Women's tournament
edit
The women's tournament was organized as two divisions of four teams, each playing each other in a round-robin format.[2]
Island Division
editOn Thanksgiving, Tennessee beat Missouri 82–44, while Georgetown beat Georgia Tech 67–58.[3] The next day, 12th-ranked (AP) Georgetown lost to unranked Missouri 54–45, while Tennessee beat Georgia Tech 66–42.[4] On the final day of the tournament, Georgia Tech beat Missouri, 61–46.
The other final game matched up Georgetown, with a 1–1 record, against Tennessee, who was ranked 4th in the AP poll. Georgetown's Sugar Rogers, who had not played particularly well in the first two games of the tournament, had 28 points to help lead her team to an upset victory over Tennessee. The Hoyas opened up with an 11–4 run and never trailed. Tennessee out-rebounded Georgetown 42—24, but committed 29 turnovers. Both teams shot about 40% from the field, but the Hoyas had an advantage beyond the arc, hitting 10 of their 18 three point attempts, while the Volunteers hit only three of 18 attempts.[5][6] The two team ended with 2–1 records, but with the head-to-head tiebreaker, Georgetown won the Island Division championship of the Paradise Jam.[2][7]
