Moore to have surgery on broken nose

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee point guard Loree Moore will have surgery on her broken nose and is expected to play Thursday at Florida.

Moore was hurt Monday, during the No. 5 Lady Vols' 77-70 win over Georgia. She was hit in the face by the Bulldogs' Sherrill Baker while going after a rebound.

Moore, a senior, walked off the court, dropped to the floor and was briefly unconscious. She was taken off the court in a wheelchair.

Moore was scheduled to have corrective surgery Wednesday. She will have to wear a splint on her nose to play.

Moore missed six games earlier this season after having her tonsils removed and has been in and out of the starting lineup since.
