I don’t know anything but what I’ve witnessed with my own two eyes. Go watch all the presses. Kellie finds her annoying and Maria frequently mentions she knows she’s only allowed 2 questions. Didn’t just make that up outta nowhere. The pressers are much better since she was out on a leash. She used to dominate the entire thing, which is fine, but nobody else was getting any questions in! Including AP and national media.

I am fine with a reasonable number of “cupcakes because:
All top programs schedule several of these games a year. Consequently, it does not hurt your ranking or seeding. If we played the top 10 schools and went 7-3 or 6-4 it would hurt us worse than having a few lopsided wins.
It gives the freshmen a chance to play a lot of minutes. It gives the staff a little more time to work on our team without too much time spent on game planning.
It gives kids from smaller programs a chance to play some prominent programs. Hopefully the kids you played today will have some fun memories of playing on The Summit in front of a big crowd against players they’ll see in the WNBA one day. Fun to say one day watching tv”yeah, I played against Key when I was in college”.
You mentioned Texas as the only worthy team but USF and UCF are predicted to make the tourney. Even with their losses so is VA Tech will probably make it. Schedule those with Uconn and stanford along with the SEC schedule and it is what it is.
YES I enjoyed watching Brooke come into her own, Sara continuing to mature, and Key dominate in effective fashion.
The question is tell me you rather go back to the days where these types of games were a dog fight until the 4th quarter!
Also please tell me you're not enjoying the growth of the freshmen right in front of your eyes
Like I said if this is what we have to b!tch about im here for it

Colorado, North Carolina and Nebraska are all about to hit a brick wall in conference play. None of them have played a quality team yet. None of them even have a quality team scheduled OOC.
All 3 of those teams are primed for long losing streaks in conference play. They have some confidence right now but it’s going to get torched when they get beat by 30 by their first real opponent.

Really enjoy the people that live game by game in determining how good a team is. Any team can lose on a given day against a lot of teams out there. Just because A&M lost to TCU doesn't mean they might not go home against any SEC team and win that game. Any given day everything can go wrong for a team and on a given day everything can go right then there is somewhere in the middle. Anytime you go on the road you better be ready to bring it because those are the games when you are most vulnerable against any opponent.
Ok I get it you enjoy easy W’s where everyone gets to play. We all want little Rennie to play we all want Emily to play. But these games are not going to get national attention why would the HS kids considering UCONN SC Stanford etc come to UT when they have to pay an extra $6.99 on some + network or streaming service just to watch us playYou mentioned Texas as the only worthy team but USF and UCF are predicted to make the tourney.

LOL it's so funny because the three teams you mentioned are on the schedule. Two scheduled purposely. EVERY top team plays these sort of games on their schedule.
Also, if you noticed teams like ND and UNC won't play us during the regular season for whatever reason and they were supposed to be on the schedule.
Sorry for your luck but i get SEC network so i don't pay an extra subscription. BUT also any recruit is going to do their due diligence if they really want to know about a school.
Look at Ashlynn shade it didn't take these games to get her on campus twice using her own money ... she is a top recruit right
We get it though, you were bored watching our Lady Vols. To your answer question I know some of the top talent were liking posts about the win... so social media helps
My original statement remains if this is what fans are b!tching about and not kellie, or how the girls look, or unacceptable losses i'm here for it

Losing all respect for Massey’s Ratings, NC just beat a team with a ranking of 305, by 61 points, so NC gained 2 spots in their ranking and are now ranked #3 in the country with a strength of schedule of 102. I know it‘s supposed to change as time goes by, but this is ridiculous. It also gave them a good seed in bracketology, and once high there, it’s hard to fall out.
Nebraska has done the same thing. They are ranked #11 in the country, with a strength of schedule of 171, and also have a midrange seed in bracketology.
For comparison, Tennessee is ranked #8, with a strength of schedule of 11.
Power Rankings Is showing Tennessee respect, we are now ranked #4 in the country, and are said to be contenders for the Final Four.
GO LADY VOLS!!!
