UK Women crush Tennessee

Playing their final regular season game in Historic Memorial Coliseum on Thursday, the Kentucky women’s basketball team put on a historic performance.

No. 15 Kentucky crushed No. 11 Tennessee 82-58 in the venerable venue on Thursday, in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. It was the largest margin of victory ever for Kentucky over Tennessee, besting the 21-point win (86-65) the Cats had over the Lady Vols in the 2020 SEC Tournament.

Clara Strack had a huge game for the Cats in the win. The sophomore had 23 points and tied her career high with 15 rebounds. She added three blocked shots and two assists.

Strack had plenty of help. Georgia Amoore had 18 points and seven assists for UK, while Teonni Key had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Dazia Lawrence had 13 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Kentucky (22-5, 11-4 Southeastern Conference) plays at South Carolina Sunday afternoon in the regular season finale.
