In the clash of titans yesterday in Knoxville, Texas came out on top. By besting Coach Summitt, Coach Conradt tied with 828 career wins.
The Longhorns had some clutch play down the stretch. Freshman Tiffany Jackson had a double-double off the bench, and Jamie Carey kept knocking down her free throws at the end.
Coach Conradt: "Pat's done a great great job with this team. They've had a tough schedule, and the improvement by players like Ely and Robinson are impressive. This is an important win for us - a big boost - especially in this environment and in this area which was packed with Tennessee fans."
John Adams says that it was clear from the beginning that Texas was the better team, and that despite the difference in the rankings, this was no upset. I think he's right.
Coach Summitt was surprised that, even with Stephens and Schreiber on the bench with foul trouble, the Horns still dominated inside. "I can't remember the last time we were outrebounded by 15. I think that tells you a lot about heart and desire.''
It was a rough game for the nearly 15,000 Vols fans in attendance. At least they aren't Vikings fans...
