Yes, if you pick Tennessee to win over UCONN!
Can we even go past Baylor?
Wouldnt that mean that TN made it not only to a final four but also a national championship game? Which would be an accomplishment in itself? Maybe I am a homer if I get excited of the thought we get that far 🤔 not saying we will but the thought does intrigue me hmmmmmmm
I dislike Geno but fully respect and would give my left nut if Holly was doing what he has done. But she never will. Nor will anyone. But she will never win a head to head with him.
Where else could you have a mediocre season, finishing middle of the pack in the SEC, and get 2 home games in the NCAA tournament? Bring in 3 or 4 McDonalds All Americans again this year and do it again. Being the head coach of UT women is a great job!

The Lady Vols get to host the first two rounds of the tournament just about every year because of two reasons. The size of Thompson Boling arena and the size of their passionate fan base. It's not about the quality of play any more.
That's just not true. Their #9 RPI and #8 SOS is why the LVs are hosting this year. They played a tougher schedule than most and have more quality wins than most, which is why they held on to the 3 seed, despite the inexplicable losses. ND is a 1 seed instead of Baylor for the same reason-- #1 RPI and #1 SOS. Mulkey and Frese downgraded their scheduling and their seeding went down, too.
Other teams received more preferential seeding than UT. One more win and a more positive perception and they'd probably be a 2 seed.
I wasn't trying to imply they host because they're UT. They host because of the venue size and chance for highest attendance. It's not a slam on UT, it's a slam on the women's selection committee. If it was based on RPI and SOS, why is Georgia hosting with a RPI of 26 and a SOS of 51? South Florida should be hosting with 14 RPI and 24 SOS instead of Ga. How do you think Duke must feel?
