Any update on situation with Tamari Key? I know she won't play again for the season but I want to know if she will be alright.

She looks fine is traveling with the team so that is a positive. Great to see her condition is stable enough so she can do what she wants other than basketball.

The task before our Lady Vols is formidable, but it wouldn't be a worthy victory if it wasn't.....Be positive guys, and hope for the best....

They can be beat....

We are getting very close to not making the tournament with the SEC schedule ahead of us.

LVs are currently #23 in the NET Ranking, which carries a lot of weight with the tournament committee. So, they are going to have to lose an awful lot of games to miss out. Possible, sure, but I doubt it.

the report was that she would ultimately be okay --- if I was her, though, I would not take any more experimental gene therapy shots

I believe we're the only program in America that still uses the old-fashioned and antiquated term "Lady" for one or more of its women's sports programs. We're stuck in the 80s....

Boo Hoo -- change for the sake of change is not all it's cracked up to be --- besides, what exactly is wrong with being a lady?

This will be an interesting game. It seems like we always have a height advantage but with Key out, I think height will be about even. If our last game is any indication, we will be taking more jump shots and driving less to the basket with scoop shots. It will be interesting to see who our core 5 are along with key subs. Do we play a deep bench or go with 3 or 4 key subs? Will having so many lineups so far this season hurt us in this game or will the starters play as one? I think (or hope) we are starting to gel as a team and play a very competitive entertaining game.

You hit nail squarely on the head .Unfortunately, Coach seemingly has no idea about who to start or who to substitute hence there is no chemistry among any of the 5 players on the floor at any one time. Sadly ,I have a really gloomy feel about this game because if Coach starts the same players as last game and substitutes similarly, I fear the worst .

Good luck Lady Vols ....pulling for ya !

If we win all the games Massey’s predicts we will, that would be 21 wins. Would be fine if we win more, starting with Stanford for #22.

Easy Peasy, just take over the game Lady Vols.

GLV!!!

Hope I’m wrong but my prediction is a 15 point loss. I don’t think we’re even close to being ready to face a team this good.

LADY VOLS FACE SUNDAY TEST AT STANFORD
• After playing six straight games at home, Tennessee
(7-5) heads west to test its mettle vs. No. 2/2 Stanford
(10-1) on Sunday at 12:03 p.m. PT (3:03 p.m. ET) at Ma-
ples Pavilion in a contest televised nationally by ABC.
• Interestingly enough, the Lady Vols and Cardinal will
meet on Dec. 18 for the fourth consecutive time and
the fifth occasion in the past six clashes.
• The trip to California will mark the Lady Vols' first true
road game since opening the 2022-23 campaign at
then No. 14/15 (now No. 3/4) Ohio State on Nov. 8.
• After a brutal early-season schedule of facing five
teams currently ranked in the polls (including four in
the top 10) left UT at 2-4 on Nov. 21, the Big Orange
have won five of their last six and carry a three-game
winning streak into Sunday's matinee.
• Stanford packs a five-game victory string of its own
into the match-up, with its only loss of the year coming
at home on Nov. 20 at the hands of No. 1/1 South Caro-
lina, 76-71, in overtime.
• In its last game, which was against a common foe, the
Cardinal took down No. 23 Gonzaga, 84-63, at Maples.
UT fell to the Zags, 73-72, in its final game of the Battle
4 Atlantis in The Bahamas on Nov. 21.
• Tennessee and Stanford will convene for the 39th time
in a series that dates back to 1988. UT holds a 25-13 ad-
vantage, but SU has claimed the past three meetings.
• This will mark the Lady Vols' first appearance at Stan-
ford since Dec. 18, 2019. Later that season, "COVID"
brought an immediate end to the campaign after con-
ference tournament play. The pandemic eventually
led to Stanford postponing its scheduled 2020 trip to
Knoxville until 2021 and UT's next journey to California
to this season.

five and four, respectively.

One thing for sure the LVs are battle tested. I just hope they go in with a positive attitude and give Stanford a good game. There is no reason to be negative about this game. Judging from this year’s comparison, Stanford should beat us by at least 20 points, however, the LVs have not played the best game this year that they are capable of, let’s hope that game is today. Go Lady Vols, you can do it!!!

If I see improvement on defense I won't be that upset win or lose. It would be nice to finally get the drama that has went with the season thus far out of the way and just play basketball. I don't know how many points we'll score, but if Stanford scores over 70 we still have not arrived on defense.

I know nothing about this Stanford team but even so I'll be surprised if we hold them under 70 points. It would be great if we could--we most definitely
won't be a contender this year unless we play better defense. This game will give us a good sense of where we are as a team.
