Not completely sure but I think you're saying the NCAA really wants to invite the LVs for legacy reasons. I disagree, I think that was last year. That courtesy invite blew up like a lead balloon. If Creme is any indication, they are really down on the LVs this season. He's moved the bar back constantly. Gotta win just one more, three times. Maybe he's not indicative of the Selection Comm, I sure hope not because I fear they actually don't want the LVs in this year.Tennessee legacy playing in this tourney solidify
the Lady Vols place this year and add to this that
Coach Kellie has upset several teams last year add to them or her not being invited.
Not inviting the Vols to the NCAAT is like not inviting
Obama to the Democratic General Convention , its5 just not happening.
I don’t think it totally blew in their face considering we only lost by what 2 to UCLA who made a huge run. Not that bad for a 10 seedNot completely sure but I think you're saying the NCAA really wants to invite the LVs for legacy reasons. I disagree, I think that was last year.

Thanks for this thread, gives us something to do while we're waiting.
98, last year courtesy was to Holly and don't dismiss my second reason. But hoping they do get in.Not completely sure but I think you're saying the NCAA really wants to invite the LVs for legacy reasons. I disagree, I think that was last year.

Nah I’ll take the LVs in the NCAA first.
If we have to sit around sweating out mid-major tournaments in hopes that we can back into the tournament by default, then we truly are desperate. And "the streak" has become meaningless.
We weren't just barely making it into the tournament for its first 30 years. We were competing for championships each year. We were relevant.
The streaks that really showed our consistency as a power have already ended...being ranked, every 4-year player competing in a Final Four, SEC banners, etc...are history. If we were a top 30 team, that would be different even while being an indictment of how far we've fallen.
The pride 8n making the tournament was not just being there but being a competitive threat. Just making a token appearance is so far removed from our legacy that, IMO, it doesn't really count. It's extremely embarrassing to hear all this pity focus from announcers obsessing over whether we'll "get in" instead of whether we'll win it all.
If we just want game experience, the WNIT is available. I'm more concerned with our getting back to relevance as an elite program than maintaining a meaningless streak unless we're prepared to prove we belong by winning at least two games.
