Games 442-443: Sunday doubleheader

443 - Texas women at Tennessee
December 10 at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN
SEC Network

* Associated Press No. 11 Tennessee is now 10-0 after an 82-75 win over the second-ranked Longhorns. Tennessee struggled from three (2-of-13), so instead attacked the rim with post players Jaime Nared (game-high 23 points) and Mercedes Russell (15 points 7-of-13 shooting) leading the way. During an excellent fourth quarter in which the Vols made nine of their 13 shots (the visitors were 11-of-16), all 34 points came either in the paint on lay-ins (18) or at the free-throw line after penetration (16).

* For the second time in as many Texas games at 200 Game Season Brooke McCarty struggled. The talented senior guard was 2-of-15 from the field and scored just eight points Sunday. Not coincidentally, Texas lost both games.

It was the Longhorns' first loss after starting the year 7-0.

* Some basketball phrases/nonsense:

"verticality"
"sluggo route"
"taken a turn toward the chippy side"
