KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Bashaara Graves made a tiebreaking basket with 2:48 remaining and No. 4 Tennessee held No. 25 Syracuse scoreless for the final f-plus minutes in the Lady Vols' 57-55 victory Friday night.
Graves' basket broke a 55-all tie and ended up as the final points. Syracuse (1-1) missed its last eight field-goal attempts after tying the score on Abby Grant's 3-pointer with 5:12 left.
Syracuses's Brittney Sykes was at the foul line and had a chance to tie the game with 5.4 seconds remaining, but the first of her two free-throw attempts hit both the front and back of the rim before falling out.
