Florida 74, Tennessee 66: Gators knock off Vols on Rocky Top for seismic win

There's maybe one venue in women's college basketball more vaunted than Thompson-Boling Arena, which Tennessee fans pack to see their beloved Vols, the SEC's gold standard in the sport, devour visiting team after visiting team. It should be no surprise that Florida's oft-lowly program owned one win over Tennessee in Knoxville entering 2015-16.

After a shocking 74-66 Florida win on Rocky Top on Thursdy, make that two.

Eleanna Christinaki had 18 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, and Carlie Needles scored all 15 of her points on five crucial threes as the Gators rebounded from a double-digit deficit in the first quarter for just their fourth win over the Vols ever.
