KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee got the ball to Candace Parker inside -- just the way coach Pat Summitt prefers. Parker had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and the third-ranked Lady Vols pulled away in the second half for a 73-57 win over No. 9 Georgia on Monday night. Parker turned it on in the second half after scoring only four points in the first. She found a way to score around tough defenders in the paint, and her teammates benefited with open outside shots.
"No one can really defend Parker on the inside unless they do double-team her. She's the kind of player who can make people pay by kicking out of the double-teams," Summitt said. "I think that's the way we have to play if we want to be one of the best teams in the country. We just have to have the inside-outside mentality."
Alexis Hornbuckle added 14 points and Alex Fuller had 11 for the Lady Vols (21-2, 8-0 Southeastern Conference), who opened the second half with a 16-2 run.
