The Lady Vols took the court for the first time since their upset victory over No. 15 Notre Dame on Monday, and after a sluggish start, ended up rolling over Tennessee State.

Harper was asked about those comments after the game, and she also gave her thoughts on her team’s performance on Thursday night.
