COLUMBIA, Mo. – Rennia Davis made two free throws to break a tie with 52.6 seconds left as the Tennessee women’s basketball team edged Missouri 62-60 Sunday, winning for the fifth time in its past six games.
The Southeastern Conference matchup was tied at 60 when Davis pulled down an offensive rebound and got fouled.
Missouri’s Akira Levy missed a 3-point attempt for the win with two seconds left. The Tigers (19-8, 8-5) got one last chance when Davis committed an offensive foul with 0.3 second left, but the buzzer sounded before a desperation 3-point attempt.
“Hey, great win for us,” Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick told reporters after the game. “I loved our effort, our energy. We needed to get stops, and we did.”
Davis, a sophomore forward, grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds to notch her 17th double-double as a Lady Vol.
