The UConn women’s basketball came up short in a fourth-quarter comeback, suffering its first upset against No. 19 Tennessee since 2007.

Just 18 days after giving birth to her son Conor and in the first win for No. 19 Tennessee in this epic rivalry since 2007, first-year coach Kim Caldwell’s Lady Vols took down No. 5 UConn at home, 80-76.
