The Lady Vols provided an exciting moment for Tennessee fans on Saturday afternoon in Columbia.
UT was in the Show Me State for a conference showdown with Missouri.
With the game tied at 65 and under 10 seconds to play, Tennessee forward Rickea Jackson hit the go-ahead shot while posted up in the lane. Jackson was fouled on the play and added a free throw to secure the 68-65 win for the Lady Vols.
After a shaky start to the season, the Lady Vols have won 12 of their last 13 games, including the last nine games in a row.
Tennessee is now 8-0 in conference play this season (16-6 overall).
There's been plenty of criticism lobbed toward head coach Kellie Harper, but it appears the Lady Vols are on the right track. And it couldn't come at a better time. This is the time of year when programs want to start getting on a roll. What happens before Christmas doesn't have much of an impact on what happens come tourney time.
