Cooper’s Last-Second Steal Lifts No. 17 Tennessee Over No. 12 Kentucky, 60–58

Caldwell took blame for Cooper’s off night after a simple “get a stop” directive produced the winner.

Overview

Tennessee edged Kentucky 60–58 as Talaysia Cooper intercepted the inbounds pass with 0.1 seconds left to end the game.
Coach Kim Caldwell said she “overcoached” Cooper, then told her to “get a stop” on the final possession.
Cooper finished with seven points on 3-for-15 shooting but added five rebounds, five steals and three assists.
Foul trouble limited Cooper, who sat much of the third quarter with three fouls as Tennessee’s lead narrowed.
The win at Food City Center moved the No. 17 Lady Vols to 14–3 and 6–0 in the SEC against a No. 12 Kentucky team now 17–4 and 4–3.
