The Tennessee Lady Volunteers improved their season record with a commanding victory over the Kentucky Wildcats. The final score read 87-69 in favor of the home team. The Wildcats, despite a strong second quarter where they outscored the Lady Volunteers, could not maintain their momentum and fell behind as the game progressed.

The game started off competitive with both teams showcasing their skills. However, it was evident that the Lady Volunteers had an edge in offensive execution. They shot an impressive 53 percent from the field compared to Kentucky's 38 percent. Their precision was particularly notable inside the arc where they made 65 percent of their two-point attempts.

Defensively, Tennessee also excelled with seven blocks and seven steals contributing to their dominant performance. This defensive pressure caused problems for Kentucky who turned over the ball fourteen times throughout the contest. Furthermore, Tennessee capitalized on these turnovers by scoring ten points off them.

In terms of rebounds, Tennessee outperformed Kentucky by securing 43 rebounds to Kentucky's 36. This included nine offensive boards which led to seven second-chance points for Tennessee – a testament to their hustle and determination on both ends of the court.

The Lady Volunteers' teamwork shone through as well; they tallied twenty-one assists which is indicative of good ball movement and finding open teammates effectively. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at a solid 1.31 while Kentucky struggled with a lower ratio of 0.77.

Kentucky did have moments where they shined – particularly from beyond the arc where they hit six three-pointers at a rate of thirty-five percent but it wasn't enough to challenge Tennessee's lead seriously or shift momentum significantly in their favor.
