Tennessee could miss its 1st women's NCAA Tournament after closing season with 7 straight losses
Tennessee has lost 10 of its last 12 games and faces a challenge securing an NCAA Tournament bid despite strong early wins and a tough schedule, coach Caldwell said.
- On Thursday, Tennessee lost 76-64 to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, trailing by as much as 17 and falling to 16-13 with 10 losses in 12 under second-year coach Kim Caldwell.
- Their late-season form has included Talaysia Cooper's removal and Deniya Prawl's absence due to concussion protocol, Caldwell said.
- The resume shows Caldwell said Tennessee played the hardest schedule in the country, with NET-ranked wins over Stanford, Alabama, and Kentucky, and a senior commented 'People weren't ready' in Thompson-Boling Arena.
- Whether Tennessee makes a 43rd consecutive NCAA Tournament remains to be seen, and if selected, it would be more than a month since its last win.
- Looking to the committee, Tennessee's at-large case rests on a tough schedule with 15 quad-1 games and early wins, while Wynn wrote, 'This decision was not made lightly or instantly'.
