KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Southeastern Conference begins the first year of the post-Pat Summitt era in an unfamiliar situation.
Tennessee, the eight-time national champion and longtime conference heavyweight, isn’t favored to win the league. The Lady Vols aren’t even considered among the top few contenders.
The Lady Vols don’t return anyone who started an NCAA tournament game last year during their run to a regional final. That creates opportunity for the rest of the SEC, which is seeking to produce its first Final Four team since Tennessee won the national title and LSU reached the semifinals in 2008. Texas A&M won the 2011 national championship when it was still a Big 12 member.
