Lady Vols fall again on the hardwood.

FAYETTEVILLE — The Lady Vols saw their hardwood skid continue with another loss to another ranked team Thursday night.

Tennessee dropped its fifth consecutive game when it came up on the short end of an 83-75 decision against Arkansas at Bud Walton Arena.

Rae Burrell led the Lady Vols with 21 points while Rennia Davis added 18 for Tennessee, which has now lost six of its last seven games.

Burrell had nine rebounds and three assists while Davis grabbed eight boards and dished out three assists for the Lady Vols, who last won in Nashville, against Vanderbilt on Jan. 30.

Tennessee (17-9 overall, 7-6 in the Southeastern Conference) struggled to pull that contest out, but left Music City with a 78-69 win. The Commodores (13-13, 3-10) will make a return trip to Knoxville and Thompson-Boling Arena Sunday. Tipoff is slated for noon.

Vanderbilt has lost four of its last five games and lost to Missouri, 78-66, on Thursday night in Nashville.

Also on Thursday, Arkansas guard Amber Ramirez led the No. 22 Razorbacks with 29 points.
