"The Tennessee Lady Vols were in a gloomy mood, finding plenty of fault with their offense, defense and rebounding.Sometimes winning by a dozen points isn’t enough for the sixth-ranked Lady Vols, who smothered Auburn defensively in a 54-42 victory on Thursday night.“I think if you were to walk into the locker room somebody might have thought we lost,” said Andraya Carter, who scored 11 points and made three first-half 3-pointers. “It’s a win but it doesn’t feel like a win. It doesn’t feel like a Lady Vol win."

"Friday marks the 20th anniversary of the first UConn-Tennessee women’s basketball game, a 77-66 Huskies victory that started the series that became its own mega-chapter in the sport’s lore.That Jan. 16, 1995, contest was played on a Monday afternoon on Martin Luther King Day at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut. The Associated Press poll voting was delayed a day to account for the result, which then flipped the teams’ rankings as UConn took over No. 1 and Tennessee went to No. 2."
