Tennessee takes a loss to Vanderbilt after a game winning shot.

Tennessee took on the Vanderbilt Commodores inside Memorial Gymnasium in today’s women’s basketball contest.

The Lady Vols were defeated by The Lady Commodores by a score of 71-70 after Ruby Whitehorn made a layup with only four seconds on the clock and Vanderbilt hit a game-winning shot.

Tennessee got off to a terrible start as Vanderbilt would lead. The team’s shooting would be limited as they were missing many shots that they typically don’t miss. The team was averaging 95 points a game entering the game and came nowhere close to that number in today’s game.

Talaysia Cooper was one of the only bright spots despite not having a great shooting game as she finished the contest with 20 points, five rebounds, and two steals.

Tennessee will play No. 7 Texas on the road Thursday likely without head coach Kim Caldwell whose birth due date is scheduled for Monday.
