Tennessee Rolls Southern Indiana 89-44 Behind Season-High 18 Threes

Coach Kim Caldwell targets better scoring off turnovers before the Jan. 1 SEC opener against Florida.

Overview

  • Nya Robertson hit six 3-pointers for 20 points, while freshman Mia Pauldo added 19 with a season-high five 3s.
  • Tennessee’s bench dominated 47-7, and the defense forced 29 turnovers that produced 36 points.
  • Caldwell praised improved sharing with 19 assists, yet cited persistent issues turning pressure into efficient transition offense.
  • Guard Talaysia Cooper finished 2-for-9 in her first single-digit scoring game this season, which Caldwell called a struggle to read ball screens.
  • The Lady Vols are 8-3 entering conference play and are slated to host Florida on Jan. 1 after slipping to No. 21 in the coaches poll.
