So that seventh-hardest ranking is based on the games played to this point? Or is it based on the full schedule for teams? I'm curious about the six top teams.

Massey gives us the #4 schedule overall so far, with Ohio State, Indiana, and UCLA all ranked in the top 10. Eastern Kentucky is the 2nd worst team we'll play this season (per Massey), so hopefully this is a good opportunity to build some confidence and give the bench good minutes.

Her Hoop Stats has us winning today 84-57.

If EKY is no match for us, I'd like to see us rest the starters - who played so much Friday nite - more and give development time to players like Hollingshead, Wynn, Pissott, etc. I'd like to see us rest Franklin's knee, Walker, etc. But I would also like to see Key try to develop her rebounding and scoring game some more. We need her to get going. I would use this game to try to get her going.

Watching the UConn vs Iowa game, neither is “LOADED” with talent as Top 10 teams. Both just are clearly well coached teams.
UConn in terms of size looks like a HS team.

I agree that certain injuries need rest but the 1st team is still not playing to their potential but are improving towards that. I'd play close to the same sub pattern with more minutes going towards those that are close to breaking through. Franklin may not play very much because she may have reached the level Kellie needs her to play at and others need the minutes more. I'd love to see Sara, Jillian and Marta get a big slug of minutes today.

Jillian Hollingshead is the X-Factor to TN winning a nat’l title. I’m watching teams that multiple posters on here have stated are FF contenders and neither has a post player anywhere close to the skill level as Hollingshead. With Key, Rickea, Powell, and Horston a post like Hollingshead puts TN over the top with better in-game management.
Iowa and UConn are superiorly coached teams right now. Neither has close to the level of talent TN does right now!
