Like I definitely don’t see us losing 13 games at the most this year. No way we don’t make the tournament. We just won’t be playing those 1st and 2nd round games in Knoxville this year, which means, no Sweet 16 for this team this year.Holly's last year 2019: 19-12: 11 seed.
2017: 19-11: 5 seed
2016: 19-13: 7 seed
I figure you finish in the top six and like 45 in the net your in as a low seed. We need to win six of the home games and already have one road game. We need two more road games which could be difficult the way we played yesterday. 9 and 7 is an easy in and 8 and 8 maybe. To be talking like this is really sad cause making it just to keep a record of making them all is not where we need to be headed. We need to be headed back to a top ten team and it is obvious were not even close to heading in that direction.Like I definitely don’t see us losing 13 games at the most this year.

I do not think 10-6 will get us in. Not safely, anyway. We’d be squarely on the bubble.Tennessee Women's Basketball Predicted Results Scores & RPI | WarrenNolan.com

This is the projection don't know if were going to be able to make it.
The projection says if we finish 10 and 6 were number 25 in the net which gets you in easily. Were not in now but six more conference wins will do it and seven no problem. Creme is projecting 8 SEC teams right now and were in the first four out even what we've done thus far. SEC got seven in last year so were going to need to finish at least 8 and 8 to be on the bubble. Holly got in that one season with a 7 and 9 SEC record doubt that ever happens again.We’re depending entirely on the conference schedule to get us in though. We accomplished nothing OOC this year.
Key took a big step backwards last night on both ends. I’m worried Kellie is wearing her out relying on her this much after just coming back.The abuse that I was talking about before the game happened. 16 for 33 and that was with Barker missing six or seven easy layups. Karoline and Sarah cannot guard a group like that was a really bad matchup for Tennessee and Carter of Miss St will prove to be the same. If Tamari can't stop her then we have no one that can come Thursday night.
Good nights by them, good night by Rickea. RJ doesn’t get 18 we don’t win…which is the stance. She gets 10 or less we lose.Not true. Jewel and Sarah just did that the other night against Florida. Rickea actually didn't have a great shooting game that night and only got 18 pts bc of late free throws. They just can't do it consistently.
Just a bad roster overall didn't go out and get a post in the portal knowing the situation with Key. Jill has not lived up to her ranking for whatever reason. Sometimes just have to admit were not a very good team. Were good enough to win more than we lose, but regardless of NCAA or not were not going anywhere just another lost season being average. If that is where were headed for the future and sure looks that way need to get used to it or just find something else to do when the Lady Vols play.Key took a big step backwards last night on both ends.

Your first part was what Darth was preaching. Had to get a post knowing the uncertainty of Key and the didn’t do it.Just a bad roster overall didn't go out and get a post in the portal knowing the situation with Key.

Karoline and Sarah can't guard a big post player. If they had played against Kentucky in that second half instead of Tamari we lose that game. Petty was doing the same thing to them that Barker and crew did yesterday. Key only played 13 minutes and like everyone else seemed a little out of it. Only players I saw with any hustle at all were Ace and to some extent Kaiya.
We only win 2-4 games left if like last nightThe projection says if we finish 10 and 6 were number 25 in the net which gets you in easily. Were not in now but six more conference wins will do it and seven no problem. Creme is projecting 8 SEC teams right now and were in the first four out even what we've done thus far.

So we need to beat Vandy, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas A&M at home. No way I can see us winning SC or LSU at home. Road Georgia, Vanderbilt, SC, Miss St, Ole Miss, and Alabama. Win the four at home and two on the road is 9 that will do it with a net around 35. Winning those games is the question no one is sure they can do even that.
A lot of posters were saying that we needed a post player. If you see those comments from the portal back then it was almost everyone including me. Then the thinking was that Key was certainly her old self which even if hard to believe had most of thinking it had to be the case. Who would go into a season otherwise with the other players that you were expecting to play in there.Your first part was what Darth was preaching. Had to get a post knowing the uncertainty of Key and the didn’t do it.
That might be true. I can see us beating Vandy at home, Missouri, and Arkansas, Best bets on the road are Vandy and Georgia. Not saying we will win another game just pointing out what has to be done and it is not that difficult for an average team to do we'll see what happens when they are played. I do know that 9 conference wins get you an NCAA invite getting to nine may be quite difficult for this team.We only win 2-4 games left if like last night
Really best to not worry about who would leave or would decommit etc. Sometimes a change in leadership is just necessary even if you really like the person in charge now. If I could see anyway the program was getting better than it was when she arrived. Not getting better.Players choice to stay or go if that happens.
