Lady Vols Enter NCAA Play As No. 1 Seed

[Amb3096]

how convenient how they forget that Griner put Tn out 2 years in a row....

Baylor beat Tennessee in Griner's freshman and Jr. year. Tennessee should have won that first game. Tennessee was an afterthought in Baylor's championship run. No one would seriously think they were going to beat Baylor.

Still doesn't change the fact that Tennessee has been a serious championship contender maybe once in the last 6 years. They need to get some signature wins...otherwise, they are going to continue to remain mired in Pretender status.

Third highest seed I believe. They've bounced back nicely this season.

Well when you win by one and the two games were garbage too,It's called lucky.A win is a win,still hard to believe they got a number one seed,Luck again.But I am happy the team got this far and do hope Tenn makes it to the Second round.....who knows? UCONN waiting ,now wouldn't that be something?
Good Luck Tenn,,,:good!:

ESPN definitely strikes me as a UCONN fanboy. I guess when their campus is that close to UCONN, they can't help themselves. During the selection show, they put a graphic up of statistics in the "last 20 years". What an arbitrary and convenient time to look at statistics that coincide with exactly the time UCONN started winning. Pay no mind that Tennessee was winning championships while UCONN was putting up losing seasons or didn't even have a team.

Fortunately ESPN doesn't have a say in who wins or loses the games actually played on the court.

And to anyone interested in the basketball history the 19 years BEFORE the last 20 years:

Even Kara Lawson who PLAYED for Tennessee doesn't seem to give us any love. It's all good, though. So far, we're still competing since Pat's unfortunate diagnosis. I'll be interested to see how UCONN fares after Geno retires. He'll turn 60 at the start of this tournament. He probably has several years left, but not as many as people think.

good grief >>>If ESPN was in your backyard you would still cry<<<< you complain about pocketbooks ,sneakers, houses ,gay people,homes and etc.give it up,espn doesn't favor anyone..nor do the ref covering the games.sometimes when you can't get your way it's crying time..nice to dream tho.. can't we just enjoy the games period
:whistling:

Maybe the SEC should have signed with ESPN instead of Fox. Sometimes it's easy to forget that despite the NCAA calling this amateur sports, it's a business for all but the players, and that includes the schools. The only rankings ESPN really cares about are the Nielson's.
