OXFORD, Miss. - The size and strength of Tennessee (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) ended up trumping the speed of Mississippi for a 66-56 victory on Sunday. With Tennessee (20-7, 11-3 Southeastern Conference) struggling to connect from 3-point range, the inside duo of Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen bailed out the Lady Volunteers, who have struggled with their effort and energy level from game to game. Johnson and Stricklen both went 5 of 9 from the floor and combined to score 25 points. Johnson, who finished with 13 points, also grabbed eight rebounds for the Lady Volunteers. “I thought Ole Miss really focused on taking away our inside game early. Credit to Glory and (Stricklen), they kept working,” Tennessee assistant coach Holly Warlick said. “They probably weren’t getting as many touches as we normally get, and that’s due to Ole Miss, but I thought we kept working hard, and when we needed a basket inside, we got them the ball. They made plays.” In a game that Tennessee never led by more than 12 points, Warlick talked about why the Lady Volunteers struggled to put away an Ole Miss team (12-15, 2-12) that played its most complete game of the season. “We did some good things and then we turn the ball over at crucial times and they took advantage of it,” Warlick said. “We didn’t get to loose balls that we normally do, and I thought Ole Miss was capitalizing on our mistakes. We needed buckets, we needed stops and we got them, but we let somebody score 21 points. We were just too inconsistent.” Valencia McFarland was the Lady Rebel who finished with 21 points. The point guard, who was 4 for 6 from 3-point range, was praised by Johnson following the game for her effort and her ability to lead her team. “She’s really quick. She was a player that her team needed to play well to be successful, and she did her job,” Johnson said. “She made it hard on our guards, and when she drove and we went to help, she was able to dish and find her teammates. She played a great game.” Tennessee led 32-21 at the half. The Lady Rebels cut into that lead early in the second half with a 13-6 run that brought them within four points, 38-34, at the 14:27 mark. Ole Miss got within four points twice more but never got any closer as Tennessee withstood the Lady Rebels’ best punches with inside buckets from Johnson and Stricklen as well as a key 3-pointer by Stricklen with just under 7 minutes left. Tennessee has won three straight games since falling out of the Top 10 last week and leads the SEC by a half-game over Kentucky, which hosts Vanderbilt on Monday night. The Lady Vols return home to host Arkansas on Thursday at 7 p.m. The game airs on Fox Sports South and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network. UT closes the regular-season vs. Florida on Sunday, Feb. 26 in a game that airs on ESPNU with a 3:30 p.m., tip-off.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Arkansas handed the No. 10/9 Lady Vols a tough 72-71 defeat in overtime on Thursday night. It was the Razorbacks’ first-ever win in Knoxville and just their second win ever against the Lady Vols in 25 meetings. Arkansas (21-6, 10-5) outscored Tennessee 10-9 in the extra session after sending the game to overtime on a lay-up with eight seconds left in regulation. The Lady Vols (20-8 overall) fell to second place in the SEC at 11-4 as first-place Kentucky (12-3) knocked off South Carolina, 53-50, on Thursday. Shekinna Stricklen (17 points, 8 rebounds) and Glory Johnson (13 points, 9 rebounds) and combined for 30 points and 17 rebounds -- all in the second half and overtime. The Razorbacks were led by Lyndsay Harris (20) and Sarah Watkins (18). The Razorbacks won for the 10th time in 11 games. C’eira Ricketts had 16 points as Arkansas gained a measure of revenge after suffering a 69-38 defeat to Tennessee on Jan. 8. Watkins’ jumper with 3:21 left in regulation put Arkansas ahead for good at 66-64. A 3-pointer by Calli Berna with 1:55 left gave the Hogs a 6-point advantage at 70-64. Stricken answered with a trey of her own with 1:25 left to cut the deficit to three. Stricklen’s lay-up with 41.8 left cut it to one, 70-69. Stricklen then missed two free throws with 10.0 seconds left which could have tied the game or given the Lady Vols the lead. Harris made two free throws with 6.2 seconds remaining in overtime to put Arkansas ahead 72-69. Arkansas fouledAriel Massengale with 3.0 on the clock and the point guard made both foul shots to make it 72-71. Quistelle Williams missed two free with 2.6 seconds left but Tennessee’s desperation half-court shot came after the final buzzer. Kamiko Williams’ putback with 1:50 left in regulation gave the Lady Vols a 60-58 lead. Stricklen’s short jumper with 1:04 left put UT up by four, 62-58. Ricketts came right back with an Arkansas lay-up 17 seconds later to cut the margin to two at 62-60. Watkins tied the game at 62 with eight seconds left as she swooped to the hoop and laid the ball in to send the game to overtime. Arkansas continued to battle and cut their deficit to one at 57-56 on jumper by Calli Berna with 2:58 left. Harris made a pair of free throws to regain the lead for the Hogs at 58-57. The Lady Vols scored seven points in a row to take a 55-50 lead with 5:25 left in the second. Massengale’s lay-up with 8:29 left put UT ahead at 52-50. Johnson scored the next three points for a five-point Lady Vols’ lead, their largest of the game, at five. Tennessee shot 20-of-28 free throws in the contest, making 16 of its first 17, but made only 4-of-11 to finish the game. A pair of 3-pointers by Stricklen gave the Lady Vols a big boost early in the second half. Massengale’s steal and lay-up with 12 minutes left in the game tied the score at 44 all. That marked the first time the game was tied since 16-all with eight minutes left in the first half. Taber Spani’s pair of free throws with 11:30 left in the second gave UT it first lead since 7-5 at 46-44. UT finished a 9-0 run with two Johnson free throws to giving the Lady Vols a 48-44 advantage. Arkansas answered with back-to-back 3-pointers by Harris and Quistelle Williams to regain the lead at 50-48 with 9:23 left in the second half. The Razorbacks lead 31-26 at halftime behind 11 points from Harris and 58 percent shooting from the floor.
