Noting South CarolinaTidbits

South Carolina has won six SEC games for just the eighth time in its 21 years in the league.

Three of those eight times have been under head coach Dawn Staley.

The most SEC games the Gamecocks have ever won is 10 in 2001-02.

South Carolina’s defense, rated second in the na-tion in points allowed (47.5), has held an oppo-nent to 48 or fewer points 11 times this season, including four SEC foes – Alabama (42), Florida (44), Ole Miss (43) and Mississippi State (43).

South Carolina has had a huge scoring boon in its current three-game win streak as the Game-cocks averaged 65.0 points over stretch.

Prior to that, the Gamecocks were scoring just 56.2 points per game in league play prior to the start of this streak.

The 4-1-1 on South Carolina Before facing Tennessee, South Carolina seniors

La’Keisha Sutton and Markeshia Grant led the way in the Gamecocks 69-43 victory over Missis-sippi State on Jan. 29 Columbia, S.C.

Sutton scored 17 points, her 11th double-fi gure game in the last 14 outings, while Grant had 15.

USC turned an eight-point halftime lead into a comfortable margin with an immediate 17-3 run in the second half.

Tough defense by South Carolina limited the Bulldogs to only 11-of-28 shooting in the fi rst half.

Defensive rebounding (11 boards) was a big fac-tor in fueling the Gamecocks’ off ense and USC allowed just two second-chance points the en-tire fi rst half.

The Gamecocks came out in the second half and went up 47-25, the largest lead of the game, just fi ve minutes the half.

South Carolina shot a season high 49.1 fi eld goal percentage and out-worked the Lady Bull-dogs on the boards only allowing three second-chance points on the game and turning 27 de-fensive rebounds into 21 fast break points.

Our Last Meeting with South Carolina No. 4-ranked Tennessee clinched at least a share

of its 16th SEC regular season championship with an 82-60 victory over South Carolina on Feb. 17, 2011 at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The Lady Vols improved to 13-0 in the confer-ence and 25-2 overall in a game that was never in doubt.

Junior Lyssi Brewer, in her fi rst start of the sea-son, scored a season-best seven points in the game’s fi rst fi ve minutes and fi ve seconds.

She also ripped down a season-best 10 boards in 17 minutes.

The real star for the Big Orange, however, was junior Alicia Manning.

A-Town scored a career-best 22 points, including her fi rst three trey attempts of the game.

She made 8-of-11 fi eld goal attempts, grabbed fi ve boards and grabbed three steals in 26 min-utes.

Junior Shekinna Stricklen recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 12 points and 10 boards, while Meighan Simmons dropped in 17 points and four assists.

Tennessee held the Gamecocks without a fi eld goal for eight minutes and 12 seconds of the fi rst half.

After Courtney Newton’s three at the 17:46 mark in the fi rst half, USC didn’t score a bucket until Markeshia Grant hit a three with 9:34 remaining until the break.

At that point, the Lady Vols led 21-10 after going on a 17-2 run.

In the second half, UT used a 10-0 run to put the game away.

Tennessee led to 70-47 with 6:29 left in the game.

Dealings with DawnStaley was MVP -- UT Won the NCAA Title

At the 1991 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans, La., Tennessee and Virginia squared off in the NCAA Championship game.

The Virginia point guard at the time was Dawn Staley who helped her team stage a furious comeback to tie the game at 60-all in regulation.

Staley scored 28 points before fouling out and was named the MVP – except the ballots were counted in the fi nal three minutes during regu-lation.

UT guard Dena Head also scored 28 points and led the Lady Vols in the overtime stanza to a 70-67 victory over UVA. It was the fi rst ever NCAA OT championship game.

Summitt vs. Staley Before she became head coach at South Caroli-

na, Hall of Famers Dawn Staley and Pat Summitt met twice before when Staley was head coach at Temple.

Her Owls were 0-2 vs. UT. The #1-ranked Lady Vols narrowly won in Knox-

ville, 52-48, in 2004, and then took a 75-50 win in Philadelphia in 2005.

HEADING INTO THE GAME… UT and USC meet today for the 47th time in the series. The Lady Vols have recorded 40 consecutive victories over the Gamecocks dat-ing back to the 1979-80 season when UT asso-ciate head coach Holly Warlick was the starting point guard. Warlick was quarterbacking the team the only time UT lost to USC in the Sum-mitt Era. The day after the loss, the Lady Vol play-ers wore their game uniforms in practice -- since (then) Coach Pat Head said her team “had only played for about 20 minutes in them.”

Is closing in on a milestone of 1,100 W’s -- needs just 13 more.

Collected her record 1000th coaching win with a 73-43 decision over Georgia on Feb. 5, 2009.

She passed Dean Smith (879 wins) for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 victory over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005.

Her 2006-07 and 2007-08 squads were crowned as the NCAA Champions producing the program’s seventh and eighth titles.

Last season, UT fi nished with a 34-3 overall re-cord and was crowned both the SEC Champi-ons and the SEC Tournament Champions.

This season, UT returned eight letterwinners and welcomed a talented three player rookie class.

Our Schedule This Week Home Sweet Home! The Lady Vols will enjoy

fi ve games at home and three on the road in the month of February.

This week, Tennessee entertains South Caroli-na on Feb. 2 and Auburn on Feb. 5 in Knoxville.

On This Day in LV Basketball History UT is 13-3-1 in games played on Feb. 2. The Lady Vols are 8-1 at home, 5-2-1 on the

road and 0-0 on neutral courts. The last time out on Feb. 2, #12/15-ranked UT

lost to #2/2 Oklahoma, 70-80, in Oklahoma City, Okla., in 2009.

Looking Back Last year at this time, the #5/6-ranked Lady

Vols (21-2 overall, 9-0 SEC) had just defeated Arkansas, 72-53, in Fayetteville.

Looking Ahead Enjoying Thompson-Boling Arena for another

home game. Tennessee meets Auburn for the second time

this season on Feb. 5. The Lady Vols knocked off the Tigers in the fi rst

SEC game of 2011-12 on The Plains on Jan. 1, 2012 by a 73-52 margin.

Rim RunnersUT’s SEC Streak in TBA

Overall, the Lady Vols have won 28 consecu-tive SEC games in Thompson-Boling Arena dating back to 2008.

The Lady Vols last SEC home loss was to #7-ranked LSU on Feb. 14, 2008, 78-62.

Noting Tonight’s Game The Lady Vols averaged 76.5 points in two vic-

tories over the Gamecocks last season. As a rookie, Meighan Simmons erupted for 30

points in two contests versus South Carolina in 2010-11.

In fi ve career games against USC, senior Shek-inna Stricklen has averaged 10.7 ppg.

At home, the Big Orange are outscoring the opposition by 25.1 points.

Nikki McCray Knows TBA South Carolina assistant coach Nikki McCray

knows her way around Thompson-Boling Arena.

As a forward/guard wearing number 23 for the Lady Vols from 1991-95, McCray was a Ko-dak All-American.

The 5’11” Collierville, Tenn., native scored 1,572 career points (12.4 ppg), grabbed 671 rebounds (5.3 rpg) and snagged 289 steals (2.3 spg) while starring in 127 Lady Vol games.

One of McCray’s most notable lifelong events occurred on The Summitt in Thompson-Bol-ing Arena.

As a member of the 1996 USA Olympic Team, the squad played an exhibition game against the Lady Vols in Knoxville on Nov. 22, 1995.

McCray was surprised with a marriage pro-posal at center court following the game.

Trends UT’s 86-point output against Alabama last

week was the most points the Lady Vols have scored this season on the road.

The Bama game also marked the 11th time during the 2011-12 campaign that UT scored 80 or more points.

Shekinna Stricklen averaged 14.3 ppg last week on the road, leading the team in scoring at Alabama and Georgia.

Last week, thieves ran wild over the Lady Vols. Notre Dame swiped the ball 11 times and Georgia gathered in 10 steals. Virginia rang the bell with 13 thefts in their 69-64 win over UT.

Ariel Massengale, who ranks fourth in the country with a 2.62 assist-to-turnover ratio, is

TENNESSEE VS. SOUTH CAROLINA FEB. 2, 2012

just three assists shy of tallying 100 helpers on the season.

Freshman Cierra Burdick has started the last two games, and averaged 6.50 ppg.

Eclipsed 200,000 at GeorgiaLeading the Nation

A crowd of 10,523 in Athens, Ga., for the Tennes-see vs. Georgia put UT over 200,000 spectators on the season.

204,984 have seen Tennessee play at home, on the road and on one neutral court.

In 10 games at home, the Lady Vols have attract-ed 138,117 spectators.

UT went over the 100,000 mark in home fans in just eight games this season in Knoxville.

Dropping Dimes‘Rel Can Dish

Frosh Ariel Massengale is just three assists away from 100 for the season.

She has handed out 97 assists in 18 games. She recorded 12 scoring passes against Vander-

bilt for the UT single game rookie record on Jan. 15.

At Alabama on Jan. 26, she handed out 11 assists in 28 minutes.

When she hits the century mark, she’ll become just the 10th Lady Vol rookie to dish 100 fi rst year helpers.

Loree Moore (2001-05) holds the freshman assist record with 133 assists in 34 games (3.91 apg).

Also in the UT rookie 100 assist club are: Dawn Marsh (127), Lea Henry (119), Dena Head 118, Holly Warlick (112), Alexis Hornbuckle (110), Kris-ten “Ace” Clement (107), Meighan Simmons (104) and Candace Parker (103).

For Real ReboundingChasing Chamique

Grad student Glory Johnson eclipsed 1,000 ca-reer rebounds at Arkansas and joined an exclu-sive club with three other Lady Vols.

Johnson immediately passed Tamika Catchings who had 1,004 caroms in nearly four full years of play.

Since then, the Knoxville native has also passed Sheila Frost (1,043 rebounds in 138 games).

Entering the game with South Carolina, Johnson has 1,061 career rebounds in 126 games.

She is chasing Chamique Holdsclaw who col-lected 1,295 rebounds in 148 career games.

Former UT Players & Staffers in CoachingTough W’s against Summitt

The roll call goes like this: Sylvia Hatchell, Sharon Fanning, Jane Albright, Lea Henry, Nancy Darsch, Trish Roberts, Mickie DeMoss, Matthew Mitchell, Kellie Jolly Harper , Tanya Haave and Nikki Caldwell.

UT coach Pat Summitt has faced many for-mer players and assistant coaches in a variety of games thru the years as opposing head coaches, but no former Lady Vol player has ever knocked off her mentor.

Former assistant Carolyn Peck was the fi rst to record a victory over her former boss. While at Purdue, Peck handed Summitt a 78-68 loss on Nov. 15, 1998 in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic in West Lafayette, Ind. The defeat snapped UT’s 46-game consecutive win-ning streak (that was second only to Louisi-ana Tech’s NCAA all-time 54-game winning streak).

Former assistants Mickie DeMoss and Mat-thew Mitchell turned the winning trick as head coaches at Kentucky, (DeMoss 66-63, on Jan. 26, 2006 and Mitchell 66-56 on Feb. 19, 2009 and 61-60 on Jan. 12, 2012 -- all in Lexington), and Sylvia Hatchell managed to pull off the feat twice at North Carolina (75-

63 on Mar. 28, 2006 and 70-57, Dec. 3, 2006).Facing Coach Summitt

Former Lady Vol players turned head coach-es have been less successful. Former Lady Vol All-America Patricia Roberts tried while head coach at Maine (0-2, lost 77-64 on Dec. 13, 1990 and 86-71 on Nov. 24, 1991).

Former Lady Vol Olympian and point guard Lea Henry faced Summitt in the NCAA Tour-nament with her Georgia State team and lost 98-68 on Mar. 15, 2002.

Next to try to knock off Summitt was Kellie Jolly Harper with her Western Carolina team on Mar. 20, 2005. The Lady Catamounts lost 94-43.

UT All-American and then San Francisco head coach Tanya Haave. “LaMachine’s” Dons fell to UT on Nov. 15, 2008, 68-39. A little over a week later, Harper’s WCU team fell to Sum-mitt’s Lady Vols, 83-56, on Nov. 25, 2008.

The next player to try the knock-off was then UCLA skipper Nikki Caldwell who lost 61-47 on Nov. 28, 2009 in TBA to the #6/5 Lady Vols.

Caldwell once again attempted to defeat both her former coach and boss when her LSU Lady Tigers visited Thompson-Boling Arena on Jan. 19.

In a battle, the Lady Vols prevailed 65-56.Current Collegiate Head Coaches

Nikki Caldwell is one of 10 Lady Vol players who are now serving as head college coaches.

Also in head coaching roles are: Jody Adams (UT 1989-93) at Wichita State; Niya Butts (UT 1996-2000) at Arizona; Tonya Edwards (UT 1986-90) at Alcorn State; Teresa Geter (UT 1997-99) at De-nark (S.C.); Tanya Haave (UT 1980-84) at Metro State (Colo.); Gwen Jackson (1999-2003) at St. Paul’s College (Va.); Kellie Jolly Harper (UT 1995-99) at N.C. State; Lea Henry Manning (UT 1979-83) at Darton College (Ga.), and Semeka Randall (UT 1997-2001) at Ohio University.

Current Collegiate Assistant Coaches Nine Lady Vols are in current assistant coaching

roles in the college game including at least one on each sideline in the Kentucky, South Caro-lina and LSU games.

Holly Warlick (UT 1976-80) is the associate head coach at Tennessee. On the Kentucky bench are Kyra Elzy (UT 1996-01) and Shalon Pillow (UT 1998-02); the South Carolina bench, Nikki McCray (UT 1991-95) and the LSU bench, Tasha Butts (UT 2000-04) who is in her fi rst season at LSU with Caldwell.

Wooden Award Mid-Season ListTwo Lady Vols Named

The John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 was announced by The Los Angeles Athletic Club on Jan. 27 and Tennessee Lady Vols Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen earned spots on the elite list.

Sweet Home Tennessee Since Tennessee began contesting games

with SEC opponents, the Lady Vols have pro-duced a 188-12 record in home games.

Only six SEC teams have ever managed a vic-tory over the Lady Vols in Knoxville – Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss.

Georgia has won three games on UT’s turf while Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and LSU have registered two wins each and Florida one win.

Georgia was the only team to defeat UT at home in the 1990s (1991 & 1996).

LSU and Florida are the only SEC teams to de-feat UT at home in the 21st century.

Items of Interest Since Pat Head Summitt arrived as head coach

at UT in 1974, the other 11 Southeastern Con-ference schools have seen a total of 69 coach-es at the helm of their women’s basketball programs.

Over the last 38 years, Tennessee has enjoyed one head coach for Lady Vol hoops -- Sum-mitt. Next to Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia and Vanderbilt are the SEC programs with the next fewest head coaches over the 38 year span -- just four each 1996.

Tennessee owns a 453-67 record all-time record vs. 12 teams from the SEC. UT maintains a win-ning record against every team in the SEC.

UT owns a league best record of 312-41 (.884) against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season.

Tennessee practically holds a winning streak over every SEC team. The Lady Vols sport 30-plus game winning streaks over three SEC teams -- South Carolina 40, Alabama 38, and Mississippi State 32.

Five conference foes broke Lady Vol winning streaks in the 2008-09 season when Auburn, Kentucky, LSU and Vanderbilt all tagged UT with a loss. Mississippi State is still the only SEC school never to defeat Tennessee.

After only winning nine SEC games in 2009, UT rallied and hit double-digits again in 2010 and 2011.

All-time, the Lady Vols have registered dou-ble-digit victories in conference play an in-credible 17 times.

Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play fi rst expanded, the Lady Vols have won at least 10 games in the following years: 1992-10 wins, 1993-11, 1994-11, 1995-11, 1998-14, 1999-13, 2000-13, 2001-14, 2002-13, 2003-14, 2004-14, 2005-13, 2006-11, 2007-14, 2008-13, 2010-15 and 2011-16 wins.

We Bounced Yet AgainBounced Back from Loss Number Five

Tennessee bounced back from loss number fi ve of the season at #2/2-ranked Notre Dame with an 86-56 win at Alabama on Jan. 26.

The last time UT had fi ve losses on Feb. 2 was the Cinderella Season of 1996-97.

The Lady Vols actually had seven losses at that point in the year (L’s to #8 La Tech, #5 Georgia, #1 Stanford, #22 Arkansas, #1UConn, #4 Old Dominion and #19 Florida).

The last time UT took (at least) fi ve losses on the year was the 11 “L” season in 2008-09.

Turning Point?Line-up Shake-up

Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt decided to tweak the line-up in the game at Alabama on Jan. 26.

Earning her fi rst career start was freshman Cierra Burdick.

Burdick became the 62nd player in Lady Vol histo-ry to start during her freshman campaign. Fellow freshman Ariel Massengale was No. 61 on that list, starting the fi rst game of the season versus Pep-perdine.

Also receiving the starting nod was senior Briana Bass who started for the fi rst time this season and the 15th time in her career.

Shekinna’s Number was Not Called Lady Vol senior Shekinna Stricklen had the na-

tion’s longest starting streak entering the 2011-12 season.

Stricklen started 121 consecutive times before sitting out the LSU game due to injury.

She started the very next game against Notre Dame to up her starts to 122 in a LV uniform.

Alabama marked the fi rst time in her Lady Vol career she did not start a game when she was available to play.

What ‘Cha Got Rookie?Burdick Makes the Most of her Opportunity

Rookie Cierra Burdick is the fi rst one in the gym and the last one to leave.

Against LSU, all of her extra hard work paid off as she logged a career high 31 minutes en route to dropping in 15 points and grabbing six rebounds.

She started the second half for Glory Johnson who suff ered a shoulder injury.

Even when Johnson returned, the Lady Vol coaching staff elected to keep UT’s AutoZone Player of the Game on the fl oor.

Free Throw Defense7-of-16 vs. Notre Dame & 18-for-31 Against LSU

UT made 16 trips to the charity stripe against Notre Dame and connected on a paltry seven tosses for 43.8 percent.

Tennessee might have defeated LSU by 20 points or more if the Lady Tigers free throw de-fense hadn’t been so tough.

The Lady Vols were an anemic 18 for 31 from the

charity stripe for 58.1 percent.I Swear We Practice

Making free throws has always been a team pri-ority and some of the LSU misses came from nor-mally reliable shooters.

Vicki Baugh went 2-for-6 from the line. She is a 72.7 career free throw shooter.

Since enduring a miserable 52.4 percent inaccu-racy from the free throw line in the loss to Vir-ginia in overtime, you’d think the Lady Vols had learned their lesson.

On the season, UT’s free throw percentage has yo-yoed from the 70 percent range to the pres-ent of 69.5 percent (328-472) .

Glory Johnson has been sent to the line a team high 130 times and connected on just 80 for a dismal 61.5 accuracy rate.

She was the DishSEC Player of the Week

After breaking the Lady Vol record for rookie as-sists on Jan. 15, Tennessee guard Ariel Massen-gale was tabbed for the SEC Women’s Basketball Co-Freshmen of the Week honor on Jan. 16.

Massengale shared her achievement with LSU freshman forward Krystal Forthan.

In two games against ranked SEC opponents, Massengale averaged 6.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 8.5 apg, while playing 35.5 mpg in the team’s split with a loss at #9/8 Kentucky (61-60) and a win over #25/24 Vanderbilt (87-64).

Massengale had her “assistfest” against Vander-bilt dishing out 12 scoring passes while adding six points, two rebounds and a couple of steals.

The dozen helpers against the Commodores breaks the previous mark set by Meighan Sim-mons (11 assists vs. Alabama 1/6/11).

Her 12 assists also tied for the fi fth-most in UT history with current associate head coach Holly Warlick who had 12 assists against Clemson in 1980.

Previously, Massengale was tabbed as the SEC Freshman of the Week on Dec. 5 and joins UT grad student Glory Johnson for dual Lady Vol conference honors. Johnson was named as the SEC Player of the Week on both Jan. 2 and 9.

Broke Rookie Record Freshman Ariel Massengale broke the Lady Vol

rookie record for assists with 12 against Vander-bilt on Jan. 15.

Massengale eclipsed the previous record of 11 assists set by Meighan Simmons against Ala-bama on Jan. 6, 2011.

Golden GirlsRookies Recognized

In recognition of an impressive gold-medal per-formance at the 2011 FIBA U19 World Champi-onship this past summer, USA Basketball today announced the USA Women’s U19 World Cham-pionship Team as the 2011 USA Basketball Team of the Year.

Lady Vol rookies Ariel Massengale and Cierra Burdick were members of the championship team.

Topping opponents by an average of 16.6 points per game during the July 21-31 tournament in Puerto Montt, Chile, the U.S. fi nished 8-1 to cap-ture the gold medal and stand atop the FIBA U19 World Championship podium for a fourth-straight time.

Home Wins for SummittSummitt at 500

With a 87-64 victory over Vanderbilt, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt collected her 500th career win at home.

Of the now 501 wins (thru the LSU victory), a total of 179 have come against ranked oppo-

nents in Knoxville. Summitt has claimed victories in Alumni Gym,

Stokely Athletics Center and Thompson-Bol-ing Arena on the UT campus over the last 38 years.

And Summitt at 200 The 87-64 victory over Vanderbilt on Jan. 15,

2011 was also another home milestone for Summitt...Her 200th SEC home win.

Top of the ClassIn Grad School

Classes started for the Spring semester 2012 at UT on Jan. 11.

Three Lady Vols are enrolled in grad school as they complete their UT eligibility -- Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson and Alicia Manning.

Baugh has one class to take to fi nish require-ments for a M.S. in Kinesiology.

Johnson graduated in just three years and is a M.S. candidate in Communications.

Wednesday was the fi rst day of grad school for Manning who graduated in December 2011. She is seeking a M.S. in Kinesiology.

Things to ConsiderOver 100,000

Tennessee eclipsed 100,000 fans at home games this season in just eight contests.

This is the 18th consecutive season UT has gone over 100,000 at home.

The Lady Vols have entertained 138,117 fans (13,812 average) in Thompson-Boling Arena in 2011-12.

The game versus Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2011 drew the highest total at home this season, 17,879.

No Secrets -- Even if We Tried The Lady Vols have appeared on television in

19 of 21 games. Every Tennessee game in the SEC package is

slated for TV this year. UT will have 27 of 29 regular season games on

television this season.SEC Streak in TBA

Overall, the Lady Vols have won 28 consecu-tive SEC games in Thompson-Boling Arena dating back to 2008.

The Lady Vols last SEC home loss was to #7-ranked LSU on Feb. 14, 2008, 78-62.

Elite CompanyGlory -- Maybe This Season?

It’s a fact that Tennessee has produced some of the greatest players ever in women’s collegiate basketball.

It’s a little known fact that there has only been one double-fi gure rebounder in the history of the program -- Olympian and Kodak All-Ameri-can Patricia Roberts.

Roberts hauled in 14.2 rpg (467 total) in her only season as a Lady Vol in 1976-77. She also claimed scoring honors with 29.9 ppg (987 points) in her single season on The Hill.

In 2006-07, Candace Parker came the closest to a double-fi gure rebounding average but had to settle for 9.8 rpg.

Last season, Glory Johnson fl irted with the elu-sive double-digit and managed 9.7 rpg.

Johnson is currently averaging 9.4 rpg.From the Chalk BoardMUST Control the Glass

Tennessee has lost the rebounding battle against Miami; in back-to-back games against UCLA and Stanford, and to Notre Dame.

Conversely, the Lady Vols held a decisive re-bounding edge over #1-ranked Baylor grabbing 56 rebounds to the Lady Bears’ 42.

It’s Not Better to Give

Tennessee has been its own worst enemy turn-ing the ball over.

UT committed a total of 24 turnovers in the loss to Virginia which led to 29 UVa points but did a little bit better job against Baylor with just 11 miscues leading to 14 Lady Bear points.

In a sprint fest against Texas, UT’s ball security led to just nine giveaways.

On the season, UT has generated 17.2 points off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 13.1 ppg off of Orange mistakes.

UT leads in second chance points per game at 17.1 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.4 ppg.

NCAA’s Ford Award Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was the recipi-

ent of the 2012 NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award.

Summitt was recognized during the opening business session on Jan. 12 at the 2012 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.

The Lady Vols played at Kentucky, so Summitt will address the Convention attendees in a taped video message and Joan Cronan will ac-cept the award on Summitt’s behalf.

Announced on Dec. 6 the award is named in rec-ognition of former President Gerald Ford, honors an individual who has provided signifi cant lead-ership as an advocate for intercollegiate athlet-ics over the course of their career.

NCAA President Mark Emmert said her contribu-tions to intercollegiate athletics over almost four decades go well beyond one sport.

“Coach Summitt has been recognized numerous times for her contributions to women’s basket-ball – and rightly so,” Emmert said.

“The Ford Award honors her for what she has meant to intercollegiate athletics through her career and for the positive example she contin-ues to set today. “

Former Players Compile a Memory Book After hearing of Tennessee Lady Vol Coach Pat

Summitt’s diagnosis of early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type, Chamique Holdsclaw reached out to players spanning all decades of Lady Vol basketball to compile a “memory book” for their coach.

Holdsclaw, a four-time Lady Vols All-American from 1995-99, contacted former Lady Vol play-ers, managers and staff ers asking them to share written memories, Summitt’s infl uence on their lives, and photos of their time in the program. The Astoria, N.Y., native then compiled all of the submissions into a book.

“I know my relationship with Coach Summitt through the death of my grandmother and me going through my ups and downs battling de-pression,’’ said Holdsclaw. “What I realized from these letters is coach has helped these players through some of the most diffi cult times of their lives. When I’m reading them, I’m thinking, ‘Wow

Maggie Dixon Award Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt was presented with

the Maggie Dixon Courage Award at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11, 2011.

The Award is presented annually to an individu-al who exhibits courage in the face of adversity and continues to exemplify Maggie’s mantra of never allowing adversity to get in the way of achieving a dream.

Sports Illustrated Sportswoman for 2011 As the all-time winningest coach in NCAA col-

legiate basketball, University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt has won her fair share of awards over the past 38 years.

On Dec. 5, 2011 Summitt joined an elite group of sports superstars when it was announced by Time Inc. Sports Group editor Terry McDonell that she, and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, were the 2011 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year.

On Tues., Dec. 6 Summitt and Krzyzewski were feted at a celebration in New York City and were joined by fellow Sportswomen and Sportsmen Chris Evert (1976), Sugar Ray Leonard (1981), Wayne Gretzky (1982), David Robinson (2003) and David Ortiz (2004).

Summitt and Krzyzewski, the NCAA’s all-time winningest women’s and men’s basketball coaches, joined an elite group of sports im-mortals, including Muhammad Ali, Arthur Ashe, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, Billie Jean King, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Orr and Pete Rozelle to receive this award.

The magazine’s editors have chosen each honor-ee based on the principles established in 1954, when runner Roger Bannister was honored as SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’s fi rst Sportsman: “While the victory may have been his or hers, it is not for the victory alone that he or she is honored. Rather, it is for the quality of their eff ort and manner of their striving.”

Summitt and Krzyzewski join UCLA’s John Wooden (1972) and North Carolina’s Dean Smith (1997) to round out a veritable Mount Rush-more of college coaches who have received this award.

In 1972, Wooden, who had won his eighth na-tional title in nine seasons, was selected along with Billie Jean King. Smith was honored in 1997, the same year he set the then NCAA wins record and announced his retirement.

Other coaches named Sportsman include Joe Paterno (1986); manager Terry Francona (2004, with the Boston Red Sox); Herb Brooks (1980, with the U.S. Olympic hockey team) and Tony DiCicco (1999, with the U.S. Women’s soccer team).

We Back Pat To coincide with National Alzheimer’s Disease

Awareness Month the matchup between the No. 6/7 Lady Vols and the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears on Sun., Nov. 27th was designated as the fi rst of two, “We Back Pat” games.

The Vols will also participate in a “We Back Pat” game in January, when Coach Cuonzo Martin and the Big Orange take on the Connecticut Huskies on January 21st (CBS).

Thousands of fans wore the “We Back Pat” t-shirt to the Baylor game as 16,623 spectators were on

hand. Shirts are still available at The UT Bookstore and

Stokely Athletics Center stores, as well as area Food City and Walgreens. The shirts are $10, with $4.25 from every shirt going to research.

In a halftime ceremony at the Baylor game, checked were presented to Alzheimer’s Ten-nessee and UT Medical Center, as the `We Back Pat’ T-shirts have already generated more than $150,000 in donations. The proceeds will help directly impact those living with the disease in the state of Tennessee.

Announcing the Pat Summitt Foundation Since sharing her diagnosis of dementia in late

August, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt indicated she would like to start a foundation.

Summitt along with her son, Tyler, have formed a foundation that will fund grants in support of Alzheimer’s programs. The foundation, The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund (www.patsummitt.org), was announced at halftime of the Baylor game on Nov. 27 in Knoxville.

The aim of her Foundation is to make grants to non-profi t organizations which provide educa-tion and awareness of Alzheimer’s, its onset and treatment; support services to patients, their families and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent, cure and ultimately eradicate the dis-ease.

“Tyler and I have decided to join this battle, not just for us, but also for the millions of families aff ected by this disease. I have always told our players, our greatest opportunities are disguised as our greatest obstacles. It is time to treat this obstacle as an opportunity and a stepping stone to a cure,” Summitt said.

AARP Recognizes Summitt AARP The Magazine has announced the recipi-

ents of its 10th annual Inspire Awards. Each year the Inspire Awards pay tribute to outstanding individuals who inspire others to action through their innovative thinking, passion and persever-ance.

raise awareness and keep on coaching. The Courage Award is presented annually to an

individual who demonstrates courageous action in overcoming adversity to excel in sport. This individual should exhibit the qualities of cour-age, perseverance, grace, and strength in sport achievement.

Zaharias’ spirit and zest for life, as well as her courage, strength, and achievement, are the qualities for which this award is named. The Babe’s fi ght to overcome life-threatening cancer and then return to the winner’s circle in women’s professional golf has withstood the test of time.

Off the GlassRebounds Win Championships

Coach Pat Summitt’s mantra of defense and boards has been a staple of her nearly four de-cades of coaching.

In two 2011-12 preseason exhibitions contests, the Lady Vols outrebounded the opposition 52.0 rpg to 26.5 rpg.

UT started out the 2011-12 regular season haul-ing in 54 boards against Pepperdine while the Waves snagged 34.

Tennessee fell off the rebounding wagon in the very next game as Miami controlled the glass collecting 45 boards to the Lady Vols’ 38 total re-bounds. That was a vast improvement over UT’s 13-rebound deficit at halftime to the Hurricanes.

UT corrected the rebounding problem against Virginia, 45-38, with Shekinna Stricklen collect-ing 14 boards.

Since losing the battle of the boards to Miami, Tennessee had not be outrebounded again until it faced UCLA on Dec. 17 and Stanford on Dec. 20.

A month later, Notre Dame turned the trick out-rebounding UT, 44-35.

Overall this season, the Lady Vols hold just a +9.1 rebounding advantage, 44.6-35.4.

Last season, in 37 games, Tennessee was out-rebounded only twice -- by Georgia Tech, 37-36, and vs. Kentucky in the SEC Tournament fi nal, 46-41.

Overall, the Lady Vols held a +12.4 rebounding advantage, 46.3 to 33.9, in 2010-11.

StreakingWe were Streaking into 2011-12

The Lady Vols had a 38-game home court win-ning streak halted against Baylor on Nov. 27, 2011. It was the third longest in Lady Vol history. Tennessee’s all-time home court winning streak is 69 consecutive games from Feb. 2, 1991 to Jan. 6, 1996.

Lady Vol Streaks The Lady Vols last loss at home was against #1

Baylor, 76-67, on Nov. 27, 2011, since then UT is 7-0 at home.

The last time UT lost on the road was on Jan. 23, 2012 at Notre Dame, 72-44. UT is 2-0 on the road since then.

The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Notre Dame, 73-59, in the 2011 NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2011. Since that time, UT is 1-0 on a neutral court.

TBA - The Place to PlayRocky Top, You’ll Always Be...

Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky Top, Tennessee has already entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season av-eraging 82.9 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 53.5 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,812 fans per game.

Toughest Place To Play The University of Tennessee’s Thompson-Boling

Arena is still the toughest women’s basketball

arena in the nation to secure a win. The Lady Vols have fashioned a 350-21 all-time record on “The Summitt” for a 94.45 winning percentage since the doors were opened in 1987.

Welcome to “The Summitt” The playing court in the Thompson-Boling Arena

on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season.

After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, “The Sum-mitt.”

The fl oor had a complete overhaul with perma-nent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols paint-ed directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted orange with “SEC” re-versed out; the giant jump circle/mid-court TEN-NESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s actual sig-nature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches.

300 Wins in TBA Tennessee recorded its 300th win in Thompson-

Boling Arena when the Lady Vols defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 79-69 OT on Dec. 21, 2008.

Seven years earlier, UT grabbed its 200th TBA win over the University of Southern California on Nov. 18, 2001, 106-66.

UT has now amassed a 350-21(.942) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thomp-son-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 25-years ago.

Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10 fl awless home records: in 1988-89 (15-0), 1991-92 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 2000-01 (15-0), 2002-03 (16-0), 2009-10 (17-0) and 2010-11 (17-0).

UT also registered a former NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.

Just 21 TBA Losses The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling

Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times.

UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons.

The 21 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 11 teams: Baylor (2011), Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Geor-gia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stan-ford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

Home Sweet Home The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was

the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Summitt took over as head coach in 1974.

Summitt has won 91.6 percent of all home games in 38 years producing a 501-46 overall record.

2011-12 Archive NotesBCS Schedule

On the road...the Lady Vols traveled for three consecutive road games -- which kind of sound like a BCS Bowl line-up -- at #2-ranked Notre Dame, at Alabama and at Georgia.

The “Big Monday” game at Notre Dame was the fi nal regular season non-conference game for the Lady Vols.

The Irish held UT to the fewest points in program history in the 72-44 Lady Vol loss.

The Notre Dame game was an advance sell-out which joined capacity games at Rutgers, UCLA, Stanford and Kentucky this season.

UT got back on the winning track in Tuscaloosa,

Ala., on Thursday night taking a 86-56 win over Alabama.

The arduous road swing concluded with a 67-50 win at #17/15 Georgia on Jan. 29.

Before Bama, Last Four had not been GreatJust 2-2 Overall

In the Lady Vols last four games before the win at Alabama on Jan. 26, (at #9/8 Kentucky, vs. #25/24 Vanderbilt, vs. LSU and at #2 Notre Dame), UT went 2-2 with both losses coming on the road.

Tennessee outscored the opposition by a scant 64.0 to 63.2 margin during this stretch.

The shooting woes were pretty apparent as UT connected on just 39.6 percent of FG, 29.2 from three-point land, 56.5 percent of free throws (48 of 85).

Rebounding was only slightly better at 40.0 rpg while giving up 37.5 rpg.

Birthday WeekTwo Celebrated

Lady Vol sophomore Meighan Simmons spent her 20th birthday on Jan. 25 traveling to Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Junior Taber Spani turned 21 years old from 30,000 feet as the Lady Vols were winging their way home from Tuscaloosa on Jan. 27.

Been Gimpy and Limpy LatelyHealth Improved Heading into Notre Dame

Tennessee took to the court at Notre Dame on Jan. 23 with a few more healthy players.

Shekinna Stricklen (15.5 ppg) was back in the starting line-up after missing the LSU game with a knee sprain.

Glory Johnson, who suff ered a shoulder injury in the LSU contest on Jan. 19, was sporting and playing in a shoulder brace.

Taber Spani saw the court at Notre Dame for nine minutes after missing the last eight games. She is still listed as day-to-day.

Limped into the LSU game Tennessee took to the court in a key SEC meet-

ing with LSU on Jan. 19 in Knoxville with nine healthy players.

Neither Shekinna Stricklen (15.5 ppg) nor Taber Spani (11.9 ppg) saw action.

The pair account for a little less than 30 percent of the total team scoring.

Battle Scars Both Tennessee and LSU limped off the court

following the game on Jan. 19 in Knoxville. UT started the game with nine healthy players

and had three players suff er various injuries. Glory Johnson left the game with four minutes

to go in the fi rst half after suff ering a left shoul-der injury.

Izzy Harrison knocked heads with LSU’s Court-ney Jones just before the half and was momen-tarily dazed.

Vicki Baugh caught an elbow just under her eye and a nice “mouse” appeared late in the game.

LSU was a little worse off than UT. Starting guard Jeanne Kenney suff ered an apparent concussion just two minutes into the game and did not return.

Starting LSU point guard Destini Hughes land-ed awkwardly on a long pass just ticks before halftime.

She sustained substantial damage tearing three ligaments.

In visible pain, Johnson returned to play in the second half “one-armed.”

The Phone a Friend Line-UpThree in Grad School

Tennessee’s fi fth line-up combo of the season (vs. LSU) featured three starters -- Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson and Alicia Manning -- who are complet-ing degree requirements for M.S. degrees.

Baugh, a fi fth year senior will have her master’s degree in May while Johnson and Manning will complete degree requirements for a M.S. next fall.

TENNESSEE VS. SOUTH CAROLINA FEB. 2, 2012

Jan. 23.When Ranked Number 9Just 12th Time Ranked No. 9

When ranked number nine in the polls, the Lady Vols have produced an 7-4 record over other ranked teams.

All-time, UT is 1-2 when facing the number two ranked team from the nine position.

No. 9 Tennessee’s win over a number two ranked team came against Stanford, 70-67, on Dec. 21, 2004.

Not Shying Away from the CompetitionPlaying the Ranked

Both Tennessee and Notre Dame have faced a number of ranked teams this year.

The Lady Vols have faced nine ranked opponents in 18 games and sport a 6-3 record.

Notre Dame has faced six ranked foes in 20 games and is 5-1.

Both schools faced #1-ranked Baylor and lost. UT surrendered a 76-67 decision while ND lost 94-81.

The Irish dumped #8/7 Kentucky 92-83 while the Lady Vols lost at (then) #9/8 UK, 61-60.

The Balance SheetHow UT Wins or Loses This Game

Get a can of Raid to kill the turnover bug... Outside of the Texas game on Dec. 4, 2011 (just

nine turnovers), the Lady Vols have committed too many unforced turnovers.

Tennessee has recorded fi ve games with +20 mis-cues and has a 3-2 record in those games.

Keep some Purell hand sanitizer ready for Notre Dame’s sticky fi ngers...

The Irish lead the nation in steals with 14.6 per game.

The Lady Vols have only allowed one opponent to grab double-digit steals this season...Virginia with 13.

UT has allowed the opposition just 6.9 steals per game -- about half of the Irish average.

Don’t be bored with the boards...take some iron tab-lets to avoid anemia...

Starting with the Old Dominion game following the Christmas break, UT was crashing the boards to the tune of +22 over a fi ve game stretch.

UT outrebounded Georgia by +20 and Arkansas by +23 during the rebounding run.

In the last three games, Tennessee’s rebounding advantage has dropped to just +6.3 against Ken-tucky, Vanderbilt and LSU.

Summer TeammatesFive of the 12

This past summer a pair of Lady Vols and a trio of Irish players joined forces on the 12-player USA entry to the World University Games and brought home the gold medal from Shenzhen, China.

Tennessee’s Glory Johnson (6.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg) and Shekinna Stricklen (5.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg) and Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins (12.3 ppg, 4.9 apg), De-vereaux Peters (10.0 ppg, 5.3 rpg) and Natalie Novosel (4.5 ppg, 3.3 rpg)spent their August as teammates for USA Basketball.

En route to a 6-0 record, the USA defeated oppo-nents by 45 point per game and outrebounded the rest of the collegiate world by a 22.8 margin.

Old Home Week In all, Johnson and Stricklen have caught up with

seven summer teammates this season. From the WUG team, UT has faced Keisha Hamp-

ton from DePaul, Odyssey Sims from Baylor, Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike from Stanford and the trio from Notre Dame tonight.

SEC Initiative...“We Backed Pat”

During the “We Back Pat” week, the Tennessee Vols and the UConn Huskies participated in the festivities in Thompson-Boling Arena on Jan. 21 in their nationally televised contest.

Both teams wore “We Back Pat” warm-up shirts. At halftime, a another check was presented to the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund.

The Southeastern Conference in cooperation with its 12-member institutions celebrated “We Back Pat” Week, a week-long initiative focused on bringing awareness and recognition to the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund of The Commu-nity Foundation of Middle Tennessee and its fi ght

against Alzheimer’s disease. During the week of January 15-22, SEC member

institutions supported the Pat Summitt Founda-tion Fund during their home basketball games.

During the 17 women’s and 12 men’s games slat-ed for the week, various eff orts were made to in-crease awareness of the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund.

Twenty of the games were televised. “Pat Summitt is a leader both on and off the court.

The establishment of the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund only reiterates this point.” said SEC Commis-sioner Mike Slive. “We are pleased that the South-eastern Conference can play a small part in help-ing Pat reach her goals for The Foundation Fund today and in the future.”

M*A*S*HStricklen was Day-to-day entering the LSU game

Senior guard-forward-center Shekinna Stricklen suff ered a sprained right knee in the game against #25/24-ranked Vanderbilt on Sun., Jan. 15.

“Diagnostic testing and further evaluation con-fi rmed that Shekinna suff ered a right knee sprain in the game yesterday,” Assoc. AD for Sports Medicine Jenny Moshak said. “We have already started the rehab process and her status is listed as day-to-day.”

She suff ered the knee sprain after a colliding with a Vanderbilt player while both were going after a rebound along the baseline in the second half.

Stricklen had to be helped from the fl oor by the UT sports medicine staff after scoring a team leading 20 points in 35 minutes of action in the 87-64 vic-tory over the Commodores.

Spani was still Day-to-day Lady Vol junior Taber Spani has been dealing with a

bone bruise in her left knee since the loss at Virginia on Nov. 20.

On Dec. 26, she participated in one-half of the prac-tice and took three weeks off to rest the limb.

She practiced again for the fi rst time on Jan. 22 and played nine minutes against Notre Dame.

In the next game, at Alabama, Spani did not play. She is still listed as day-to-day.

We Bounced Back...AgainLoss Number Four

After almost completing a comeback victory over Kentucky, but missing by a bucket, the Lady Vols regrouped from a loss for the fourth time this season and defeated Vanderbilt, 87-64.

The last time UT took (at least) four losses on the year was the 11 “L” season in 2008-09.

Joined the Club1,000 Career Rebounds -- After Glo Grabbed Four

Grad student Glory Johnson grabbed her fourth rebound in the fi rst half of the game against Arkansas and went over the 1,000 re-bound threshold for her career.

She became just the fourth Lady Vol in the his-tory of the program to have 1,000 career points and 1000 career rebounds.

Johnson joined Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings in the exclusive club.

She enters the game with VU sporting 1,017 career boards.

She ranks third on the list behind Holdsclaw with 1,295 (148 games) and Frost with 1,043 in 138 games.

Johnson has 1,017 in 121 games to rank ahead of Catchings with 1,004 in a career-shortened (senior year ACL injury) 127 games.

SEC Player of the Week...again. After being named the SEC Player of the Week

Jan. 2, Lady Vol senior forward Glory John-son followed up with outstanding showings against Chattanooga, Georgia and Arkansas. For her eff orts she was tabbed with her second-consecutive SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 9.

Johnson averaged 15.7 ppg and 13.3 rpg and added three assists and eight steals, while play-ing 27.3 mpg in the team’s three victories.

Johnson had a monumental game against Ar-kansas, using 13 rebounds in her fi fth consecu-tive double-double to reach the 1,000 rebound plateau. In reaching the benchmark Johnson

became only the fourth in Lady Vol history to collect 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.

It is the third SEC honor for a Lady Vol player this season, following Ariel Massengale who was tabbed SEC Freshman of the Week Dec. 5 and Johnson’s Player of the Week nod Jan. 2.

We Streaked into SEC Competition Before losing to Kentucky, the Lady Vols had

won 36 consecutive games against SEC opposi-tion dating back to 2010.

UT’s streak started after a 53-50 loss at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010.

Included in the total were 30 consecutive reg-ular season games and six in the SEC Tourna-ment.

In this 36 game streak: UT won 15 consecutive SEC home games; UT won 15 consecutive SEC road games and six consecutive neutral site games in the SEC tourney.

We were DefensiveSolid “D” at Arkansas

At Arkansas on Jan. 8, Tennessee rolled out a new scent...eau de defense.

The defensive fragrance limited Arkansas to just one trey until the 5:44 mark of the fi rst half when the score was 25-3.

The Razorbacks managed to tally 11 points at the break as UT led 31-11.

For the game, Tennessee’s defense held the ‘Backs to just 18.2 percent from the fi eld (10-55) and 3-20 from three-point land (15.0 percent).

UT also held the edge on the boards, 47-24, in the 69-38 UT win.

We had Picked Up the PaceFive Games between the Stanford & UK losses

Since losing at #4-ranked Stanford and before losing to #9/8-ranked Kentucky, the Lady Vols had stepped up.

Glory Johnson was the scoring and rebounding leader for the team during this stretch averag-ing 15.4 ppg and 12.8 rpg.

Rookie Ariel Massengale connected on 59.5 percent of her shots from the fi eld and contrib-uted 12.0 ppg and 4.6 apg. She committed just seven turnovers in 144 minutes.

All-America Shekinna Stricklen struggled a bit since the Stanford loss averaging 5.5 fewer points per game (17.5 ppg heading into Stan-ford) and connecting on just 17.4 percent from three-point land.

UT outscored the opposition 80.4 to 45.0 (+35.4 winning margin) and controlled the boards 51.4 to 29.4 rpg...a +22.0 advantage on the boards.

Another Graybeard Game The game versus Georgia came against another

coach with lots of W’s. Already this season, UT coach Pat Summitt

coached in “graybeard games” against Rut-gers’ C. Vivian Stringer and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer.

Both coaches entered the contest against UT with over 800 career victories -- Stringer with 872 and VanDerveer with 833.

Georgia coach Andy Landers is a member of the 800 club with 867 wins on his resume.

Summitt and Landers have a combined 1,948 wins heading into the Georgia game on Jan. 5.

The Tennessee Lady Vols have now produced a 28-5 opening day record in SEC play dating back to the 1979-80 season.

UT is 14-2 in home SEC openers and 14-3 on the road.

Georgia (1984 and 1996) and Auburn (1988 and 1989) each ambushed the Lady Vols in two SEC opening games, while Vanderbilt turned the trick in 1990.

The Lady Vols have not dropped an SEC opener since 1996 when Georgia escaped with a 94-93 overtime victory in Knoxville on Dec. 8,

Flirting with Double-Doubles Tennessee had four players poised to record a

double-double against Georgia on Jan. 5. In the end, substitutions dictated that Glory John-

son would be the only player to end up with one registering 22 points and 13 rebounds.

Rookie Ariel Massengale tossed in 19 points and recorded nine assists.

ning into the starting line-up (for Vicki Baugh) against Old Dominion on Dec. 28 stating the Woodstock, Ga., native “had earned it in practice.”

Manning responded with career highs in rebounds (15) and steals (6).

A blue collar player all the way, the Lady Vols’ “grit-tiness factor” reaches all-time highs when Manning is on the court.

Dialing Assistance A pair of Lady Vol rookies have recorded nine as-

sists in a game twice this season. Ariel Massengale had nine helpers against (then)

#7-ranked Miami. Fellow freshmate Cierra Burdick dished nine as-

sists against Old Dominion. Their mark of nine is second-best for a rookie.

Sophomore Meighan Simmons holds the UT rookie record with 11 scoring passes against Ala-bama on Jan. 6, 2011.

Simmons Slowly Heating it Up Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons has des-

perately struggled with her shot this season. “Speedy” had a fi eld goal average hovering on

life support in the teens and has not hit the mid 30’s in FG%....

SEC Player of the Week (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) Coming back after the winter holiday, Lady Vol se-

nior forward Glory Johnson returned with strong performances against Old Dominion and Auburn. For her eff orts, she was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 2.

back in the starting line-up against Old Dominion.

She was cleared to play on Dec. 20 after missing the previous three games (#20/21 DePaul, #11 Rutgers and UCLA).

The starting rookie guard made a brief 11 minute second half appearance against Stanford.

She suff ered a dislocated middle fi nger on her left hand in practice on Dec. 8.

Three Losses Heading into January The last time Tennessee sported three losses

heading into January was the 2004-05 season. The Lady Vols were 8-3 overall and had lost at

#4-ranked Texas, 74-59; to #10/9-ranked Duke, 59-57, and at #24-ranked Rutgers, 65-51.

Last 7-3 Start to Open the Season The last time the Lady Vols posted a 7-3 record in

the fi rst 10 games to open a season was in 1996-97.

In that weird 29-10 overall record & NCAA title season, Tennessee collected wins over Austin Peay, #12/13-ranked Kansas, 314/17-ranked Notre Dame, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Memphis, #11/10-ranked Texas Tech, #13/16-ranked Texas (OT) and suff ered losses to #11/8-ranked Loui-siana Tech, #5-ranked Georgia, and #1-ranked Stanford.

Third Time this Season Against Old Dominion, Tennessee rebounded

from a loss for the third time in the 2011-12 sea-son.

After dropping a 97-80 decision at #4-rankedStan-ford on Dec. 20, UT righted the ship with a 90-37 win over ODU on Dec. 28 in Knoxville.

Stanford’s 90 points were the most against UT since Feb. 26, 2006 vs. Florida (UF 95, UT 93 (OT).

UT turned Scarlet at Stanford Tennessee’s 17-point loss at Stanford was the Lady

Vols’ worst “L” since losing 71-55 against Ball State on Mar. 22, 2009, in the First Round of the NCAA tournament.

The Cardinal owned the boards against the Lady Vols with a 35-29 advantage.

Stanford also dominated UT in the paint by a 40-18 margin.

Stricklen = Ironwomen Senior Shekinna Stricklen logged an average of

37.1 minutes per game over the four contests on the road in December.

She logged all 40 minutes against Stanford while scoring a career high 27 points.

She managed 33 minutes against UCLA despite fi ghting stomach troubles which sent her to the locker room in the fi rst half.

In the come-from-behind victory at Rutgers, Stricklen sat a handful of second shy of 40 min-utes.

In that game, she tossed in 22 points, grabbed nine rebounds and snagged three steals.

Against UCLA, Tennessee hit a school record 76 percent (19-of-25) of its shots in the fi rst half eclips-ing the previous record of 70.3 percent against Old Dominion(1/4/89).

On the afternoon against UCLA, Tennessee shot 69.2 percent - the fourth-highest mark in program history.

UT’s season high shooting percentage going into the game was 49.2 percent against Pepperdine (11/13/11).

The Ranked UT’s six ranked opponents within its fi rst 10 games

of the 2011-12 campaign marks the most since playing fi ve teams in the AP poll in the fi rst eight games of the 2007-08 season.

Conference Carousel This season, the Lady Vols have faced a pair of

teams from three diff erent conferences -- the ACC, the Big 12, BIG EAST and Pac-12.

Against these power conferences, UT recorded a 5-3 record.

Was Happy to be in Cali

Lady Vol starting center Vicki Baugh is excited to be in her home state of California.

The Sacramento native, who missed almost 21 months on the court due to ACL surgeries, will be making her fi rst appearance in Los Angeles since her rookie season in 2007-08.

Baugh is fi nishing her UT eligibility in grad school. She will receive her Master’s in kinesiology in May.

From BIG EAST Week to Pac 12 Week Last week, the Lady Vols took on two teams from

the BIG EAST facing #20/21-ranked DePaul (an 84-61 win on Dec. 11) and #11-ranked Rutgers on Dec. 13 (a 67-61 win).

This week, Tennessee engages in Pac 12 Week fac-ing UCLA (an 85-64 win) and at #4-ranked Stanford (a 97-80 loss)on the road.

One of the Days of Christmas Somewhere in the Lady Vols version of the “Twelve

Days of Christmas” there should be a verse of “Stan-ford Comes A’ Callin’.”

Over the last 20-plus years, Tennessee and Stanford have traditionally met in mid-December and typi-cally served as a measuring stick for each other re-gardless of the outcome.

In December games against the Cardinal, UT leads the series 16-6.

Summer Fun Please excuse Glory Johnson, Shekinna Stricklen,

Nnemkadi and Chiney Ogwumike if they are caught up in conversation and laughter before the game.

The foursome spent part of their summer as USA basketball teammates at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China.

Team USA posted a perfect 6-0 record. The Red, White & Blue captured the gold medal with

a 101-66 victory over Taiwan.Playing in Front of a Full House

The games versus both Stanford and UCLA were announced as advance sellouts.

Last season, UT played in front of capacity crowds at Louisville (22,124), Old Dominion (7,774), Baylor (10,569) and Auburn (7,536).

Massengale Making Progress Starting rookie point guard Ariel Massengale is

making progress in recovering from a dislocated fi nger.

In the last couple of days, she has returned to the court to take some light reps.

The protective cast-like material was removed prior to the team traveling out west.

On Dec. 8, Jenny Moshak, University of Tennessee Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, announced that Massengale had suff ered a dislo-cated fi nger in practice and would possibly be out of the lineup for two to three weeks.

The week previously, the rookie from Bolingbrook, Ill., collected the fi rst conference honors of her collegiate career as she was named SEC Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week following her outstanding performance in UT’s wins over Middle Tennessee and (then) No. 20/21-ranked Texas.

On the season, Massengale is averaging 7.2 ppg and 5.8 apg for the No. 7/8-ranked Lady Vols.

Missing Miss Massengale In the three games with out Ariel Massengale, ball

security has been an issue. Tennessee has committed 50 miscues in the last

three games. UT lost the ball an improved 15 times at UCLA.

However, those 15 miscues led to 15 Bruin points. Against #11-ranked Rutgers, UT had 16 turnovers

(including three off ensive fouls). UT evenly spaced the miscues with eight in each

half. At the start of the game against DePaul, the Lady

Vols certainly looked like they were very much missing freshman point guard Massengale.

In the fi rst fi ve minutes, all fi ve starters lost the ball at least once for a total of six UT miscues.

Tennessee managed to settle down over the next 15 minutes of the half and lost the ball just seven times.

Despite shuffl ed line-ups in the second half, UT

TENNESSEE VS. SOUTH CAROLINA FEB. 2, 2012

committed just six turnovers in the next 20 min-utes.

Taber is Clutch Since suff ering a bone bruise against Virginia on

Nov. 20, junior Taber Spani has struggled a bit with her game.

In her last two contests, she looks like she is on the way back.

Against UCLA, she drilled 4-of-6 treys and was 5-for-7 from the fi eld for 14 points.

Following a couple of “not so Taber” performances, she was one of the second half sparks in the win over Rutgers.

Spani drilled a death ray trey with 1:53 left to give UT a comfortable 10-point lead, 64-54, to seal the comeback win.

The forward looked like her old self in the second half scoring 10 points and dishing three assists.

She logged 31 minutes on the night.Rutgers Backs Pat

The folks at Rutgers showed their support for UT coach Pat Summitt when the two teams met on Dec. 13.

The Rutgers players wore “We Back Pat” shooting shirts and RU athletics director Tim Pernetti pre-sented UT a commemorative jersey for Summitt.

Rutgers sold the Pat Summitt Foundation brace-lets on the concourse with the proceeds going to the Foundation fund.

UT & Rutgers Hall of Famers Both Tennessee and Rutgers can boast of Women’s

Basketball Hall of Fame (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Nai-smith Basketball Hall of Fame (Springfi eld, Mass.) head coach inductees in Pat Head Summitt and C. Vivian Stringer.

Summitt joined the Women’s HoF when she was se-lected as a member of the inaugural class of 1999, while Stringer was a 2001 inductee.

In Fall 2009, Stringer earned her induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame while Summitt was a member of the Class of 2000.

Not only are the head coaches members of the WBHOF but UT also sports Lady Vol associate head coach Holly Warlick (inducted as a player in the Class of 2001 with Coach Stringer) and Lady Vol Basketball Director of Character Development, Daedra Charles-Furlow was a 2007 inductee.

Garden Party Tennessee’s appearance in Madison Square Gar-

den, “the world’s most famous basketball arena,” marks the fourth time for the Lady Vols.

UT has a 3-0 record at MSG. In all previous trips to the Garden, Rutgers has

been the opponent each time. Lady Vol All-American and Olympian Chamique

Holdsclaw traveled to her hometown for her se-nior year in 1998-99. It marked UT’s fi rst trip to The Garden.

The game was played before the largest crowd to ever see a women’s collegiate basketball game in the Garden, 15,735.

The trip was billed as the NYC homecoming for Holdsclaw who hailed from Astoria in Queens.

Second-ranked UT had little trouble with the No. 15/13-ranked Scarlet Knights winning 68-54 on Jan. 3, 1999.

The next visit was a meeting between #2 ranked Tennessee, who was trying to rebound from a loss at UConn, and #9/10-ranked Rutgers, in a defensive struggle in Madison Square Garden on Jan. 2, 2001, as the Lady Vols won 58-51.

In the 2001 game at MSG, Lady Vol senior All-American Tamika Catchings was forced to wear the “blood jersey” (number 55), after her number 24 orange road jersey turned up missing when the UT managers did the team laundry after the game versus UConn in Hartford. It never did ap-pear on eBay.

The Lady Vols were invited to play in the Maggie Dixon Classic in 2009 with Rutgers as the op-ponent once again. No. 4/3-ranked Tennessee defeated the Scarlet Knights, 68-54, on Dec. 13.

Maggie Dixon ClassicClassic Notes

This marks the second time the Lady Vols have participated in the Maggie Dixon Classic.

Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt is the 2011 recipi-ent of the Maggie Dixon Courage Award. Sum-mitt will be honored by the Dixon family during a second half time out in the Classic’s fi rst game between Baylor and St. John’s.

Ironically, the last game Maggie Dixon ever coached at Army was against Tennessee. In 2006 Tennessee, Army, Old Dominion and George Washington were all bracketed together in Norfolk, Virginia, for NCAA First /Second Round games.

The night before the Tennessee vs. Army contest both coaching staff s found themselves dining at the same Virginia Beach seafood restaurant.

Basketball talk ensued that evening and the next day the two teams met on the court.

The game won’t be remembered as Army’s fi rst appearance in the NCAA Tournament under a rookie head coach but as the game in which Tennessee redshirt freshman Candace Parker dunked twice as the Lady Vols won going away, 102-54 on March 19, 2006.

The next week, the Lady Vols met Rutgers in the Sweet 16 in the Cleveland Regional (a 76-69 win) but lost to North Carolina in the Regional Cham-pionship, 75-63.

Sadly, Maggie Dixon passed away after the Final Four in Boston on April 6, 2006.

Graduation Lady Vol senior guard Alicia Manning had a busy

morning on Dec. 9. In addition to packing for a trip to New York City and an early morning prac-tice, Manning donned cap and gown to receive her diploma from UT.

The newly-minted graduate of the College of Ed-ucation received her B.S. in Sport Management with a business minor.

In January Manning will join fellow Lady Vols Vicki Baugh and Glory Johnson in graduate school. The Woodstock, Ga., native plans to pur-sue a master’s in Kinesiology with a concentra-tion in Sport Psychology.

Manning was joined at graduation by her par-ents, Jeff and Virginia Manning, as well as Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt.

Following graduation in Thompson-Boling Are-na, she dashed to the locker room where she signed the Lady Vol graduation pillar, adding her name near Candace Parker’s and continuing the 100 percent graduation tradition among UT hoopsters.

Manning then joined her teammates in Pratt Pavilion for practice before heading to the Big Apple.

Heading in the Right Direction Tennessee halted a two-game losing streak tak-

ing a 82-43 win over Middle Tennessee State be-hind the play of rookies.

Cierra Burdick, came off the bench to contribute 14 points and 10 rebounds while Ariel Massen-gale added 14 points and fi ve assists.

That “must win” was followed by a solid eff ort in the 73-57 victory over #21/20 Texas on Dec. 4 in Knoxville.

Starting with a Pair of L’s The last time the Lady Vols opened the season

with a 2-2 record was during the 1990-91 cam-paign. Tennessee went on to a 30-5 overall record and captured the 1991 National Championship.

Tennessee opened that season with a win over Stanford (the defending NCAA Champs)...lost by 13 at N.C. State...defeated Virginia Tech on the road ... then lost at Vanderbilt by 14 points.

Including this season, back-to-back losses have only occurred 25 times during Coach Pat Sum-mitt’s 38-year career at Tennessee.

Before losing back-to-back to Virginia and #1-ranked Baylor (Nov. 20 & 27, 2011), the last oc-currence was during the 11 loss 2008-09 season.

UT lost back-to-back games twice that year -- at Duke and Kentucky (Feb. 16 & 19) and vs. Auburn and Ball State (Mar. 7 & 22).

Tennessee suff ered back-to-back losses three times in the 10 loss, 1996-97 NCAA Champion-ship “Cinderella Season.”

Of the 201 all-time losses for Summitt’s UT teams, they have lost back-to-back-to-back games just twice.

In December 1984, the Lady Vols lost three con-secutive games (all on the road) at #3-ranked Georgia, at #2-ranked Texas and at #7-ranked Louisiana Tech.

In February 1986, UT also lost three consecutive games at #8-ranked Ole Miss, #11-ranked Au-burn and against #3-ranked Louisiana Tech.

When Playing Number One Tennessee is 14-29 all-time when playing the na-

tion’s number one ranked team. The Lady Vols are 3-10 in Knoxville, an even 6-6 on the road and 5-13 on neutral courts.

UT is currently ranked number six in the AP poll. Tennessee is now 0-4 when trying to upset #1 from that position.

UT is currently ranked number seven in the USA To-day/ESPN poll. Tennessee is now 0-2 when trying to upset #1 from that position.

The Numbers Game Prior to the game versus Baylor on Nov. 27, the last

time Tennessee played the nation’s number one-ranked team was on Jan. 22, 2007 in Knoxville. The Lady Vols missed charity tosses down the stretch to lose 74-70 to top-ranked Duke after mounting a furious comeback rally.

The Blue Devils opened the game with a nightmar-ish 19-0 run-out, as the Lady Vols fell into a 21-point hole (28-7 at 9:23 in the fi rst half ) before rallying to narrow the halftime defi cit to 11 points (38-27).

Free throw defense stymied Tennessee, as the Lady Vols connected on just 8-17 (.471) for the game. All-American Candace Parker managed just 1-7 from the free throw line.

Good Neighbors The 2011 meeting with Miami in the State Farm

TipOff Classic marked the Lady Vols eighth ap-pearance in the State Farm TipOff Classic and the fi fth time to host the event. Tennessee now has a 6-2 record in TipOff games.

Making a Claim In the fi rst TipOff in 1993, Lady Vol coach Pat Sum-

mitt picked up her 500th career victory. In the TipOff in 1998, Purdue and Coach Carolyn

Peck halted the Lady Vols school record 46-game consecutive winning streak.

Tennessee’s last opening game home loss to start a season came against Louisiana Tech in the 1999 TipOff Classic, 69-64, as UT failed to convert free throws in the waning seconds.

In Tennessee’s most recent TipOff appearance in 2009 in Knoxville, the Lady Vols spoiled Brittney Griner’s fi rst collegiate game with a 74-65 victory over the Lady Bears.

Going into the Hall Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Nikki Mc-

Cray Pinson will be a member of the 2012 Wom-en’s Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Class. Also being inducted are: Nancy Fahey (Coach), Pamela McGee (Player), Inge Nissen (Player), Robin Rob-erts (Contributor), and Dawn Staley (Player). Mc-Gee was introduced at the 2011 TipOff in Knox-ville.

Rookie Starts A true rookie got a starting nod on the opening

day of the 2011-12 season. When Coach Pat Summitt started freshman Ariel

Massengale against Pepperdine in the opening game of the 2011-12 season, it marked only the 14th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very fi rst game at Tennessee -- out of a total of 161 all-time Lady Vols who have played at UT.

The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Strick-len, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Park-er, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiff ani Johnson 1994, Bridgette

TENNESSEE VS. SOUTH CAROLINA FEB. 2, 2012

Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.The Nod

With Ariel Massengale getting the opening day start against Pepperdine, she became the 61st rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at UT. Last season, Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Cibolo, Texas, became the 60th rook-ie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Ten-nessee.

The previous year, rookie Kamiko Williams (59th all-time) started against Arkansas while her class-mate and fellow rookie Taber Spani, became the 13th frosh to start her very fi rst game at UT and the 58th rookie overall.

In 2008-09, a record number of players – FIVE – were called on to start for the Lady Vols as rookies: Shekinna Stricklen (starter number 53), Glory Johnson (number 54), Briana Bass (55), Ali-cia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments.

Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start during her freshman season –she started in 30 of 38 games.

Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her freshman season.

Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt fresh-man Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06.

A season earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods dur-ing the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Hornbuckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts.

This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies.

Fourth Earliest Opener The game against Pepperdine was the fourth

earliest date the Lady Vols have ever opened the season. UT’s earliest opening game was dur-ing the 2002-03 season with fi rst tip on Nov. 10, 2002, taking on #22/19-ranked Oklahoma and registering a 94-68 win.

GAME 1 #3 UT vs. Pepperdine // Nov. 13, 2011

GAME 2 #3 UT vs. #7 Miami // Nov. 15, 2011

KNOXVILLE -- It took over two minutes for the first shot to finally fall. Pepperdine never led, but kept within two baskets until an 8-0 run capped by Meighan Simmons’ jumper with 10:32 left in the first half gave Tennessee a 20-9 lead.

Summitt played her entire bench in the first half, including freshmen Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison, and the Tennessee reserves scored 20 points.

Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Shekinna Stricklen and Simmons each had 13 points, Taber Spani contributed 11 points and Briana Bass had 10.

Pepperdine’s tough defense came at a cost. The Waves had 14 personal fouls in the first half, though the Lady Vols were uncharacteristically sloppy at the charity stripe, making just two of six foul shots before halftime.

Still, it forced Rousseau to go deep into her bench, which was responsible for just four points in the first half and 19 total. Jazmine Jackson had 17 points for the Waves, who shot 28.4 percent to the Lady Vols’ 49.2 percent shooting.

Tennessee outrebounded Pepperdine 54-34, but couldn’t turn them into points. The Lady Vols gained control of the game with their 20 fast-break points and by sinking eight of their 10 3-point baskets in the second half.

Summitt gave a starting nod to point guard Ariel Massengale, making her just the 14th Lady Vol to start her very first career game. The coach was so convinced of Massengale’s talent and frustrated by a lack of a bona fide point guard last season that she dubbed Mas-sengale a starter back in March.

Massengale sat for more than 13 minutes in the first half after picking up two fouls and finished with just one field goal, but had five assists to just one turnover and came up with two steals and three rebounds in 20 minutes.

KNOXVILLE - Junior Taber Spani hit a game-high four three-pointers, but none bigger than the one she drained from the top of the key as the shot clock expired with 6:36 remaining in the game. The swish ignited an 11-0 Tennessee run and ultimately helped lift the No. 3 Tennessee women’s basketball team (2-0) to a 92-76 victory over No. 7 Miami (1-1) on Tuesday eve-ning at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The pair of top ten teams were tied, 42-42, at halftime before Tennessee scored the second half’s first nine points and 18 of the first 22 to take a 60-46 lead.

But the Hurricanes came storming back, eventually getting as close as 73-68. That’s when Spani saved her best for her last shot.

After her three-pointer, the Lady Vols forced a shot clock violation on the other end, and freshman Isabelle Harrison scored her first points of the evening off of on an offensive rebound.

Tennessee went on to score 19 of the game’s final 27 points to notch its second win in as many tries this season.

After Miami’s Riquna Williams went off for 17 first-half points, UT limited her to just seven in the second. Although she finished with a game-high 24 points, the Lady Vols made her use 28 shot attempts to get there.

Tennessee had five players in double-figures. Joining Spani were Meighan Simmons (18), Johnson (16), Shekinna Stricklen (15) and Ariel Massengale (11). Johnson also chipped in a team-high nine rebounds, while Massengale led the game with the second-highest assist total by a UT freshman all-time with nine.

In the first half, it was the Hurricanes that got off to a strong start. After Baugh scored the game’s opening bucket on a layup, Miami went on a 10-2 run for its largest lead of the contest, 10-4.

The Hurricanes made four of their first six three-point attempts, and led until a try from Simmons put the Lady Vols back ahead, 18-16, with 13:41 left in the first half.

After UM’s Stefanie Yderstorm responded with a three-pointer of her own complemented by a Krystal Saunders layup, the Lady Vols scored eight consecutive points to take a 26-21 lead with 10:21 left in the first half and would not trail again.

UT matched its biggest lead of the first 20 minutes, 38-31, on a jumper from Spani, who led the team with 13 first-half points. UM closed the first half with an 11-4 run to tie the score, 42-42.

GAME 3#3 UT at Virginia // Nov. 20, 2011

GAME 4#6/7 UT vs. #1 Baylor // Nov. 27, 2011

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Chelsea Shine scored 18 points, including a key basket in over-time, and Virginia stunned turnover-prone No. 3 Tennessee 69-64 on Sunday.

The Cavaliers (4-0) came into the game allowing just over 42 points a game under first-year coach Joanne Boyle, and dictated the pace against a Lady Vols team averaging 90.5 points.

Taber Spani led the Lady Vols (2-1) with 22 points, including a 3-pointer 59 seconds into overtime that gave Tennessee a 61-58 lead, but the Cavaliers scored the next 11 points, the crowd at John Paul Jones Arena getting more excited with each basket.

China Crosby had 13 points and Ataira Franklin 12 for Virginia, which beat Tennessee for just the third time in 16 games. Lexie Gerson and Ariana Moorer each scored 10. Shekinna Stricklen had 16 and Glory Johnson 15 for the Lady Vols, who missed 10 of 21 free throws.

In the overtime, after Spani’s 3-pointer, Moorer hit a pair of free throws, and then a foul-line jumper, one of only three baskets she made in 16 tries. Shine followed a turnover the Ten-nessee with a short baseline jumper, and Crosby hit 3 of 4 free throws to make it 67-61.

The Lady Vols never had an answer, and each time they failed to score and Virginia came away with the ball, the crowd of 6,450 at John Paul Jones Arena got louder and more excited.

Stricklen had a chance to give the Lady Vols the lead near the end of regulation when she was fouled while scoring, but she missed the free throw, one of 10 misses in 21 tries for Tennessee. The Lady Vols also had 24 turnovers that the Cavaliers turned into 27 points.

Crosby broke a 56-all tie with 36.6 seconds to go in regulation, hitting a desperate shot from the baseline with the shot clock running down. After a timeout, Spani calmly swished a 12-footer from the left baseline with 22.8 seconds to go, pulling Tennessee even again.

Moorer’s last chance drive in regulation was cleanly blocked just before the buzzer. The Cavaliers tightened their defense and Tennessee continued to be sloppy early in the sec-ond half as Virginia opened the half on a 14-6 run. The Cavaliers led by as many as nine and by 47-40 when the Lady Vols began asserting themselves on the offensive glass and rallied.

Tennessee scored eight straight points, taking its first lead since the first half, but Shine scored inside and Crosby’s three-point play boosted the Cavaliers’ edge back to 52-48.

The Lady Vols pulled even three times, but only led once thereafter.

Virginia used a 12-2 run to take a 24-20 lead in a sloppy first half. The Lady Vols turned the ball over at least seven times in the drought, and went almost 5 minutes without scoring.

Spani, who hit the floor hard at one point and went back to the locker room, led Tennessee with 12 points in the half, and Gerson led the Cavaliers with eight.

KNOXVILLE - The No. 6 Lady Vols led for much of the second half, but No. 1 Baylor took the lead late in the second half and went on to a 76-67 win before an electric crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena. The contest was the first “WE BACK PAT” game as the Pat Summitt Foundation was launched at halftime and $150,000 was presented to the Alzheimer’s Ten-nessee and the UT Medical Center with money raised from sales of “WE BACK PAT” shirts.

Baylor All-American Brittney Griner scored 17 of her game-high 26 in the second half to lead the Bears’ comeback as they moved to 6-0. UT’s All-American Shekinna Stricklen led the Lady Vols with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Vicki Baugh also had 17 points and 10 rebounds.

With the loss, the Lady Vols’ 38-game home win streak comes to an end as Tennessee falls to 2-2 overall. The last time UT started a season 2-2 was the 1990-91 season. That year, Tennes-see went on to win its third NCAA Championship with a 30-5 record.

Odyssey Sims (23 points) knocked down a 3-pointer with 7:20 left in regulation to give Baylor the lead it would never relinquish, 56-53. Glory Johnson (9 points, 11 rebounds) swooped in for a layup with 6:40 left to bring UT back within one at 56-55, but that was as close as it would be the rest of the way.

Tennessee continued to pressure in the final minutes, but missed several shots as the Lady Vols shot just 29.3 percent in the game.

Johnson made a pair of free throws with 2:02 left to bring UT back within four at 65-61. Griner answered with another lay-in with just two seconds left on the shot clock to give the Bears a 67-61 lead with 1:32 left in the game.

Baugh (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Stricklen both bombed a 3-pointers in the final 44 sec-onds, but it wasn’t enough as the Bears posted the win to drop the Lady Vols to 2-2.

The Lady Vols grabbed 55 rebounds, outboarding the Bears, 55-42, their most since the NCAA First Round win over Stetson last season, when they had 63.

Taber Spani’s lay-up with 8:50 left, gave the Lady Vols a 53-50. Spani missed the ensuing free throw as part of an and-one as Baylor quickly answered. Griner converted a 3-point play seconds later to tie the game at 53 all.

Baylor answered with a 7-0 run to come back within one points at 39-38 before Baugh layed one home for a 41-38 UT edge with 16 minutes left in the game. Baylor took a short-lived lead at 42-41 on a Griner lay-up with 15 minutes left in the second half. Spani regained the edge with a layup just 16 seconds later.

The Lady Vols had a 17-2 run bridging the halves to build a lead of 39-31 with 17:39 left in the second half. Stricklen scored on a putback forcing Baylor to call timeout as UT took a seven-point lead (38-31) just 1:27 into the second half. Stricklen had eight of UT’s points in the spurt as the Lady Vols bounced back from a 29-22 deficit with four minutes left in the first half.

Tennessee led 33-31 at intermission as Spani canned a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left in the half. Stricklen had 19 points and seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes while Brittney Griner was limited to nine points and just three rebounds. The Lady Vols dominated the glass in the first half, holding a 34-19 advantage. That included 18 offensive rebounds as UT shot just 25 percent.

GAME 5#8 UT vs. Middle Tennessee // Nov. 29, 2011

GAME 6#8 UT vs. #21/22 Texas // Dec. 4, 2011

KNOXVILLE - A pair of freshmen, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale, each scored a career-high 14 points and keyed a pair of first-half runs as the No. 8 Tennessee women’s basketball team defeated in-state rival Middle Tennessee, 82-43, Tuesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena. Massengale logged just 23 minutes, but led the Lady Vols in both scoring for the first time in her career, tying Burdick. Massengale has led Tennessee (3-2) in assists in all five games to open her collegiate career, and had zero turnovers for the first time Tuesday night. Massengale, and UT’s other four starters, had a light night after controlling the action throughout the game’s entirety. Johnson played a starter-high 25 minutes and tallied nine points and nine rebounds. Despite the Lady Vols’ largest win this season of 39 points, UT matched its least amount of double-figure scorers this season with two. Senior preseason All-American Shekinna Stricklen also chipped in 12 points. Over the first 10 minutes of the second half, Tennessee extended its 48-24 halftime lead to a 62-30 margin and the Lady Vols never looked back. UT limited the Blue Raiders (4-3) to 19 points in the second half. Middle Tennessee was led by a game-high 16 points from Kortni Jones. Ebony Rowe also had 10 points for MTSU. In the first half, Middle Tennessee jumped out to a 5-2 lead before the Lady Vols scored 20 of the game’s next 22 points to take a 22-7 lead at the 11:47 mark, setting the tone for the rest of the game. During that stretch, Massengale played a role in 14 of UT’s 20 points, contributing nine points and assisting on a pair of baskets. The freshman standout also had one of her two steals in the run. She had already matched her career high with 11 points by halftime. The Blue Raiders responded with an 11-5 run to bring their deficit back within single digits at 27-18 with 7:08 left. UT reinforced its dominance, scoring 21 of the opening stanza’s final 27 points, to take a 48-24 halftime lead. Burdick scored all seven of her first-half points in the run as the Lady Vols’ 24-point advantage at intermission was their largest of the season.

KNOXVILLE — Clutch three-point shooting and powerful rebounding lifted #8 Tennessee to a 73-57 victory over #21/22 Texas on Sunday afternoon.

From three-point range Tennessee shot 52.4 percent, making 11-of-21 while being led by Shekinna Stricklen (20 points) and Meighan Simmons (10 points), who combined to make 8-of-16 from behind the arc. Stricklen was a career-high 5-of-9 from three-point land.

The Lady Vols (4-2) outrebounded the Longhorns (5-2), 49-38, led by Vicki Baugh’s 11 boards.

Baugh (17 points) and Glory Johnson (11 points and 10 rebounds) both posted double-doubles. Ariel Massengale also scored in double-figures with 10 points while handling out five assists.

The Longhorns were led by Ashleigh Fontenette and Chassidy Fussell, who tallied 22 and 14 points, respectively.

Stricklen’s fifth three-pointer of the game was the final dagger as it put Tennessee up 64-53 with 6:15 to play on a trey as the shot clock was winding down.

The Lady Vols held Texas scoreless for 6:20 late in the game as the Lady Vols went on a 10-0 run while forcing the Longhorns into five turnovers during the spurt. Texas ended the drought on Fontenette’s jumper with 2:40 left in the game, as the Longhorns had fallen behind by 16.

Down by as many as 14 early in the second, the Longhorns cut the deficit to six at 59-53 on a three-pointer by Chelsea Bass with 8:50 left in the second half. That would be Texas’ final points for more than six minutes. The Lady Vols answered as Johnson scored on a lay-up to start a run of 10 consecutive points. Tennessee forced Texas into a 30-second shot clock violation with 6:41 left in regulation with furious defensive pressure.

The Lady Vols picked up their shooting early in the second half and began to pull away, taking a 52-38 lead on a Baugh lay-up with 15:31 left in the game.

Tennessee led 41-32 at halftime thanks to some strong shooting from three-point range as UT knocked down 7-of-13 (54 percent) from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes. The Big Orange was led by Simmons, who was 3-of-5 with 10 first-half points. Baugh added 11 points in the first half along with five rebounds as the Lady Vols held a 29-18 rebounding edge at intermission.

UT expanded a 27-26 lead with 5:19 left to as big as 11 (38-27) with 1:28 left in the first half. Texas had drawn within one on a three-pointer by Fontenette before the Lady Vols went on an 11-1 spurt.

The Lady Vols return to action next Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York as Ten-nessee takes on #22 DePaul in the Maggie Dixon Classic. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPNU.

GAME 7#7 UT vs. #20/21 DePaul // Dec. 11, 2011

GAME 8#6 UT vs. #11 Rutgers // Dec. 13, 2011

NEW YORK - Glory Johnson scored 16 points and Cierra Burdick added 15 to help No. 7 Tennessee beat No. 20 DePaul 84-61 on Sunday in the Maggie Dixon Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Shekinna Stricklen added 12 points while Alicia Manning had season-highs of 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Lady Vols (5-2), who saw their 12-point halftime lead cut to 41-37 before using an 15-4 run to take control. Stricklen had six points during the burst.

Her layup made it 56-43 with 11:19 left and DePaul (8-2) couldn’t get within single digits the rest of the way.

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was honored during No. 1 Baylor’s 73-59 victory over St. John’s with the Maggie Dixon Courage award. Summitt announced in August that she had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Both the Lady Bears and Red Storm came out of their timeouts to applaud the winningest coach in college basketball.

Jasmine Penny scored 16 points and Keisha Hampton added 14 for DePaul.

It was the second time Tennessee played in the Classic named for the former Army wom-en’s coach. The Lady Vols beat Rutgers two years ago. The Scarlet Knights had played in all four of the previous Garden events. Army hosted Ohio State at West Point the first year.

The 28-year-old Dixon died April 6, 2006, of arrhythmia, probably caused by an enlarged heart. Her death came three weeks after she finished her first season as Army coach. She won the admiration of the academy and all of college basketball for leading Army to its first NCAA berth, where the Cadets lost in the first round to Summitt’s Lady Vols.

Tennessee was playing its first game without freshman point guard Ariel Massengale. She had started every game averaging 7.2 points and 5.8 assists.

She injured a finger on her left hand while diving for a loose ball at the end of practice on Thursday and will be sidelined for a few weeks.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The sixth-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team used a pivotal 13-0 run late in the second half to propel the Lady Vols to a 67-61 victory over No. 11 Rutgers on Tuesday evening at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.

The sixth-ranked Lady Vols lost all of a 13-point lead and found themselves down by three before taking control with a late run to seal their 67-61 victory over the Scarlet Knights. Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons hit two clutch 3-pointers during the game-changing spurt.

Trailing 54-51 with 8:33 left, Tennessee (6-2) scored 13 straight points, holding Rutgers without a point for nearly 8 minutes. Vicki Baugh started the burst with a layup and Sim-mons hit consecutive 3-pointers to give the Lady Vols a 61-54 lead. Taber Spani hit another 3 with 1:52 left to seal the victory.

The game featured two Hall of Fame coaches with Pat Summitt and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. The long-time friends have combined for nearly 1,950 victories during their illus-trious careers. They stand first and third on the women’s basketball all-time victory list.

Summitt received a warm standing ovation from the crowd before the game and shared a long embrace with Stringer. Rutgers players wore warmup shirts that said “We Back Pat” in honor of Summitt’s battle with Alzeheimer’s. The school also presented Tennessee with a collage of Stringer’s favorite photos with Summitt and a commemorative jersey at the half. Tennessee held Rutgers scoreless over a 7:55 span as April Sykes connected from down-town with 38 seconds left. As the Lady Vols squandered free throw opportunities, the Scarlet Knights made things interesting, coming as close as 65-61 before a pair of free throws from Shekinna Stricklen sealed the victory for UT.

The Lady Vols got off to a quick start behind Stricklen. The senior preseason All-American had 10 straight points for Tennessee during one stretch. Her jumper with 5:48 left in the half gave the Lady Vols a 33-20 lead. That would be their last points before the half as Rutgers turned up its defensive pressure, scoring the final eight points before the break, including four by Sykes.

Rutgers continued the run to start the second half scoring 11 of the first 14 points. Sykes’ layup 2 1/2 minutes in gave Rutgers its first lead of the game at 37-36. Khadijah Rushdan’s basket moments later capped the 19-3 burst.

Neither team could pull away. Rutgers built a 54-51 lead on consecutive scores by Rushdan and a layup by Sykes with 8:33 left. That would be the Scarlet Knights’ final points until Sykes hit a 3-pointer with 35.9 seconds left that made it 64-57. Rutgers would get within four on Monique’s Oliver’s lay-in with 12.6 seconds left.

Rushdan finished with 16 points. Spani and Simmons each had 13 points for Tennessee.

GAME 9#6 UT vs. UCLA // Dec. 17, 2011

GAME 10#6 UT vs. #4 Stanford // Dec. 20, 2011

LOS ANGELES - Meighan Simmons scored 18 points, Glory Johnson added 17 and No. 6 Tennessee made 18 of its first 20 shots in beating UCLA 85-64 on Saturday.

Vicki Baugh had 14 points and 12 rebounds, Taber Spani added 14 points and Shekinna Stricklen scored 11 for the Lady Vols, who shot 36 of 52 (69.6 percent) from the floor -- not far off the school record of 72.1 percent against Old Dominion on Jan. 4, 1989.

Rebekah Gardner scored 15 of her career-high 24 points in the first half for UCLA (5-4), and Thea Lemberger and Markel Walker added 11 points each for the Bruins.

The win was the fourth straight for the Lady Vols (7-2) and their 18th in 19 meetings all-time against UCLA. It also raised Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt’s career record to 1,078-201.

The 59-year-old Hall of Famer, in her 38th season at Tennessee, is the only coach in NCAA men’s and women’s basketball history to reach 1,000 wins.

The Lady Vols never trailed, making their first eight shots, including three 3-pointers, for a 19-8 lead. The Bruins went on a 10-3 run to draw within four points before Tennessee had a 21-9 burst to make it 43-27. The Lady Vols then missed five of six shots, leaving them shooting 19 of 25 (76 percent) and with a 45-34 lead at halftime.

Tennessee outscored the Bruins 9-2 to begin the second half for a 54-36 lead. UCLA wasn’t closer than 13 points after that. A layup by Baugh with 7:29 remaining made it 74-52, with Tennessee shooting 32 of 43 (74.4 percent) from the field at that stage.

There were only four fouls called and just one free throw in the first half, and 17 fouls and 18 free throws in the game.

Tennessee played its third straight game without starting point guard Ariel Massengale, who dislocated her left middle finger during practice earlier this month.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Nnemkadi Ogwumike scored a career-high 42 points and dazzled in what might have been the most meaningful home game of her senior season, and No. 4 Stanford beat sixth-ranked Tennessee 97-80 on Tuesday night in one of women’s basketballs best rivalries.

The Cardinal extended their school-record home winning streak to 68 games at Maples Pavilion, where a sellout crowd of 7,329 waved red “We Back Pat” rally towels in support of Hall of Fame Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who revealed in August she has early onset Alzheimer’s.

Shekinna Stricklen scored a career-high 27 points to lead the Lady Vols, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.

Glory Johnson added 18 points, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals and Meighan Simmons scored 13 for Tennessee on a night Ogwumike put on a show for national television.

Ogwumike’s basket that hit the rim and bounced in with 10:59 left gave the Cardinal their first double-digit lead of the game at 65-55 - and they only built on that the rest of the way. Ogwu-mike’s two free throws with 3:49 left topped her previous best outing of 38 points on April 4, 2010, against Oklahoma.

Her sophomore sister, Chiney, added 14 points as the Cardinal shot 53.6 percent.

Tennessee shot a sizzling 61.5 percent in the first half to stay within 48-41 at the break before going a cool 37 percent in the second half to finish at 49.1 percent.

The Cardinal, riding a streak of four straight Final Fours without a championship, haven’t lost on their home floor at raucous Maples Pavilion since falling to Florida State in the second round of the NCAA tournament on March 19, 2007.

Stanford has beaten Tennessee three times during that span - also a 73-69 win on Dec. 22, 2007, and a 67-52 victory on Dec. 19, 2009. There also was that monumental 71-59 victory last Dec. 30 that snapped top-ranked Connecticut’s record 90-game winning streak.

Summitt walked onto the court a few minutes before tipoff to a rousing standing ovation from the sellout crowd.

Fellow Hall of Famer VanDerveer was shown on the main elevated center-court scoreboard of-fering her support to Summitt while acknowleding how much Stanford cherishes the rivalry and regular non-conference meetings with the Lady Vols.

VanDerveer said Stanford’s program “is behind her 100 percent.” Summitt was not yet on the court with her team to see the presentation.

“Pat, we love you, we care about you and we wish you the very best in your battle with Alzheim-er’s,” said the video with VanDerveer, who walked to the opposite bench to greet Summitt. They posed for a few photos together.

The Cardinal began the game 3 for 13 to 6 of 8 for Tennessee, which jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the opening 2:50.

The Lady Vols were whistled for a technical foul at the 11:18 mark of the first half for having six players on the court. Stanford converted both free throws to cut Tennessee’s lead to 16-15.

Tennessee freshman guard Ariel Massengale, who had missed last three games nursing a dislo-cated middle finger on her left hand that required minor surgery, entered the game for the first time with 10:45 left. The Lady Vols beat DePaul and won at both Rutgers and UCLA without her. Massengale practiced Monday in the Bay Area.

GAME 11#7/8 UT vs. Old Dominion // Dec. 28, 2011

GAME 12#7/8 UT at Auburn // Jan. 1, 2012

KNOXVILLE - Behind double-doubles from seniors Vicki Baugh and Glory Johnson, the seventh-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team topped Old Dominion, 90-37, Wednesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols spent their practices since last week’s 17-point loss at No. 4 Stanford focused on regaining the defensive excellence that coach Pat Summitt expects of them. The result was a near perfect effort in a 90-37 win over Old Dominion on Wednesday night. “Tonight, it was about Tennessee,” associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “It was about what was across our chest. We focused on getting better. I think what we did today was indicative of how hard we’ve practiced on the defensive end.” Warlick estimated the team had spent all of two minutes total working on offense during practices on Monday and Tuesday. The coaches and players used the rest of the time to work on rebounding, pass deflections and preventing transition baskets -- all things that haunted them in the 97-80 loss to the Cardinal on Dec. 20. The Lady Vols (8-3) outrebounded the Lady Monarchs 54-32, limited them to 25 percent shooting, forced 23 turnovers and gave up just one basket on the fastbreak. Tennessee now has won 16 straight and 31 of the last 32 against the Lady Monarchs, whose 37 points was the lowest total scored by either team in the 45-game annual series. Tennessee appeared a bit rusty on the offensive end early against Old Dominion (3-10), which scored the first two baskets of the game. The Lady Monarchs were leading 8-7 when Alicia Manning hit a jumper with 16:14 in the first half that launched a 14-2 run to give the Lady Vols control of the game. Ariel Massengale, who hadn’t started a game since dislocating her left middle finger in practice Dec. 8, hit back-to-back 3s in the span of 28 seconds during the stretch. “I was really happy with our play at the very beginning because Tennessee is such a big place to play and it’s really big-time,” Old Dominion guard Jackie Cook said. “I was really proud of how we stepped up and played from the very start. We just couldn’t finish.” Tennessee took a commanding 50-20 halftime lead against Old Dominion by shooting 50 percent from the field and hitting 6 of 12 from 3. The Lady Vols turned the ball over just twice and posted 15 assists before the break. Their improved defense led to balanced offense, with Johnson logging 16 points and 11 re-bounds. Baugh had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Meighan Simmons added 12 points, Massengale scored 11, Isabelle Harrison had 10 and Alicia Manning grabbed 15 rebounds. “I like a game like this because we’re working on ourselves,” Johnson said. `We’re working on our-selves as a team and we’re trying to get better and work on our defense. We have so many things that we have to work on outside of the big games. We only have so much time.” Cook led Old Dominion with 13 points, as the Lady Vols managed to frustrate Old Dominion’s top player, Tia Lewis. Lewis entered the game averaging 18.1 points and 9.7 rebounds but finished with eight points, eight rebounds and four fouls. By the end of the game, Tennessee had scored 46 and had 26 points off turnovers. Old Dominion only scored eight points inside and had just a single point off the Lady Vols’ 11 giveaways.

AUBURN, Ala. - The seventh-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team opened the new year and SEC play with a 73-52 win against Auburn on Sunday afternoon at Auburn Arena, marking UT’s 34th consecutive SEC win dating back to the 2009-10 season.

The Lady Vols won going away in a game when their shots weren’t falling. Hounding Auburn into mistakes helped. Meighan Simmons scored 20 points and the Lady Vols (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) closed on a big run. Tennessee (9-3, 1-0 SEC) came into the game last in the league in scoring defense, giving up 63.5 points a game, but forced 25 turnovers and had 12 steals. It was more than enough to earn the Lady Vols a 34th-consecutive SEC win. The Lady Vols closed the game on a 19-6 run to turn a tight contest into a blowout and win for the 27th time in the last 30 meetings with the Tigers (8-6, 0-1). Shekinna Stricklen added 17 points for Tennessee but was disgusted with her 5-of-18 shooting performance. Glory Johnson had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Alicia Manning scored 10 points. Simmons had 13 in the second half.

Camille Glymph led Auburn with 21 points, making 5 of 10 from 3-point range.

The Lady Vols struggled from the field, shooting just 32 percent (21 of 65) after coming in as the SEC’s second-best shooting team. However, they gave Auburn troubles on the boards and with a trapping defense that often forced the Tigers into hurried shots with the shot clock ticking down. Tennessee also dominated in rebounding 49-31. The Lady Vols turned a 31-29 halftime lead into a 14-point cushion midway through the second half. Johnson also boiled down the essence of Summitt’s halftime message.

“Basically, if we don’t get it together, we’re walking home,” she said. “And it’s a long walk. I figured this isn’t the way Tennessee plays. We know how to play and we’re not playing to our standards. When we’re not rebounding and settling for good shots instead of great shots, that’s what hap-pens.” Auburn managed to cut the 14-point deficit in half with Glymph hitting back-to-back 3s to make it 53-46 with 8 minutes to play. Then, Tennessee hit 7 of 8 free throws over the next 3 minutes to spark a 9-0 run and all but put the game away. The Lady Vols went 28 of 31 from the line to help overcome the poor shooting night.

GAME 14#6/7 UT vs. #16/15 Georgia // Jan. 5, 2012

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The #6/7 Lady Vols used a 30-0 run in the first half to run away with a 90-47 victory over Chattanooga on Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee moved to 10-3 with the easy win in its final home non-conference game this season. The Lady Vols will play their third game in five nights on Thursday as Georgia comes to Knox-ville for a 7 p.m., tip-off on CSS. Freshman Ariel Massengale (19 points) and Isabelle Harrison (13 points) each scored career-highs in the win as four Lady Vols scored in double-figures. Glory Johnson tallied a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Meighan Simmons also scored 10 points. For Johnson, it was her third straight double-double and sixth of the season.

The Lady Vols outrebounded the Lady Mocs, 55-28, while shooting 47.2 percent from the floor. Chattanooga was limited to just 30.4 percent for the game including 20.7 (6-of-29) in the first half. The game marked the return of junior guard Kamiko Williams, who missed the first 12 games recovering from a torn ACL. Williams played 16 minutes and had two points, four assists, two steals and three rebounds. The Lady Mocs (8-4) were led by former Lady Vol Faith Dupree, who had 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Tennessee led 10-8 with 16:34 left in the first half before that 30-0 run, which made it 40-8 with 5:48 left in the half on a jumper by Cierra Burdick.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - #6/7 Tennessee pulled away from #16/15 Georgia with a 32-9 run in the second half before 13,721 fans to post a 80-51 victory at Thompson-Boling Arena on Thursday night. Glory Johnson posted a double-double to lead four players in double-figures. For Johnson, her 22-point, 13-rebound effort was her fourth straight double-double I and sixth this season. The freshman Ariel Massengale nearly notched her first-career double-double as she tied her career-highs with 19 points and 9 assists. The Lady Vols improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the SEC with its fourth win a row. Georgia suf-fered just its third loss to stand at 12-3 and 1-1 in the league. The loss ended the Lady Bulldogs four-game win streak. Tennessee dominated the glass, holding a 52-32 edge on the boards led by Johnson. Vicki Baugh also hauled down 10 to go along with eight points. The Lady Vols’ defense was stellar in holding Georgia to just 34.9 percent from the floor including 4-of-21 from 3-point range. Meighan Simmons scored in double-figures for the seventh game in a row with 10. Shekinna Stricklen tallied 12 for her 12th game of the year with 10 or more. Tennessee went on a 24-6 run midway through the second half to take 68-42 lead with 7:16 left on Johnson’s 3-point play. The run expanded to 32-9 on a Cierra Burdick putback with a little more than two minutes left in the game, making it 76-45. The Lady Vols continued to pull away as Johnson converted a fastbreak 3-point play to give UT a 51-36 lead with 13 minutes left in the game. Simmons’ 3-pointer with 11:45 left made it a 17-point bulge at 57-40. Two beautiful fastbreak give-and-gos between Stricklen and Johnson in the final minute gave Tennessee a 36-27 lead at intermission. Massengale had 15 points in the first half to lead all scor-ers as the Lady Vols shot 52 percent. Down by as many as 11, Georgia cut the deficit to five on a 3-pointer by Meredith Mitchell with 2:05 left in the first half causing the Lady Vols to call timeout. Massengale continued her assault on the hoop with a putback lay-up with 3:51 left in the first half as Tennessee took a 30-20 lead. Vicki Baugh’s first basket of the game with 5:41 left in the first half put the Lady Vols up 28-19. Tennessee opened the game strong, taking a 20-11 lead in the first 8:13 as Massengale made her first four shots including two 3-pointers. The Lady Vols return to the hardwood on Sunday as Tennessee travels to Arkansas for a 3:30 p.m., match-up that will air on ESPNU and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

GAME 15#6/7 UT vs. Arkansas // Jan. 8, 2012

GAME 16#6/7 UT vs. #9/8 Kentucky // Jan. 12, 2012

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Shekinna Stricklen made sure she went out in style in her last perfor-mance in her home state. Stricklen scored 19 points, and Glory Johnson recorded her fifth straight double-double, as Tennessee (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) routed Arkansas 69-38 on Sunday. The win was the 36th straight in Southeastern Conference play for the Lady Volunteers (12-3, 3-0), who opened the game with a 25-3 run and never looked back. Tennessee hasn’t lost an SEC game since a 53-50 loss at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010, and it was in no jeopardy of doing so while holding the Razorbacks to a season-low point total. Arkansas, meanwhile, remained winless in SEC play. The Razorbacks (11-4, 0-3) hit only 3 of 30 shots in the first half, and their 10-of-55 shooting for the game (18.1 percent) was the worst in school history. Stricklen, who starred in high school in Morrilton, Ark., scored what was a career-high 26 points in a win at Arkansas last season, and the Lady Volunteers’ leading scorer was equally impressive this time around. The senior scored six points early as Tennessee opened with a 14-0 run, including one of her two 3-pointers for the game. She finished 8 of 12 from the field and had eight rebounds in front on a sizeable and vocal cheering section behind the Tennessee bench. The strong effort came after Stricklen had shot just 32 percent over her last four games. Stricklen’s performance was hardly the only dominant one.

Johnson, who entered the game only four rebounds short of 1,000 for her career, didn’t need long to reach that mark against the Razorbacks (11-4, 0-3). She grabbed her fourth rebound and scored on a putback late in the first half to put Tennessee up 31-8 -- finishing with 15 points and 14 rebounds. The game was well out of hand at that point.

Arkansas didn’t score until Lyndsey Harris’ 3-pointer 6:24 into the game, and it opened 1 of 19 from the field. Harris, who finished with 14 points, hit two first-half 3-pointers, and the Razorbacks’ only other basket was a putback by Quistelle Wiliams. Arkansas’ previous worst shooting half was a 3-of-26 performance against Wichita State in 1981. Its previous worst game was 8 of 41 against Louisiana Tech in 1978. The Razorbacks entered the game shooting just 38 percent as a team for the season. The previous worst performance this season was a 17-of-53 effort against Florida State in November, but they managed to win that game 55-52. They had no such chance against the suffocating defense of Tennessee, which held Arkan-sas’ leading scorer C’eira Ricketts to two points on 1-of-11 shooting. Harris didn’t fare much better at 4 of 14. Johnson joined an elite group of Lady Vols to reach the 1,000/1,000 club. Also achieving 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their UT careers were Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A’dia Mathies drove the lane and scored in traffic with 4.2 seconds left to finish with a career-high 34 points and No. 9 Kentucky beat No. 6 Tennessee 61-60 Thurs-day night to snap the Lady Volunteers’ 36-game Southeastern Conference winning streak. With Kentucky trailing 60-57, Mathies followed her own shot to cut it to one with 46 seconds left. After Tennessee (12-4, 3-1) was called for a charge and Kentucky (15-2, 4-0) used a timeout, Mathies took the ball at halfcourt, dribbled into the lane and hit a 7-foot floater off the glass in the paint. Kamiko Williams drove the length of the floor, but missed an off-balance 16-footer as time expired. Tennessee rallied from 12 points down with 7:46 left to take a lead, but lost for the first time in the SEC since falling 53-50 at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010. Keyla Snowden added 11 points to help Kentucky win its first four games in conference play for the first time in history to go with 15 straight at home. Glory Johnson scored 17 points, Vicki Baugh 16 and Shekinna Stricklen 11 for Tennessee. Kentucky led 50-38 off two free throws by Mathies with 7:46 left when Tennessee used a 14-2 rally to tie it. Meighan Simmons and Stricklen hit 3s, while Ariel Massengale’s three-point play made it 54-all. Then, after Mathies made two more free throws, Stricklen hit a layup, Kentucky’s Amber Smith threw a pass away that led to a free throw by Johnson and Mathies fell and lost the ball that started Tennessee’s 3-on-0 break that ended with a layup by Baugh to give the Lady Vols a 59-56 with 2:06 left. Bria Goss made one of two free throws for the Wildcats and Johnson hit the second of two attempts to put Tennessee back ahead 60-57. Goss then missed a 3 that would’ve tied it, but grabbed her own rebound and Kentucky got another possession. Mathies scored on a putback to cut it to 60-59 and Stricklen was whistled for a charge with 28 seconds to play, setting up the final possession. The last time these two teams played in the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols routed the Wildcats by 25. This one looked to be different from the start between the two schools that have many ties on the coaching staff on both sides. Tennessee used a 10-2 run midway through the first half to take a 20-18 lead before both teams went cold for the next five minutes, combining to miss 25 consecutive shots and commit 12 turnovers before Mathies grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a putback to end the cold snap. The Lady Vols’ struggles continued. Alicia Manning hit the second of two free throws, but a bucket by Snowden gave Kentucky a 25-21 halftime lead as Tennessee finished the half with 16 straight misses and eight turnovers. Johnson’s 8-footer in the lane on the team’s first shot of the second half ended the span of nearly 11 minutes without a field goal, but Kentucky would still build a 50-38 lead behind Mathies and Snowden before Tennessee’s furious rally.

GAME 17#6/7 UT vs. #25/24 Vanderbilt // Jan. 15, 2012

GAME 18#9 UT vs. LSU // Jan. 19, 2012

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A 21-4 run over a six-minute span midway through the second half helped lift the #6/7 Lady Vols to a 87-64 victory over #25/24 Vanderbilt on Saturday before 17,879. Shekinna Stricklen led the way with 20 points and Glory Johnson posted her sixth double-double in the last seven games with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Vicki Baugh con-tributed 16 points and seven rebounds for the Lady Vols, who rebounded from a 61-60 loss at #9 Kentucky on Thursday night. Tennessee improved to 13-4 overall, 4-1 in the SEC.

Meighan Simmons chipped in with 10 points and Ariel Massengale set her career-high in assists with 12 to go along with six points. The 12 assists tie for the fifth-most in Tennessee history. That mark was first accomplished by Associate Head Coach Holly Warlick in 1980.

Christina Foggie led all scorers with 28 points for the Commodores (14-3, 2-2). Stephanie Holzer added 14.

After a very tight game for the first 25 minutes, where neither team led by double-figures, the Lady Vols turned up the defensive intensity and created offensive opportunities. Ten-nessee had 14 steals and shot 52.9 from the floor. It was the third time this season, Tennes-see shot 50 percent from the floor. Johnson tied her career-high with five steals.

The Lady Vols limited the NCAA’s best 3-point shooting team to just 31.3 from beyond the arc (5-of-16). Vanderbilt came into the game making 44.1 percent of its shots from trifecta land.

As part of the 21-4 run, the Lady Vols used a 10-0 run to break open the game midway through the second half. Tenacious defense helped create easy offensive opportunities for UT. After neither team led by double-figures for the first 28 minutes of action, the Lady Vols ballooned to a 15-point lead with 10:26 left in the game.

A Stricklen 3-pointer with 14 minutes left in the second half, gave the Lady Vols a 51-43 advantage after the teams had played even early in the second half. Tennessee then took the first double-figure lead of the game on a pair of Baugh free throws with 11:44 left. Just seconds later Johnson stole the ball and layed in home for a 57-45 lead for Tennessee. On the next possession, Simmons stole another pass and Massengale finished 10 consecutive points for the Lady Vols.

The lead ballooned to 20 on a Baugh jump shot with 4:30 left, giving the Lady Vols a 77-57 lead.

Tennessee held a 39-36 advantage at halftime thanks to 50 percent shooting from the floor (16-of-32) with eight points apiece from Baugh and Johnson. The half featured three ties and team led by double-figures.

Johnson went down with an apparent shoulder injury with 1:49 left in the half as she got tangled up with Elan Brown going after a loose ball. After halftime, she returned with vengeance and as she racked up the double-double.

A Briana Bass 3-pointer followed by a Baugh lay-up gave the Lady Vols a 35-26 lead with 3:34 left in the first half. Vanderbilt came right back with consecutive 3-pointers by Foggie to cut the UT lead to 35-32 with 2:49 left.

Johnson’s putback with 6:30 left in the first half gave Tennessee the first lead larger than six points in the first half, 25-19. That finished a mini 6-0 run for UT.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In a physical game that saw both teams playing without key players due to injury, #9 Tennessee battled to a 65-56 victory over LSU on Thursday night before 13,107 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols moved to 14-4 overall and 5-1 in the SEC. The Lady Tigers, coached by former UT star Nikki Caldwell, fell to 13-5 and 4-2 in the league. Meighan Simmons led Tennessee with 19 points and Cierra Burdick netted a career-high tying 15, for her highest scoring game in more than a month. An ailing Glory Johnson played just 24 minutes and scored 10 points. Shekinna Stricklen missed the first game of her career with a right knee sprain. Vicki Baugh pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds as the Lady Vols outrebounded LSU, 45-39.

Courtney Jones led LSU with 16 points and Adrienne Webb added 12. LSU’s leading scorer LaSondra Barrett (12.5 ppg) was held to her second-lowest scoring game of the season with six before fouling out. In a very physical and tight game, neither team led by double-figures the entire game and neither team had a lead by more than two possessions for the first 30:30. The game was tied on 11 occasions before the Lady Vols ended the game on a 16-7 run over the final 6:22 to secure the win. Tennessee used a 10-0 run to take a 47-39 lead with 9:30 left in the second half. Back-to-back fastbreak lay-ups by Simmons and Johnson followed by a Cierra Burdick jumper put the Lady Vols ahead 45-39 with 10:34 left in the second half. But LSU retaliated with its own 10-2 run to tie the game at 49 all with 6:40 left in regula-tion. Burdick ended that spurt with a jump shot to regain a Lady Vols lead, 51-49 with 6:20 remaining. The lead moved to 56-51 thanks to late successful free-throw shooting. Tennessee had a stretch of making 7-of-8 foul shots late in the game after starting 6-of-15 from the charity stripe. Fastbreak lay-ups by Johnson and Ariel Massengale 19 seconds apart put Tennessee up 60-53 with 2:40 left in the game. Tennessee finished the game off with free throws in the final minutes to secure UT’s 28th straight home SEC win. LSU and Tennessee stood tied 26 all at intermission with solid defense being played by both teams. The Lady Vols were limited to 9-of-28 (32.1 percent) from the floor while the Lady Tigers shot 11-of-32 (34.4). Simmons led all scorers with eight points in the first half. Just 2.9 seconds before halftime, LSU guard Destini Hughes suffered a leg injury was the taken off the court in a wheelchair and did not return. The Lady Tigers were also without point guard Jeanne Kenney, who suffered a concussion in the first minutes of the game. Massengale gave the Lady Vols their first lead of the game since a Simmons 3-pointer opened the scoring, as the freshman’s lay-up put UT up 14-13 with 10:16 left in the first half. LSU quickly responded with a Barrett trey to regain the lead. That lead was short lived as Tennessee used a 13-5 run to take a 24-18 lead with 5:15 left in the first half. LSU came into the game with the nation’s second-best field goal percentage defense (30.3) and third in scoring defense (47.5). The Lady Tigers limited Tennessee to 37.5 from the floor. The Lady Vols defense was even more stiff in holding LSU to 34.4 from the floor.

GAME 19#9 UT vs. #2 Notre Dame // Jan. 23, 2012

GAME 20#7/9 UT vs. Alabama // Jan. 26, 2012

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Skylar Diggins matched a season high with 27 points Monday night and No. 2 Notre Dame beat No. 7 Tennessee 72-44, holding the Vols to their lowest scoring output in school history.

Devereaux Peters had 16 points and 16 rebounds for the Irish (20-1), who have won 17 straight. Tennessee (14-5) got 13 points from Meighan Simmons, but shot just 27.9 percent in the lopsided loss.

Notre Dame was 0-20 all-time against the Vols before a 73-59 victory in the NCAA regional finals last March in Dayton, Ohio. The Irish haven’t lost since Nov. 20 to top-ranked Baylor and have now beaten both UConn and Tennessee on their home floor this season after toppling both in last year’s NCAA tournament.

Leading at the half, the Irish jumped out early in the second as Diggins sank a 3-pointer and Peters had three inside baskets in an 11-3 run that opened up a 39-21 lead three minutes in. Tennessee continued to miss on everything, from both the field and the free-throw line.

Diggins made a nice strip of an inside pass, dribbled the length of the court, passed to Peters and then got it back for a layup to make it 44-26 with just over 14 minutes left. Then after picking up her third foul, Diggins hit her fourth 3-pointer of the game to make it a 21-point lead. Diggins was 10 of 17 from the field and 5 for 7 on 3-pointers.

After Tennessee closed to within 16 with about seven minutes to go, the Irish went on one final run to put it away. Kayla McBride added 17 points for the Irish.

The Vols made just 17 of 61 field-goal attempts and were only 7 for 16 from the free-throw line.

Rebounding, including eight early offensive caroms, kept the Vols close in the early stages of the game because they could not make a shot. They missed 14 of their first 17 attempts from the floor and finished the first half 7 for 35 (20 percent). And the poor shooting extended to the line, where the Vols were only 4 for 10. The field-goal percentage and total points were first-half lows for the Vols this season.

McBride, showing an ability to break for the basket, had nine straight Notre Dame points at one juncture and scored 11 in the first half. Diggins ended up with 10 at the half, hitting two free throws with 2 seconds left to put the Irish up 28-18.

Tennessee’s leading scorer, Shekinna Stricklen, who missed the previous game against LSU with a sprained knee, returned to the lineup and managed five points - five points under her average. And Vols guard Taber Spani, who has been sidelined with a bone bruise in her left knee since Dec. 26, was also able to play.

Meighan Simmons was the only Lady Vol to score in double-figures, recording a team-high 13 points. Glory Johnson chipped in nine points and nine rebounds, while Vicki Baugh tallied eight points and six boards.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The #7/9 Tennessee women’s basketball team got back on the win-ning track with a convincing 86-56 victory at Alabama. Shekinna Stricklen led four players in double-figures with 14. The Lady Vols improved to 15-5 overall with a 6-1 mark in the SEC. The Crimson Tide dropped to 10-11 and remain winless in the league at 0-7.

The Lady Vols unveiled a new starting lineup featuring Glory Johnson, Cierra Burdick, Briana Bass, Vicki Baugh and Ariel Massengale and it proved successful. Johnson tallied 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Burdick added nine while both Bass and Baugh tallied eight. Massengale was a sensational distributor handing out 11 assists -- one shy of her career-high.

Coming off the bench, Kamiko Williams and Isabelle Harrison each chipped in with 10.Kyra Crosby led Alabama with 15 points in defeat. She was Alabama’s lone double-figure scorer. The Tide was held to just 1-of-14 from 3-point territory.

“We were happy with the pace we played,” Tennessee associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “Obviously, we wanted to score. We wanted an up-tempo game. I thought the first half, Alabama hung tough with us.”

Tennessee jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the game’s first 2 minutes and was comfortably ahead for most of the opening half. The Vols led by 15 points at the break.

“To have a good start, I think that helps our team a lot, gives us a lot of confidence and warns people for next time,” Johnson said.

The Vols had only four turnovers compared to Alabama’s eight. Tennessee also won the rebounding battle 24-17.

“What I thought happened in the first half is if we’d made some free throws, maybe kept the score a little bit closer, it might’ve been a different type basketball game,” Alabama coach Wendell Hudson said. “But from the effort standpoint, Tennessee is a very good basketball team, and I thought we competed.”

Tennessee scored 25 points off 22 turnovers, including 11 steals.

The Vols shot 45 percent from the field (32-of-71) but just 21 percent on 3-point attempts (4-of-19). Alabama’s performance from long range was much worse; the Tide went 1-for-14.

GAME 21#7/9 UT vs. #17/15 Georgia // Jan. 29, 2012

ATHENS, Ga. - After leading by just one point at halftime, #7/9 Tennessee outscored #17/15 Georgia in the second half, 38-22, to claim a 67-50 victory at Stegman Coliseum on Sunday evening. The Lady Vols (16-5, 7-1 SEC) scored the first 11 points of the second half to take a 40-28 lead and never looked back. The closest the Lady Dogs (16-6, 5-4) got for the remainder of the game was eight points. Shekinna Stricklen led all scorers with 24 points. Ariel Massengale was Tennessee’s only other double-figure scorer with 16. Georgia was led by Meredith Mitchell (13) and Jasmine Hassell (11). The Lady Vols’ defen-sive was stifling as it limited Georgia to just 28.8 from the floor (17-of-59) and a 2-of-18 from 3-point range. Taber Spani returned to action and scored three points. Glory Johnson was the top rebounder with eight to go along with five points. Stricklen keyed that 11-0 run to start the second half as she scored six points in the spurt that started with a Meighan Simmons 3-pointer just 15 seconds into the second half. Tennessee led 29-28 at halftime after Georgia cut its deficit to one just before halftime on a layup by Erika Ford with 30 seconds left in the half. The Lady Vols built a 19-11 lead on a 3-pointer by Spani with 10:50 left in the half, but Georgia answered with the next six points. To get back to within two at 19-17. The Lady Vols return to action on Thursday as South Carolina comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m. Tip. That game will air on CSS and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.
