Bridgette Gordon visits with current Lady Vols following their game

Lady Vols legend Bridgette Gordon met with Tennessee's current players after a game, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. The visit connected one of the program's great former players with the roster now carrying the Tennessee name.

Moments like that matter in a program with Tennessee's history. The Lady Vols have long drawn strength from the players who built their tradition, and a meeting between a legend and the current team is a reminder of the standard that comes with wearing the uniform.

For Kim Caldwell's players, time with Gordon offers perspective that goes beyond a single result. It links their own season to the generations before them and reinforces what representing the Lady Vols is meant to mean.
