tamari key is out for the year, blood clots in her lungs. 
hollingshead now playing post. some on tennessee board thinking this  an improvement

Thanks for that correction, mbdude!  Yes, somewhere in the back of my mind I had heard that and then lost track of it when staring at the stat sheet.

It looks like in the last game Tennessee started sophomore forward Karoline Striplin, but she played only 12 minutes while Hollingshed came in for 17.

Hollingshed is a 6'5" sophomore, hitting 66%, almost never takes a three.

Striplin is a 6'3" sophomore, hitting 59%, also not much of a three point shooter.

The Tennessee starting lineup in the last game was:

Horsten
Puckett
Darby
Striplin
Walker

with Piscott, Hollingshed, Franklin, and Powell in double digit minutes.  This was against weak competition.

But in addition to Key being out, notice that Jackson also did not play.  [Edit: she did play 9 minutes, did not start.] Is she injured?  And Powell seems to have lost her starting status.  Clearly Tennessee's disappointing season is provoking some shuffling and lineup changes. 

I'm not actually sure who we will see start--but it is likely that Tennessee will attempt to play hard defense and go deep to keep up the energy levels.  We will need to do the same. 

I could see Tara going with a bigger than usual alignment against Tennessee.  Prechtel and Belibi might get more minutes than usual.
