In the February 21 game against LSU, Diamond DeShields scored her 1,000th point. She is the sixth Lady Vol to score 1,000 in her second season and the 43rd to record 1,000 in her career.

Despite having a lackluster performance during the season that dropped them out of the national top-25 ranks in the latter half, Tennessee made it to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament. There, they lost to Mississippi State, 58–48. The Lady Vols also received an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament, and advanced to the Elite Eight, before losing 89–67 to Syracuse.
