Windy's basketball discussion thread

Like everyone who bleeds orange, I was deflated by the Lady Vols loss to Kentucky in the SEC tournament. The KYs gelled in the tournament, knocking off top ranked SoCar to become tournament champs.
 
From ESPN:

7. Tennessee Volunteers (23-7)
Previous ranking:
10
This week: SEC tournament
Very few teams nationally are playing better than the Vols right now. They've won 12 of their past 14 games since getting blown out at Kentucky, a stretch that includes wins over Auburn, Kentucky, Arkansas and LSU. The lone losses came at Texas (by one point) and at Arkansas. The numbers back it up, too. Since Feb. 1, Tennessee has been the fifth-best team in the country according to BartTorvik.com's metrics. It has been elite defensively all season, but over the past five weeks, it's in the top 30 nationally offensively too. It's not enough to jump off the page, but it's more than enough when you haven't allowed a team to score more than one point per possession since Feb. 1. This is a legitimate SEC tournament title and Final Four contender.
