The No. 19 Tennessee Lady Vols celebrated their first victory over the No. 5 UConn Huskies since 2007 with an impressive 80-76 performance. Under coach Kim Caldwell, the team showcased their resilience and skill, leading with strong rebounding and efficient shooting, especially in the fourth quarter. Notably, they held UConn standout Paige Bueckers to below her average. The victory was a tribute to late coach Pat Summitt's legacy, reminding fans of Tennessee's storied history in women's basketball with a full crowd cheering them on.
It was once a rivalry -- UConn vs. Tennessee -- that defined women's basketball, and on Thursday night, the No. 19 Lady Vols and Kim Caldwell rekindled some of that past magic with an 80-76 upset of the No. 5 Huskies with Food City Center quaking from the rafters.
We had poise down the stretch. I think we played with confidence. We played to win as opposed to afraid to lose.
