I watched UCLA a few days ago.... They showed me very little. I watch several other teams for parts of games, they showed me very little. Now, when you get to the top 20 or so programs, well I see quiet a bit. To me their seems to be a wider gap between the good and the bad teams this year. The way I see it, we fall into the fair range. I have not looked at the seatings yet, but if they fall right, we could go quiet a ways in the tourney. (god forbid, if we do, Holley will be around a while yet)

I include myself in the pitiful lot category. This past weekend I was hoping for mid major 2nd and lower rank mid major teams in women's basketball to lose against their conference's higher seeds in conference championship games. I did all this in hopes that my beloved Lady Vols would continue their streak of making every NCAA tournament since its inception. I don't care how they get in just so they make it. In my heart I feel they are a lock no matter what happened in the women's mid-major championships, however, like many of you, I did not want to take any chances. I had my finger crossed along with my toes and even kept my rabbit foot handy, I even went out and bought a chicken so I could secure a wishbone (Not really, but I thought about it). Even with all of that, I must sit on pins and needles waiting for the Women's NCAA selection show this evening.

Look what has happen to us as Lady Vol fans, for years we didn't worry about the Women's selection show because our Lady Vols already had an NCAA bid locked up even before the end of the SEC basketball season. Now we are left with hoping that mid major teams, with far less talent then we have, lose conference championship games that should be meaningless to Lady Vol fans. Now for the first time we are on the bubble. It is so sad and pitiful that we, as Lady Vol fans are left with hoping and wishing our team will be able to bubble into an NCAA bid. In essence, we are in a sad state of affairs, however, I love my Lady Vols and will continue to hope and wish, that is who we have become.

Truth is Arkansas deserves to be in the NCAA TOURNAMENT more than the Lady Vols do, we at best this year deserved a WNIT bid.

Just 30-40 points? I think Geno wouldn't settle for anything less than 50, and he has the horses to make it so.

Believe me, Gino loves Holly Warlick as the Tennessee Lady Vol head coach. I don’t think he would intentionally run up the score on us.

We Lady Vol Fans Are Becomming A Pitiful Lot - teacher dean - on reading the (pitiful) responses to date for this thread many folks enjoy the negative without understanding the irony of their responses.

I think it is about not giving up something that you have always had. We've never missed an NCAA Tourney with this program and that was important enough to me to hope we found a way even knowing it was by the skin of our teeth that we got there.

Should be a competitive game because the LVs have shown me very little.

Is this wishful thinking or do you really believe that the LV's will beat UCLA and then,
In all probability, Maryland ?

UCLA and Maryland are not that scary. As we have talents to compete against Stanford and Notre Dame, we just need Holly to step aside.

The players have had a lot of time to think about their legacy
They barely earned there way in

they can still write a helluva tale

Just a reminder. The team that beat Stanford (last year) had upperclassmen Russell and Nared on it. When they beat Notre Dame (two years ago) they also had DeShields, in addition to Russell and Nared, on the roster.

If the same UCLA team shows up that almost beat Oregon for the second time this season in the PAC 12 semifinals ts gonna be an ass whooping.

I’ve got UCLA in the Sweet 16. PAC 12 is a good league. They are gonna get 4 to the sweet sixteen

SEC on the other hand I believe it’s gonna get exposed. I expect only 2 make it through.

All you post is true. However, the same could be said about a lot of the teams in the tournament.
What evidence can you point to that would make you believe that we can win the next two games ?
Here are some of the reasons against us winning the next two games.
The LV's best 2 wins this year were against Texas (before conference play) and Missouri. Neither team's final ranking is as high as UCLA's (#20) is. While Maryland finished in the top 10 (#9) in rankings (And we would have to defeat them on their home court).
Our record against the final top 20 ranked teams this year is 0-5.
While I understand a fan wanting, hoping and cheering for us to win the next two games, there's nothing in this team's performance that would make me believe that they will.
If you truly have the belief that they will win the next two games, you should place some of your hard earned money down on the LV's. You could get some mighty favorable odds on that play. But of course, you won't.

I like your outlook, but we will go as far as Holly can coach, unless a miracle happens, we are not going very far. UCLA is better than Alabama and Vandy and we tanked against both. I think it will depend largely upon which team takes the floor. If the ladies decide to play, in spite of Holly's ineptitude, they have the talent to go far, especially if Davis decides it is time to go full bore and take a strong leadership role. If it gets down to coaching wit, then we can kiss our butts goodbye. I hope for the best, and will cross my fingers for a win, but I see one and done.

LV fans are not pitiful. Coaching has been pitiful and CPF giving Holly an extension last summer was pitiful.
Holly should have been shown the door three years ago. Now that is pitiful.

If Holly beats UConn to move into the elite eight, I will never bitch about her again.

If Holly beats Connecticut to move into the Elite 8, the world will never be the same. There would be chaos as all the Holy Bibles currently in circulation would have to be collected and replaced with new, updated versions. I mean, the Miracle of The Day Holly Warlick Out-coached Geno Auriemma would most CERTAINLY have to be added to the scriptures as evidence of the existence of the Divine Power. The Parting of the Red Sea, the Resurrection of Christ, and The Day Holly Warlick Out-Coached Geno Auriemma: WOW!!!!!!!!!
