 Tennessee's first Final Four game was against SEC foe, Arkansas, the 9th-seed out of the West Region. The Razorbacks had upset three different teams to reach the Final Four, Hawaiʻi, Kansas, and 2nd-seeded Duke. Despite a poor first half shooting performance, the Vols led 39 – 28 halfway through the game. The second half saw the Lady Vols make over half their shots, propelling the team to the national championship with an 86 – 58, the largest margin of victory in the Women's National Semifinals history.
