What a ride the last 8 years have been. To be able to coach and represent a program like The University of Louisville(my hometown) has been an honor! Thank you Card Nation for your unwavering support, it has been amazing to witness the growth of Women’s Basketball in Louisville!
Not the outcome we wanted but couldn’t be more grateful and proud of this crew. Truly defined the term ‘Next Woman Up’. Thank you seniors Rae, Snoop, and Keyen for everything you did for Tennessee Women’s Basketball. You are

In a world where everything feels transactional, remember: Relationships Matter! It's the love we share, the family we cherish. You don’t always have to tell your side of the story…TIME WILL! Great to see Kellie out in Colorado for 18u USA Basketball trials. ❤️

College Game Day has only covered a Women’s Basketball game 2 other times before today. Tennessee has been a part of 2 of the 3. The brand of the Tennessee Lady Vols is a powerful thing. If you know, you know.

I know it’s sports and not to minimize world events, but my heart goes out to all the student-athletes whose senior seasons both in HS and college had to end so abruptly. When you’ve played and given all you’ve had to the game, it’s tough.
Ladies and gentlemen this is a great example of what kind of fans support the Louisville program. We don’t ask him to do this but he dedicates his time to creating graphics like this! Somebody needs to hire him! 🔥🔥🔥
Shout out to the Lady Vol fans that cheered us on in Nashville or the TV. This team has a lot left despite the adversity all season. We will keep fighting! Go Vols!
