just faced 6’4 O’Grady who averages 15 ppg and 5 rebs at Iowa who is as good or better than any true post the Lady Vols will see in the SEC from Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kitts at South Carolina etc.
Lady Vols just need to keep working and improving as a team.

Kim Mulkey is not Jan Jensen. If she has 6’6” with size and you can’t matchup she will murder you in the paint.

Right now they are struggling with their frontline. If their guards are off at all it gets ugly for them in a hurry. All of her best teams have been built around post play.

Surprised Kentucky only dropped two spots after losing by almost 20 to UNC. I don’t think either of those teams is particularly great.

UNC is likely 8th or 9th in the ACC and I doubt they’re a top 25 team by February. They have some veteran player but none of them are elite.

Unless Amoore starts scoring 20+ a game Kentucky just isn’t very good. They have some size but that size is young and very guardable.

Something seems really off with Amoore, just not the same player at all so far this season. I’m sure she’ll torch us when we play lol, but she has been a disappointment so far.

I really thought this season would be the end for Banghart at UNC, but it seems like Deja Kelly was addition by subtraction. They haven't really passed the eye test for me, and it's only been 10 games, but this team is her best by far in offensive rating, 2-point FG%, 3-point FG%, assists, turnovers, and A/TO ratio - all while being about on par with their defensive stats from previous seasons (which have always been pretty good). I don't think they're a true contender, but I think they're better than 8th or 9th in the ACC.

I agree with you re: Amoore. Her shooting is way off. That said, she's averaging a career-best 2.87 A/TO ratio and 8.3 assists/game. Not sure she can keep that up in the SEC, though.

Well deserved and likely will stay in TOP 25 all year.

Looks like we will make it to Conference play undefeated (12-0) then I think 10-6 in conference play and probably 0-1 Against UConn

22-7 in year one before discussing post season play would be a huge 1st year.

What? That just seems silly. I get having a hangover from a couple of disappointing years, but voters should be passed that now. They think Iowa should still be ranked but not the LVs?

Fla St is hurting us, they're out of the top 25 and only got 3 votes. Thought that win would be more impactful.

KY does seem too high at 16, def is Kenny favoritism/respect in there.

How does Alabama fall all the way to first out, and Ole Miss stays in at 6-3?
