Just like the men, the Tennessee Lady Vols will exit the NCAA Tournament this season in the Sweet 16. After a slow start on Saturday night in Seattle, Tennessee’s comeback efforts ended up coming up short, as the Lady Vols fell to Virginia Tech 73-64.
The Hokies started the game with a 9-0 run and carried a 35-22 lead at the break. That lead grew out to 40-22 before the Lady Vols would make their run. Rickea Jackson and Jordan Horston went to work on the offensive end, and Jordan Walker came up with a steal and a bucket to slash the lead down to 51-47.
