It’s weird that we are most likely going to start 8-0 in SEC play but this team still feels very flawed.

Not weird at all when you consider who they've played in the SEC. Which is what makes all this talk about how Kellie must know what she's doing with her idiotic lineup decisions because they're winning games against hapless unranked teams absolutely comical....

How blue did the unis look in person? Seemed kinda purple on my little screen.

Completely blue, maybe a tiny bit lighter than in the picture of the coaches. They looked really, really good.

Although the players quickly and reliably found a way to alter them. Rolling the waistband, which is all the rage now, revealed a black band that almost looked like they were wearing a black belt.

I just came across this fun interview with LVFL Bashaara Graves. The best part starts about 10:13 into it if you want to start there.

One of my favorite LVs of all time! I remember how heartbroken she was when they lost to Syracuse in the E8 her senior year. Definitely wish she would have made a FF at least once in her career. She was so close. Great player with a huge heart.

From her IG page, it seems like she's done great for herself and had some great global experiences, even if a WNBA career wasn't in the cards from her.

These next 2 weeks are going to be stressful! Florida and Missouri this week, and then an at home game against an unknown, yet familiar UCONN. On paper, UCONN should win, but roster availability and talent, I think TN should win, also with it being at home favors us more. We will have to see. Will we finally break the streak of losses to UCONN? Then to top that off, we go to LSU, not sure how that one will pan out. I feel we are more talented that them, but we will have to see.

So by ESPNs math we sit at 14-6 with 11 to go before the tournament. Herhoopstats predicts that we finish 8-3 in these games and 22-9 overall --- a nice result considering how we started. However, I only see three 90%+ confidence wins left on the schedule (UF, VU, AUB) and there are a couple toss ups (atMizzou, atARK). Uhhh, that's a tough finish.

On the bright side HHS does not have us getting blown out in any game. They have us losing to Conn by 5, atLSU by 9, and SC by 11. I'd love to knock off at least 1 of these 3 to show the NCAA committee that we're legit

Who left is going to play a man to man defense against us? We should be getting real good at attacking a zone. Georgia had one of the best I've seen. I figure Florida will come in with a zone and Missouri better play one of we'll dominate them on offense. if we can win those two here come UConn and then off to LSU. Hopefully we catch UConn playing a game like yesterday when they only put up 65 points on Georgetown and won by 15 in a game they were favored by 37. The second half of the SEC much tougher than the first. I'm looking at 13 and 3 and if we beat UConn 9 and 6 would get us to 22 and 9 and a first two rounds bye in the SEC Tourney. Win a couple there 24 wins and then off to the NCAA survive an advance. I am just describing the minimum I still believe we can win 15 SEC games with the loss coming at LSU.

Tennessee received 19 votes to be a top 25 team this week, the most since we’ve been on this trend. Another week of 2 wins should be enough to get us to at least number 25 before we play “barfconn.”

I’m sure the Husky inclined voters will recognize an opportunity to vote them up to enable a top 25 billing.

It's a bit ridiculous Tennessee isn't back in the top 25 at this point. They're in the top 25 in every rating system I know: #12 at HHS, #17 in the NET, #18 RPI, and #23 at Massey. They have the #3 Strength of Schedule and they've won 7 in a row and 9 of the last 10, with the only loss by 7 on the road to Stanford.

Winning at Missouri this week is critical to give us a 3rd Q1 win in the NET.
