The women's basketball team bowed out of the SEC tournament tonight after a 57-50 loss to Kentucky. For the first time in five years, the girls won't make it to the semifinals of the tournament.
What happened to our team? Going into the year it looked like we were stacked. A talented backcourt, an experienced frontline, and a seasoned star in Tasha Humphrey should have added up to a deep run in the NCAAs. The team can still pull it together for the big dance, but it looks like Andy Landers will have to cast a spell on them and turn them into a team that gives a damn. We've got talent, we just don't have the want.
Pat Summitt, meanwhile, walks her dog with more intensity than anything our team's done all year. No, seriously. She dislocated her shoulder attacking a raccoon who dared to look at her dog sideways. This is both the greatest Tennessee sports story ever and the scariest women's basketball story ever. If your coach is willing to attack a raccoon to protect her dog, imagine how she'd treat you if you don't box out against UConn.
"Bring it, Summitt."Maybe Andy should fight a opossum who's trying to get into his pomade to show the girls what desire looks like.
