Tennessee goes to overtime again, this time against DePaul.
DePaul is an offensive machine, averaging about 95 points per game. The Vols couldn't stop them tonight, but managed to outscore them... barely.
Neither coach was happy.
"Clearly they were the better team for 40 minutes," coach Summitt said. "We found a way to win, but our defense was very ineffective for most of the evening until we had to buckle down. The biggest disappointment was we didn't compete."
"A minute 30 to go and up four, we still had to finish the dadgum game," DePaul coach Doug Bruno said. "We didn't finish the game. But I don't want it to get lost just how great these young women (played) to put us into position to get that basketball game."
Khara Smith led all scorers with 23.
