No Rest For The Best
The 6 and 1 defending NCAA women’s basketball National Champions do not get a cozy month off for the Christmas holiday. The Lady Vols will be on the hardcourt tomorrow night taking on the Middles Tennessee State Blue Raiders . This game will be the final punctuation to a week filled with exams and final papers and projects being due. Thankfully the Lady Vols were given sufficient time to prepare for these academic landmarks as they have not had to play since they trampled the George Washington University Colonials 71-59 on the road in D.C. on December 2,2008.
During the break the Lady Vols will see a lot of games on the road. They head to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns on December 14, 2008. Then they take on the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs in Norfolk, Virginia on December 18, 2008. The Lady Vols then return home to face the Stanford Cardinals on December 21, 2008. Then the Lady Vols head to Spokane, Washington to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs . And finally on January 3, 2009 the Lady Vols travel to Piscataway, New Jersey to face the Rutgers University Knights . These hardworking and dedicated athletes show what it takes to be National Champions. If you are in one of these host cities when the Lady Vols are in town, I would definitely recommend taking a break from the hectic pace of the holidays to catch some great hoops action.
