FREEPORT, Bahamas – Tennessee coach Holly Warlick knows success for the Lady Vols is very simple. Play good defense and rebound and good things will happen.

The third-ranked Lady Vols got both in an 87-47 rout of SMU on Friday night to win the Junkanoo Jam.

“Defense and rebounding starts our whole offense,” Warlick said. “Tonight they saw the end result of what we’ve been trying to do.”

Tennessee (7-0) outrebounded SMU 54-31 and held the Mustangs to just 26 percent shooting.

“Our defense was solid tonight,” Warlick added. “We probably had too many fouls in the first half, but I think we shut down a very talented young lady in (Keena) Mays. She’s a great player.”
