It's mid-December, and the Lady Vols are finally venturing outside Knox County.
LIVE STATS: GEOCITIES WOULD BE PROUD
Let's address the gorilla in the room first: the losses against Texas and Virginia Tech. Defensively, the Lady Vols are fine; holding a top 10 opponent to 64 points, and a top 25-ish to 57 should be sufficient for this much talent to win a game. The issues are all on offense, where Tennessee seems to be stuck in neutral. Since everybody's handing out judgments on the root cause (coaching and desire seem to be the top two options), here's mine: I suspect that it's a team of players who aren't used to setting up other players on offense, and they didn't get the hang of it in practice.
