No. 19 Tennessee Upsets No. 5 UConn 80-76

In a thrilling matchup, No. 19 Tennessee ended No. 5 UConn's 11-game winning streak with an 80-76 victory, marking the Lady Vols' first win against the Huskies since 2007. UConn's Paige Bueckers had a challenging night, contributing 14 points but acknowledging her struggles to find rhythm and the impact of Tennessee's defensive intensity. The game featured a tight scoreline with multiple lead changes and saw Tennessee's Zee Spearman lead all scorers with 16 points, including crucial late-game baskets. Despite UConn tying the game in the fourth quarter, Tennessee's late surge secured the win, resulting in a significant milestone for new coach Kim Caldwell. Both teams faced challenges with shooting, but Tennessee capitalized on UConn's turnovers and rebounding weaknesses. UConn will look to rebound against Providence in their next game, while Tennessee aims to build on this momentum against No. 6 LSU.
