COLUMBUS, Ohio – Lady Vols basketball set a program record in its first win of the NCAA tournament.
No. 5 seed Tennessee hit 16 3-pointers during its 101-66 win over No. 12 seed South Florida at Schottenstein Center on Friday. That set the program record for the most 3-pointers in an NCAA tournament game. The Lady Vols shot 10-for-21 from 3-point range in the first half to build a 55-34 lead.
"It just feels good to see the ball go in again," Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell said. "It feels like such a long time since we've shot that well from 3 and we've been that efficient. I really think we needed that."
