The Tennessee Lady Vols fell 65‑63 to Texas in a dramatic finish. With six seconds remaining, Talaysia Cooper inbounded to Zee Spearman, then attempted a drive that was stripped by Bryanna Preston, sealing the loss.
Cooper finished with 29 points, 12‑19 shooting and 4‑7 from beyond the arc, but her ninth turnover proved costly. Coach Kim Caldwell said the team must reduce pressure on Cooper and that missing freshman Mia Pauldo also impacted the game.
