Lady Vols Confident in Isabelle Harrison’s Star Potential
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee hasn’t been an elite team lately in part because it hasn’t had an elite player.
The Lady Vols believe senior Isabelle Harrison can change that.
Tennessee hasn’t reached a Final Four since its 2008 national championship and hasn’t produced an Associated Press first-team or second-team All-America player during that drought. Harrison showed signs of developing into that kind of performer last season.
The 6-foot-3 center from Nashville averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game to help Tennessee go 29-6 and reach an NCAA regional semifinal. She was named the most valuable player of the Southeastern Conference tournament. Her 18 double-doubles represented the second-highest total in school history.
Now the Lady Vols want her to take the next step.
Tennessee opens the season Nov. 14 against Penn.
