On the heels of back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances, Kellie Harper is ready to take her Tennessee Lady Vols to the next level behind an experienced team of returnees and transfers. She speaks with host Howard Megdal about everything from Rickea Jackson's evolution into one of the nation's great stars to her all-transfer backcourt of Jewel Spear and Destinee Wells. The two also spend time marveling at the statline of the returning Tamari Key, and they break down one of the fiercest non-conference schedules in the country. Plus: what it means to coach in the same place Pat Summitt made history.
