This has been a frustrating season watching the Lady Vols, however, those of us that love them refused to jump ship. Yes some of us complained and prayed for better results, and the Ladies made some remarkable improvements in the last 9 games, however, they fell short of their original expectations as well as other teams, i.e. USC, Baylor & ND.
Some will use the failures of others to justify our erratic season, if that makes you happy, then so be it. To me the expectation should always be number one. The expectation should not be to just make the NCAA's, make the Sweet 16, the Elite 8 but to make the final four and eventually become a national champion. We should recruit that way, coach that way and expect no less. When we start accepting small victories, that is all they are. When we lower the bar, we will get exactly what we expect.
UCONN has set the bar and the LV goal should be to reach that bar and reset the bar. We did it before, and with the proper expectations, coaching and recruiting we can once again be at the top of the food chain. Once we accept second best, or less, that is exactly what we will become.
Hang in there fellow Lady Vol fans stay on the bandwagon and hope for much brighter days to come. :dance2:
