  Hold the phone. Tennessee is on a 13-0 run.

  See score above.
  
  
• 6:54, 2nd half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 64-46.
  Trevesha Jackson just nailed an and-one. Tennessee can't counter this enthusiasm ... and Summitt is stewing on the sideline. She's done all she can do. It's rare that UT takes a beating like this.
  
  
• 10:00, 2nd half (Tennessee calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 60-41.
  Auburn is demolishing this team.
  
  
• 11:34, 2nd half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 55-41.
  Tennessee seems so much weaker now. All those freshman, all these people here, all that experience on the other team.
  
  
• 12:34, 2nd half (Tennessee calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 55-39.
  Every mistake Tennessee makes now, Auburn pounces and scores.
  
  
• 15:15, 2nd half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads 44-33.
  Boddie is commanding this game. Tennessee has nobody who can stick with her shakes. It's playground time. Boddie is at the line for a 1-and-1 right now.
  
  
• 16:46, 2nd half (Tennessee calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 41-31.
  Summitt knows her team is getting worked by Whitney Boddie and Bonner right now. Bonner scored on an and-one. Boddie stole a UT pass and now she's at the line for another and-one. Tennessee can't do much with Bonner right now. She's a unique defensive challenge.

• HALFTIME
  Auburn leads, 31-26.
  
  
• 1:17, 1st half (Tennessee calls timeout) -- Auburn leads, 27-23.
  DeWanna Bonner is working UT badly right now. Pat Summitt had enough.
  
  
• 3:43, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 22-19.
  Pretty static. Auburn got some use out of KeKe Carrier, but she's out of gas now. The Tigers can't get much going offensively. Tennessee's zone is too much right now. Tennessee is trying to work inside -- with mixed success.
  
  
• 7:35, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 17-13.
  Neither team can get much going offensively. They have plans; the defensive intensity on both ends is overpowering. Tennessee is getting offensive rebounds. Auburn is creating turnovers. That's the only thing helping either team score.
  
  
• 11:46, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 12-9.
  Tennessee has committed seven turnovers already. The Tigers still only lead by three points.
  
  
• 15:58, 1st half (media timeout) -- Auburn leads, 7-4.
