 The Lady Vols were awarded the No. 1 seed in the Mideast Regional where their opponent was , oddly enough , also undefeated . The 28 – 0 Lady Flames of Liberty were the champions of the Big South conference , giving them a berth in the tournament as a No. 16 seed . The usual # 1- # 16 blowout occurred , with Tennessee winning 102 – 58 , although in another region this blowout did not occur : No. 16 seed Harvard upset injury @-@ depleted No. 1 seed Stanford 71 – 67 in the West regional . This is the only time that a 16 @-@ seed has beaten a 1 @-@ seed in the NCAA tournament — men 's or women 's . Holdsclaw led Tennessee with 22 points , although Liberty 's Sharon Wilkerson led all scorers with 26 . Four other Lady Vols reached double figures , and both Holdsclaw and Catchings had double @-@ doubles .
