Prediction: Lady Vols 67, Mississippi State 55
The Lady Vols continue to show signs of struggle, but a dominant defensive performance led by Tamari Key allows Tennessee to obtain a bounce back win.
Expect to see a lot of Rae Burrell on offense and an attempt to get Sara Puckett and Alexus Dye involved on both ends of the floor.
With the win, the Lady Vols ensure that they will at least tie for fourth place in the conference, and that is if Ole Miss wins out. The Lady Rebels are set to take on No. 1 South Carolina on Sunday, so the likelihood of running the table is grim.
