RECORDS
KNOXVILLE - Tennessee scored the first nine points of the second half and led the remainder of the way as the No. 12/13 Lady Vols knocked off No. 10/11 Georgia, 79-66 before 12,319 at Thompson-Boling Arena. A pair of freshman keyed the Tennessee (11-3, 2-0 SEC) win as Bashaara Graves scored a career-high 23, making 8-of-11 from the floor. Jasmine Jones also had a career-high with 12 points as she saw significant minutes with Isabelle Harrison in foul trouble. Graves’ point total was the most by a Lady Vols’ freshman since Meighan Simmons had 23 vs. Stanford on Dec. 19, 2010. Graves has scored in double-figures in 12 of her 14 games as a freshman. As a junior on Sunday, Simmons scored 11 of her 16 in the second half and finished 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Taber Spani had 11 and grabbed seven rebounds. Georgia suffered just its second loss of the season as the Lady Bulldogs fell to 13-2 and 1-1 in the league. Jasmine James led UGA with 18. Khaalidah Miller added 14. Tennessee moved to 6-2 against ranked teams this season. It was also the Lady Vols first win over a Top 10 team this season and first since thrashing No. 7 Kentucky last February. Tennessee opened the second half with nine consecutive points to take control of the game with a lead 49-42 after a fastbreak layup by Spani four minutes into the half. The Lady Vols led the remainder of the way. Georgia missed its first eight shots of the second half as Tennessee buckled up on defense and crashed the glass. The Lady Vols hauled down 10 of the first 12 rebounds in the second half. Overall, UT outrebounded UGA, 46-29 with a 28-9 second-half margin. The Lady Bulldogs cut the deficit to two, 52-50, on a jumper by Jasmine Jones with 12:24 left in the half. But, Tennessee responded with the next five points punctuated by a Simmons 3-pinter with 11:26 left. The run expanded to 14-3 on back-toback layups by Graves with nine minutes left. That gave the Lady Vols a lead of 13 points, 66-53 with 8:53 left. The lead ballooned to 19 with three minutes left on Simmons’ fourth 3-pointer of the game, making it 79-60. Tennessee had three 9-0 runs in the second half. The Lady Vols outscored Georgia, 39-24 in the second half and held the Lady Bulldogs to just 29 percent from the floor including 25 percent from 3-point range. A highly-entertaining first half saw both teams shoot well and play up tempo as Georgia led 42-40 at intermission. Graves led all scorers with 12 in the first half. The Lady Vols now lead the all-time series, 45-15 with a 19-4 mark in Knoxville. Tennessee has won the last five meetings and 13 of the last 14 overall.
SEC
COLUMBIA, S.C. - A 28-2 run in the second half spurred #12/13 Tennessee to a 73-53 victory at #18/15 South Carolina. In a game that was not separated by more than five points for the first 25 minutes, Tennessee exerted its power on both ends of the floor to secure a win in its SEC opener and move to 10-3 overall. It was Holly Warlick’s first win in the SEC as head coach of the Lady Vols. Sophomore Isabelle Harrison had a monster night, as she scored a career-high tying 18 points and corralled a career-high 14 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season. She also swatted a career-high seven blocks. Four Lady Vols scored in double-figures overall as Harrison was joined by Taber Spani, who had a season-high 18 points, making 4-of-5 on 3-pointers. Ariel Massengale (13) and Meighan Simmons (10) also tallied 10-plus. Tennessee has won every SEC opener since 1998. South Carolina (12-2, 0-1) suffered its second loss of the season as the Gamecocks shot just 29 percent from the floor. Tiffany Mitchell scored 14 to lead USC. Ashley Bruner added 12. Down 40-39, Tennessee scored 14 points in a row to take a commanding 5340 lead with 11:30 left in the game. The teams traded baskets and the lead on four consecutive possessions as Simmons’ layup put UT ahead for good, 41-40 with 16 minutes left in the half. A Harrison lay-up and a pair of free throws by Simmons gave Tennessee a five-point lead at 45-40. Spani took a feed from Massengale to move the margin to seven. A swooping layup and a jumper by Simmons extended the run to a dozen points in a row. Kamiko Williams scored the first bench points of the game -- for either team -- on a runner for UT’s 13th and 14th points in a row. Tennessee led 53-40 with 11:33 left in the game. South Carolina missed 11 field goals in a row as the Lady Vols took control of the game. Tennessee’s defense kept USC off the board for 5:06. South Carolina’s struggles continued as the Gamecocks made just one of 22 shots as Tennessee’s run burst to 28-2 as Spani canned back-to-back 3-pointers to put UT ahead 67-42 with 4:44 left in the game. Tennessee outrebounded South Carolina, 30-19 in the second half after grabbing just nine rebounds in the first half. The Lady Vols held a one-point edge at halftime, 32-31, as neither team led by more than five points in the first half. Harrison had 12 points in the first half alone as Tennessee shot 55 percent from the floor. Thursday’s game was Tennessee’s first without sophomore Cierra Burdick, who suffered a broken bone in her right hand on Dec. 31. The Lady Vols had just nine healthy players suited up for the game.
