Latham was not present on the court for warmups or on the bench for the Belmont game, but she was with the team for the road game at MTSU. She was not dressed to play and did not go through warmups.
After the MTSU win, Caldwell was hopeful Latham would return soon.
"We're hoping that she'll return next game," Caldwell said Nov. 20.
Latham has averaged 13 minutes in three games this season. The 6-foot-2 forward has only averaged 2.7 points and 3.0 rebounds, but she's an important piece of Tennessee's rotation on both ends of the court, especially on defense. She is also an efficient scorer and doesn't force her shots. Latham has shot 50% from the field this season.
