The Lady Vols are now 261-62-2 all time versus in-state schools. Wednesday’s win is the first for the Blue Raiders in the all time series against Tennessee. Tennessee is 22-1 versus Middle Tennessee State, dating to 1971.
Fifth-year Tennessee head coach Kellie Harper discussed the Lady Vols going forward after suffering a third consecutive loss.
“This one, we’ve got to take some ownership a little bit, more ownership than we’re taking in that locker room right now to be quite honest with you,” Harper said. “I think we are. We’re trying to help them, but at some point they’ve got to step up and help themselves and really challenging our team right now.”
