2025-26 DWBB

The more Kara is successful at Duke, the more we need Caldwell to be successful at Tennessee.
That's why I posted, but you had to say it :). Actually I think Kara stays. She wants to build her own legacy, and would always be in the shadow of Summitt at UT. I think the real risk of losing Kara would be to the WNBA. I'm hoping she enjoys forming the college kids.

But who knows. It's great we have a coach others would want, and I don't think Nina would let her go without a fight.

The thing about Tennessee is you are at the best the fourth best program in the league. You gotta beat the LSU South Carolina and Texas and now Vanderbilt and Kentucky are really good too. But I think the Tennessee fan base still thinks is on a level with UConn or is entitled to success like that.

If you coach at Duke, you have a much easier path to winning your conference.

Also Duke kids are just different and I think Kara enjoys the similarities.

Tenn had their chance...and they passed...That was our gain

Based on their social media posts, it appears that the team is headed for Atlanta this morning. I wonder if they will have time for a shoot around before tomorrow. There are four games scheduled today.
 
Courtney Banghart, making friends in Georgia.

Apparently when asked about the ACC Tournament in Duluth, GA after our game, remarked "wherever that is".

(What, you think I'm going to listen to her entire insipid press conference?!?)

She just made every opponent the home team.
