Huge congrats to the finest up and coming women’s basketball coach in America, Kim Caldwell.
Danny White found a fiercely competitive, humble, Godly, wonderful 36 year old who has the Lady Vols back in the Sweet 16 where they belong as women’s college basketball royalty.
In a weird quirk of how their tournament works, they had to go on the road and play at Ohio State. They started out poorly and were behind. The crowd was going crazy.
They ended up shooting 45% FG to 47% for OSU.
Worse still they ended up shooting under 30% from 3 while OSU shot over 40%.
So how did they win?
Relentless pressure. They switched out the players 3 and 4 at a time and over the course of the game they just wore the Buckeyes down.
What a fun brand of basketball to watch!
She also has a big talent upgrade incoming roster wise (3 top 15 players, and 2 more who are right at top 50 players).
More proof Danny White is a genius at making Tennessee an everything school that is great in many sports.
