Tenn hit by injury bug

[BabHorn]

Lady Vols take a big hit in the roster numbers, going from 12 to 9.

PG Te'a Cooper and F Cheridene Green will miss the season due to surgeries to fix knee problems. PG Andraya Carter has retired from BB due to knee issues. Leaves them with three guards and two G/Fs and no real PG.

Doesn't really affect them as hard as it would a team like us. Holly has shown her willingness to switch up defenses and play a lot of zone. The 9 they have are super talented and they will be just fine. Most teams only go 8 or 9 deep anyway so they wont lose a ton there. It will really hurt them in the unseen places like practice. But I still expect them to win 25+ games provided they have no other injuries.

losing their two top PGs is going to hurt the Lady Vols. Same as it would hurt us. And I do expect Texas to go at least 10, if not 12 deep.
