NEW YORK —Tennessee’s quartet of women’s basketball signees made stop number two on the postseason all-star game tour on Friday, participating in the fourth women’s Jordan Brand Classic at the Barclays Center.
It was Evina Westbrook’s West squad prevailing, taking a 122-81 decision over the East at the home of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. The 6-foot guard from Salem, Oregon (South Salem H.S.), contributed eight points, four assists and three rebounds to the victorious cause. She connected on three of 10 attempts from the field, including a 2-for-6 afternoon behind the three-point arc.
The other three members of the Lady Vols’ No. 1-ranked recruiting class represented the East squad a night after all 24 JBC All-Americans made a visit to the WNBA Draft in Manhattan. Anastasia Hayes, a 5-7 guard from Murfreesboro, Tennessee (Riverdale H.S.), didn’t have a great shooting day at 3-for-13, but she paced UT’s East contingent with eight points, seven boards and two assists. She was one-for-one on three-point attempts.
Rennia Davis, a 6-foot-2 forward from Jacksonville, Florida (Ribault H.S.) contributed five points, four rebounds and one assist. She was one for seven on field goals but three of four from the charity stripe. Kasiyahna Kushkituah, a 6-4 post from Austell, Georgia (St. Francis H.S./Alpharetta, Ga.), added four points and four rebounds for the East squad on two-of-five shooting.
