Zaay Green is out for the year. That did not stop the Tennessee Lady Vols from going 10-deep in their win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the road Monday night and playing eight players for at least 14 minutes.
Without Green, Kellie Harper did something that had eluded this program for years. She relied on points in the paint. Her team focused on controlling the tempo, using its size, and dominating inside. Sure, Rennia Davis was the star, Jazmine Massengill deserves credit for replacing the loss of Green at the point, and Jordan Horston had another breakout game.
