After several consecutive seasons of up and down basketball, the Tennessee Lady Vols certainly appear to be back. Sitting at 17-1, Kellie Harper has her team believing in year three.
On Sunday, they whipped a ranked Kentucky team to the tune of 84-58 — a fitting start to the beginning of ‘We Back Pat’ week.
Tennessee trailed after one quarter of play, 17-11, but an offensive explosion in the second put away the 19th ranked Wildcats. The Lady Vols scored 27 points in the second period, holding Kentucky to just ten.
The halftime lead was 38-27, and Tennessee wasn’t interested in letting up.
