After a huge win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the Tennessee Lady Vols are a No. 6 seed in the updated ESPN women’s basketball Bracketology.

Nobody really knows where to put the Tennessee Lady Vols in their NCAA Tournament Bracketology predictions.

But a strong finish in the regular season that included a comeback win over the Florida Gators and then a huge road victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs in Diamond DeShields’s return to the starting lineup is certainly helping their case.

Holly Warlick’s team is now a No. 6 seed in Charlie Creme’s Bracketology predictions for ESPN.

Creme has the Tennessee Lady Vols facing the Dayton Flyers, whom he predicts will win the Atlantic-10 Championship.

They are also in the same bracket as the UCONN Huskies in Creme’s predictions, but if they were a No. 6 seed, they wouldn’t face the Huskies until the Elite Eight.

With a 19-10 record and a 10-6 SEC record, this team still has a lot of chances to move up in the seeding.

After all, they still have the SEC Tournament to worry about, and that could boost their seeding a bit.

However, we don’t know which Tennessee Lady Vols team will show up in the tournament.

Given this team’s inconsistency, it would not be surprising to see Holly Warlick get to her first Final Four, nor would it be surprising to see her squad knocked out in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

In fact, even in UCONN’s bracket, they might be more likely to beat the Huskies than the Flyers. That’s how inconsistent this bunch is.
