Tennessee Lady Vols Head Coach Kim Caldwell Voices Frustration Ahead of Florida Matchup

 

**Gainesville, FL –** Tennessee Lady Volunteers head coach Kim Caldwell did not hold back in expressing her frustration ahead of tomorrow’s crucial matchup against the Florida Gators. Speaking to the media, Caldwell emphasized the need for better defensive execution, citing recent inconsistencies that could impact the team’s performance.

“Our offense has been strong, but defensively, we’ve struggled in key moments,” Caldwell said. “If we don’t step up and execute better, it’s going to be a tough game.”

 

The Lady Vols, coming off a hard-fought victory against Alabama, have shown flashes of brilliance this season but continue to battle defensive lapses. Caldwell stressed that limiting turnovers and maintaining focus for all four quarters will be essential in securing a win against Florida.

 

Florida, known for its aggressive play and fast-paced offense, presents a tough challenge for Tennessee. Caldwell acknowledged the Gators’ strengths, urging her team to bring high energy and discipline to the court.

“We can’t afford to be complacent,” she added. “This game is going to test our ability to stay locked in and play smart basketball.”

 

The Lady Vols and Gators will tip off tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET in Gainesville, with Tennessee looking to improve their SEC standing and build momentum for the remainder of the season.
