NCAA Women's Tournament Selection Show Thread - Tennessee Lady Volunteers, No. 5 seed in Birmingham Region 3

That’s true. The reality is this team’s response was even keeled and locked in. Even a parent from the elite HS recruiting class (Pauldo twins) dad who coaches HS basketball just posted in amazement how the Lady Vols are the only WBB to make every NCAA tournament!
CKC and the LVs are the talk of WBB and this is just year 1.
Lets dance!!
GBO.

I read the comments before I saw the teams reactions and I expected to see some major disfunction! 🤣

Looked pretty normal to me. Different than the previous years with no staff, just players. They seem fine though. Completely overblown reactions by some posters as usual.

Your act is really getting old. I’m not sure what color the sky is in your world but NIL is probably top priority for 90% of recruits.
Saying a lack of NIL hindered Kellie is a fact. It does not diminish the recruiting prowess of CKC and her staff. Nor does it diminish what a great freshman class we have coming in. If, however, I have to hear one more time about them being the #2 class (or really 1 in your nsho ) I am going to stop even looking at this recruiting thread. They are freshmen! They will have an adjustment period! They will show glimpses of being great one game and stink it up the next. Overhyping these young ladies is really unfair to them!
Solid, whatever!

I doubt these athletes care. They’re used to the hype, negative or positive.

Kim Caldwell could had been in Nashville Tennessee supporting her husband for the SEC Championship game. He is an assistant for Rick Barnes right?!?

“supporting” her husband who’s an assistant instead of being with her team during selection? No. If she did I’d jump to meet those on the “FiRe KiM” train 😆

USF won’t score enough to keep up at our pace and OSU has one day to prepare. Nice setup for us to get two wins on the road and head to the S16

We have one day to prepare for them. I would think both teams, to some extent, are already looking at the scouting report for that possible match up.

If we make it to OSU both teams will have 25 turnovers. That could be an all timer of an ugly basketball game.

And take 3 hrs to play. This is why I'm not crazy about this style of play. I get it if you lack talent, but not if you have players capable of actually playing efficient bball without burning legs up by mid February

Wow, no childish glee for making tourney for the 43rd straight year, from a mature upper class led team! OH THE SHAME!

They could really learn how to do it right by
following the lead of our snarky childish fan element playing speculative gossip online.

Interested to see how Molly Miller's 32-2 Grand Canyon team does against Baylor in Spokane.

Miller has been mentioned in almost every job opening including Missouri and Arkansas. Latest word on the court has her as a leading candidate for the Arizona State job. GCU beat ASU this year.

The LVs have a big, experienced professional staff. Plenty of hands. Someone started the OSU scout last night

Advantage us. They magically won’t get in better condition to help manage the second half. Its a big, experienced professional staff. Someone started the OSU scout last night. Plenty of time, plenty of hands.

I doubt OSU, who has been pressing for years, needs magic to get in shape. This should be one of the most even matches we've had all season in terms of conditioning

Dang, still relying on your own analytical skills. Discretion is a terrible thing to waste to simply forward a personal agenda. Value add to the program as a fan? Is that even an objective?

Any estimates on how many times you have repackaged this message this season?

Relax. Just an opinion in reply to a post. LOL bc no one ever repeats their opinion on this forum

BTW another of my repeated opinions is that adding to or detracting fm 'value to the program' by anything said on this forum is delusional and self aggrandizing to the point of being scary. Literally no one in real life cares

Pressing and getting pressed is different. OSU hasn’t played at the pace we expect to go at.

Yeah, hate she was not there, maybe sporting some black leather or leopard skin fashion. Works for some.

Like I said before, maybe she thought there was enough maturity on the squad to appropriately handle the announcement.

Sorry you were disappointed there was no orchestrated giggly celebration for only earning a 5 seed. Kind of fond of businesslike resolve myself.
