I feel like those 3 have been the most consistent as i expect them to show up every game now . X factors who need to join them are Jackson for sure , Franklin who's been our workhorse ala heartbeat and striplin who has improved strides since last season . Very proud of her work ethic as i was one who did not believe in her talents. She's become our Abby Conklin circa 2022 lol . Hopefully Marta can find her groove she's whom i had pegged as our new Abby but its Striplin !! :)

I wrote something like this in the bracketology thread, but Florida's out of conference schedule is as soft as a marshmelon. Bethune-Cookman, Prairie View A&M, Presbyterian, Green Bay, Furman, Houston - you get the idea. When they've played anyone who's sniffing the Top 25 (Oklahoma and Florida State), they've lost.

Let's hope Tennessee is sniffing the Top 25 for this one.

It's not like we've beaten anyone in the top 25 We should learn a little bit about the team tonight. I guess it might depend on how long she keeps one of the top players in the SEC on the bench tonight, still can't figure that one out

Their fans hate all things Tennessee. So, that will get their girls motivated.

We are playing on short rest.

Size wise, Florida matches up very well with us. The teams aren't that much different from last year, and they beat us by 25.

Our best plan of action is to start the same five, and hope that Horston gets us off to a good lead. That will help quiet the hostile crowd.

If we can hit 3-balls, we should be fine. If the game is still close with five minutes remaining, then it will be a dog fight to end.

I expect a similar rotation to the Stanford game with very limited minutes for Miles, Wynn and Pissott.

Need the group of Su, Jill, Rickea, Powell, Franklin to provide considerable energy and put a beat-down on the Gator bench.

We can win. But, it is an identical game to what men played at Ole Miss last night. Not a walk-in park on the road against a quality SEC opponent.

Don't you have it figured out starting the same five and letting one of the top players in the SEC sit on the bench, tell me another coach that does that

SC Cardoso to me is one of the top players in the SEC and she comes off the bench ? This year her mins are up to almost 20mins a game and 10pts 8.3rbs 1.8bks and shooting 59.7 from the field. With her stats she should be a stater you think ? So if TN can win with Jackson coming off bench then i would leave the lineup as is.

Have to control their three guards they took 43 of 63 shots in their game against Oklahoma and that is basically how it is gone all season. You stop their guards you stop florida. Deans is the main focus for us today and the other guard is the second focus.

I agree we have to lock down Deans, no leaving, no helping. She shot 17 3s in their last game. 17! And when you're hitting 40%, why not?

I would much rather see Rickards, Kyle, or Rimdal taking their shots.

Vescovi is our best player. ZZ is our second best let’s be for real!

We can call them co-MVP's. ZZ is on most every night

Horston is steady good; Jackson has flashed moments.

Exactly! It doesn't matter who starts.

Who is out there during crunch time is the question.

So. Much. This. ^^^^^^^
Pretty sure that weight will pay dividends down the road for the sophomore starters. Hopefully Rickea has evolved beyond that need.

You kidding? Carly Rae Jenson says to call me maybe.

The Lady Vols have never defeated Carly. Not going to talk now; she is still laughing about that 84-59 beatdown from last time.
