I'll also say that our talent level is higher than anyone remaining on our schedule, save SC. Against SC the talent level will be about equal.

Regardless of where you think this team is that should be a 8-3 likely finish at Very Worst 6-5

Also with our SOS and SOW we would make the tourney at .500

By my count there are 10 games remaining. Your range of 6-8 wins though is very reasonable.

I'll take a shot, but I'll admit it's a stab in the dark. I only watch the LV's, so I don't know much about the match ups, and in basketball its all about the match ups. For example, I'm going to take the LV's against UK because UK plays man to man. On the other hand we may lose to some inferior teams that play zone, if we don't change our approach to the 3 point shot.

Kentucky - W
Miss. St - L
Alabama - W
Texas A&M - L
Vanderbilt - L
South Carolina - L
Ole Miss - W
LSU- W
Alabama - W
Georgia - W

So I have a 6-4 finish, with a lot of uncertainty.

I see 5-5 with Ole Miss as a question mark, if they play the way they played Kentucky.

On a prior post asking if any one would fire Holly IF the LV's went on a run and qualified for the NCAA tourney, we should not even be to that point. With top 3 talent and seven 5 star players, we should not be asking that question it really should be, will we be a 1 or 2 seeding in the tourney? Since it is what it is, if I was Hart, and the LV's qualified for the tourney, I would see how the team played in the tourney, their seeding, how they played all season, consider her donut for 2016, team chemistry and Holly's ineffective offense. I would tell Holly that she needed at least a top 5 recruiting class for 2017, the team had to remain in the top ten for next year, the team must beat teams they are suppose to beat, and no close games against cupcakes. If she is unable to meet those demands, I would dismiss her within next season or at the conclusion thereof.

If she fails to make the tourney this year, I would fire her at the close of the season. The question is where are the recruits that can help us improve for next season? What has Holly done to make one believe that she will be a different coach next season? However, with all that said, Dave is not going to fire Holly. She will be the Lady Vol coach next year and no matter how bad the LV's play, and she recruits, Holly Homers will be over joyed.

The team is too difficult to predict. They have the talent to win all their remaining games, but are also undisciplined enough to lose most of them. I suspect the mediocrity of the SEC will save Holly, just as it has her first three seasons, and they should still make the tournament pretty easily.

If the wheels did come completely off and they should happen to miss the tournament, then Holly's fate should no longer be up for debate even from Hart's perspective...

Seems to me the original post of predictions has some credibility. And for those that are calling the postings negative , shouldn't the readers be allowed to post and read the truth. It isn't that we don't love our Vols any less, it's that we to have an opinion for change.
