Having passed the first test of the season with flying colors, the Lady Vols now test their road game out in San Antonio as they play the ESPN Classic against Texas Tech. Unlike Baylor, Tech is built on small, speedy players who, while not nearly as highly rated as Baylor's, should give Tennessee a completely different kind of challenge. On Sunday, Tennessee outran Baylor; today, Tennessee must run at least as fast as the tempo that Texas Tech is likely to use.
Tech appears to have no answer for Tennessee's uber-center Kelley Cain, who should again be the focus of the offense. So long as she doesn't get in early foul trouble (again), Tennessee should have no trouble finding good looks at the basket and getting the rebounds the Summitt values so highly.
Discipline: Two Lady Vols (Alyssia Brewer and Kamiko Williams) will not be present for what sounds like missed classes on Monday. Alyssia bears watching, as she has already felt Summitt's ire this year for a lack of effort in the preseason. She's one of ours and needs our support, but she also needs to stop giving reasons for Summit to be mad.

Anyway, if you love the Vols, this is the place. I should know, I have ripped off more stuff from Joel, Hooper, and Will than just about anyone on the web…

So when I read this quote, “You know, the thing about the South is that supposedly we make and love sweet tea. And it rhymes with my name, so the guys went with it,” I first thought he said, “We make love and sweet tea.”

Pearl made a huge deal about constantly passing the ball – even if they didn’t see a reason to. His theory is that passing opens things up, but holding the ball doesn’t.
