After an early exit to eventual SEC Tournament Champion, South Carolina, Tennessee sits at No. 12 in the AP Poll with a 24-7 record. The Lady Vols still stand as the third highest SEC team in the AP Poll.
With a week until Selection Monday, the Lady Vols hope to land a top-16 seed, looking to host the opening weekend at Thompson-Boling. Last year, Tennessee missed a top-16 spot, falling to a five-seed and traveling to Louisville for the first two rounds of the tournament. The Lady Vols lost to Louisville on the Cardinals home court in the round of 32.
