Tennessee

A little bit of off-season news. Senior Jessie Rennie had knee surgery. Tennessee number 4 in ESPN Way too early poll. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/34086750/women-college-basketball-way-too-early-top-25-2022-23

Hate to hear the reasons why she's stepping away but understandable. There is far more to life than basketball. She has to put first things first. Maybe she comes back next season.

Well said. You hate to see a player, coach, or us regular folks, stepping away from doing something we love. However, there is more to life than basketball, in the case of Ms. Suarez. I wish her all the best in her future goals.

oh bless her she is handling a lot now

To be transparent to those who click into this thread, Marta's mother is battling Breast Cancer back in Spain and Marta is home (and continuing her studies remotely) so we all wish her the best.

TN beginning to put the pieces together. Looking far better than the first month of the season. Per Kellie the Stanford game gave them some confidence.

I still go back to a comment Kellie made a bit ago. Her best MSU teams started off bad I think the S16 team was 1-7, but as the season goes on the team grew and grew.

As much as I’m excited for TN Uconn or USC, I’m most excited to see them at LSU. Will be interesting.

UT is doing what I figured they would, which is be a force in the SEC. The conference isn't that good this year. SC is of course top of the line. I will be curious how UT looks against LSU and Ark. Those are the likely 2-4 teams.

Beyond that I really don't know if anyone in the league is capable of winning a tournament first round game.

A lot of conferences are down this year , SEC , B10 , B12 and Big East are very very soft with only 1-3 strong teams some only have 1 strong team.

B10

Big 10?

Ohio State, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois is a heck of a group of teams

But the SEC will be a cakewalk for TN relative to their OOC schedule.

No, as @SECbbfan24 noted, the Big10 is loaded with 6 teams who would give anyone a good game and the Big East is the strongest it’s been since when UConn left in 2016 with 5 very good teams behind them-SJU, SH, Villanova, Marquette and Creighton.

Tennessee and Vandy is always a treat. Those two battle later today.

I will take the B10 being strong but the Big East i cannot . There's one strong team being UCONN . Everyone else in the conference has taken a step back from last season. Creighton and Villanova are not as good as they were last year. St Johns is still has the jury out .

After the display Tennessee put on tonight playing A&M, I’ll eat a shoe if Tennessee beats UConn this season.

I don't wanna hear crap outta Knoxville for awhile.

Oh but you will. Remember they are some of the most delusional fans in the history of WCBB.
