Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt said Wednesday that guard Cait McMahan will not play Thursday at Old Dominion.
The redshirt sophomore point guard's surgically repaired right knee has been acting up and she is sidelined indefinitely.

Seriously? You ask that in a Lady Vols injury report?
But no, I haven't heard anything on it.

We will miss you Cait. You have got to get better and stay on the court. The Lady Vols should be alright. We have some talented ladies that can do the job. Bass should see more time with Cait out and she is very good.
Go L.Vols!

Ummm, this doesn't sound like good news for Cait. Hopefully it is not too serious though. Hard to tell with those knee problems. Wish her well.
GO Vols !!

The title to this article made it seem like a rules' violation. Maybe "Injury Sidelines McMahan"????

Gosh, I hope we get well soon. We need all the nice breaks we can get for this stretch of games. Hopefully we won't get the 'whistle-happy' officiating team again. Eleven years ago we went into Norfolk ranked 9th to play 2nd-ranked ODU We lost that game by 11 points thanks in part to a foul fest. The Lady Vols had built up a 10-point lead against the Colonials to start the 2nd half when the stripies got happy and called 6 consecutive fouls on the Orange on 1 minute and 18 seconds. When the dust had cleared our lead had disappeared and ODU led by 2 points. With 3 minutes remaining in the game, the point guard, Laurie Milligan and Tif Johnson and Pashen Thompson had fouled out of the game. ODU did not score another field goal but scored its last 10 points from the charity stripe. Holdsclaw score a team-high 27 points in the 6th loss of the season and the 2nd consecutive road loss having fallen to UConn in the previous game.
I said all that to say this: The number 11 may be of significance. That same season the 10th/11th-ranked Lady Vols got revenge in a glorious way by coming back in post-season to upset then #1 UCan't, and went on the knock out that same ODU team in the title winning its back2back National Championship. The point guard, Kellie Jolly, was huge with 11 assists. ODU point guard, Tisha Penicheiro was forced into 11 turnovers by freshmen guards, Niya Butts and Kyra Elzy.
Never fear, our 11th-ranked Baby Vols will bounce back. We are getting so much press for being a 'lower-ranked' team. Read this, you doubters, and know we sometimes save our best for last.

Amen, 98reax!!!!!
As Pat brings the Baby Lady Vols along, we will take some lumps but each bruise will teach a lesson not to be forgotten. The SEC season should be more competitive but we will still win, not Vandy or Auburn.
The NCAA will REALLY be interesting.
GO BABY LADY VOLS---OUR FUTURE CHAMPIONS!!!
