Georgetown was an inexcusable loss, fraught with sloppy play and an inability to deal with a bizarrely-hot deep shooting team. Baylor was never a contest. Yes, Baylor is a very good team (and yes, Griner gets the benefit of the doubt from the refs more often than not, and yes, she's 6'8", thank you ESPN, we get it, move on), but Baylor did to the Tennessee women what the Tennessee men did to Pittsburgh. It was never a contest.

Sure, the road win at Texas was nice (it was also never a contest), and the home win over Stanford in OT was critical and gutty. I don't want to marginalize those wins - especially the game against Stanford. However, Texas is a low-25 team, and Stanford came to Knoxville. Those wins were the bare minimum for a Final Four-type team.

Right now, this team isn't good enough to take home the trophy.
