(AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)NASHVILLE-The Tennessee Lady Vols are playing so well these days, they have coach Pat Summitt singing.
Angie Bjorklund scored 23 points, including seven 3s, and No. 4 Tennessee hit a school- and tournament-record 16 3-pointers to beat No. 16 Kentucky 90-65 Sunday in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
It was the most points ever scored in this game and such a dominating performance that Summitt celebrated by grabbing a microphone and belting out a version of “Rocky Top” with her Lady Vols and the pep band. Then she went a capella by herself.
“She’s got a good voice,” Bjorklund said of Summitt’s singing.
Summitt, whose voice was raspy after yelling mostly at the officials, has reason to sing.
