Porsha Phillips scored the go-ahead basket
off a pass from Ashley Houts with 39 seconds remaining, then added
two free throws that clinched No. 8 Georgia's 53-50 upset of
third-ranked Tennessee in a rugged Southeastern Conference showdown
Thursday night.
Houts led the Lady Bulldogs (18-1, 5-1 SEC) with 12 points and
Phillips had 10, but this bruising game was decided at the
defensive end. Georgia managed to win even though it missed 16 of
its first 19 shots in the second half against the Lady Volunteers
(16-2, 4-1).
Tennessee turned the ball over 23 times and couldn't stop the
Lady Dogs from stealing it away at the end. Alyssia Brewer
converted a three-point play that put the Lady Vols ahead, but
Phillips scored the final four points to give Georgia one of its
biggest victories in years.
