"For the past five years I have given my all for Tennessee and have not regretted doing so once. Obviously, my last two seasons on the team have been less than ideal for many reasons, but the one night I was most looking forward to was senior night. As someone who has never started a career game, I was hoping to start in my last appearance in Thompson-Boling."
"That obviously did not happen, and to be asked to check into the game with 15 seconds left while losing was not how I wanted to spend my final moments in my arena after five years. Although that was not the sole reason, it was the breaking point for me. I have the utmost love and respect for my teammates and this program and wish everyone nothing but the best."
Kaiya Wynn, a reserve guard for Tennessee women's basketball, announced her departure from the program Tuesday following the team's regular-season loss to Vanderbilt. After spending five years with the Lady Vols and missing the entire 2024-25 season due to an Achilles tendon injury, Wynn played in only nine games this season. She expressed disappointment about senior night, stating she hoped to start in her final appearance at Thompson-Boling Arena but instead entered the game with 15 seconds remaining while the team was losing. Though not the sole reason, Wynn identified this moment as her breaking point. Tennessee, currently the No. 6 seed in the SEC tournament, has struggled significantly, losing nine of its last 11 games.
