#11 Tennessee didn't just upset #7 Kentucky tonight - they handed them their behinds. Final score: 91-54.
The Lady Vols crashed out of the gates and played some of the most urgent, feverish and complete ball that we've seen in a while, dominating the Wildcats from beginning to end. Tennessee's tone was on display early in the first half, when sophomore guard Meighan Simmons (who lead the Vols with 25 points) and senior forward Shekinna Stricklen (18 points) forced a key turnover, together. They started screaming at each other and chest bumping like they were about to win the championship. Govolsxtra writer Dan Fleser said it looked to him like the Lady Vols were playing "almost angry." Whatever it was, it was something to behold.
Highlights.
