I read it. Summary: RJ appreciates tough love once she trusts someone, and that they have her best interests at heart. She felt that from Vic Shaefer but did not in all the turmoil at Miss. St. in the two following years. She has that trust again now with Kellie and it sounds like Coach Sam, and feels like she's playing the best basketball of her career because of it.

Thanks, yes, she's said this a couple of times. Happy to hear, sorry that trust didn't happen in the six months btw her committment and the actual season. Would have saved alot of heartache. Nice timing for a much needed boost for KJH now though.

RJ was previously playing her best ball during the SEC tourney her freshman yr where she was on fire. Then covid ended the season and Vic flew the coup. Long strange road to here but it would make a really nice bookend for her to burn up the SEC tourney again this year.

What if the Lady Vols ended up winning the rest of their regular SEC games, best SC at home, and stormed into the SEC tournament overcoming both LSU and SC again to win the SEC tourney! (Waking up dreaming) wishful thinking, but that would be so cool lol.

Really think they should just do away with the AP and coaches polls and use the Net. If that’s what the committee is using that should be the standard.

At this point there are 2-3 teams in the top 25 poll I wouldn’t be shocked if they didn’t make the tournament. That will certainly make those polls look like the joke that they are at this point.

TN back up to #18 in The Net.

To me, all the polls show that strength of schedule isn’t weighed fairly, when you see a team with a ridiculously easy schedule, such as LSU has, ranked #3.

I think just winning counts as much as anything. A lot of teams up there that haven't beat any better teams than we have yet they have won more have a better record. I think record is counting as much as anything.

Women's Bracketology: Colorado climbs into top 16

Still a seven in the Creme Bracketology. Villanova a four seed only played two ranked teams lost both games. We all know about LSU. Colorado now a four seed we won by 18. I think we should be at least a five but we need to win some more games evidently to move up.

Also noticed a team we played which I thought at the time was just a filler game, Wofford, has just been added to “bracketology”.
We’re back in the Indiana part of the brackets, so far, but no telling how the real brackets will look.

"Tennessee was ranked fourth at the start of the season but struggled with consistency and fell out of the rankings last month, ending a string of 565 consecutive weeks in the Top 25. Tennessee hadn't been unranked since February 1985."

Sadly, it's commonplace now, not to be ranked. Interestingly, we started out ranked #4 in 2016, just like we did this year.

Playing the LSU schedule we wouldn't had more than three losses even if we played really bad a couple of games. That would easily be a top ten ranking. If you are going to schedule as strong as we did you better make sure you have a team that can handle it. Turns out we didn't and LSU knew they didn't either. They were a lot smarter than we were.

The ARK game thread is going to be interesting as far as predictions. I mean what do you make out of their last 10 games? Which Ark shows up, the solid team that crushed Mizzu or the basement dweller that lost to VU?
Click to expand...
Since it is a home game should be expecting the team that crushed Missouri. It is an easy game to figure. We have to dominate the boards and have less turnovers than they do will get a win. We come in with a sloppy 23 turnover game like Miss St another loss with be what we'll come home with.

Nice little vlog:

Seeeee I mentioned like months ago that they neverrrr show our alumni at the games on TV, yet I always see when other alums are in the building for other teams. I only knew Diamond was at the UCONN game because they mentioned her. I really wish they would let us know when the players are at the games and show them on TV! 😩
