For the second time in history and for the first time in 22 years, Tennessee lost to an unranked team at home, as Florida won 95-93 in an overtime thriller.

The Lady Vols shot better from the floor, had a huge rebounding edge and led 34-30 at halftime. But their defense, their inability to take care of the ball and missed free throws cost them the game. The Gators stole the ball 20 times and the Lady Vols gave up the ball 28 times, which resulted in 30 points for Florida. Tennessee also went 17-27 from the line, compared to 25-32 for Florida.

Summitt: "I thought they had another valuable lesson handed to them on defense and handling the ball. Those two things killed us."

The Gators took the lead early in the second half and did not trail again until overtime. But the Lady Vols stayed in the game late in the second half with a 10-2 run and Shanna Zolman hit a 3 with 8.4 seconds left to send the game into overtime.

Tennessee seemed to have the momentum in the overtime as Candace Parker scored five straight points to give the Lady Vols an 87-84 lead. Brittany Davis responded with a three pointer to tie the game and hit a free throw on the next possession to give her team the lead for good.

Davis scored a career high 29 points, including 6 in overtime. UF's four seniors combined to score 70 of its 95 points. UT's two seniors each scored 22 points and Zolman added a career high 10 assists, along with 7 turnovers. But it was a freshman from each team that also stood out on this Senior Day.

Parker scored a career high 34 points and added 15 rebounds and five blocks for Tennessee while Sha Brooks tied her career high with 25 points, including big free throws in overtime.

Carolyn Peck on Brooks: "I call her 'Little Girl,' '' who's from Jackson, Tenn., and wasn't recruited by UT. "She doesn't like it. She definitely doesn't play like it."

This is the second huge SEC win for Florida this season, after upsetting LSU a couple of weeks ago.
