True we all got caught up in winning and saw this team for more than they really are. We actually were winning with defense and rebounding the offense has been for the most part terrible all season. Now that the defense has went away for a few games team is losing. If they want to win again better get back to playing hard nose defense and crashing the boards.

I expected better..... there are many examples of teams of "lesser ranking" battling head to head with teams that are better on paper....

Mizzou did well vs South Carolina with lower ranked players and their leading scorer not even playing earlier this year.

and i think of Holly's higher ranked teams losing several straight years to Alabama and their lesser roster.

I figure we will probably lose more than we win the rest of the way and possibly out of the tournament in the first weekend since we lost Tamari Key for the season. We can’t fill that void on offense or defense.

Every team had a bad part of their seasons. I've watch sports a long time and a team can be winning and for a couple weeks they just can't win. This is what is happening to Tennessee right now. They will get there mojo back soon. I believe they will start Thursday with Missouri. They only have two close games left LSU and South Carolina. As always go Lady Vols.

The gap was clearly evident against Stanford and UConn, and will be again when they play South Carolina. Of course we could also break down the recruiting rankings of Auburn and Florida's rosters.

What team(s) of comparable or better rated recruits has Tennessee beaten this season? Texas?

I will never understand how we could beat the two championship game teams Miss St and S. Carolina on the road and couldn’t do better in the tourney that year. That was the year that got the natives restless as we were the best team in the country. 2017

Wait, you've been saying for months and months that Kellie's recruits are mid-major quality players. So, the answer to your question should be: Every P-5 team that we've beaten.

I think the recruiting ranking numbers are very enlightening. It really is close to what I expected. What I see as a major problem is that the roster is poorly assembled. To many players are on the roster that have redundant skill sets. How many under sized forwards does a team need? To me Puckett Striplin and Marta are the same skill set. Darby and Dye are both 6 feet 1 or less. One is athletic and one is a better shooter, one is undersized and quicker for defense and rebounding, the other small with inadequate lateral quickness. Two small PG one who is a mini mite. Walker can play off guard with Rae or Horston. Horston can play 3 or 4 but physically gets beat all to heck under the basket but rebounds and defends with her 6-2 size. Our offense goes thru Horston and she is our best defender on the perimeter, she is worked to death in the zone chasing open shooters, and spends a part of her close to 40 minutes getting mugged under the basket with her slender body build. On top of that she has to sometimes be our primary ball handler on the press. Our true post has no backup unless 6-2 Puckett gets put in in the small package. Marta has been absent close to 2 years and I wonder how much rust her game has. Rae looks unstable on her injured leg as the announcers finally said more than once during the process. She lost a step as far as quickness and sometimes falls on cuts. She shoots a great outside ball but defenses will force her to drive the basket and she is not effective. No bigs in this years class, KJH better work the portal

I don’t even follow Women’s BB but this is just so typical of any Vol fan.

1.) Expect the world
2.) Have success and feel substantiated
3.) Fail and rage
4.) Justify failure
5.) See step 1
