 vs. 
_Tennessee Lady Vols___8:30 EST___Rutgers Scarlet Knights_
News and Notes:
Preview: Tennessee vs. Rutgers
| Quote: |
For Stringer, this could be the final chapter in an improbable season in which she didn't expect a happy ending. After a 2-4 start, Rutgers, without a senior on its roster, has scrapped its way to the top with a defense every bit as tenacious as its fiery coach.
"Her kids, they just bring it," Summitt said. "They love their coach." |
Friends match wits as Summitt, Stringer play for title
| Quote: |
With a victory over the Lady Vols (33-3), Rutgers will have the school's first national team championship since sharing a fencing title with Army in 1949. A win would also give Stringer the only thing missing from her resume.
"It's been the talk since the beginning of the season," junior guard Matee Ajavon said. "Coach Stringer is a very special person to us, and I think it would be one of the best things I can do in my life." |
Parker looks for her spot in Tennessee history
| Quote: |
| "I want my legacy to be that we hung banners during my career," Parker said Monday, a day before Tennessee was to face Rutgers in the women's national title game. "All the greats at Tennessee hung banners. All of us came to Tennessee to win a national championship. We haven't done so since '98." |
Rutgers coach Stringer in pursuit of first national title
| Quote: |
Kia Vaughn, a 6-4 sophomore who has lost 35 pounds in two years under Stringer's grueling workout regimen, said the relationship with Stringer goes beyond that of the typical player-coach.
"She talks about how players in the past have influence her. When I come back in five, 10, even 20 years, I want to be one of the players she talks about," Vaughn said. "I want her to tell players years from now how I was part of a young team that beat Tennessee in the championship game in Cleveland. |
Tennessee using NCAA title drought as motivation
| Quote: |
"Nobody on this team has won a national championship," Parker said. "We all came to Tennessee wanting a national championship. I know I followed the program since I was a little kid and know the history behind the program.
"If you don't win a national championship at the University of Tennessee, then it's deemed a failure. So, it's a motivation." |

Good stance DNA. I probably would be smarter doing that, but I'm a sucker for the underdog always. |
THE Underdog?

I'm just hoping for a fairly called game.*
*Translation--> Don't hand the game to Pat Summit in the last five minutes if the game is close. This is really getting old and it's gone on for far too many years.

Well, I don't take orders from people who are much younger than me, so don't expect me to heed your "advice" anytime soon. Just enjoy the game. |
I never said "heed my advice", I just suggested it. And of course I will enjoy the game, won't you?_________________ "What is delayed, is not denied." - Gail Goestenkors cc Kay Yow
