R U SERIOUS!

The Tennessee Lady Vols end the first half of their game against Rutgers University with only 13 points. Everyone says they are an embarassment to Tennessee. But, everyone seems to think we only play 20 minutes! Nope, as Summitt tells her team at halftime, there is another 20 minutes to play and they better play Tennessee basketball! So, what do the "Baby" Vols do? They grow up a little more. Shekinna Stricklen scored 16 points and No. 8 Tennessee rallied from the biggest deficit in school history to beat No. 15 Rutgers 55-51 on Saturday. After the Lady Vols trailed 33-13 at the break, scoring the fewest points ever in a half, Tennessee regrouped to give coach Pat Summitt her 994th career win. The loss ended a 20-game home winning streak for Rutgers (8-3), led by Epiphanny Prince with 25 points. Trailing 49-40 with 6:40 left, Tennessee (11-2) went on a 13-0 run. Angie Bjorkland's jumper with 1:30 left gave the Lady Vols their first lead at 51-49. Stricklen made two free throws for 53-49 lead with 39.8 seconds left. Prince's jumper cut it to 53-51 with 21.8 seconds left. She then forced a jump ball giving Rutgers one last chance, but Kia Vaughn missed underneath. Bjorklund, who scored 12 points, sealed the game from the free throw line. “Never in my 35 years of coaching have I seen a game like that,” said Summitt, who earned the 994th win of her career. “I’ve been in a lot of games, I’ve been behind a lot in my career, this one stands out as one of the most special.”
The only game that came close to this was when the Lady Vols rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to stun Virginia in the regional finals of the 1996 NCAA tournament.
