This team is a Final Four team. Whether it gets there, I don't know. I'm thrilled to be in and delighted to be hosting. After playing four days in a row in Chattanooga in the SEC tourney, Fanning welcomed a few days off for her players, but she headed out on the recruiting trail and didn't make it back to Starkville, Miss., until last week. She hopes the SEC tournament was a springboard for success in the NCAA tourney.
Success breeds success.
We need to carry over, and our expectations need to increase. They clearly have stepped up. I like how they have responded after time-outs. That seemed to be a reference to the SEC title game against Mississippi State when the Lady Vols were down 10 and let an MSU player score uncontested. Summitt hurled her clipboard during the time-out.
