The staff did a great job getting a game on short notice. I don’t understand why so many complain about the opponent during a not so conventional year. With Covid you take any opponent you can get in order to get live action for your team. The men’s team has been a perfect example of that. It’s evident that Kellie is willing to play tougher opponents considering she took the team to Indiana on short notice but let’s face it the only way we are getting those matchups this year is on the road. Very few top 25 teams are going to be willing to come to Knoxville on short notice especially when they have more to lose by a loss to the Lady Vols. This will be a great game to get the bench extended minutes if they come out and play to their potential from the tip.
Agreed! It would be hard to have Arizona, Ohio State, or the like to come to Knoxville. It may have been fun to take Jordan home though. Arizona would have been another fun game someone mentioned but i don’t know if their school would have paid to come to knoxville or TN to fly out when the texas game got cancelled on their dime already.
