Lady Vols Fighting Uphill Battle
If you follow women’s college basketball, then you know that the Lady Vols from the University of Tennessee have been a powerhouse for years. Under the guidance of Pat Summitt, they have won the last two titles and are wanting to make it a third. If they are going to do that this year, they will have to accomplish it with just one senior. The squad this year is
made up of all freshman and sophomores to accompany the one senior player. However, that has yet to effect these women. Currently they sit with a 7-2 record.
With that said, it is that 7-2 record that has got them with their backs to the wall. This seems to be a familiar place for these young ladies and it really does not seem to phase them. The last time they lost, they came back and rattled off six straight wins with an average point spread of 21 points. The lowest of these spreads was just 3 points against University of Tennessee @ Chattanooga and 35 points against Louisiana Tech. Today, they got their second loss on the season. I sure would hate to be the next six teams that have to step on the court with this women.
As it sits right now, there is a lot of undefeated teams in the league. Tennessee actually has the ability to control their future. These Lady Vols are as tough as any team I have seen over the years. I will be interested to see how they do.










I like your article, well written but I have no clue about women’s college basketball. Go Lady Vols!
