Ahead of Tennessee’s next two games, second-year UT head coach Kellie Harper met with media to discuss her team. Below is a transcript provided by the University of Tennessee.

“We’re excited about this week and being able to play a couple of games and get some practices in,” Harper said. “We’re really grateful that we were able to add our Furman game this week to help replace the FAMU (Florida A&M) game that we lost at the beginning of the season.

“We’re coming off a West Virginia loss, a tough loss. Hopefully our players come out of it better. I thought they had a pretty good attitude after the game. I thought our practice was good, and I thought their mentality was good. It’s just a matter of being able to improve on some details and use every day to get better. I think we’ve made some strides. There are, obviously, a lot of mistakes left out there that we need to clean up to be able to get a close win.”
