(WVLT) &#8211; Playing its third game in five days, Kim Caldwell\u2019s 21st ranked Lady Vols took to the Summitt floor Thursday night looking to stop the bleeding following consecutive losses to #4 Texas and 17th ranked Ole Miss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">It certainly wasn\u2019t the start the head coach had hoped for, watching her team fall behind 10-0 to start the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">But the Lady Vols would rally and pull to within five points in the 2nd quarter thanks to a big three pointer by Janiah barker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">And five points would be the difference at the break with the Aggies leading Tennessee 47-42.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">But the third quarter was unkind to the home team. The lady Vols went seven minutes without a field goal while watching the Texas A&amp;M lead grow to as much as 9 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The Lady Vols cut the Aggies lead down to 2 points in the 4th but Texas A&amp;M held on for a big road win to pick up their 4th SEC win while the Lay Vols fall to 17-9 overall and 8-5 in SEC play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">It\u2019s back on the road Sunday for Tennessee as the ladies travel to Norman to take on Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WVLT.
