 After a two @-@ day rest , the Lady Vols resumed their season with three games in five days , starting with their final non @-@ conference opponent , Memphis , on the road . UT started strong , taking a 16 – 6 lead to open up the game , only to give it back up . Memphis delighted its home crowd by taking a 38 – 31 lead with two minutes to go in the half , but Tennessee rallied and took a two @-@ point lead to the locker room . Once again , Tennessee pulled away in the second half , 91 – 65 , behind three players who scored over twenty : Holdsclaw ( 31 ) , Randall ( 21 ) , and Catchings ( 20 ) . The next game was against Auburn , a program that is traditionally competitive within the conference . Once again , Summitt 's team started the game strong , leading 32 – 16 before Auburn woke up , cutting the lead to five by the half . However , the Tigers would not get any closer than this , as Holdsclaw 's 39 points helped Tennessee to yet another win , 79 – 63 . The final game of this stretch was the rematch with Vanderbilt , played on President 's Day in front of a sellout crowd at the Commodores ' quirky Memorial Gymnasium and a national television audience on ESPN . The Commodores started off strong , taking a 16 – 7 lead in front of their home crowd . However Tennessee responded with seventeen straight points to take the lead , and led by nine at the halftime . As in previous games , the Lady Vols made a big run to open up the second half to put the game out of reach . UT won 91 – 60 , with UT shooting over fifty percent yet again . The final game of the regular season came against LSU , a respectable SEC team which beat the Lady Vols the previous season in Baton Rouge , but still a few seasons away from becoming a national power . Tennessee played well on Senior Night , starting with a 32 – 8 lead that would never be given up . Tennessee completed the season with a 90 – 58 win , giving them a perfect 30 – 0 regular season .
