“Obviously, we are excited to be here,” Tennessee head coach Kellie Harper said ahead of the Lady Vols’ first-round game. “We are really proud to be hosting the tournament. It’s been fun to watch the games both on the men’s side and the women’s side the last couple of days. It will be fun to get started for us tomorrow, so you know, we are looking forward to it. I know that we have got three terrific teams here in Knoxville as well, so I would expect it to be competitive and a lot of fun.”
