What's the bigger shocker - that Tennessee lost for the second time in a row last night or that they lost at Kentucky? I'm not sure, but Kentucky beat Tennesse last night 66-63 before a school record 13,689 fans at Rupp Arena.

This was the first win ever over a #1 team for the Wildcats. It was also the first time since January 1986 that Kentucky beat Tennessee, a streak of 24 games. It was also the first time since 1997 that the Lady Vols lost two in a row in a season.

Tennessee was coming off a big loss at Duke and apparently had not recoved from it as UK took a five point lead at halftime. UK built the lead by scoring four times on backdoor cuts and five other baskets right at the rim. According to Summitt, "We lost the ball game in the first half. I don't have any excuses for this team. I don't know when they're going to show up and play."

The Lady Vols recovered defensively in the second half, holding Kentucky to one basket in a stretch of 11 possessions. This turned a six point deficit into a 56-52 lead. But the final outcome was decided on two UK free throws and an open shot UT missed.

Candace Parker led all scorers with 25 points and added 9 rebounds. But she was the only Lady Vol in double figures as UT shot 39% from the field. Jenny Pfeiffer led the 'Cats in scoring with 16 points, including the decisive free throws with 15 seconds left.
