Yep and not only that, TN hasn't even played at a neutral site yet. Every game so far and including the FL St game on Wed are all played at home in Knoxville, TN Food City Center. Their first one away from home is against us at a neutral site in NY.

I like our chances as well with Lucy back and even if we had to play Guyton now, still think we're very competitive after Guyton gets one more full week of reps. They may not even be undefeated when they play us. Although, rather beat an undefeated TN. It just sounds better and helps boost the resume.

If Lucy can't play I'd be worried about what Tennessee would do to her with pressure. Hope I'm wrong.

AP Poll finally has individual ballots out..
6 voters have Iowa unranked..

Among those
Emily Adams.. a Connecticut voter who had Iowa lower than everyone else all year last season
Reed Darcey.. a LSU voter
Roger Cleaveland.. another Connecticut voter.. not sure why they have 3 or 4 reps in the AP poll

AP Page has some ballots updated.. some not..

Emily and Roger still have Iowa unranked.. Reed’s ballot isn’t updated.

Iowa up to a 4 seed now on ESPN brackets.

Has been my prediction since summertime; hope they can hold on to secure hosting that 1st weekend.

We will know a lot in these next 4 games. All losable. I’m expecting 3-1 w/MSU there being the toughest.

A lot of the coming week depends on how soon Lucy Olsen can practice and play at her top form again.

Perfect timing for a week off. Imagine the Cancun games provided a lot to work on and they will be better for it, and deserve the current ranking.

Holy Cross staying sorta close with UConn at half 27-33. Both teams shooting poorly.

*Didn't know the Holy Cross coach Maureen Magarity resigned right before the season. Classy woman and a good coach. Was impressed by her and the HC team last March.

Well that didn't last. Too many good players on UConn--doesn't even seem fair. HC crushed in the second half.
