This year’s light schedule of home games against less talented teams is by design.  We needed time to work in four freshmen (Davis, Hayes, Kushkituah, and Westbrook) and a RS junior JUCO post (Green).  With only 5 returning players (two starters) and no returning point guard these new players had to immediately make major contributions.  The light schedule has given the Lady Vols time to work them into the rotation.  And the freshmen have stepped up.  Examples:  Hayes is the No. 3 player in the Nation (this week) in getting to the free throw line.  She is also the fastest player I have seen at Tennessee, including Bobbit.  Westbrook has embraced the starting point guard role and is becoming  a proficient ball distributor and reader of defenses, and Davis has a couple of double-doubles and SEC Freshman of the week under her belt.  Green is a rebounding machine.

Cupcake time is over.  We face Texas this Sunday and Stanford and Kentucky on the road this month.  Then the SEC season that includes home-and-home games with SC and TAMU.

I won’t make a prediction for Sunday’s game with Texas except to say that some shade of orange will win the game.  I am just going to sit back and enjoy what will be a very good game no matter how it ends.
