SEATTLE — Tennessee women's basketball fell in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament to Virginia Tech 73-64 on Saturday in Seattle.

Walker has played the last three seasons for UT and made the decision to come back this season for a graduate year. It was her final year of eligibility.

After the game, she gave an emotional response on what it means to her to be a Lady Vol and to have played her final season with Tennessee.
