Well, it was a scary start to the season. There were already questions about the state of the Tennessee Lady Vols. After all, they were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Then they lost three starters. Finally, they brought in a new head coach in Kellie Harper who has a mixed track record of success.
When you take all of that into account, only winning by four against a team that went 10-21 last year in the Southern Conference can be a big concern. Even in Johnson City, UT should not be struggling like that about ETSU.
