I'd love to get revenge on that Georgia loss. Then revenge that Stanford loss also in the final 4. Then take out undefeated UCONN for the title. Yeah right. Just at least get to the last 4 and this team will be back on par with past Summitt teams. And we can forget last year.

Momma that man called me a beast! Let's be civil and just say she is a major obstacle to overcome besides Appel. They ran the floor last time and our post ladies were slow in transition. Playem one at atime and keep the pedal to the medal!!! Go Lady Vols!!!

Didn't we already beat Baylor early in the season? Anyway, it'll be interesting as to how it's all set up............the committee's thinking about who they want facing off in the N C game.

My only concern is:

1. PG handling the ball
2. Cain not imitating Chism and
picking up quick. Early fouls and
having to sit for long stretch
3. Angie knocking down some big 3's
4. Help off the bench, Williams etc
5. Don't go down the floor and have
empty possessions, turnovers,
unforced, etc.
6. One of Pat's favorites...rebounding
