GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Tennessee women's basketball opened up SEC play with a win over rival Florida on Thursday night in Gainesville.

In the second half, Tennessee opened up a double-digit lead when Jordan Horston made a three-pointer to put Tennessee up 43-31. The Lady Vols kept their distance, leading by double digits for quite some time.
