Kellie Harper recaps Lady Vols’ win against Auburn

Tennessee defeated Auburn, 88-54, Sunday at Thompson-Boling Arena.

On how the team is playing at the end of the season, compared to her preseason expectations:
“That seems like forever ago. A lot has happened since then, with ups and downs. This is where we would want the team. We would want the team to have a balanced attack, both offensively and defensively, on the perimeter and in the paint. Having some resiliency, having a competitive team that can handle some adversity is what we wanted. We needed to see that. I think we’ve been able to check those boxes. I’m really proud of where we are right now and how far we’ve come.”

On how special this Senior Day was:
“I thought our crowd was in it. I thought our fans were really engaged and loud. That was really fun. It’s hard to do when you’re spaced out. You lose a little bit of energy in the gyms this year. I’m so proud of our fans. I’m really excited for our team to be able to go out this way. They are so happy right now. They’re thrilled with how we finished. I think they’re also just really excited about the next step for us. They’re in a really good space, and I’m excited for them.”
