@Alabama, then Ark and ND all in a week. Season has the potential to get really ugly.

who do we play next?

Alabuba, the team I just watched loose by 20 something to Texas A&M but somehow have beaten the UT women's basketball team a few times over the last few games! They can also take back the Lady Vols moniker for this team and coaches like Pat used to take away their uniforms because all of them haven't earned the right to wear the Lady Vols!

I keep asking myself how can this team be collectively such terrible field goal and free throw shooters? When one of them has a bad night, most of the rest of the team also does. The game was close only because of Westbrook's efforts.

The Holly Folly is now into year 7 and as a long time Lady Vol fan and supporter I stopped watching or caring 2 years back
My LADY VOLS WEBLOG - dedicated to my mother who I took to games in her 90's - finally shut down in 2015

Even Paul Finebaum has callers today - older women disturbed by the deteriorating situation.

The situation is so bad I can't even think of it anymore

PAT only lost 4 SEC games in 5 of 37 seasons
HOLLY's last 3 full seasons saw 19 SEC losses and the current trend will make this one even worse

2015–16 22–14 8–8 T–7th
2016–17 20–12 10–6 5th
2017–18 25–8 11–5 T-4th
HOLLY 58 LOSSES overall
HOLLY 28 SEC LOSSES IN 6 FULL SEASONS
PLUS 3 THIS YEAR *so far

PAT SUMMITT would play the toughest schedule possible every year
and over her career in the NCAA era
1985–86 24–10 5–4 5th NCAA Final Four
1986–87 28–6 6–3 T–4th NCAA Champions
1987–88 31–3 8–1 2nd NCAA Final Four
1988–89 35–2 8–1 2nd NCAA Champions
1989–90 27–6 8–1 1st
1990–91 30–5 6–3 3rd NCAA Champions
1991–92 28–3 10–1 2nd
1992–93 29–3 11–0 1st
1993–94 31–2 11–0 1st
1994–95 34–3 11–0 1st NCAA Runner-up
1995–96 32–4 9–2 2nd NCAA Champions
1996–97 29–10 8–4 5th NCAA Champions
1997–98 39–0 14–0 1st NCAA Champions
1998–99 31–3 13–1 1st
1999–00 33–4 13–1 T–1st NCAA Runner-up
2000–01 31–3 14–0 1st
2001–02 29–5 13–1 1st NCAA Final Four
2002–03 33–5 14–0 1st NCAA Runner-up
2003–04 31–4 14–0 1st NCAA Runner-up
2004–05 30–5 13–1 2nd NCAA Final Four
2005–06 31–5 11–3 2nd
2006–07 34–3 14–0 1st NCAA Champions
2007–08 36–2 13–1 2nd NCAA Champions
2008–09 22–11 9–5 5th
2009–10 32–3 15–1 1st
2010–11 34–3 16–0 1st
2011–12 27–9 12–4 2nd

16 FINAL FOURS IN 32 NCAA YEARS
44 SEC LOSSES IN 32 YEARS
208 TOTAL LOSSES IN 37 YEARS

Over 36 years Holly would have 324 losses vs 208 if she does not get worse than her current trend and average.

Lady Vols looking to regroup from losing streak

"This three-game skid is the latest example of Tennessee's recent downward trajectory. The Lady Vols posted a 42-6 SEC record in Warlick's first three seasons but have gone 30-22 in league competition since."

This should not be acceptable for any Tennessee sport. We can not even do better than a 30-22 record against SEC teams in the last 3+ years with Top 5 recruiting classes during the same period??
