Special report on the Florida Gators women’s basketball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – For just the fifth time in program history, Florida women’s basketball knocked-off Tennessee, downing the No. 7 ranked Lady Volunteers, 84-59, inside of Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on Thursday night.
Handing the Lady Vols (19-3, 8-2 SEC) their largest loss to an unranked opponent since the debut of the AP Poll in 1976, Florida (16-6, 6-3 SEC) put the clamps down defensively, forcing Tennessee into 18 total turnovers while holding the opposition to 24-of-64 shooting (37.5%) from the floor.
