UK Hoops' Comeback Falls Short Against Tennessee
Shekinna Stricklen scored 20 points and No. 4 Tennessee overcame major turnover trouble to beat No. 15 Kentucky 73-67 on Monday night. The Lady Vols (22-2, 10-0 Southeastern Conference) won their 13th straight despite turning it over 24 times in the face of the Wildcats' relentless pressure. Meighan Simmons added 15 points for Tennessee, including the clinching free throws with 14.5 seconds left. Victoria Dunlap led Kentucky (18-5, 7-3) with 20 points and A'dia Mathies added 18 points, but the undersized Wildcats were no match inside for the bigger Lady Vols once Tennessee gained its composure late in the second half.[IMAGE1]
