In a dominant performance, the No. 18 Tennessee Lady Vols crushed Winthrop 112-40 on Sunday. Senior forward Janiah Barker led the way with 20 points and 10 rebounds, achieving a milestone by surpassing 1,000 career points. Mia Pauldo also notched a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists. The Lady Vols' offense was unstoppable, shooting 55% overall and making nine three-pointers. Their 39-point second quarter set the tone for the game, with a 66-17 halftime lead. Tennessee continued to pull away, adding 27 points in the third quarter and holding a 93-30 lead heading into the fourth. The Lady Vols' 72-point win is a testament to their growing momentum, having won seven of their last eight games. This victory comes on the one-year anniversary of their record-setting 139-59 win over North Carolina Central, which also set a new program high for points scored. Tennessee will face No. 22 Louisville on Saturday at the Women's Champions Classic in New York, while Winthrop heads to Charlotte on Wednesday.
