Delet KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee freshman point guard Lauren Avant has decided she will not return next season. Coach Pat Summitt said Wednesday that Avant wanted to attend a smaller Division II school possibly closer to her hometown where she could continue focusing on academics. The 5-foot-9 Memphis native struggled with an ankle injury, concussions and illness all season and played in just 19 games.
