Tennessee Lady Vols hold off Auburn 64-61 in SEC Tournament: 3 takeaways

It was a heck of a lot closer than anybody expected. But the Tennessee Lady Vols have made everything dramatic all year. Why stop in the SEC Tournament?

All-SEC Freshman Rennia Davis hit a three-pointer with half a second left to give Holly Warlick’s team a 64-61 victory Thursday night over Auburn. It was never pretty, though.

After trailing the Tigers at halftime and then senior Jaime Nared going down with a hip injury, Tennessee looked like it would drop the ball in its first SEC Tournament game. Leading 61-59, Evina Westbrook turned the ball over on an in-bounds play to allow Auburn to tie it up.
