2011 NCAA TOURNEY TIME FOR TENNESSEE The Lady Vols are playing in the postseason for the 36th time in Coach Pat Summitt’s 37-year career at Tennessee. UT served as host for NCAA First/Second Rounds from 1982-2003, 2005 and 2010. UT starts the tournament at home in Knoxville for the second consecutive season since hosting the old eight-team pod in 2005. In the 30 years of the women’s NCAA Tournament, UT has been on the road for the opening rounds five times. The Lady Vols traveled in 2004 (Tallahassee, Fla.), 2006 (Norfolk, Va.), 2007 (Pittsburgh, Pa.), 2008 (West Lafayette, Ind.) and 2009 (Bowling Green, Ky.). WELCOME TO K-TOWN NCAA number one seed, SEC Champ and fourth-ranked Tennessee (31-2) is hosting 2011 NCAA First/Second Round games and welcomes A-Sun Champ and #16-seeded Stetson (20-12); at-large selection, and #8-seeded Marquette (238) and at-large participant and #9-seeded Texas (19-13) to Thompson-Boling Arena. The winner of the UT vs. SU game will take on the winner of the Marquette-Texas contest on Mar. 21 at 7 p.m. That winner will advance to the Sweet 16 at the Dayton Regional, Mar. 26 & 28. BREAKING DOWN THE DAYTON BRACKET— HOW WE’VE FARED ALL-TIME Of the other 15 teams in the Dayton bracket, Tennessee has faced 10 schools all-time.

OVERALL NCAA RECORD: 0-1 BEST FINISH: First Round (2005) FACING THIS YEAR’S TOURNEY TEAMS Stetson faced just one other NCAA Tournament team this season, falling to Florida State on Dec. 30 in Tallahassee. If the Hatters are able to pull off only the second 16-over-1 upset in NCAA women’s basketball history, they would take on the winner of eighth-seed Marquette and nine-seed Texas. Stetson is 1-1 all-time against Marquette and has never played Texas. STETSON VS. 2011 NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS Dec. 30 #23/25 Florida State L,44-92 THE MIRACLE IN MACON Stetson almost didn’t make the Atlantic Sun Tournament Finals, let alone the “Big Dance” after giving up a three-point play with 1.4 seconds left to give Belmont a 46-45 lead in the conference tourney semifinals. However, sophomore guard Victoria McGowan swished a 55-foot running heave at the buzzer to propel the Hatters to the A-Sun Tourney Final where they would cruise past Jacksonville, 69-50, to earn their second trip to the NCAA Tournament. McGowan’s shot was named No. 2 on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays. She scored a game-high 22 points in the miracle win. EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS Stetson was picked to finish 10th in the 11-team Atlantic Sun by both the league’s coaches and media members in the preseason after finishing with a record of 6-24 in 2009-10. The Hatters returned three starters and added sophomore star Victoria McGowan and A-Sun All-Freshman pick Sasha Sims. Stetson raised its scoring average by 11.2 ppg (55.0-66.2) and its shooting percentage by six points (35.2-41.2) this season. This season marks just the third time Stetson has won 20 games in a season in 36 years. TRANSFER TAKEOVER Stetson has two starters that transferred from other NCAA Division I schools, a reserve who came from a community college and fourth transfer sitting out this season. Starting guard Victoria McGowan, a sophomore, played sparingly at Bowling Green in 2008-09, averaging just 1.0 ppg, before transferring to Stetson - where she has emerged as the Hatters leading scorer (14.2 ppg) and facilitator (4.4 apg) and captured All-Atlantic Sun
LADY VOL BASKETBALL • EIGHT-TIME NCAA CHAMPIONS (1987-89-91-96-97-98-2007-08)
Tennessee NCAA Tournament Game Notes • Mar. 19 & 21 • First/Second Rounds Second Team honors this season. Senior center Natasha Graboski averaged 5.5 ppg and 5.1 rpg as a starter for Cincinnati in 2007-08, but transferred to Stetson prior to the 2008-09 season. A two-year starter in the post for the Hatters, Graboski is averaging 10.1 ppg and 6.8 rpg and has team-best six double-doubles this season. Junior guard Maireed McNally came to Stetson after two seasons at Norfolk Community College in Norfolk, Neb. A Belfast, N. Ireland, native, she is averaging 2.0 ppg in 10.5 mpg. Last but not least, Shanasa Sanders is sitting out this season under transfer rules after 5.3 ppg and 3.0 rpg for Cincinnati the past two seasons. LADY VOLS ARE (LITTLE) LADY KILLERS Tennessee has faced three teams this season that had a 5-foot-5 or shorter player as its leading scorer and harassed all three into scoring below their average. Stetson’s 5-5 Victoria McGowan will be the fourth dynamo scoring leader UT faces this season. She averages 14.2 ppg, while shooting 40.4 percent from the field. Below is the trio of pint-sized star guards UT faced with their season scoring statistics and how each fared against the Big Orange. Arizona State senior Dymond Simon, 5-5 Season Scoring: 13.5 ppg on 34.7 % shooting. Versus UT: She had 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting (32.3%), including just 1-of-5 from three. Tennessee won, 80-64, on Nov. 21 in Knoxville. Lamar senior Jenna Plumley, 5-3 Season Scoring: 15.7 ppg on 37.2% shooting. Versus UT: Plumley made just 2-of-10 shots (20%), including only 1-of-8 three attempts while committing nine turnovers. Her five points were a season low, as UT won, 99-55, on Dec. 1 in Knoxville. ETSU senior Tara Davis, 5-5 Season Scoring: 15.5 ppg, while shooting 33.5 percent. Versus UT: The A-Sun First Teamer was held to just seven points on 1-of-9 shooting (11.1%), including 1-of-6 from three. Davis fouled out and Tennessee won 102-53 on Dec. 22 in Knoxville. DON’T FOUL ’EM Stetson is shooting a school record 72.4% (446616) from the charity stripe in 2010-11. Simone Taylor, a reserve guard/forward, leads the Hatters in free throw percentage at 83.7%, while sophomore guard Ashley Dennis (76.5), senior guard Tierra Brown (75.8), senior center Natalie Graboski (73.5), senior post Jessica Conner (71.0) and sophomore guard Victoria McGowan (70,7) are all regulars shooting above 70%. Only one Hatter is shooting below 65% from the line - sophomore forward Janelle Mills (58.3) - a starter. The Lady Vols are shooting just 67.0% (456-681) from the line this season, while allowing opponents to shoot 68.7% (323470). Stetson ranks 71st in the nation in free throw percentage, while Tennessee sits at 211th. UT vs. 16 SEEDS It’s no surprise that Tennessee holds a commanding 13-0 record all-time against No. 16 seeds, beating them by an average of 44.1 points per game, dating back to UT’s first matchup with a 16-seed in 1994 - a 111-37 win over North Carolina A&T in Knoxville. That matchup was Tennessee’s most lopsided victory over a 16-seed, while 2004’s 77-54 win over Colgate in Tallahassee was the closest. The most points Tennessee has scored against a No. 16 seed in 113 in 1999 against Appalachian State in Knoxville. The most a 16th-seed has scored versus the Big Orange came by Liberty in a 102-68 UT win in 1998 in Knoxville. BRIA FACED THE LADY VOLS ONCE BEFORE Stetson head coach Lynn Bria was an assistant for West Virginia in 2006-07 when the Lady Vols defeated the Mountaineers, 67-49, on Nov. 21, 2007 in
Charleston, W. Va. Bria was previously the head coach at Ohio University for seven seasons from 1999-06. Bria’s departure from the Bobcats opened the door for former Lady Vol Semeka Randall to take over the head coaching position with the Bobcats in 2008 - a position she still has. Sylvia Crowley was the OU head coach for the season between the Randall and the Bria tenures.
HENRY MADE A STOP AT STETSON TOO Former Lady Vol point guard Lea Henry (1979-83) was an assistant coach at Stetson for one season in 1985-86. She led the Lady Vols in assists from 1980-83 and was the head coach at Georgia State from 19942010.
STETSON WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING The Hatters helped the Lady Vols open ThompsonBoling Arena on Dec. 3, 1987 in a doubleheader with the Vols to christen the new Tennessee basketball home. Tennessee routed Stetson, 102-59, and was led by Bridgette Gordon’s 20 points and five boards. Tonya Edwards added 19 points, while Lisa Webb notched a double-double (12 pts, 10 rebs). Dawn Marsh was the first basketball player to score a goal in the new facility when she hit a layup 12 seconds into the game. The Vols defeated Marquette, 82-56, to give UT a clean sweep on the first day at the new arena.

GORDON THE GREAT One of the most decorated Lady Vol basketball players of all-time, Bridgette Gordon, hails from DeLand, Fla. - home of the Hatters. A 2007 inductee into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, Gordon was named to the all-tournament team of Head Coach Pat Summitt’s first national championship team in 1987 before leading UT to a second national championship and capturing Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors in 1989. Gordon was SEC Rookie of the Year in 1986, SEC Player of the Year and SEC Female Athlete of the Year in 1989 and a two-time State Farm All-American in 1988 and 1989. She captured a gold medal for Team USA at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea and played professionally for Pool Comense in Casnate, Italy. Gordon still ranks second in UT history in scoring (2,462 points) field goals (1,017) and steals (336). She is one of just five Lady Vols to have their number retired. Born on April 27, 1967 in DeLand, Fla., Gordon attended DeLand High School from 1982-85 where she led the Lady Bulldogs to their first state championship in 1984. After playing professionally until 2000, Gordon broke into coaching at Stetson and served as an assistant coach with the Hatters from 2001-06. Stetson compiled a record of 59-87 during her five seasons on staff and made its only other NCAA Tournament appearance in 2005. She is currently an assistant coach on fellow former Lady Vol Jody Adams’ staff at Wichita State. The Shockers went 17-13 during the regular season and played Kansas in the first round of the WNIT on Wednesday.

LAST TIME OUT Marquette hasn’t played since it fell, 68-62, to No. 4-seeded Rutgers in a BIG EAST Tournament quarterfinal. The Golden Eagles got 18 points from senior Angel Robinson, but started the game just 2-of14 from the field. The Scarlet Knights outrebounded Marquette, 42-33, while also shooting 44.4 percent from the field for the contest. Senior Jasmine Collins added 17 points and nine rebounds for MU, which shot a dismal 26.9 percent from 3-point range, going 7-of26. BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN This marks Marquette’s ninth appearance in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and first since 2007. The Golden Eagles have advanced to the NCAA Second Round on three occasions, most recently in 2007, when they fell to No. 3-seeded Oklahoma, 7847. DOING IT ALL Senior Angel Robinson will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the all-time best players to ever suit up for the Golden Eagles. Among Marquette’s career records lists, she ranks sixth in scoring with 1,661 career points, fourth in assists with 560, second in steals with 273 and second in free throws made with 426. SENIOR MOMENTS Marquette’s five seniors account for 73.8 percent of the team’s points. Senior Angel Robinson, a first-team All-BIG EAST selection leads the way for the Golden Eagles, averaging a team-high 13.3 points per game. Classmate Tatiyiana McMorris, who netted second-team All-BIG EAST honors, checks in with 12.5 ppg, while Paige Fiedorowicz also averages double figures, posting 10.5 ppg. Senior Jasmine Collins and Courtney Weibel both provide sparks off the bench, averaging 9.2 and 4.9 ppg, respectively. GOING THE DISTANCE Angel Robinson has played all 40 minutes in eight games this season, including all 45 minutes in an overtime win at Pittsburgh. Robinson’s 34.8 minutes per game average ranked third in the BIG EAST. Interestingly, her season-low in minutes also came against Pittsburgh on March 5, where she was limited to just 19 minutes because of foul trouble. DISHING IT OUT Marquette’s 16.5 assists per game ranked 17th nationally and fourth in the BIG EAST. Six Golden
Eagles recorded more than 54 assists this season, led by Angel Robinson’s 95 dimes. McMorris dished out 89 assists, while Fiedorowicz had 70. Marquette’s 16 assists in its BIG EAST Tournament opener against Pittsburgh were a school record for the conference tourney.
Another notable Golden Eagle is Academy Awardnominated actress Amy Madigan (‘68) co-starred in Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner. Sports Illustrated columnist Steve Rushin (‘88) also graduted from Marquette. Rushin is married to ESPN Women’s College Basketball Analyst Rebecca Lobo.
SLAYING THE PHOENIX Marquette defeated No. 23/17 Green Bay, 6360, on Dec. 12. While it certainly seemed like a solid win at the time, it wasn’t until the season ended that it took on extra significance. The Phoenix finished the season an astounding 32-1, meaning that MU was the lone team to defeat Green Bay this season. Paige Fiedorowicz scored 15 points to lead the Golden Eagles, while Angel Robinson chipped in 14.
PLAYING IT CLOSE Marquette has had eight games this season decided by five-or-fewer points. The Golden Eagles boast a record of 6-2 in those contests, including a 7573 overtime victory at No. 15/14 Georgetown on Jan. 8
DEFENDING THE DEEP BALL While Marquette had a stellar season, the Golden Eagles did struggle defending the three-ball. MU ranked 14th in the BIG EAST and 204th nationally in 3-point field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot 32.3 percent from beyond the arc. DOUBLE-DOUBLE, TOIL AND TROUBLE Sophomore Sarina Simmons, who leads the squad with an average of 5.7 rebounds per game, has recorded a team-best four double-doubles this season. Simmons’ most recent double-double came against USF on Jan. 16. Simmons’ 40 blocks on the season are also a team-high. DIAPER DANDY While Marquette’s seniors certainly deserve credit for the team’s success, it’s hard to overlook the contributions of freshman Katherine Plouffe. A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Plouffe averaged 6.9 points per game and 5.2 rebounds per game. For her efforts, she was named to the BIG EAST All-Freshman team this season. A NOT-SO-FAMILIAR FOE Marquette’s first round matchup with No. 9 seed Texas will be just the second-ever meeting between the two schools. The Longhorns topped the Golden Eagles, 98-86, on Jan. 5, 1994 in Austin. i NOTABLE GOLDEN EAGLES Among Marquette’s notable alumni are the late Chris Farley (‘86) of Saturday Night Live fame.

Texas finished with a 3-11 mark, including a 3-8 mark against conference teams that were selected for the Big Dance.

TAKE TWO If the Longhorns can get past eighth-seeded Marquette in the first round of the tournament, it would set up a rematch of the Dec. 12 contest between Texas and Tennessee, in which both squads caught fire and combined for 169 points. The Lady Vols ultimately prevailed by a score of 92-77, but the Longhorn’s point total was the most Tennessee has given up to an opponent all season. Senior Angie Bjorklund led the way, scoring 20 points, all of which were in the first half. Freshman Meighan Simmons took over in the second half, tossing in 18 points as she returned to her home state of Texas. Tennessee shot 51 percent from the field in the first half and followed that up by shooting almost 43 percent after halftime. In all, five Lady Vols reached double figures in scoring, as Kamiko Williams had 14 points, Glory Johnson tossed in 13 and Shekinna Stricklen added 10. WINNING IN BUNCHES Over the course of this season, Texas has rattled off winning streaks of at least four games on three occasions. The Longhorns opened the 2010-11 campaign by winning their first four games against Miss. Valley State, Northwestern State, Boston University and Idaho State. After losing three of its next four games, Texas went on to notch six straight victories over the course of the Basketball Travelers Classic, the Maggie Dixon Surf `n Slam Championship and against Sam Houston State. Rebounding from four straight losses after the six-game win streak, Texas went on to win five in a row, all against conference opponents in Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Colorado, Kansas and Kansas State. The Longhorns would only win three more games the rest of the year, none of which were consecutive. IT’S A BLOCK PARTY In what could be a side contest if a potential rematch were to occur, both teams feature prolific shot
blockers that give the opposition fits. For Tennessee, redshirt junior Kelley Cain averaged 2.2 swats per game in her 28 contests played, ranking first in the SEC. The Atlanta, Ga., native had seven games with at least four blocks, including six at South Carolina on Jan. 20. Her total of 62 blocks on the season was 34 better than the next best on the team. Ashley Gayle of Texas has accumulated 113 blocks this season, setting a new Longhorn standard, breaking the old mark of 103. Gayle, who measures 6’4”, reached the record breaking number of 104 blocked shots with three games still remaining on the slate. AGE IS JUST A NUMBER The only way to know that Tennessee’s Meighan Simmons and Chassidy Fussell of the Longhorns are both freshman would be to look at their bios. Their play on the hardwood resembles nothing of a college freshman, as both are filling up the stat sheets. Simmons, named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, led all freshmen in the SEC in scoring by averaging 13.8 ppg, which ranks fifth overall in the league. Simmons also led the Lady Vols in assists, dishing out 2.8 per contest. For Fussell, she was the only true freshman to rank in the topthree in her class in scoring (17.8 ppg), steals (1.50 spg), free throw percentage (.859) and rebounding (4.8 rpg) in all 16 regular-season Big 12 contests. NOT IN OUR HOUSE (OR CITY) Entering the beginning of the 2010-11 campaign, both Tennessee and Texas have been houses of horrors for opponents to come into and walk out with a win over the years. The Lady Vols had the best all-tim winning percentage on their home floor at Thompson-Boling Arena at 94.2 percent. When the Orange and White played in the city of Knoxville, they won 91.6 percent of the time, also the best among women’s college basketball. Nothing changed this season as the Lady Vols won all 15 games played at “The Summitt.” For Texas, the Longhorns won 84.3 percent of the time in games played at the Frank Erwin Center prior to the 2010-11 campaign, which ranks seventh nationally. Austin proved to be the fifth toughest to play in, as the Longhorns have won 83.8 percent of games played within city limits. This season, Texas went 11-4 at home. DEFENSE PROVES TO BE THE DIFFERENCE The defense end of the court has been the biggest statistical difference in looking at Longhorn wins compared to losses. In its 19 wins, Texas has held opponents on average to 60.4 ppg. In 13 losses,
the Longhorns are giving up 80.4 ppg. Opponents are shooting .374 (448-1197) from the field in Texas wins, but the number skyrockets to a shooting percentage of .446 (395-886) when teams defeat Texas. The Longhorns have given up at least 70 points in 10 of their 13 losses. In wins, Texas averages a +7.7 rebounding margin in victories, but have been outrebounded in defeats.

Tennessee NCAA Tournament Game Notes • Mar. 19 & 21 • First/Second Rounds THESE SEEDS SENT UT HOME Tennessee has played in an incredible 127 games in the NCAA Tournament since 1982. Eight times the Lady Vols have brought home NCAA titles to Knoxville. On the 21 occasions when UT lost in the tournament, the number one seeded team provided the honors nine times. Before the disastrous 2009 season, the Lady Vols had never lost to a team seeded lower than #4 all-time in the tournament. Ball State, a #12-seed, dumped UT in 2009. The following seeds showed the Lady Vols the door in the tourney: #1 seed—1982, 1984, 1986, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 #2 seed—1983, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1993, 2004 #3 seed—1999 #4 seed—1992, 1994, 2001, 2010 #12 seed—2009 THE DAYTON REGIONAL BRACKET The Lady Vols have been placed in the Dayton Regional bracket of the NCAA Tournament in 2011 -- back in the day, that would have been considered the old Mideast Regional. Typically, the Lady Vols have been placed in the “Mideast Regional” and advanced to the Final Four 10 times -- in 1982, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1995, 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2007. In 2010, the Lady Vols were in the Memphis Regional (Mideast) bracket and in 2006 UT was in the Cleveland Regional. UT has been in the “Midwest” bracket of the NCAA Tournament four times. Tennessee has advanced to the Final Four from the Midwest every time: in 1997 (claiming the NCAA title in Cincinnati, Ohio), in 2002, (where the team lost to UConn in the Final Four semis in San Antonio), in 2004, (where the team lost to UConn in the NCAA title game in New Orleans) and in 2008, when the Lady Vols won the eighth title and back-to-back with a win over Stanford in the Championship game). In 2005, UT was placed in the Philadelphia Region (East) for the sixth time in 24 trips to the Big Dance. Tennessee advanced to the Final Four from the East in 1988 (finishing in 3rd in Tacoma, Washington), again in 1989 (winning UT’s second NCAA title while playing in Tacoma, Wash.), in 1996 (winning UT’s fourth NCAA title at the Final Four in Charlotte, N.C.) and 2005 (finishing third in Indianapolis at the Final Four. While advancing from the East produced two NCAA titles and two third place finishes, the East Regional is more remembered for what failed to occur for the Lady Vols. In 1990, the Lady Vols were sent to the East Regional at Old Dominion where two wins separated the Lady Vols from playing for a national championship on their home floor in Knoxville, site of the 1990 NCAA Final Four. UT got by Clemson, 80-62 in the Sweet 16 and then lost in overtime to Virginia, 79-75, failing to play in the NCAA Final Four in Knoxville. Instead of “Tennessee and the Final Three,” the Lady Vols served as hostesses for the event. Almost a decade later, the East Regional would serve up another dark day in Lady Vol hoops history. In 1999, UT was going for its fourth consecutive NCAA title after winning in 1996, 1997 and 1998. Current N.C. State head coach Kellie Jolly Harper was the Lady Vol point guard and her sidekick was four-time All-America Chamique Holdsclaw. The duo helped UT get by Virginia Tech, 68-52, in the Sweet 16 in Greensboro, N.C. However, Duke dashed Tennessee’s dream of a fourth consecutive title with a 69-63 win. It marked UT’s last trip to the East until 2005. In the 2009 NCAA First Round loss debacle, the Lady Vols were placed in the Berkeley Regional and it marked the very first time in the (then) 28 trips to the “Big Dance” that the Lady Vols were
sent to the “West.” FIRST TIME JITTERS In 2009, seven Lady Vols joined the roll call against Ball State earning their first playing time in the NCAA Tournament -- Briana Bass, Alyssia Brewer, Kelley Cain, Amber Gray, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning and Shekinna Stricklen. Unfortunately, that group had a rude awakening to postseason play with the upset loss to Ball State. The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores. Last season, UT entered the 2010 NCAA Tournament with just two rookies -- Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams. This year, two newbies -- Meighan Simmons and Lauren Avant -- will step on the big stage.
tallied 113 points against Appalachian St. for the then-fifth most scored points in an NCAA First or Second round. Before the 71-55 loss to Ball State in 2009, the Lady Vols closest game in the First Round was a five-point win over Iowa in 1986, 7368. Virginia held UT to just 65 points in 1985. The Lady Vols won the game 65-55. Tennessee’s First/Opening Round opponents through the years have included: Jackson St., South Carolina St., Middle Tennessee State, Virginia, Iowa, Tennessee Tech, North Carolina A&T, Florida A&M, Radford, Grambling, Liberty, Appalachian St., Furman, Austin Peay (twice), Georgia State, Alabama State, Colgate, Western Carolina, Army, Drake, Oral Roberts, Ball State and Stetson.
GRIZZLED VETS, TOO Tennessee’s 2008 NCAA title in Tampa, Fla., was witnessed by a foursome of current Lady Vols. Angie Bjorklund, Vicki Baugh and Sydney Smallbone all earned significant playing time as rookies in 2007-08 en route to NCAA title number eight. Classmate Kelley Cain was sidelined that season following surgery at the start of the year but was on the bench when UT grabbed the crown. Now Bjorklund and Smallbone are the lone seniors in 2011 while Baugh and Cain are both redshirt juniors.
OPENING ROUNDS BIG POINTS The Lady Vols turned in their highest point total ever in the NCAA Tournament scoring 113 versus Appalachian State in First Round action on Mar. 13, 1999. Other century marks include 111 points against North Carolina A&T on Mar.16, 1994, 102 points against Liberty on Mar. 14, 1998 and 102 points versus Army on Mar. 19, 2006 -- all in NCAA opening round play. UT’s 113 points against ASU was the fifth most ever scored in NCAA First/Second Round action.
HOSTING IN KNOXVILLE Including the 2011 NCAA Tournament stop in Knoxville, Tenn., the Lady Vols have now hosted 25 First/Second Round games and the Mideast Regionals six times.
OUTTA KNOXVILLE JUST FIVE TIMES IN MARCH In the 2004 NCAA Tournament, for the first time in postseason play, the Tennessee Lady Vols did not play a post-season play-off game in Knoxville. The Lady Vols started the tournament in Tallahassee that year. In 2006, the Lady Vols traveled to Norfolk for the NCAA First/Second Rounds. In 2007, UT headed to Pittsburgh for the 2007 NCAA First/Second Rounds. In 2008, UT traveled to West Lafayette, Ind., and then to Oklahoma City, Okla. , for Regional play. In 2009, the Lady Vols were on the road for NCAA play traveling to Bowling Green, Kentucky for the First Round. Prior to 2004, Tennessee had won 46 consecutive NCAA play-off games at home since 1982 (34-0 in NCAA First/Second Rounds and 12-0 in six NCAA Mideast Regionals hosted in Knoxville). When you add in the AIAW years, Tennessee won 52 consecutive (since Mar. 15, 1980) post-season AIAW/NCAA games at home. Overall, UT has won 56 out of 57 games in Knoxville since Mar. 10, 1979. UT’s only loss in postseason play at home was a 74-72 AIAW Region II defeat to Old Dominion on Mar. 10, 1979. That year, the winner of the Region II Tournament was given the higher seed in the AIAW Regional Championship Tournament (Sweet 16) while the loser was sent to a tougher regional bracket. As the Region II winner, Old Dominion traveled to Tennessee Tech for the AIAW South Regional while Tennessee earned a trip to the Bronx, N.Y. (Fordham Univ.) for the East Regional. Both ODU and Tennessee advanced to the AIAW “Final Four” in Greensboro, N.C. that year. After playing hostess for so many years in Knoxville, the Lady Vols have started to have its share of games on home courts. In 2007, UT had to defeat host Pittsburgh on its home court to advance to the Dayton Regional. In 2008, UT had to get by Purdue on its home floor to advance to Oklahoma City.
OVER 100 NCAA TOURNAMENT WINS The Tennessee Lady Vols and coach Pat Summitt reached an incredible milestone in the 2008 NCAA Tournament -- 100 victories. The win over Purdue in the 2008 NCAA Second Round was number 100 for UT. It’s amazing to imagine that onetenth of Summitt’s 1,000-plus career victories have come in the NCAA tourney.

UT did make an appearance at the 2000 NCAA Final Four in Philadelphia, Pa., and lost to the Connecticut Huskies for the title. UT returned to the 2007 Final Four and captured an unprecedented seventh NCAA title and followed that up with an 18th trip to the Final Four and the eighth NCAA Championship in 2008. In 2009, the closest the Lady Vols got to the Final Four was via their cable signal watching on ESPN. In 2010, UT bowed out in the Sweet 16.

SHE LIKED THIS COMBO After tinkering with six starting line-ups in the first 13 games, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt settled into the longest tenured starting five of the season in Meighan Simmons, Angie Bjorklund, Taber Spani, Shekinna Stricklen and Kelley Cain. This quintet started and won eight games together. Their starting act broke up for Mississippi State when Bjorklund was sidelined with a sprained right foot and Cain fell ill on game day.

The Wooden Award Men’s and Women’s All American Teams will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round during the NCAA Tournament, making it unique among college postseason awards. Voters have until Monday, March 28 at Noon PDT to return their ballots. Stricklen was named the SEC Player of the Year by the league’s coaches this season and captured the SEC Tournament MVP. The Morrilton, Ark., native averaged 16.0 ppg and 5.0 rpg while leading the Lady Vols to the conference tourney championship from March 4-6 in Nashville, Tenn. For the season she has 10 double-doubles and is averaging 12.6 ppg and 7.5 rpg. UT ROOKIE POINT GUARDS STEP-UP IN NCAAs Lady Vol rookie Meighan Simmons was handed the point guard reins to the team in early December in order that junior do-it-all Shekinna Stricklen could move to a more natural forward spot. Simmons hasn’t disappointed leading UT in scoring from start to finish. She isn’t the first Lady Vol point guard expected to step up in the NCAA Tournament. Tonya Edwards (now head coach at Alcorn State) was the freshman point guard and Final Four MVP on Tennessee’s first NCAA title team in 1987—she led three UT players with 13 points each in the title game. Following her, Dena Head was a freshman point guard pressed into service as a starter in 1989 after two-year starting point guard Edwards blew out her knee (torn ACL)

She cited the contributions of 11 players (Kelley Cain was sidelined and did not play). UT outscored Georgia by 33 points and grabbed 16 more rebounds than the Lady Bulldogs. GLORY JOINED 1000 POINT CLUB Lady Vol junior Glory Johnson became the 36th Lady Vol to score 1,000 career points on a free throw at the 13:26 mark in the second half of the game versus Georgia on Feb. 21.

LADY VOL BASKETBALL • EIGHT-TIME NCAA CHAMPIONS (1987-89-91-96-97-98-2007-08)
Tennessee NCAA Tournament Game Notes • Mar. 19 & 21 • First/Second Rounds Bjorklund made the short list for women’s hoops. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. The finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 60 candidates announced in November. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to determine the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote via the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award website or on the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award Facebook fan page through March 20. Fan votes will be combined with media and coaches votes to determine the winner. 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award Finalists: Erin Anthony, F, Army, Angie Bjorklund, G, Tennessee, Dawn Evans, G, James Madison, Amber Harris, F, Xavier, Maya Moore, F, Connecticut, Kayla Pedersen, F, Stanford, Sam Quigley, G, DePaul, Liz Repella, G, West Virginia, Danielle Robinson, G, Oklahoma and Jasmine Thomas, G, Duke. FACING FORMER LADY VOLS Tennessee Coach Pat Summitt faced a number of former Lady Vol players and staffers in the coaching ranks on the opposing sidelines this season: Nikki McCray (South Carolina), Carla McGhee (Auburn), Angel Elderkin (Virginia), and Matthew Mitchell, Kyra Elzy and Shalon Pillow (Kentucky). FREE THROW DEFENSE -- SOME HOPE UT has been pretty bad from the charity stripe this season but turned the corner just a bit in the New Year. Tennessee connected on a season high 83.8 percent against Alabama (31-37) after connecting on 82.6 percent (19-23) from the charity strip at LSU. In Baton Rouge, UT hit 13 in a row before missing with 5:36 left in the game. Typically this season, free throws have felt like turnovers for some of the Lady Vols. UT has moved up to 211th in the nation after sinking to a dismal 310th out of 333 teams from the charity stripe to start the season. BJORKLUND BROKE IT Tennessee senior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund climbed into sole possession of first place on the Lady Vol all-time three-point career charts. She passed Shanna Zolman’s 266 mark set from 2003-06. Kara Lawson in now in third place with 256 career treys. TAKING PRIDE IN BOARD PLAY Coach Pat Summitt’s mantra of defense and boards has been a staple of her nearly four decades of coaching. The Lady Vols have produced solid board play outrebounding 30 of 33 opponents: Chattanooga, 49-31, Louisville, 53-29, narrowly eeking by Virginia, 35-34, Arizona State, 45-36, Missouri, 36-33, Georgetown, 45-27, Lamar, 54-40, ODU, 39-33, Texas, 43-37, Baylor, 53-43, Stanford 4338, ETSU, 53-34, Rutgers, 46-27, LSU, 42-31, Alabama, 54-49, Ole Miss, 53-31, Florida, 57-37, Vanderbilt, 52-39 and South Carolina, 51-31, Auburn 49-34, Mississippi State, 51-34, Arkansas, 42-23, Kentucky, 45-23, Florida, 42-40, Vanderbilt, 41-37 South Carolina, 51-30, Georgia, 49-33, Ole Miss, 43-15 and Florida3, 40-32, and Georgia2, 4139. UT tied LSU2 at 43-all. Only Kentucky2 (46-41) and Georgia Tech (37-36) have outrebounded UT in 2010-11. Last season, in 35 games, Tennessee was outrebounded only twice -- by Stanford, 44-34 and at Alabama by a whopping 45-33 margin. This season, the Lady Vols hold an +11.9 rebounding advantage. LADY VOL STREAKS The Lady Vols last loss at home was against Duke, 62-54, on Feb. 16, 2009, since then UT has won 34 home games. The last time UT lost on the road was on Dec. 14, 2010 at Baylor, since then,
UT has won eight road games. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against #13/12 Georgetown, 69-58, on Nov. 27, 2010. Since that time, UT has won three games on a neutral court. LADY VOLS ON TV--NO SECRETS In 2010-11, 25 of 30 Lady Vol regular season games were on television this season airing on ESPN (1 game), ESPN2 (4 games), ESPNU (2 games), FSN/FOX Sports and SportSouth (9), Comcast (7), SEC Network (2) and CBS College Sports (1). Postseason TV games include: SEC Tournament (FSS, ESPNU, ESPN2) and the NCAA Tournament (ESPN2). UT is 28-1 on TV in 2010-11. Last season, the Lady Vols were 30-3 on TV. In the 2007-08 season, UT had a school record 36 television appearances. 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 Summitt.” The floor had a complete overhaul with permanent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols painted directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted orange with “SEC” reversed out; the giant jump circle/ mid-court TENNESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s actual signature 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 339-20 (.942) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 23-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10 flawless home records in 1988-89 (15-0), 1991-92 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (150), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 2000-01 (15-0), 2002-03 (16-0) and 2009-10 (17-0). UT also registered a former NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996. JUST 20 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 20 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 10 teams: Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Georgia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stanford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

RAINING THREES Release. Rotation. Swish. The Lady Vols have had a lot of great shooters since Pat Summitt took over the program 36 years ago. Angie Bjorklund ranks right with the best. A 6-0 wing with unlimited range, Bjorklund became the next in a line of prolific three-point shooters to don the Orange and White – following in the footsteps of players like Shanna Zolman, Kara Lawson, Sidney Spencer and Tiffany Woosley. Bjorklund became the Tennessee career leader in three-pointers on Dec. 30 versus Rutgers when she made her 267th three at the 18:34 mark in the first half to surpass Zolman’s old mark of 266. Bjorklund’s career-leading total has now reached 300 treys. She also ranks first in threepoint field goals attempted with 726 and third in three-point shooting percentage at .413.

LADY VOL BASKETBALL • EIGHT-TIME NCAA CHAMPIONS (1987-89-91-96-97-98-2007-08)
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES SENIORS SALUTED In the final regular season home game versus LSU on Feb. 27, 2011, Lady Vol seniors Angie Bjorklund and Sydney Smallbone were saluted. Over the past four years, they have accumulated an overall record of 120 wins and just 18 losses – an 87 percent winning percentage. Against SEC opponents, they have an outstanding 54-7 record! The seniors have made one trip to the NCAA Final Four…winning the 2008 Championship! They have also captured two SEC regular season crowns and two SEC Tournament titles. DAD IN THE HOUSE Sophomore Kamiko Williams got a surprise at the LSU game on Feb. 27 in Knoxville. When the team returned to the floor from halftime, Williams’ mom, Angelita, and little brother Keynante, got Kamiko’s attention and pointed the guy standing next to them. It was her dad Vincent who surprised the family with a 15-day leave. Master Sergeant Williams has been serving with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. FROM THE TRAINING ROOM Lady Vol rookie Lauren Avant suffered a concussion in the Ole Miss game and did not play versus LSU on Feb. 27. Kelley Cain missed the Georgia, Ole Miss and LSU games last week getting some rest for her hip/back. Cain returned to the practice floor on Mar. 1 and will be a full go at the SEC Tournament. Avant passed her concussion protocol test on Mar. 3 and was cleared to play. ACADEMIC SUCCESS TOO Senior Angie Bjorklund was named to the 2010-11 Capital One Academic All-America® Women’s Basketball second team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Feb. 24. Bjorklund is a repeat selection as an Academic All-America® in the University Division – last season she was named to the first team. She is the fourth Lady Vol to capture Academic All-America honors twice, joining Candace Parker (first team 2008, second team 2007), Tanya Haave (first team 1984, second team 1983) and Jill Rankin (first team 1980, second team 1979) A LADY VOL FIRST Over the years, the Lady Vols have experienced some interesting occurrences over the course of 1,262 games under Coach Pat Summitt. Dive-bombing yellow jackets and birds, playing on a linoleum floor, playing outside in a baseball stadium in December...but never has a game been called due to rain. Such was the case at the Tad Smith Coliseum at Ole Miss on Feb. 24. Winds in excess of 50-mph caused sideways blowing rain to enter roof vents above the court which then cascaded down to the playing floor with 5:24 to go in the game and the Lady Vols leading 6639. SEC league officials and both coaches were consulted before the game was called. THROWBACK 21 IN THE HOUSE After Lady Vol junior Vicki Baugh tied season bests with nine points and seven rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench against Georgia, she came back with an even better effort at Ole Miss. Baugh scored seven straight Tennessee points over a twominute span, making a pair of free throws at the 12-minute mark in the second half before hitting a jumper and completing a three-point play with 9:55 left in the game. On the night, she scored a season-best 12 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the field and 4-of-5 makes at the line to go along with five boards. Her 12 points was just one off of her career high. Against the Lady Bulldogs, she also had a season-best three blocks and made all four of her field goal attempts. Baugh’s game resembled her freshman campaign of 2007-08 -- fluid and effortless. Tennessee fans gave her a standing ovation after her play at the 13:06 mark in the second half. Baugh ripped down a defensive rebound and raced down the court, weaving in-and-out of defenders, before making a layup to complete the coast-to-coast play. HOLDING COURT After missing the six previous games, senior Angie Bjorklund checked in at the Georgia game at the 13:38 mark in the first half and played in her first game since Jan. 23 at Auburn. Bjorklund scored three points, grabbed two boards and logged an assist, a blocked shot and a steal in 11 minutes. Her only bucket was a trey, stretching her Lady Vol record to 284 three-pointers made for her career. SIMMONS NAMED TO NAISMITH LIST UT rookie Meighan Simmons also joined senior Angie Bjorklund on the 2010-11 Naismith Award Midseason List announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club on Feb. 14. Simmons was the only freshman selected for the 30-player list. Bjorklund was named to the preseason list for the award, which will be given to the nation’s top player on April 4 at the NCAA Women’s Final Four in Indianapolis, while Simmons was added for the midseason list. BAUGH EARNED A NOD Redshirt junior Vicki Baugh picked up a starting assignment against Vanderbilt on Feb. 13. It marked her first start since Dec. 30, 2008, when she scored 12 points and had 15 rebounds at Gonzaga. It was the 11th start of her career.
HOLY SMOKES BATMAN Tennessee blasted out the blocks in SEC play this season. Through 16 regular season games, the Lady Vols have rejected 98 shots for a ridiculous 6.3 bpg average. UT’s opponents shot just 31% from the field and 26% from the three point line. WELCOME BACK STRANGER Junior Alyssia Brewer joined the starting carousel versus the Gamecocks, it was her first start since March 27, 2010 – Tennessee’s Sweet 16 loss to Baylor to end the 2009-10 season. She started the final seven games of the 2009-10 season after picking up SEC Sixth Player of the Year and 2010 SEC Tournament MVP honors. It marked the 14th start of her career. Slowly returning from Achilles tendon surgery, Brewer came into the game with a season high of five points at Vanderbilt on Feb. 13, but against USC she made her first two baskets, her first three free throws and had seven points by the 14:55 mark after converting both parts of an And-1 layup to put the Lady Vols ahead, 11-7. On the night she grabbed 10 rebounds, blocked two shots and scored seven points in 17 minutes.
A-TOWN WAS IN THE HOUSE Junior Alicia Manning put on quite the show versus South Carolina on Feb. 17. After missing her previous four three-point attempts in 2010-11, she rocked and rolled against USC. Manning scored a career-best 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting. She made her first three three-pointers, tying a career high in treys. She also grabbed five boards and made three steals. BOOTLESS Lady Vol senior Angie Bjorklund was battling a right foot sprain and wearing a protective walking boot since Jan. 24. Much to Bjorklund’s and Coach Pat Summitt’s delight, the boot came off on Feb. 14 after the senior missed games versus Mississippi St., at Arkansas, at Kentucky, vs. Florida and at Vanderbilt. Bjorklund was back on the practice floor for some light work but did not play versus South Carolina on Feb. 17. ADVANCE SELLOUTS The week leading up to the Vanderbilt game, Commodore officials notified the media that the game was a sellout. Actual attendance for the game was a little over 3,000 short of the capacity mark. Had it been a truly advanced sold-out game, it would have marked the Lady Vols third game of an advance sellout this season. Previously, an over-capacity, all-time high crowd of 10,569 in Waco, Texas, watched Baylor knock-off UT, 65-54. In the season opener, an over capacity pre sold-out crowd of 22,124 in the firs-ever game at the brand new KFC Yum! Center saw the Lady Vols beat Louisville, 63-50. Last season, the Lady Vols played in two games which were announced as advance sellouts at Virginia and Middle Tennessee State. Overall, UT has played in front of crowds of more than 10,000 fans in 16 games in 2010-11. In 2007-08, Tennessee’s NCAA Championship marquee value helped in attracting five advance sellouts on the road. WENT BACKWARDS AT VANDY FOR AWHILE Tennessee’s opening 20 minutes at Vanderbilt on Feb. 17 were not exactly stellar. UT trailed by 13 at halftime, 28-15, tying its largest halftime deficit of the season – 13 at Baylor on Dec. 14. UT’s 15 points were its third lowest first half output all-time and the lowest this season. UT’s halftime shooting percentage of 20 percent (5-of-25) was also a season-low. WE FINALLY GOT ON TRACK VS. VU In a 32-second second half span, freshman guard Lauren Avant scored six straight points for the Lady Vols. She made an And-1 layup at the 8:05 mark in the second frame and swished a three-pointer 32 seconds later to pull UT within a point, 42-41. Avant scored a career-high 11 points – all in the second half, and added a career-best four steals. She made 2-of-3 shots and 5-of-9 free throws. She played 17 minutes in the second half, and a career-best 20 minutes for the game. Fellow rookie Meighan Simmons’ three-pointer with 5:54 left in the game gave UT a 44-42 advantage - its first lead since being up 5-2 at the 16:01 mark in the first half. The rookies got some support from junior Lyssi Brewer in the final 20 minutes. Brewer’s key plays of the game were scoring on a layup and then poking the ball away from VU’s Jence Rhoads right to Simmons who found Brewer for the fastbreak score to put UT up 55-49 with 2:30 left in the game. Brewer scored a season-best five points on 2-of-3 shooting. She added three boards and a block. She played nine minutes in the second half. WITHOUT ANGIE B Senior Angie Bjorklund has been out of action since Jan. 24 (six games) battling a right foot sprain. Without UT’s scoring guard, the Lady Vols are averaging 10.1 points fewer per game, 80.5 to 70.4; giving up 1.2 points fewer on defense, 55.4-54.2 and grabbing three fewer rebounds per game. Obviously, with 10.1 fewer points per game, the Lady Vols haven’t stepped up to cover the 11.3 ppg Bjorklund contributed as a starter. SOME GOOD NEWS Angie Bjorklund’s lack of 11.3 ppg haven’t all been covered during her time on the sidelines but a few players have stepped up in her absence. In the last six games, junior
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES Shekinna Stricklen has been a “go-to” for the Lady Vols averaging 16.5 ppg (+5.4 higher than with Bjorklund). Fellow junior Glory Johnson has contributed 13.2 ppg and 11.0 rpg over the six game span as compared to (10.7 ppg and 9.0 rpg with Angie B). Conversely, rookie Meighan Simmons went from 15.6 ppg with Bjorklund to 9.5 ppg without her. WELCOME TO SEC HOOPS, ROOKIE It happens to all of them eventually...rookies hitting a little wall in the midst of SEC play. UT rookie Meighan Simmons has been experiencing such days of late. Florida saw her hit just 1 of 6 from the floor and score four points. She had a semi bounce-back game at Kentucky -- she had nine miscues but bounced back with 15 points, four rebounds, four assists, a key three-pointer and “icing on the cake” free throws with 15 ticks left to secure the win. Simmons had a tough day in the previous game at Arkansas going “0-fer” in the win over the Razorbacks. In a previous dip, she had back-to-back games of seven and nine points against Rutgers and at LSU but kicked it back into high gear and averaged 16.3 ppg over the next five games. She dipped a little at Auburn with five points and then came back with a dozen against Mississippi State before the goose egg at Arkansas. The good news? She has picked up in assists during this stretch averaging four helpers a game. GLORY, GLORY TO MS. JOHNSON Inserted back into the starting lineup for the first time in a month, Lady Vol junior forward Glory Johnson responded with two of the best performances of her Tennessee career. For her efforts, she was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 31. Johnson averaged 17.0 ppg, 16.0 rpg, 4.0 apg, 2.0 bpg and 1.5 spg, while playing 31.5 mpg in victories over Mississippi State and at Arkansas. Against Mississippi State on Jan. 27, the 6-3 junior from Knoxville posted career bests in points (22), assists (seven) and blocks (four), and tied her best performance in rebounds (18) in the 81-55 win. Following her phenomenal game against the Lady Bulldogs, Johnson recorded her third consecutive double double and seventh of the season in the 72-53 victory at Arkansas. She finished with 12 points, 14 boards and three steals with two of her thefts coming when the Razorbacks had cut the Lady Vol lead to single digits. BRAINS AND BASKETBALL Three Lady Vols were selected to the District 4 Capital One Academic All-District basketball team as selected by CoSIDA on Feb. 3. Senior guard Angie Bjorklund captured Academic All-District First Team honors for the second consecutive year, while junior forward Glory Johnson and sophomore guard/forward Taber Spani were named to the Academic AllDistrict Second Team. Nominees for the All-District teams had to be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 3.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at her current institution and be nominated by her sports information director. Bjorklund was named as one of just five CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team honorees in 2009-10, and also earned Academic All-District Second Team laurels in 2008-09. She has a 3.63 GPA and is majoring in psychology. By earning All-District First Team honors, Bjorklund is eligible to be named to the Capital One Academic All-America Team for a second time later this month. Johnson and Spani earned their first CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District honors. M*A*S*H UNIT The Lady Vols made the most of their bye week (Jan. 31 to Feb. 6). Several players were dealing with nagging injuries (Angie Bjorklund, foot sprain; Kamiko Williams, concussion; Taber Spani, maintenance days) or illness (Kelley Cain, Lauren Avant) at the time and had an opportunity to rest and rehab. The 7-day break in SEC games is the first for Tennes-
see since the 2001-02 season when UT had seven days between games Jan. 20-27, 2002.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THE UK GAME Tennessee’s six-point win over Kentucky, 73-67, was UT’s smallest margin in a win this season. The Lady Vols shot a season high 55.8 percent from the field...This included knocking down 61.5 percent of second half shots (16-26)...The Lady Vols had an “asleep at the wheel” moment at the charity stripe with just 60.0 (12-20) made tosses...Tennessee’s lowest mark in an SEC game this season...The good news was that all four charity tosses were made in the critical last 20 seconds of play...UT was beastly on the boards grabbing 45 rebounds to UK’s 23...This included limiting the Cats to just seven offensive rebounds for the game (10 below their SEC average for offensive rebounds)...Kentucky managed to score the most points of any SEC opponent this season against the Lady Vols -- 67 and shot the best of any SEC team from the field 40.3 percent (25-62)... SHEKINNA’S HOMECOMING LOVE When Tennessee traveled to play at Arkansas on Jan. 30, Lady Vol Shekinna Stricklen had a large cheering section from her hometown in Morrilton, Ark., a mere 124 miles away from Fayetteville. Stricklen didn’t disappoint her followers by tying a career-best with 26 points and 10 field goals, making a career-best six three-pointers. She made 10-of-15 shots and 6-of-9 treys in front of the home folks.
BIRTHDAY WEEK The week of Jan. 24-30 was birthday week for the Lady Vols. Sophomore Taber Spani celebrated her 20th birthday with 18 points against Mississippi State on Jan. 27. Mom and Dad (Stacey and Gary) Spani made the trip from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, went home and coached a Home School game and were back in Arkansas to watch Taber play and score another 18 points. Rookie Meighan Simmons turned 19 on Tues., Jan. 25 -- a day off for the team.
MISSISSIPPI STATE REMAINS “0-FER” Tennessee upped its record to 32-0 over Mississippi State with the 81-55 victory on Jan. 27 in Knoxville The win marked the 35th consecutive time a Lady Vol team has won 20 games in a season and the second fastest Lady Vol team all-time to claim the 20 win mark. UT went into the game against Mississippi State minus three players – including two starters -- senior Angie Bjorklund (11.3 ppg and 3.1 rpg) dealing with a right foot sprain and is listed as day-to-day and starting teammate Kelley Cain (8.3 ppg and 6.8 rpg) who fell ill on gameday. Reserve Lauren Avant (1.9 ppg, 1.1 rpg) was also held out due to illness. UT trailed 37-35 at the half (just the third time trailing at the break this season). It marked the Lady Vols 30th consecutive home game win – the fourth-longest streak in Lady Vol history and currently the fourth longest active streak in the NCAA. In the win, Tennessee held its 10th straight opponent below 40 percent shooting from the field (State was 35.5%) and allowed Mississippi State just 18 second half points – the lowest second-half total by an opponent this season. In the win, junior Glory Johnson had the best game of her career, tallying career bests in points (22), assists (seven) and blocks (four) and tied a career best with 18 boards. It was her sixth double-double of the season and 16th of her career. In eight SEC games, she is now averaging UT bests of 15.0 ppg and 10.3 rpg while shooting 57 percent from the field. Just two minutes into the second half, Johnson already had five assists and three blocks to go along with 10 points and 14 boards. ANOTHER 20 WIN SEASON The Tennessee Lady Vols claimed yet another 20-win season. With a victory over Mississippi State, it marked the 35th consecutive time a Lady Vol team reached at least 20 wins in a season under Coach Pat Summitt. By picking up win #20 against the Lady Bulldogs on Jan. 27, it tied the second fastest Summitt team to attain at least 20 wins. Tennessee joined Duke (20-0) and DePaul (20-2) as the first 20-game winners of 2010-11.

Tennessee’s Pat Summitt has only had two teams fail to reach 20-win seasons during her 37-year tenure. In her first and second seasons (1974-75 and 1975-76) at UT, the Lady Vols were 16-8 and 16-11. WE ALL MADE THE BOX SCORE All 13 Lady Vols appeared in the box score against Auburn. Notables were redshirt junior Vicki Baugh who scored a season-best nine points on 3-for-4 shooting in seven secondhalf minutes. It’s the most points Baugh has scored since Feb. 3, 2009, when she tore her ACL (again) against Oklahoma. Junior Alyssia Brewer got her most extensive action of the season, logging nine minutes and grabbing three boards. It was her first game since the LSU game on Jan. 2.
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES GLORY OFF THE BENCH Tennessee junior Glory Johnson went from being a Lady Vol starter to a sixth player beginning with the game versus Rutgers. Until the win over South Carolina, she had been leading Tennessee in scoring at 14.3 ppg and rebounding at 9.0 rpg but dropped to 13.4 ppg and 8.6 rpg with just an eight point and six rebound night at USC. Overall, as a team during that stretch, UT had five more players in averaging over 9.0 ppg -- starters Meighan Simmons 13.7 ppg, 3.5 apg, Taber Spani 9.1 ppg, Shekinna Stricklen 11.1 ppg and 8.6 rpg, Angie Bjorklund 10.1 ppg and Kelley Cain with 9.4 ppg and 9.0 rpg. WE WERE A STINK BOMB AT CAROLINA The Lady Vols weren’t exactly world beaters at South Carolina. On the road in the SEC for the third time, Tennessee was pretty bad in Columbia. The Gamecocks rolled out to a 12-4 eight point lead at the 16:06 mark. By 9:22 on the first half clock, UT managed its first advantage of the game, 15-12, after an 11-0 run. The lead see-sawed before Angie Bjorklund nailed a deep trey at the buzzer to give UT a 33-26 advantage at the half. Most disturbing to Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt? The shorter Carolina squad matched UT in the paint, 18-18...scored 14 points off of UT miscues and had 13 fastbreak points to nada for the Lady Vols. Basically beating Tennessee at its own game. UT righted the ship in the second half to the win but still with struggles. The Orange led 20-18 in the paint in the second stanza and just 38-36 for the game. Carolina’s quick guards turned UT over in the second half as well and on the night produced 25 points off of 24 Lady Vol miscues. COOLED OUR JETS, TOO Before Vanderbilt rolled into Knoxville on Jan. 15, the Lady Vols had been crushing the SEC opposition. Well they still are but the Commodores held UT to its fewest points in a SEC contest this season with 68 and aided in a heinous 40.3 shooting percentage from the field for the Lady Vols.
ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY -- A SUCCESS The Tennessee Lady Vols added another notation to its unparalleled history, when ESPN’s College GameDay Driven by State Farm® series’ first-ever doubleheader was deemed “an incredible success” on Jan 15, 2011, in Knoxville. It marked the first time the show originated from a site that featured a men’s and women’s game played in the same day and kicked off ESPN’s eight-week GameDay slate. The Lady Vols took the p.m. nightcap over Vanderbilt 68-56 after the men’s come-from-behind victory over Vandy in the noon game. College GameDay telecasted a two-hour morning show from Thompson-Boling and came back for a one-hour evening show, 7-8 p.m. before the Lady Vols tipped off. ATTEMPT THIS CROWDED HOUSE! Tennessee’s combined attendance of 39,051 from the men’s and women’s quasi doubleheader versus Vanderbilt on Jan. 15 is believed to be a record for an on-campus men’s and women’s college basketball doubleheader. The Vols drew 21,198 fans for their noon game with the Commodores and the Lady Vols welcomed 17,853 folks to their game at 8 p.m. vs. the Commodores. For the Lady Vols, it was their largest crowd of the season and the largest crowd for a Lady Vols game at Thompson-Boling Arena since 20,249 watched Tennessee defeat Mississippi State, 72-46, on Feb. 24, 2008. JAILBREAK DEFENSE IN THE SWAMP Tennessee’s first half defense at Florida was in total jail break mode. The Lady Vols held the Gators to an ugly display of 6 of 30 from the field (.200) and allowed just two baskets from the Florida starting five in the first 20 minutes of play en route to a 47-15 first half lead. CONGRATS TO BJORKLUND Senior guard Angie Bjorklund has made the cut to the final 20 of the John Wooden Award. It was announced on Jan. 11, 2011 by The Los Angeles Athletic Club. The list is comprised of 20 student-athletes who, based on last year’s individual performance and team records, are the current frontrunners for college basketball’s most prestigious honor. The John R. Wooden Award All American Team will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round during the NCAA Tournament, making it unique among college postseason awards.
UT MAKES A POINT OVER BAMA Tennessee scored 110 points in the SEC home opener win over Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. It was the most points scored by the Lady Vols since they dropped 136 against Puerto Rico Mayaquez on Nov. 29, 2002. It’s also the most points scored against an SEC opponent since scoring 119 against Ole Miss on Feb. 8, 2001. SIMMONS IS QUITE THE DISH Lady Vol rookie guard Meighan Simmons has been pretty impressive as Tennessee’s leading scorer this season. The savvy rookie bumped up her young resume dishing out 11 assists against Alabama, a Lady Vol freshman record. She became the 10th Lady Vol ever to record a points and assists double-double and the first rookie to do so. DID YOU KNOW SUMMITT WAS A “STAR” Coach Pat Summitt was the first person honored with a star on the new Riverwalk of Fame during a ceremony on Knoxville’s Volunteer Landing on Jan. 5. The Riverwalk of Fame - which will stretch along Volunteer Landing - will honor people from Knoxville and the surrounding area who have made a great mark nationally or internationally and in doing so, brought honor to East Tennessee. The honorees can range from writers, musicians, actors, athletes and coaches to scientists, astronauts, statesmen and others of note. Tennes-
see governor elect and outgoing Mayor Bill Haslam made the announcement that Summitt would honored after she won her 1,000th game as the Lady Volunteers coach last February. Each person on the Riverwalk will be honored with a large star that will include their name as well as a small, but significant, symbol of what that person did that made a difference in people’s lives. In Summitt’s case it will be a basketball. “We’re all proud of Pat Summitt and always happy to have an opportunity to let her know how much she means to us,” Haslam said. “She’s a great choice to be the person honored with this first star on the Riverwalk.” GLORY DOES IT AGAIN -- OFF THE BENCH Lady Vol junior forward Glory Johnson captured her second SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week award of the season on Jan. 3. In her first two games off the bench this season, Johnson responded by tallying averages of 15.5 ppg, 12.0 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.0 bpg and 1.5 spg, while leading No. 5/6 Tennessee to wins over Rutgers (87-51) and LSU (73-65) last week. The Knoxville, Tenn., native nailed 58.8 percent of her field goals and 73.3 percent of her charity tosses. She had 12 points and nine rebounds in just 19 minutes against the Scarlet Knights on Thursday, Dec. 30, at Thompson-Boling Arena. She lived at the free throw line, making 8 of 12 attempts, and also locked down her defensive assignments. Against the Tigers in Baton Rouge, La., on Jan. 2, Johnson was dominant from the time she entered the game and scored a season-best 19 points while collecting 15 rebounds.
422 GAMES WITH A TRIPLE -- SNAPPED AT LSU Against LSU on Jan. 2, 2011 the Lady Vols failed to make a three-pointer (going 0-7) and had their consecutive three-pointer record snapped at 422 consecutive games. Previously, the last time UT did not make at least one three was Jan. 21, 1999, at Florida. UT won that game 77-64. ROOKIE OF THE WEEK AGAIN Rookie guard Meighan Simmons captured the SEC Freshman of the Week award for the second time this season on Dec. 20. Simmons tallied back-to-back 20-point games over a pair of top-five opponents this past week, as sixth-ranked Tennessee split against No. 2/3 Baylor and No. 3/2 Stanford. The 5-9 guard from Cibolo, Texas, scored 22 points and grabbed five boards in a 65-54 loss to the Lady Bears in Waco, Texas, and then poured in 23 points against the No. 3/2 Stanford Cardinal, as UT captured an 82-72 overtime victory on Dec. 19. Simmons sent the game to overtime with a three-pointer that knotted the contest at 70-70 with 48 seconds left in regulation. In the extra period, Simmons scored four points and forced two Stanford turnovers. SEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK Rookie Lady Vol guard Meighan Simmons captured the Southeastern Conference Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week award on Dec. 6. Simmons had another dazzling week from Nov. 29 – Dec. 5, leading Tennessee to a 99-55 victory over Lamar on Wednesday in Knoxville, Tenn. and a 74-44 triumph against Old Dominion on Sunday in Norfolk, Va. In her first game starting at point guard, she scored a career-high 28 points, including a UT single-game record eight three-pointers, and dished a career-best five assists versus Lamar. Her 28-point explosion ranks as the sixth highest total ever by a Lady Vol freshman. The Cibolo, Texas, native followed that performance by pouring in 14 points and dishing a team-high four assists in the rout of Old Dominion.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE From 1980-1997, the Lady Vols claimed a total of six SEC regular season titles in 17 years. From 1998-2004, Tennessee captured seven consecutive SEC regular season crowns producing an amazing 109-4 record. UT’s only league losses were to Vandy, Georgia and LSU (twice) during this stretch. EIGHT WAS GREAT Over the years, eight Lady Vols teams have gone undefeated in SEC play: 1993, ‘94, ‘95, ‘98, 2001, ‘03, ‘04 and ‘07. FAST STARTS FOR LADY VOL ROOKIES Tennessee has enjoyed a tremendous tradition of some great Lady Vol rookies. Current frosh Meighan Simmons joined that elite group by registering double-figure scoring in her first 13 games. She was on pace to tie Chamique Holdsclaw’s rookie record by reaching double figure scoring in her first 14 games at UT. Simmons fell short in her 14th game versus Rutgers scoring just seven points in 13 minutes after getting into foul trouble in the first half. Candace Parker started her career by reaching double figures in her first nine games, while Glory Johnson accomplished the feat in her first 10 collegiate contests. Consecutive Double-Digit Scoring Performances to Begin UT Freshman Season (Since 1980-81): Chamique Holdsclaw 1995-96 14 Meighan Simmons 2010-11 13 Glory Johnson 2008-09 10 Candace Parker 2005-06 9 Dana Johnson 1991-92 6 Tamika Catchings 1997-98 5 LADY VOL NATIONAL CHAMPION DIES The Lady Vol basketball family learned on Mon., Dec. 27, that Melissa Ann McCrayDukes had lost her long and hard fought battle with breast cancer. McCray-Dukes was 43 years old. Nicknamed “Emma” by her Tennessee teammates, McCray-Dukes played on four
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES consecutive NCAA Final Four teams (1986-87-88-89) and started as a guard on coach Pat Summitt’s first two national championship teams in 1987 and 1989. “Melissa was one of the most incredible people you could ever meet,” Summitt said. “She fought cancer with the same determination and tenacity she showed on the basketball court. She went into every single day of her life as a winner. Melissa had incredible optimism but she also knew she was in God’s hands at the end of her fight. She has taught me so many life lessons over the last four years and she will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts go out to her family and many friends.” She was the wife to the Reverend Johnny Dukes and mother to daughter Stephanie McCray, 20, and son Chandler Dukes, 16. She was born on Jan. 27, 1967 in Savannah, Ga. As a tribute to her, the 2010-11 Lady Vol team will wear her Tennessee number, a black and white number 35, on their game shorts beginning with the contest versus Rutgers. KINNA JOINS THE 1000 POINT CLUB Lady Vol junior Shekinna Stricklen became the 35th member of the Tennessee 1,000 point club on Dec. 22, 2010. The Morrilton, Ark., native went over the mark against ETSU with seven points on the night to enter the elite group of Lady Vol 1,000 point achievers.
NOT SURPRISED IT WENT TO OT Chances are always pretty good that a Tennessee vs. Stanford game might need to go into extra innings. The Lady Vols have now participated in 41 overtime affairs all-time (against all opponents) and one-eighth of those games (six) have come against the Cardinal. UT’s meeting with #3/2-ranked Stanford on Dec. 19 in Knoxville was forced into an extra frame with the Lady Vols winning, 82-72. With that victory, UT leads 4-2 in overtime contests vs. SU. In fact, the previous time the two teams met in Thompson-Boling Arena, Tennessee claimed a 79-69 OT victory on Dec. 21, 2008. Few would know it then but it would become the signature victory in the Lady Vols dismal, 22-11 campaign in 2008-09. HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?? Tennessee’s 25 percent field goal shooting night against Baylor was the lowest in school history. The horrendous 18-72 shooting display eclipsed the previous all-time school record low of 27 percent (17-63) against North Carolina in the 2007 NCAA Final Four semifinals on April 1, 2007. In 1,247 games coached by Pat Summitt, her teams have dipped under 30 percent shooting just six times and five of those times have occurred in the last six years. In addition to the Baylor and North Carolina low marks, UT shot .278 vs. Rutgers (12-29-04), .280 vs. Duke (12-2-04), .286 at Minnesota (12-4-83) and .296 against Rutgers (2-11-08) TEXAS TRIP ROAD REMNANTS After the Texas road swing, freshman Meighan Simmons led the team in scoring, averaging 17.4 ppg and ranked second on the team in assists, dishing out 26 on the season... The Cibolo, Texas, native also ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in scoring... Over the three road contests (including ODU), Simmons averaged 18.0 points a contest, including 22 at Baylor...Also on the road trip, junior Shekinna Stricklen averaged a team-high 8.7 rebounds, pulling 11 down against both Texas and Baylor...Stricklen also posted her third double-double on the season against the Longhorns, scoring 10 points to go along with her 11 boards... HEY, HEY, THE GANG’S ALL HERE The game with Texas marked the first time in the 2010-11 season that the Lady Vols were at full-strength with a full complement of 13 players. At Texas, freshman point guard Lauren Avant made her first appearance since the season opener at Louisville. Avant had been sidelined with an ankle sprain. Junior post Alyssia Brewer was cleared by team physicians for full go on Monday, Dec. 6 -- about a month earlier than first anticipated. Brewer had surgery to her left Achilles tendon and was not expected back until January. Against Texas, she was the first Lady Vol sub off the bench and logged four minutes recording a pair of assists and a steal in four minutes. IT WAS A BIG WEEK FOR BAUGH Lady Vol redshirt junior center Vicki Baugh graduated ahead of her class on Dec. 11, 2010, with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Communication Studies. She will begin graduate school in Sports Psychology in January 2011 while completing her athletic eligibility. DON’T MAKE A LIAR OUT OF ME Sophomore guard Kamiko Williams was a work horse for the Lady Vols at Texas. She earned her second start of the season and the fourth of her career against the Longhorns. Williams, who was known to give into fatigue as a freshman, played 37 minutes on at Texas and scored a season high 14 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished four assists and blocked two shots. Most impressive stat? Zero miscues. FIVE ALIVE UT coach Pat Summitt played her fifth different line-up in 10 games at Texas and found some pretty good results with the combination of Meighan Simmons, Kamiko Williams, Glory Johnson, Shekinna Stricklen and Angie Bjorklund. The five some all scored in double-figures with Bjorklund dropping in 20 points, Simmons 18, Williams 14, Johnson 13 and Stricklen, a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
LOVE US SOME LADY VOLS Over the years, the Tennessee Lady Vols have been fortunate to help to attract some big crowds on the road. Plus, there’s UT orange every where you go. Louisville enjoyed a record advance sell-out of 22,124 on Nov. 12. Old Dominion broke the Ted Constant Arena record for a women’s hoops game with 7,774 on Dec. 5. Tennessee also had over 100 fans join them in the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam, Nov. 25-27. Baylor enjoyed an all-time high throng of 10,569 when the Lady Vols visited on Dec. 14, 2010. MICKIE D BACK IN TENNESSEE ORANGE Tennessee fans are tickled to death to have longtime Lady Vol staffer Mickie DeMoss back on the Tennessee bench in 2010. DeMoss left UT for the head coaching position at the University of Kentucky in 2003. Prior to DeMoss taking the helm at Kentucky, the Lady Vols had outscored the Wildcats by an average of 32.0 ppg (85.8 to 53.8) in the four previous seasons (2000-03). The “DeMoss Factor” (2004-07) narrowed the score to a Tennessee leading 70.3-62.3, just a +8.0 winning margin for UT. DeMoss’ Cats shaved Tennessee’s margin of victory by 24 points. DeMoss stepped down from coaching after the 2007 season only to be lured back into the fray by taking an assistant position with Texas. When a position opened up on Coach Pat Summitt’s staff last spring, DeMoss took the opportunity to come home to Knoxville as an assistant coach and the recruiting coordinator. VYING FOR A PATCH Tennessee athletes who have achieved honor roll status (above a 3.0 GPA) in the classroom display a “Vol Scholar” patch on their uniform. The “VS” letters are wrapped around a replica of the torch carried by the UT Torchbearer. Currently, seniors Angie Bjorklund and Sydney Smallbone, juniors Briana Bass, Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning, sophomore Taber Spani and freshman Lauren Avant display the academic patch on their uniforms. FAST HEALER Lady Vol junior post Alyssia Brewer was cleared by team physicians on Dec. 6 to resume practice. Her clearance was a month earlier than first expected. Brewer had been out since August 19th when she suffered a freakish non-athletically related injury when a candle base broke on the floor in her apartment and a shard of glass cut her leg. Brewer received stitches and was held out of individual workouts. The injury was reevaluated after she continued to feel discomfort in the leg. On Sept. 10, Drs. Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher, UT team orthopaedists, performed surgery to repair a tear to her left Achilles tendon. Brewer, a 6-3 junior from Sapulpa, Okla., emerged as a key member of the 2009-10 team earning 13 starting assignments while averaging 10.2 ppg and 5.9 rpg -- practically doubling the scoring output of her rookie campaign. The southpaw registered 17 games in double-figures including a career high 23 points against George Washington. She was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2010 Southeastern Conference Tournament leading her Lady Vol team to the title averaging 14.7 ppg and 5.7 rpg and connecting on 70.4 percent of her field goal attempts in the three game set Brewer also claimed the 2010 SEC 6th Woman of the Year award. LEARNING CURVE Lady Vol freshman point guard Lauren Avant went down in practice on Nov. 14 with an ankle sprain. She missed the next seven games but returned to practice and played at Texas for the first time since the season opener. She did not travel to ODU due to the Lady Vols missed class policy. RECORDS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN You never know with rookies...Somewhere between launching a first half three-point airball and late in the second half versus Lamar, rookie guard Meighan Simmons broke the UT school record for most made three-pointers in a single game with eight. Fellow Lady Vol and senior Angie Bjorklund made seven treys three times as a freshman in 2007-08 and Shanna Zolman drilled seven trifectas once in 2006. RECORDS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN, PART 2 Against Lamar, UT tied its single game team record for threes made (15) and set the record for three-point attempts (36). Earlier this season, Tennessee went 15-of-35 from three-point land to rewrite the records versus Chattanooga. AND WHILE WE ARE TALKING RECORDS Senior Angie Bjorklund attempted her third three of the Lamar game with 12:59 remaining to set the Lady Vol career record for three-point attempts, passing Shanna Zolman’s old mark of 626 set from 2002-06. ROOKIE, ROOKIE I DECLARE UT freshman Meighan Simmons was called on to start at point guard versus Lamar and responded with career bests of 28 points and five assists. GOOD TO SEE YOU Sophomore Kamiko Williams started to look comfortable on the court and earned a starting assignment against Lamar where she tossed in 13 points and had three steals in 23 minutes. At the Paradise Jam she averaged 7.7 ppg and shot 52.9 percent from the field. She tossed in 10 versus Missouri and entering the tournament, she recorded back-to-back games of 12 points against Arizona State and Virginia.
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES GLORY, GLORY Lady Vol junior Glory Johnson was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week (Nov. 22-28). She led then-No. 4 Tennessee to a 2-1 record at the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, USVI. She was named to the “Reef Division” all-tournament team after averaging 11.7 ppg, 13.0 rpg and shooting 61.1 percent from the field at the three-day competition. After tallying seven points and nine boards to open the tournament on Thursday in a 82-44 win over Missouri, the 6-3 forward recorded back-to-back double-doubles to close the weekend. Johnson grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to go along with a game-high 15 points in a 66-42 win over Georgia Tech on Friday, and scored 13 points and snagged 12 boards on Saturday in a 69-58 loss to No. 12/13 Georgetown. This was Johnson’s third career SEC weekly honor. She was named SEC Freshman of the Week twice in 2008-09.
REHASHING PARADISE JAM
Against Georgetown-•It is the first time in three seasons that Tennessee has not led in a game and UT trailed by as many as 11 in the first half, 26-15. •In the first seven-and-half minutes of the game, Tennessee had a 12-2 rebound advantage, but allowed the Hoyas to shoot 50-percent (4-8) from three as the Lady Vols started out in a 2-3 zone. •Vicki Baugh checked into the game at the 10:48 mark in the first half and scored a seasonhigh six points in a season-best 14 minutes. •Tennessee had 18 turnovers in the first half, and matched its season-worst with 29 total.

Against Georgia Tech-•Glory Johnson grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to go along with a game-high 15 points. •Tennessee didn’t allow a single Yellow Jacket to score in double figures – the last time UT accomplished that feat was March 18, 2007 versus Drake. •Redshirt junior Vicki Baugh checked in with 13:14 to go in the first half and played seven minutes before the intermission, tallying two boards and missing her only field goal attempt. •The power went off just before halftime, leaving the gym without lights for several minutes, and again with 11:28 remaining, 10:26 left and 10:25 left in the game. The duration of each delay in order was: 13:32, 11:30, 10:45 and 7:45 for a 43:15 total delay. Against Missouri•All 10 Lady Vols that played made a basket. •Alicia Manning had a career-high five steals. •Sophomore Taber Spani Reached double figures for the fourth straight game, scoring 10 points. BJORKLUND -- SOME STRONG NIGHTS Against Virginia, senior guard Angie Bjorklund scored a game-high 26 points on 8-of15 shooting (6-of-10 from three) – the most points she’s scored since dropping 29 on Old Dominion in Dec. 18, 2008. The iron woman played all 40 minutes and added five rebounds, four assists, one steal and just one turnover. DUNK YOU VERY MUCH Lady Vol junior Glory Johnson attempted a dunk in the game against Chattanooga on Nov. 15 on a breakaway at the 17:53 mark in the second half and just missed. Former Lady Vol Candace Parker is the only female to dunk on “The Summitt.” She threw four dunks down on her home court from 2006-08. THREE-POINT MARK - -RE-BROKEN VS LAMAR Tennessee initially broke the UT single-game records for three-pointers made (15) and attempted (33) in the game with Chattanooga on Nov. 15, 2010. Forty-five of the Lady Vols’ 103 points came from long range. DIALING ASSISTANCE Tennessee assisted on its first 12 baskets in the game against Chattanooga on Nov. 15. UT tallied more assists (12) in the game’s first 10:34 than it did versus Louisville in the season opener (11). UT finished with 25 assists. BIG LEAGUE ROOKIE Rookie guard Meighan Simmons became the 60th freshman ever to start a game for the Lady Vols when she got the nod against Chattanooga on Nov. 15. She then proceeded to score 11 of Tennessee’s first 19 points, including three treys in the first 6:21 of the contest. Behind her explosive effort on both the offensive and defensive ends, the Lady Vols jumped out to a 10-0 lead before two minutes even elapsed in the game. HANDLES AND NO HANDLES First for the handles-- UT rookie Meighan Simmons had a big night off the bench for
the Lady Vols in the season opener at Louisville. The Cibolo, Texas native dropped in 22 points in 31 minutes of action. She was a basket short of tying the Lady Vol rookie record for most points in an Orange & White debut. Freshman Semeka Randall tossed in 24 points against Mississippi in the season opener on Nov. 18, 1997, it was the most points ever scored by a rookie in her debut at Tennessee. And now for the no handles -- the Tennessee Lady Vols had trouble hanging onto the basketball versus Louisville in the season opening game on Nov. 12. UT turned the ball over a ridiculous 29 times which resulted in 21 points for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine miscues only ties the ninth worst turnover performance in Lady Vol history. Texas forced Tennessee into 32 turnovers in the worst loss in Lady Vol history, a 91-60 defeat in Austin, Texas on Dec. 11, 1984. LOVE THE SELLOUTS! The over capacity pre sold-out attendance in the first game ever at the brand new KFC Yum! Center was 22,124 – the 19th largest crowd the Lady Vols have ever played in front of and the biggest in BIG EAST history. Last season, the Lady Vols played in two games which were announced as advance sellouts at Virginia and Middle Tennessee State. Overall, UT played in front of crowds of more than 10,000 fans in 19 games in 2009-10. In 2007-08, Tennessee’s NCAA Championship marquee value helped in attracting five advance sellouts on the road. 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-figure rebounder in the history of the program -- Olympian and Kodak All-American 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-figure rebounding average but had to settle for 9.8 rpg. COOL UNIS BY adidas This season, adidas and the Tennessee men’s and women’s basketball teams are unveiling the lightest and most technologically advanced college basketball uniforms ever. Designed and developed by adidas, the uniforms are 30 percent lighter and dry twice as fast as previous uniforms to help enhance performance by keeping players cooler, drier and more comfortable on the court. “Our 2010-11 adidas uniforms are absolutely cutting-edge with the new breathable material,” Lady Vols head coach Pat Summitt said. “They have a sleek look and are the lightest and most comfortable uniforms our team has ever worn. I like having the adidas advantage on the basketball court.” The new Tennessee uniforms, made from 60 percent recycled materials, feature adidas’ Formotion technology, which reduces seams, decreases friction between the garment and the player’s skin and optimizes the player’s natural movement through specially constructed material. adidas reduced uniform weight and increased player comfort by switching front and back numbers from heavier, dense materials to a more breathable mesh. The new Tennessee uniform absorbs moisture in less than three seconds as a result of adidas CLIMACOOL fabrics. LADY VOLS PLACE THREE ON NAISMITH Three Tennessee Lady Vols were named to the 2010-11 Naismith preseason watch list, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced on Nov. 9. Senior guard/forward Angie Bjorklund, redshirt junior center Kelley Cain and junior guard/forward Shekinna Stricklen made the 50-person list for the award given to the women’s college player of the year. In 2009-10, Bjorklund was a unanimous choice to the First Team All-SEC by the league coaches and was also selected First Team All-SEC as chosen by the Associated Press. In addition, she was named the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, was tabbed to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Team and earned Honorable Mention All-American from the Associated Press. Bjorklund led Tennessee in scoring at 13.9 ppg. Cain earned Associated Press First Team All-SEC honors, along with First Team All-SEC and All-Defensive Team accolades from league coaches after leading the SEC in blocked shots with 113 (3.4 bpg). She set a new Tennessee school record for blocks in a game with 12 against LSU on Feb. 22, 2010, and blocks in a season. Stricklen was named Second Team All-SEC by the conference coaches and the AP. She recorded only the second triple-double in Lady Vol history when she scored 17 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and dished out a career-best 12 assists against #14/15-ranked Oklahoma on Jan. 3, 2010, at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Morrilton, Ark., native was second on the team with 12.7 ppg, third with 6.1 rpg and boasted a team-high 3.9 apg. Candace Parker is the last Lady Vol to win the prestigious award, taking the honor in 2008. Tamika Catchings (2000) and Chamique Holdsclaw (1998, 1999) also captured the award. ANGIE B UP FOR LOWE’S SENIOR CLASS AWARD Lady Vol senior Angie Bjorklund was selected as one of 30 candidates on Nov. 3 for the 2011 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award in women’s hoops. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities. To be eligible for the award, a studentathlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. Bjorklund is a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection and was the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s basketball in 2009-10. Additionally, the Spokane Valley, Wash., native was one of five members of the prestigious CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-America Basketball First Team in 2010 while also earning CoSIDA. ESPN All-District IV First Team honors.
2010-11 LADY VOL BASKETBALL ARCHIVED NOTES A psychology major, Bjorklund has a 3.74 GPA and is active in various community service efforts. Last May, she took a mission trip to Honduras for eight days. There, she visited a number of villages, children’s hospitals, and orphanages where she brought toys, stuffed animals and food to the residents of the villages. On the court, Bjorklund has career averages of 11.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 2.2 apg. She was named SEC Freshman of the Year in 200708, earned All-SEC Second Team accolades in 2008-09 and was an All-SEC First Team selection in 2009-10. HEY! WE LOVE A HAPPY MEAL The Tennessee Lady Vols lead the nation with the number of McDonald’s High School All-Americans on their roster in 2010-11 with nine players. Tennessee’s McDonald’s AllAmericans: Vicki Baugh, Angie Bjorklund, Alyssia Brewer, Kelley Cain, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning, Meighan Simmons, Shekinna Stricklen and Taber Spani. ELITE COMPANY When Coach Pat Summitt started freshman Taber Spani against Baylor last season, it marked only the 13th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very first game at Tennessee. The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985. THE NOD Last season, Kamiko Williams, a 5-11 point guard from Clarksville, Tenn. (Northeast HS), became the 59th rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Tennessee when she was in the starting line-up against Arkansas on Feb. 4, 2010. Earlier in the season, Williams’ fellow rookie Taber Spani, became the 13th frosh to start her very first 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), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments. Last season, 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), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments becoming the 53rd-57th freshmen to earn the honor. 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 freshman 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 during 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. The 2001-02 rookie class found three players earn a starting nod as Loree Moore, Shyra Ely and Brittany Jackson all started at some point in their rookie careers. OVER 500 GAMES VS. RANKED Tennessee’s game versus #12 Georgia on Feb. 16, 2006 was the Lady Vols’ 500th all-time versus a ranked team since the inception of the polls in 1976. UT is an amazing 425-159 (.725) versus ranked teams. A LOOK AT ATTENDANCE The Tennessee Lady Vols staying power with the home fans is evidenced by the huge numbers who have turned out for games in Knoxville since 1990. Tennessee has won the attendance challenge 15 out of the last 21 years. SEC COACHES TAB LADY VOLS League coaches predicted the Tennessee Lady Vols to win the 2011 Southeastern Conference championship, the SEC office announced on Oct. 28. UT returns an intact squad after going 32-3 and winning both the 2010 SEC regular season and tournament championships last year. The Lady Vols received 121 points, while Kentucky followed with 108. Rounding out the league order of finish were: LSU (93), Georgia (88), Vanderbilt (88), Auburn (59), South Carolina (48), Alabama (43), Ole Miss (42), Florida (39), Arkansas (35) and Mississippi State (28). Lady Vol senior guard/forward Angie Bjorklund and junior guard Shekinna Stricklen were named to the preseason Coaches’ All-SEC First Team, while junior posts Kelley Cain and Glory Johnson captured preseason Coaches’ All-SEC Second Team accolades.

They earned 15-of-17 first-place votes. Tennessee topped the order of finish with 202 points, with Kentucky (183), Vanderbilt (157), Georgia (150), LSU (147) and Auburn (120) rounding
out the top half of the league. South Carolina (84), Arkansas (81), Alabama (65), and Ole Miss (47) were next with Mississippi State (45) and Florida (45) tied for last place. Lady Vol senior guard/forward Angie Bjorklund and junior guard Shekinna Stricklen were named to the preseason All-SEC First Team, while redshirt junior center Kelley Cain was a preseason All-SEC Second Team selection. Kentucky’s Victoria Dunlap was the choice of the media for SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Year. The remaining votes were for Bjorklund (2) and Stricklen (2). Preseason Media Poll (First-Place Votes in Parentheses) SEC Champion: Tennessee (15), Kentucky (1), Auburn (1).

SEASON HOME OPENERS UNDER SUMMITT Over the last 37 years on opening day, the Lady Vols have won 34 times and lost just three contests -- all at home. Coach Pat Summitt lost her very first game as a college head coach -- a heartbreaking one-point decision at home in Alumni Gym to Mercer, 84-83, on Dec. 7, 1974. The next time UT lost an opening game was in Knoxville on Nov. 21, 1981, to #18-ranked Stephen F. Austin, 80-74, in Stokely Athletics Center. Most recently, UT fell in their opening contest of the 1999-2000 campaign dropping a 69-64 decision to #6-ranked Louisiana Tech on Nov. 14, 1999 in Thompson-Boling Arena. Until the loss to the Lady Techsters in 1999, the Lady Vols had won 18 consecutive season openers. Since the loss to La Tech, Summitt’s teams have won 11-consecutive home openers in Thompson-Boling Arena. THIRD EARLIEST OPENER The 63-50 win over Louisville on Nov. 12, 2010 was the third earliest date the Lady Vols have ever opened the season. Tennessee opened the 2002-03 season on Nov. 10, 2002, taking on #22/19-ranked Oklahoma and recording a 94-68 win. THREE TOP PLAYERS INK WITH UT UT Coach Pat Summitt inked three players in the early signing period: Cierra Burdick, Isabelle Harrison and Ariel Massengale.“We are very excited to have signed this outstanding class of student-athletes to come to the Tennessee,” said Summitt. “Individually and collectively, they are regarded as some of the top prospects in the nation. All three players will be an excellent fit and a complement to the players on our roster. Our coaching staff and team are thrilled that these talented young women will be wearing Tennessee Orange and White next season.” A number of pollsters, who rate signing classes, gave Tennessee the nod for the nation’s best recruiting class. Burdick and Massengale were early commits and Harrison joined the fold with a verbal on Oct. 28. The Lady Vols lose only two seniors after the 2010-11 season, starting guard Angie Bjorklund and reserve guard Sydney Smallbone but will have a seven-player senior class in 2011-12. The incoming class of three signees will shore up key needs on the coaches’ wish list. CIERRA BURDICK, F, 6-2, MATTHEWS, N.C./ BUTLER H.S. -- Cierra Burdick is considered to be the top forward and the consensus No. 3 overall player in the 2011 class…A versatile impact talent with all of the physical attributes to be a top scorer or rebounder… ISABELLE HARRISON, F, 6-3, NASHVILLE, TENN., HILLSBORO H.S. -- Isabelle Harrison was considered as the consensus overall No. 19 recruit in the Class of 2011 after being ranked No. 13 by Blue Star Basketball, No. 19 by All-Star Girls Report and No. 29 by ESPN Hoopgurlz…She averaged 16.7 ppg and 11.1 rpg as a junior…Her sister, DeeDee, is a 6’3” redshirt sophomore middle blocker on the Lady Vol Volleyball team… ARIEL MASSENGALE, G, 5-6, BOLINGBROOK, ILL./BOLINGBROOK H.S. -- Ariel Massengale is a high profile point guard who was an early commit to the Lady Vols…Considered the nation’s best point guard in the 2011 class and the consensus fourth best overall prospect…Has been called confident, consistent, and assertive leader on the floor…

EXHIBITION 1: CARSON-NEWMAN KNOXVILLE -- No. 4 Tennessee began a new women’s basketball season on Tuesday night, but a 110-66 exhibition victory over Carson-Newman in Thompson-Boling Arena couldn’t silence coach Pat Summitt’s usual refrain. That’s defense and rebounding. The final score certainly wound up in Tennessee’s favor, and the Lady Vols never trailed. Tennessee shot 54 percent from the field, including a 61-percent mark from both the field and from 3-point range in the first half. Exhibition games are all about finding places to improve. And the Lady Vols were without three post players still nursing injuries Alyssia Brewer, Kelley Cain and Vicki Baugh. That certainly altered UT’s front line, but even without those three (and senior Angie Bjorklund and freshman Lauren Avant) on the court, they still managed to outrebound the Lady Eagles 45-28. Freshman Meighan Simmons scored 11 points and led the team with five assists in her first game as a Lady Vol. Four other Lady Vols scored in double figures Tuesday night as well. Taber Spani hit four of her six 3-point attempts and finished with 22 points, while Shekinna Stricklen was 4-for-5 beyond the 3-point line and had 15 points. Forward Alicia Manning didn’t have much trouble on the boards, grabbing 13 rebounds and scoring 15 points. Sydney Smallbone also reached double figures, scoring 10 points in 21 minutes.
EXHIBITION 2: UNION (TENN.)
GAME 1: LOUISVILLE
KNOXVILLE -- The University of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team cruised to an 86-53 exhibition victory over two-time defending NAIA champions Union (Tenn.) on Nov. 7 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Union hung tough for much of the first half and drew to within 2118 before the Big Orange closed the half on an 18-3 run to take a 39-21 lead into the locker room. Tennessee was keyed by the play of sophomore Glory Johnson, who led Tennessee with 20 points and 11 rebounds, both game-highs. After being critical of her team’s defensive performance on Tuesday night against Carson-Newman, UT coach Pat Summitt spoke much more glowingly about today’s defensive effort, but emphasized that the team still has improvements to make. Tennessee got a spark from the return of Vicki Baugh. A junior forward, Baugh had not played since suffering a second torn ACL on Feb. 3, 2009. She entered the game to a standing ovation from the 11,252 fans at Thompson-Boling Arena, something she said really meant a lot to her. Three other Lady Volunteers scored in double figures, led by Alicia Manning’s 13 points. Taber Spani and Shekinna Stricklen added 10. UT pulled down 49 boards (20 offensive) to Union’s game total of 23 and forced 19 turnovers. Union head coach Mark Campbell said he was proud of his team’s effort. Kayla Hudson led the Lady Bulldogs with 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting, including 5-of-10 from way downtown.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Led by freshman guard Meighan Simmons’ 22 points off the bench before a record crowd, No. 4 Tennessee beat Louisville 63-50 on Nov. 12 in the first regular-season game at the new KFC Yum! Center. The game set a Big East women’s attendance mark of 22,124. That topped the 19,123 that then-No. 1 Connecticut drew in a visit to Freedom Hall on Jan. 12, 2008. Shekinna Stricklen scored 14 points for Tennessee, which improved to 34-3 in season openers in Summitt’s 37 seasons. Monique Reid had 19 points for Louisville in a loss that snapped a five-game winning streak in openers for the Cardinals. It was a sloppy, physical game as both teams struggled to hold onto the ball or find the basket. Louisville led 8-2 before Tennessee took the lead for good at 11-10 on a layup by Johnson. The Lady Vols wound up with 29 turnovers. Louisville had 22. Simmons got going in her own debut hit a jumper to cap a 10-0 spurt for a 15-10 lead midway through the first half. Louisville didn’t go away, not with that crowd ramping up the energy every time the Cardinals hit a big basket. Each time the Cardinals scored to trim the lead, Tennessee answered. Reid’s fastbreak layup pulled the Cardinals within 3231 in the opening minutes of the second half, and Cain scored six straight buckets underneath for Tennessee. Becky Burke hit a 3 that pulled Louisville within 40-36 with 12:40 left. Simmons took over. She got the rebound of her own miss and scored. She then hit back-to-back 3s before Stricklen’s layup gave Tennessee its first double-digit lead at 55-44 with 5:11 to go.

KNOXVILLE -- Tennessee assistant coach Mickie DeMoss wrote on the board before the fourth-ranked Lady Vols took the court against Chattanooga, “If you’re open, do not hesitate.” Not a problem, coach. Meighan Simmons led four players in double-digit scoring with 26 points as Tennessee hit a school-record 15 3-pointers in a 10343 romp over Chattanooga on Monday night. The freshman, who was rewarded for her 22-point performance in her first game as a Lady Vol with a starting role against Chattanooga, got things rolling with a 3-pointer 9 seconds into the game. The Lady Vols (2-0) never let up as they hit four more 3s during their opening 19-0 run. Smothered by Tennessee’s pressing defense, Chattanooga (02) didn’t score until 14:22 in the first, when Alex Black fought for a jump shot to make it 19-2. Simmons immediately answered with yet another 3-point shot, and the Lady Mocs went through another 4-minute scoring drought. Tennessee baited the Lady Mocs by going inside to its tall posts and then shooting the ball outside to whichever sharpshooter was wide open. The Lady Vols grabbed a 36-point lead off a Sydney Smallbone jumper with less than a minute to go before the break, but a free throw by Chattanooga’s Tenisha Townsend cut it to 5116. By then the Lady Vols had shot 58.8 percent from the field, made 11 of 18 from behind the arc and had three players in doubledigit scoring. Angie Bjorklund finished with 20 points, Taber Spani had 14 and Kamiko Williams added 12.

GAME 3: VIRGINIA KNOXVILLE -- The Tennessee Lady Volunteers overcame sluggish defensive play with accurate shooting against a speedy Virginia team to capture an 85-73 win at Thompson-Boling Arena on Nov. 18. Strong shooting overcame the defensive woes as the Lady Vols shot 53.1 percent against the Cavaliers in the first half. Bjorklund, who scored 24 points in a win at Virginia a season ago, made six 3-pointers and scored 26 points while playing all 40 minutes. Shekinna Stricklen added 15 points for Tennessee, and Meighan Simmons had 12. Ariana Moorer led Virginia with 24 points, Paulisha Kellum added 18 and Telia McCall had 10 points and eight rebounds. Virginia got off to a quick start, hitting its first eight shots and used a 9-0 run to take a 17-9 lead with 15:45 in the first half. Tennessee switched between their typical man-to-man defense and a zone to slow the Cavaliers down and rally back. A 3-point basket by Stricklen tied the game at 32 with 6:42 in the first half, and the Lady Vols held a 41-39 lead at halftime. Bjorklund opened the second half with a 3-pointer, launching an 8-0 run that gave Tennessee a 49-39 lead with 15:36 left. Virginia didn’t score until a pair of free throws by Ataira Franklin with 14:39 to go. The shooting effort remained cool as the Cavaliers hit only 41.7 percent of their second-half shots. The Lady Vols pushed the margin to as many as 18 points -- enough to sustain a late run by Virginia.
GAME 4: Arizona State KNOXVILLE -- Junior Glory Johnson grabbed 15 rebounds and scored 14 points inside as the Lady Volunteers beat Arizona State 80-64 on Nov. 21. Both Tennessee and Arizona State used smothering defense in the first half, but the Sun Devils’ shooting efforts fell apart halfway through under pressure by the Lady Vols. The Sun Devils wouldn’t score again in the half after taking an 18-17 lead on a jumper by Adrianne Thomas with 8:38 to go. The Lady Vols used a 16-0 run during that time to grab a 33-18 lead heading into halftime. Tennessee (4-0) took advantage of 11 first-half turnovers by Arizona State, turning them into 12 points. Instead of relying on Angie Bjorklund, their senior shooting guard, the Lady Vols spread the ball around. Shekinna Stricklen led the team with 18 points, Kamiko Williams and Taber Spani each added 12 and Meighan Simmons had 10. The Sun Devils (2-1) have relied on their own defense and rebounding to carry them this season. They limited their first two opponents to 33 percent shooting from the field while forcing a combined 46 turnovers and outrebounding their opponents an average 53-30.5. Instead, it was Lady Vols who won the rebounding battle, 45-36, as they hit 45.6 percent of their shots from the field. Arizona State shot 51.9 percent in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their 28.6 percent first-half shooting, and the Lady Vols’ lead never dropped below 13 points after halftime.

GAME 5: MISSOURI ST. THOMAS, USVI -- The fourth-ranked University of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first five minutes, 15 seconds of the opening stanza and never looked back, racing to an 82-44 victory over Missouri in its first game of the “Reef Division” at the 2010 Paradise Jam tournament at the University of the Virgin Islands’ Sports and Fitness Center. The Lady Vols improve to 5-0 on the season, while the Tigers drop to 1-2. All 10 Lady Vols that played made a basket, and Meighan Simmons was UT’s leading scorer with 14 points. The 5-9 freshman from Cibolo, Texas, has now started her career off by reaching double figures in her first five collegiate games. Raeshara Brown, of Missouri, led all scorers with 18 points, but the rest of the Tigers couldn’t muster anything offensively. UT used stifling defense throughout the game to hamper Missouri’s attack throughout the game. The Tigers missed six of their first seven shot attempts, and committed 15 turnovers to just four for the Lady Vols in the first half. After racing out to an 11-2 lead behind three buckets by 6-6 junior center Kelley Cain, the Lady Vols allowed six straight Tigers’ points. Tennessee answered by going on a 17-3 run to take a commanding 28-11 lead. The Lady Vols scored 10 straight points to open the second half, taking a 53-24 lead at the 17:19 mark. Tennessee finished the game shooting 50.8 percent, while holding the Tigers to 34.1 percent from the field.
GAME 6: Georgia Tech ST. THOMAS, USVI -- Just before the start of the second half on Friday night, the power went off and it took several minutes for the lights to come back on at the University of the Virgin Islands’ Sports and Fitness Center. With 11:28 remaining in the contest, they went out again. And again two more times in the second half. The fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team had already said good night to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets long before the first blackout, however, racing out to a 46-17 halftime lead en route to a 66-42 victory in the “Reef Division” of the Paradise Jam tournament in a game that gave new meaning to “Black Friday.” An island-wide power outage caused delays of 13:32, 11:30, 10:45 and 7:45 for a 43:15 total delay. Relying heavily on its zone defense, Tennessee (6-0) held the Yellow Jackets (3-4) to just one field goal over a 13-minute, 28-second span of the first half and rattled off a 27-2 spurt before the halftime buzzer. No Yellow Jacket reached double figures in scoring and junior forward Glory Johnson grabbed a career-best 18 boards and scored a game-high 15 points. Tennessee led 12-11 before junior point guard Shekinna Stricklen blocked a Tyuanna Marshall layup, grabbed the rebound, pushed the ball past half court and pulled up for a three-pointer to spark the 27-2 run. Freshman Meighan Simmons continued her stellar start, scoring 14 points.
GAME 7: No. 12/13 Georgetown ST. THOMAS, USVI -- The fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team got a taste of its own medicine on Saturday night at the University of the Virgin Islands Sports and Fitness Center in the final game of the “Reef Division” at the 2010 Paradise Jam. No. 12/13-ranked Georgetown forced the Lady Vols to commit 29 turnovers, resulting in 31 points en route to a 69-58 victory. Heading into this matchup, Tennessee had committed just 25 turnovers in two games on the island and forced the opposition (Missouri and Georgia Tech) into committing 49 turnovers that resulted in 60 points. Georgetown captured the “Reef Division” title behind the play of guard Sugar Rodgers, who scored 28 points against the Lady Vols and was named MVP. Joining her on the all-tournament team were RaeShara Brown, of Missouri, Alex Montgomery, of Georgia Tech, Monica McNutt, of Georgetown, and Tennessee’s Glory Johnson and Meighan Simmons. Johnson had her second consecutive double-double with 13 points and 12 boards, while Simmons scored 11 points. Georgetown came into the game shooting just 27-percent from three, but hit three treys in the first two minutes, 15 seconds of the game and raced out to a 29-22 lead at halftime. Georgetown stretched the lead to as much as 17 points, 59-42 in the second half when point guard Rubylee Wright found Alexa Roche for a layup on a backdoor play with 7:14 left in the game. The Lady Vols fought back to within nine, 65-56, with 59 seconds left in the game on a layup by Johnson, but the Hoyas, who never trailed, held on for the victory.

GAME 8: LAMAR KNOXVILLE -- Meighan Simmons opened the game with consecutive 3-pointers. When the final buzzer sounded, the freshman had broken Tennessee’s single-game record for 3s, most recently set by teammate Angie Bjorklund. Simmons, making her first career start at point guard, scored 28 points and sank her eighth and final 3 with 2:03 left as the Lady Volunteers (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) beat Lamar 9955 on Dec. 1. She surpassed the previous record of seven, most recently set by Bjorklund against Arkansas on Jan. 24, 2008. Tennessee (7-1) jumped out to a 12-0 lead. Lamar, a team that returned three starters from last year’s squad that reached the NCAA tournament, missed its first nine shots before Monique Whittaker hit a layup with 15:12 left in the half. Lamar had problems hanging onto the ball, committing 29 turnovers that led to 33 points for Tennessee, which also got 26 second-chance points by outrebounding the Lady Cardinals 54-40. The Lady Vols’ early points came mostly from the perimeter and mostly from Simmons, who had 17 points by halftime on 6-of-10 shooting and five 3s. The Lady Cardinals (5-2) couldn’t keep up, and Tennessee took a 49-27 lead into halftime. After the break, Simmons cooled off a bit, giving her teammates a chance to light up the scoreboard. Shekinna Stricklen fought her way into the paint, scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Kamiko Williams had 13 points, and Glory Johnson had 12 rebounds. Tennessee pulled away in the second half and led by as many as 45 with 2:10 left as Lamar shot 30.6 percent. Ang Green led the Lady Cardinals with 15 points.
GAME 9: OLD DOMINION NORFOLK, Va. -- Meighan Simmons tied Candace Parker by reaching double figures in her first nine collegiate games and the No. 9/8 Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team used a debilitating full-court pressure to rout Old Dominion, 74-44, on Dec. 5 in front a record crowd of 7,774 at the Ted Constant Center. The Lady Vols (8-1) made 13 steals, forced 22 turnovers and scored 20 points off of the Lady Monarchs’ (3-3) givebacks. Junior forward Alicia Manning and sophomore guard Kamiko Williams led the stellar defensive effort by recording three steals apiece, as ODU shot just 30.9 percent from the field. While Manning and Williams reeked havoc on the defensive end, Simmons continued her fantastic offensive play this season. The Cibolo, Texas, native made a fade-away jumper with her body angled behind the hoop before barely beating the halftime buzzer with a running bank shots to give her 11 at the intermission. She finished with 14 and is one game away from tying Glory Johnson, who started her career with 10 double-figure scoring games. Chamique Holdsclaw (14 games) is the only other Lady to start her career on such a prolific pace. Tennessee’s first basket of the second half didn’t come until the 16:34 mark when Angie Bjorklund drilled a three-pointer to put Tennessee ahead 45-26. Bjorklund scored Tennessee’s first eight points of the second half. Old Dominion senior guard Jasmine Parker became the 28th Lady Monarch to score 1,000 career points. She scored a gamehigh 16 points. The win pushed UT’s win streak to 15 games over Old Dominion and gave Tennessee a 35-9 all-time record in the series.
GAME 10: TEXAS AUSTIN, Texas -- Senior guard Angie Bjorklund exploded for 20 points in the first half to lead the No. 8/7-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team to a 92-77 victory over No. 21/24 Texas in a run-and-gun affair at the Erwin Center. After missing her first four shot attempts, Bjorklund didn’t flinch. She made eight of her next 10 field goal tries, including four threes to lead UT to a 48-42 halftime advantage. At many times in the first half, it was Bjorklund and Texas’ Kathleen Nash, trading three-point bombs. Nash had 16 first-half points and also made four treys before the intermission. She finished with 21 points and five threes to pace the Longhorns, who used only seven players and tired in the second half. Texas kept in close early in the first half, tying the game at 11-11 five minutes into the contest, before a Bjorklund three ignited a 9-0 run and a lead UT would never relinquish. Bjorklund didn’t score after halftime, but the Lady Vols didn’t need her to, as Tennessee outrebounded Texas, 25-15 in the second half. Freshman Meighan Simmons scored 18 points in her return to her home state, while Kamiko Williams scored a season-high 14 points in a career-high 37 minutes and Glory Johnson tallied 13. Junior Shekinna Stricklin started the game at the four spot and finished with her third double-double of the season (10 pts, 11 rebs), but it was her behind-the-head no-look flick to Williams for a layup that sealed the win with three minutes left in the game, putting UT ahead 90-69.

GAME 12: STANFORD
GAME 11: BAYLOR WACO, Texas -- The No. 6-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team was held to a season-low 25.0 percent shooting from the field, as No. 2/3 Baylor slugged out a 65-54 victory in front of a sold-out crowd at the Ferrell Center. Despite making just 18-of-72 shot attempts, the Lady Vols were within nine points of the Lady Bears until the last minute of the game thanks to a 53-43 edge on the boards. The Lady Vols dominated the glass, but could not contain Baylor’s sophomore star Brittney Griner. The 6-8 center scored 16 points, grabbed five boards and tallied six blocks by halftime. Baylor led 23-21 before going on an 11-0 run to end the first half. The Lady Bears held the Lady Vols without a field goal the final 5:23 of the first stanza to take a commandeing 34-21 lead. After intermission, UT came out fighting, scoring the first six points of the quarter on a Glory Johnson free throw, a layup by freshman Meighan Simmons and a three by Simmons. UT’s last ditch effort came when Simmons was fouled twice while attempting threes in the last two minutes. She made all six free throws to cut Baylor’s lead to 62-53. However, the Lady Vols didn’t hit another field goal the rest of the way. Simmons scored 22 points on 6-of-21 shooting, while senior Angie Bjorklund was the only other Lady Vol to reach double figures, scoring 10, as UT recorded season-lows for points (54) and assists (5). Junior Shekinna Stricklen had 11 boards, but shot 1-of-9 from the field and committed six turnovers. Griner finished with 21 points, seven boards and nine blocks for Baylor, while freshman Odyssey Sims scored a career-best 24.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- An ice-in-the-veins three-pointer by freshman guard Meighan Simmons with 48 seconds sent the sixthranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team to its 41st all-time overtime contest where it would not be denied, defeating No. 3/2 Stanford, 82-72, in front of 14,197 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee redshirt junior center Kelley Cain missed a pair of free throws with just under three minutes remaining in the extra period, but she rebounded her own miss and put back a layup to put the Lady Vols up 75-70 in what turned out to be a pivotal play of the game as the Lady Vols outscored the Cardinal 12-2 and forced the team into 0-for-6 shooting from the field in the bonus frame Coincidentally, UT’s previous two overtime games had come against Stanford with the Lady Vols taking down the Cardinal in the last matchup in Knoxville, 79-69, on Dec. 21, 2008. Tennessee raced out to a 16-6 lead and made five of its first six three-point attempts to go up by as much as 14 points in the first half (30-16). However, Stanford fought back behind senior guard Jeanette Pohlen, who scored a game-high 24 points and made six treys before fouling out in overtime. Pohlen made four threes in the second half, including a trey that put the Cardinal, which shot 62.5 percent in the second half, ahead, 59-55, with 8:12 left in the game. Stanford stretched its lead to 63-57 before Tennessee used an 8-0 run to take a 65-63 lead on a layup by sophomore Taber Spani with 4:41 left. Pohlen hit her sixth three to put Stanford up 70-67 with 1:07 remaing, but Simmons answered on UT’s next possession and the Lady Vols’ defense stepped up in overtime. Simmons finished with 23, while senior Angie Bjorklund (16), junior Shekinna Stricklen (15) and Spani (10) also reached double figures. Stanford’s Nnemkadi Ogwumike had 20 points and 10 boards.

GAME 13: ETSU KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Shekinna Stricklen became the 35th Lady Vol to score 1,000 career points and Angie Bjorklund tied the UT career three-pointers mark, as the No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team ran away from ETSU with a dominant second half, 102-53, on Dec. 22. The Lady Vols led the Lady Bucs 46-32 at the intermission, but made 16 of their first 19 shots after halftime to blow the game open. UT shot a season-best 60 percent (21-35) in the second half and outscored ETSU, 56-21. Stricklen finished with seven points, and reached the 1,000-point plateau at the 16:19 mark in the first half. Bjorklund tied the Lady Vol career three-pointers record with her 266th trey at the 12:30 mark of the second half. She scored 16 points and made 4-of-6 from behind the arc, as six Lady Vols reached double figures and Tennessee won at home for the 25th consecutive time. Taber Spani scored a season-high 15 points and grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds – doubling her previous career-best on the glass – for her first career double-double. Kelley Cain nabbed season-highs of 12 points, 10 boards and four blocks in 17 minutes. She tallied her first double-double of 2010-11 and the seventh of her career. Cain had four blocks in just over a minute late in the first half – from 2:05-:52. Also reaching double figures were Glory Johnson (15), Meighan Simmons (13) and Alica Manning (11). Tennessee opened the second half on a 7-0 run to stretch its lead to 53-32. ETSU didn’t make a shot in the second half until the 16:21 mark. A 13-0 run sparked by a Spani jumper at 14:43 in the second half and capped by a Spani layup (13:06) put UT up 72-40.

GAME 16: ALABAMA KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team got record-setting performances from senior guard Angie Bjorklund and sophomore forward Taber Spani, as UT paid tribute to Melissa McCray-Dukes with a dominating 87-51 win over Rutgers on Dec. 30 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Bjorklund set the Lady Vol career record for three-pointers with her 267th trey at the 18:34 mark in the first half. She finished with 11 points and increased her career-leading mark to 268 treys. Spani scored a career-high 22 points in her fifth start of the season. Tennessee improved to 11-0 all-time when Spani reaching double figures. The story of the game, however, was the Lady Vols’ tribute to Melissa McCray-Dukes. McCray-Dukes, who was a starter on Tennessee’s first two national championship teams in 1987 and 1989, passed away on Dec. 27 after a hard fought battle with breast cancer. For the Rutgers game, the Lady Vols wore black No. 35 patches on their shorts honoring McCray-Dukes. Tennessee came out playing with an intensity that would’ve made McCray-Dukes, a tenacious defender in her day, proud. UT jumped out to a 30-12 lead at the 9:23 mark after three consecutive layups by junior forward Alicia Manning and a three by Spani. After Rutgers fought back behind the play of April Sykes (15 points) to make the score 40-29 at the intermission, Tennessee came out on fire to start the second half. The Lady Vols scored the first nine points after halftime and never looked back, shooting 57.7 percent for the final 20 minutes. UT’s depth was especially impressive as the Lady Vol bench held a 24-1 scoring advantage against the undermanned Scarlet Knights, who dressed only nine players and were without Sykes for much of the second half because of cramps.
Baton Rouge, La. -- Depth was the difference for No. 5/6 Tennessee in the 73-65 win over LSU on Jan. 2 in the Southeastern Conference season opener at the PMAC. Despite not making a three-pointer in a game for the first time in 422 games - a streak that dated back to Jan. 21, 1999, the Lady Vols got 40 bench points and shot 50 percent overall from the field for the third consecutive game. Leading the way off the bench for UT was junior forward Glory Johnson. The 6-3 Knoxville, Tenn., native was one rebound shy of a double-double at halftime and finished with a season-best 19 points and 15 boards. She made 8-of-13 shots and combined with redshirt junior Kelley Cain for Tennessee’s finest post performance of the season. Cain, who started, made 9-of-13 field goals to tie a career-high with 19 points, while adding eight boards and four blocks. The play of sophomore guard Kamiko Williams (13 points) and junior forward Alicia Manning (eight points, four offensive boards) was vital for the Lady Vols, as starters Angie Bjorklund and Taber Spani were both held scoreless. While the Lady Vols went 0-fo-7 from behind the arc, they were stellar from the free throw line shooting a season-best 82.6 percent (19-23). Tennessee held LSU scoreless for a nearly four-minute stretch of the first half (9:05 to 5:15), going on a 13-0 run to take a 27-20 lead. Trailing 20-14, Johnson scored seven straight points to propel the run. Cain capped the run with a layup with 5:33 left before halftime. LSU went on a 6-2 run after halftime to come within two points, but Tennessee answered with a 12-0 run started by back-to-back Cain buckets.
Knoxville, Tenn. -- A perfect shooting night from senior Angie Bjorklund and a Lady Vol freshman assists record from Meighan Simmons keyed the No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team’s highest scoring output since 2002, as UT routed Alabama, 110-45, on Jan. 6 at Thompson-Boling Arena. After being held scoreless at LSU on Jan. 2, Bjorklund exploded for 16 first-half points on 5-of-5 shooting, including four treys, to lead the Lady Vols to a commanding 58-22 halftime advantage. Alabama actually held the lead - briefly - in the game when Erica Russell made a three to put UA up 3-2 at the 18:57 mark in the first half. Tennessee held the Crimson Tide scoreless for the next 6:57, however, as Bjorklund made a trio of treys to spark a 22-0 Big Orange run that put Tennessee ahead, 24-3, just eight minutes into the contest. Simmons had five assists in the game-breaking run, nine at halftime and finished with 11 dimes, becoming the first Lady Vol rookie to reach double figures in shares. She added 15 points to become just the 10th Lady Vol to record a points-assists doubledouble. With Simmons wheeling and dealing and Bjorklund, as well as sophomore Taber Spani, hitting nothing but net in the first half, Tennessee set season bests for points (58) and shooting percentage (59.4) before the intermission. Spani finished with 15 points and a career-best five assists, including a full court bomb to Simmons for a layup in the second half. Junior Alicia Manning had 11 points and went 9-of-9 from the free throw line, while classmate Glory Johnson scored a seasonhigh 19 points off the bench for the second straight game. Sophomore Kamiko Williams swatted four shots and Kelley Cain had three blocks as UT recorded a season-high 12 putbacks. Led by Manning, Tennessee made 31-of-37 free throws for a season-best 83.8 percentage.

GAME 17: MISSISSIPPI KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Shekinna Stricklen took her coach’s advice. After a one-on-one meeting with Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt, where the all-time winningest coach in NCAA history told the 6-2 guard/forward she should be an All-American, Stricklen responded with her best effort of the season in leading No. 5/6 Tennessee to am 86-46 victory at Thompson-Boling Arena. Stricklen tied a season-high with 18 points and grabbed a seasonbest 13 rebounds for her 10th career double double and fourth of the 2010-11 campaign. Stricklen made 3-of-5 three-point attempts, and her performance on the offensive end and on the glass sparked Tennessee to its fifth consecutive 50.0 percent or better shooting performance and a resounding 53-31 advantage on the boards. The Lady Vols were stout on the defensive end from the opening tip, holding UM without a field goal until the 14:29 mark in the first half. The Lady Vols took some time to get going too, though. It wasn’t until 9:30 left in the first half that UT finally hit the gas pedal. After Ole Miss point guard Valencia McFarland’s jumper brought the Rebels within four, 16-12, the Lady Vols responded by scoring 12 straight points to go ahead 28-14 on a Kamiko Williams putback at the 5:35 mark. McFarland and Shae Nelson combined for all of the Rebels points in the game until Pa’Sonna Hope scored with 3:55 in the first half. Leading 42-22 at halftime, Tennessee continued to dominate in the second half, as freshman Meighan Simmons contributed 16 of her 18 points after intermission, and UT held Ole Miss without a field goal for over five minutes (12:08-7:04). Perhaps the most impressive stat on the day for the Lady Vols, who won their 28th straight home game - both the nation’s fourthlongest streak and the fourth-longest streak in UT history, was 4-for-23. That’s what the Lady Vols held Ole Miss’ start guard Kayla Melson to from the field, holding the SEC’s fourth-leading scorer to just 10 points a game after erupting for a career-high 30 in a win over Vanderbilt.

GAME 18: FLORIDA GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After back-to-back blowout wins over SEC opponents in Knoxville, the No. 5/6 ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team expected a stiffer test on the road against Florida. Instead, UT got more of the same, hammering Florida, 83-40, at the O’Connell Center. The Gator’s 40 points are the lowest scored by a UT opponent since San Francisco scored just 34 against the Lady Vols in Knoxville on Dec. 22, 2009. Tennessee raced to an 11-3 lead to start the game behind two quick baskets by redshirt junior Kelley Cain and a three and a layup from senior Angie Bjorklund, who scored all 16 of her points before intermission. Tennessee ended the first half on a 25-4 run over the last 11 minutes of the first half. Seven different Lady Vols scored during the run, which was capped by a three-pointer from Simmons just five seconds before the intermission buzzer. UT held Florida to just one field goal – a three pointer by Brittany Shine at the 2:49 mark – over that first half 11-minute stretch to take a commanding 47-15 lead into the break. The game was so lopsided at halftime that Tennessee had more three pointers (7) than Florida had field goals (6). The second half evoked more the same. UT scored 10 consecutive points after a Florida three to start the second stanza, and the route was on. In its last three games, Tennessee is outscoring its opponents by an average of 49.3 points per contest. Junior Shekinna Stricklen recorded her second straight double double with 11 points and 12 boards, as classmate Glory Johnson finished with 12 points, nine boards and three blocks.

GAME 19: VANDERBILT KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball won it’s 29th consecutive game at ThompsonBoling Arena in front of a season-high crowd of 17,853 when in-state rival Vanderbilt traveled to Knoxville on Jan. 15. In the nightcap of ESPN’s first-ever GameDay doubleheader, and on just one day of rest, the Lady Vols defeated the Commodores, 68-56. Junior Glory Johnson reached double figures for the seventh straight game, scoring 14 points and grabbing nine boards off the bench. Senior Angie Bjorklund also netted 14 points, while freshman Meighan Simmons tallied a team-best 17 points. The pair, however, combined to shoot just 11 of 31 from the field, including 8 for 26 from behind the arc. UT’s perimeter heavy offense allowed the Commodores back in the game late. Vanderbilt was down by as many as 22 in the second half, but cut Tennessee’s lead down to eight with just over a minute to go. VU outscored UT in the paint, 22-16, as junior center Kelley Cain was held to just four points on 1-for-5 shooting. Cain did, however, snag a season-best 13 rebounds and block four shots. Cain’s effort on the glass led the Lady Vols to a 52-39 edge on the boards. The Lady Vols raced out to a 21-5 lead at the 7:53 mark in the first half despite making just two of their first 13 shots. The Commodores started even worse from the field, missing 20 straight shots over a 9:23 span and allowing Tennessee to make an 18-0 run in the first half. Vanderbilt shot just 7-for-37 from the field in the first half for a shooting percentage of 18.9 percent – the worst by an opponent in the first half this season. For the game, Vandy shot 33.3 percent, as Tennessee held its seventh straight opponent below 40 percent shooting from the field.

GAME 20: South Carolina COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Do-it-all junior Shekinna Stricklen’s third double double in four games and a 16-point second-half explosion from star rookie Meighan Simmons led the No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team past a feisty South Carolina squad on Jan. 20 at Colonial Life Arena. The Lady Vols had six turnovers and shot just 2-of-8 in the first five minutes of the game, and were trailing 12-4, as the undersized Gamecocks applied relentless pressure. UT quickly righted its ship, however, holding USC scoreless for nearly seven minutes of the first half and using an 11-0 run to take a 15-12 lead on a Taber Spani trey with 9:22 remaining until intermission. In a seesaw first half, senior Angie Bjorklund sent the Lady Vols to locker room with a 33-26 halftime lead after drilling an off-thedribble three to beat the buzzer. After the break, Simmons’ got rolling, scoring her first points of the game on an “And-1” layup three minutes into the final stanza to put UT ahead by double figures, 40-30, for the first time in the game. Simmons continued to light it up throughout the final 20 minutes, shooting 5-of-9, including 1-for-1 on treys and making all five of her free throw attempts in a tight game. South Carolina hung around till the game’s end, cutting UT’s lead to just five points, 57-52, when Markesia Grant pick-pocketed Simmons for a fastbreak layup with 4:57 left in the game. Free throws from Simmons and putbacks from Stricklen and redshirt junior center Kelley Cain down the stretch kept the Lady Vols in control despite committing 24 turnovers. Stricklen finished with a season-high 18 points and a careerbest 16 boards. Cain joined her teammate with her eighth career double double (11 points and 11 boards) to go along with a seasonbest six blocks. Spani was huge in the first half, scoring all nine of her points on 3-for-4 shooting from downtown, as Tennessee’s 55.6 percent three-point shooting (5-9) for the game was its best this season.

GAME 21: Auburn AUBURN, Ala. -- Playing in front of their largest crowd ever at Auburn Arena, the Auburn Tigers had no answer for No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee’s size and depth, losing 73-53 in front of 7,536 fans. The Lady Vols held a commanding 38-20 edge on the boards and scored 26 bench points. Junior forward Glory Johnson came off the bench to score 16 points and grab 13 rebounds for her fifth double double of the season, while classmate Shekinna Stricklen tied a season-best with 18 points for the second straight game. Redshirt junior Kelley Cain was her usual dominant self, punishing the Tigers to the tune of nine points and 10 boards in the first half. She didn’t score after the break, but finished with 12 boards, three blocks, three steals and three assists. The play of Cain, Johnson and Stricklen in the paint enabled UT to weather a poor shooting performance from its backcourt and a 6:37 first half stretch without a field goal. The Lady Vols’ top three guards, senior Angie Bjorklund, freshman Meighan Simmons and sophomore Kamiko Williams shot a combined 0-for-6 before the intermission. Bjorklund scored seven points in the second half, Simmons added five and Williams dished four assists, but the real star of the final 20 minutes was redshirt junior Vicki Baugh. Baugh scored nine points in just seven minutes. It was the most points she had scored since Feb. 3, 2009. Stricklen paced the Lady Vols early on. She drilled her second three with 10:34 left in the first half to put Tennessee up, 22-12, and gave herself a dozen points after starting the game 5-of-6 from the field. However, UT didn’t make a field goal again until 3:57 to go in the first half. A 7-0 run sparked by a three from sophomore Taber Spani gave Tennessee a 34-19 lead at the break. After the intermission, UT quickly went ahead 46-26 on a bucket by Spani, but Auburn refused to be blown out. UT had another fantastic defensive effort, holding its ninth straight opponent below 40 percent shooting. The win was also UT’s 10 straight since falling at Baylor on Dec. 14.

GAME 22: Mississippi State KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Whatever Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt said at halftime worked. After trailing at the break for just the third time this season, the No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team exploded for 18 consecutive points after the intermission en route to an 8155 victory over Mississippi State on Jan. 27 at Thompson-Boling Arena. UT stayed perfect in the SEC (8-0) and at home (11-0) in 201011, while pushing its TBA winning streak to 30 games. With starters Angie Bjorklund (foot injury) and Kelley Cain (flu) out for the game, junior Glory Johnson was called to start for the first time since the ETSU game on Dec. 22. The 6-3 forward responded with the finest game of her career, tallying career bests in scoring (22 points), blocks (four) and assists (seven) while tying her best mark in rebounding (18). She had a double double in the first half (her sixth this season) and made 8-of14 shots. Despite Johnson’s dominant performance, the Lady Vols struggled to defend in the first half. Mississippi State shot 58.3 percent from three in the first half and went ahead by as many as eight points, 33-25, on Porsha Porter’s third trey with 3:54 left in the first half. Tennessee opened the second half on an 18-0 run, while holding the Lady Bulldogs without a point for the first 5:49 of the second half. Freshman Meighan Simmons made a three 10 seconds after the break and UT never looked back. Simmons finished with 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting, while sophomore Taber Spani scored 18 on her 20th birthday. Sophomore Kamiko Williams scored 10 points and Shekinna Stricklen tallied her seventh double double of the season (10 pts and 10 boards) to go along with four steals. UT won its 20th game for the 35th straight season.

GAME 23: Arkansas FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Junior forward Shekinna Stricklen was glad to be home. The 6-2 Morrilton, Ark., native tied a career-high with 26 points, while leading the No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team to a 72-53 victory at Bud Walton Arena on Jan. 30. She finished 10-of-15 from the field and 6-of-9 from three to go along with four boards. Her 10 field goals tied a career best, while the six three-pointers set a new personal best. Sophomore wing Taber Spani also put on a show for family and friends who traveled from Lee’s Summitt, Mo., to see her play. She scored 18 points, including three treys. Sophomore Kamiko Williams added 10 points, while junior Glory Johnson recorded her third consecutive double double with 14 points and 12 rebounds, as well as three steals. With close to 60 family and friends making the short drive to Fayetteville, Stricklen shot out of the start like a cannon, making her first four field goal attempts, including her first three trey tries. Her third trey of the game gave Tennessee a 16-12 lead with 11:21 remaining in the first half. Arkansas kept it close in the first half behind guard C’eira Ricketts (12 points) and center Sarah Watkins (15 points), but UT capped the first half with an impressive run. The Lady Vols exploded for eight straight points in under a minute towards the end of the first half to take a 39-27 lead into the break. A three-point swish from Spani at 2:13 sparked the run. She followed with another long jumper, before Stricklen capped the run with her fourth trey of the opening half with 1:17 to go before the intermission. Stricklen had 18 points in the first half which tied her previous season best. The Razorback made a brief run early in the second half, closing UT’s advantage to four points with 15:11 left in the game behind big three’s from Watkins and Lyndsay Harris. The Lady Vols answered with an 11-3 run, however, and held UA to just six second half paint points and 33.9 percent shooting for the game.

GAME 24: Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team shook off 17 first half turnovers and used a hot shooting second stanza and a commanding edge on the glass to defeat the No. 15/18-ranked Kentucky Wildcats at Memorial Coliseum on Feb. 7. In their first game in over a week, the Lady Vols were flustered early on by Kentucky’s opportunistic frantic press in the game’s first 20 minutes. Led by reigning SEC Player of the Year Victoria Dunlap, who made her first three shots - including just her fourth trey of the season, the Wildcats jumped out to an 11-4 lead before the first media timeout. An 8-0 run just after the 15:30 mark in the first half sparked by a pair of double-clutch finishes from reserve guard Kamiko Williams placed the Lady Vols back into the game. A back and forth first half gave UK a 33-30 advantage at halftime, and the Wildcats led for the first three minutes of the second frame. That’s when junior guard/forward Shekinna Stricklen went to work, however. Stricklen gave UT its first lead, 38-36, of the second half on a three with 16:55 left in the game. After scoring just two points in the first half, Stricklen exploded for 18 after the break, notching her eighth double double of the season in the process with 20 points and 12 rebounds. She paced an offense that made 61.2 percent of it’s second half shots and a season-best 55.8 percent overall for the game. The bulk of Stricklen’s points came during a blistering 16-2 run by the Big Orange that gave the Lady Vols a 48-38 lead with just under 14 minutes remaining. Behind a season-high home crowd of 7,192, the Wildcats didn’t back down, though. In the blink of an eye, UK was back within one after A’dia Mathies made back-to-back three-pointers to make the score 54-53 with 9:43 left in the contest. UT, which held a ridiculous 45-23 edge on the glass, snatched up nearly every miss down the stretch. No board was bigger than Stricklen’s putback of her own miss that gave the Lady Vols a 67-61 lead with 2:15 left in the game. Still, Kentucky was within two points, 67-65, with 14.5 seconds remaining, but freshman Meighan Simmons made a pair of free throws to make it a two-possession game. Simmons suffered nine turnovers, but didn’t wilt under the pressure, finishing with 15 points. Williams also tied a season-best with 14 points, while junior forward Glory Johnson nabbed her fourth straight double double.

GAME 25: Florida KNOXVILLE -- Despite shooting just 38.5 percent from the field, the fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer basketball team was able to secure another blowout victory in the SEC with a 61-39 triumph over Florida on Feb. 10. Returning to Thompson-Boling Arena for the first time in two weeks, the Lady Vols came out flat, making just 9 of 27 field goals in the first half. Despite the poor shooting half, UT still led 27-18 at the break behind its strong defense. Florida shot just 21.9 percent in the first half and 25 percent for the game, as UT forced 24 turnovers and turned those miscues into 27 points. The Lady Vols held the Gators to a 2010-11 season opponent-low of 39 points - the lowest total by a UT opponent since San Francisco tallied just 34 points on Dec. 22, 2009. As has been the common thread for the team lately, junior Shekinna Stricklen and Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols in scoring with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Stricklen was instrumental in Tennessee’s two big runs that clinched the game. After Florida took a 7-4 lead on a Ndidi Madu layup at the 15:16 mark, the Lady Vols went on a 14-0 run sparked by treys from Stricklen and sophomore Taber Spani to take an 18-7 lead just over 10 minutes into the contest. UT’s stingy defense held the Gators scoreless until the 9:32 mark after the Madu layup - a five-minute, 44-second span. UT opened the second half on all cylinders, scoring 12 straight points right out of the break. Stricklen had a couple of steals and a pair of assists on Glory Johnson layups during the game-breaking spurt that put Tennessee ahead, 39-18 with 16:37 left in the game. Florida head coach Amanda Butler tried to stop the run with two timeouts in the first three minutes of the second fram, but it was all for naught, as UT cruised to 14th straight victory and moved to 11-0 in the SEC. Stricklen scored 12 of her game-high 17 in the first half, making 4-of-5 shots from the field. She added four assists and three second-half steals. Redshirt junior Vicki Baugh also had great game, grabbing seven boards and dishing three assists in just 13 minutes. Freshman Lauren Avant added a career-best seven points.

GAME 26: Vanderbilt NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteer squad came out flat in its third game in seven days at Vanderbilt on Feb. 13, but still captured a 65-57 victory over the Commodores to improve to 12-0 in the SEC. UT scored just 15 points on 5-of-25 shooting (season-low 20 percent) in the first half and trailed Vanderbilt, 28-15. It was third lowest scoring half in Lady Vol history behind the 13 points UT scored at Rutgers on Jan. 3, 2009 and the 14 they managed versus Virginia in the NCAA Regional Finals on March 25, 1996. Tennessee came back and won both of those contests, as well. After an intense halftime speech from Summitt, the Lady Vols played much better in the second half, shooting 51.5 percent (17for-33) and outscoring Vanderbilt, 50-29, over the final 20 minutes. The Lady Vols used a 16-3 run in the final frame to take control of the game after trailing by 13 at the break - tying for UT’s worst halftime deficit of the season that came at Baylor on Dec. 14. Freshman Lauren Avant, in only her 10th game of the season because of injury and illness setbacks, was the comeback’s catalyst, scoring six straight points over a 32-second span to pull UT within one point, 42-41 with 7:33 left in the contest. She also had three second-half steals in 17 minutes after the break and finished with a career-best 11 points in 20 minutes. Classmate Meighan Simmons hit a three-pointer with 5:54 left in the game and gave Tennessee a 44-42 advantage - its first lead since being up 5-2 four minutes into the game. The game-clinching play came from reserve junior post Lyssi Brewer. Like Avant, Brewer had missed over half the season’s games, but she came up big against the Commodores. Brewer made a layup and then poked the ball away from VU’s Jence Rhoads right to Simmons who found Brewer for the fastbreak score to put UT up 55-49 with 2:30 left in the game. Brewer finished with a season-best five points, while junior Shekina Stricklen tallied 14 points and nine boards and junior Glory Johnson recorded her ninth double-double (10 points and 11 boards) of the season.

GAME 27: South Carolina KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- 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 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols improved to 13-0 in the conference and 25-2 overall in a game that was never in doubt. Junior Lyssi Brewer, in her first start of the season, scored a season-best seven points in the game’s first five minutes and five 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, her nickname on the team, scored a careerbest 22 points, including her first three trey attempts of the game. Manning hadn’t made a three this season heading into the game. She made 8-of-11 field goal attempts, grabbed five boards and made three steals in 26 minutes. 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 field goal for eight minutes and 12 seconds of the first half. After Courtney Newton’s three at the 17:46 mark in the first 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, while South Carolina struggled from the field. Sophomore Kamiko Williams and Manning made back-to-back trifectas to cap the run. In the second half, UT used a 10-0 run to put the game away. Manning’s third three of the game was followed by a nifty behindthe-back pass from Simmons to Stricklen for a layup that extended Tennessee’s lead to 70-47 with 6:29 left in the game. The win marked UT’s 24th straight conference victory and 16th straight win this season.
GAME 28: Georgia KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The fourth-ranked Lady Vol basketball team captured its 16th SEC regular season championship in a dominant 77-44 victory over No. 22/rv Georgia on Feb. 21 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee improved to 14-0 in the conference with two games remaining. The Lady Bulldogs came into the contest with some momentum, having just moved back into the national rankings after a blowout victory over No. 20 Kentucky and sat second in the SEC standings, three games back of the Lady Vols. However, any question of whether UT would clinch the conference title outright was put to rest in the game’s first few minutes as the Lady Vols raced out to a 10-2 lead as freshman point guard Meighan Simmons drilled a pair of three-pointers in the opening minutes. Later in the first half, sophomore wing Taber Spani swished a 12-footer to cap a 12-3 Tennessee run and put the Lady Vols up, 27-12, with 7:45 left in the first half. The Big Orange effectively ended any hope of a Georgia comeback with an 11-0 run to start the second half that gave the Lady Vols a 51-21 lead after Spani nailed a trey with 15:34 remaining in the contest. The Lady Bulldogs missed their first five shots of the second half and didn’t score a point after the break until the 15:16 mark. Georgia finished the game with a 25.8 shooting percentage and was crushed on the boards, 49-33. Surely pumped up by the return of senior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund, who missed six games with a foot sprain, the Lady Vols shot 50 percent from the field. Although Bjorklund only scored three points in 11 minutes, the Lady Vols collectively were a scoring force as 10 players made baskets. Simmons led the way with 14 points, while junior Shekinna Stricklen and Spani each tallied 11. Junior Glory Johnson had nine points and nine rebounds and became the 36th Lady Vol to score 1,000 career points on a free throw with 13:26 left in the game.

GAME 30: LSU
GAME 29: Ole Miss OXFORD, Miss. -- The Ole Miss Rebels couldn’t stop the fourth-ranked Lady Vol basketball team on Feb. 24 at the Tad Smith Coliseum. It took Mother Nature to do that. The Lady Vols defeated Mississippi 66-39 in a game that was called with 5:24 left after rain began leaking from the “Tad Pad” roof onto the court. High winds and severe storm conditions put a hole in the coliseum’s roof and the rain showed no signs of letting up when the game was halted. Tennessee was dominant in the paint, holding a 43-15 edge on the boards and a 34-12 edge on points in the paint. UT’s three-headed monster of true post players - Glory Johnson, Lyssi Brewer and Vicki Baugh - combined for 34 points on 13-of-17 shooting and 15 boards. Johnson was the most impressive with 18 points, nine boards and four steals, while Baugh scored a season-best 12 points on 4-of-4 shooting to go along with five boards. During a two-minute span in the second half, Baugh scored seven straight Lady Vol points, including a three-point play with 9:55 left in the game. Johnson scored or assisted on the Lady Vols’ first nine points, making a jumper in the lane and dishing three assists as UT took an early 9-0 lead - capped by a trey from junior Shekinna Stricklen at the 16:46 mark in the first half. Later in the initial frame, the Lady Vols used a 20-2 run to take a commanding 31-7 lead with 8:03 left before halftime. Stricklen sparked the run with her second three at the 15:10 mark in the first half. Johnson capped the run with a putback. Ole Miss cut the Lady Vols’ lead to 16 points early in the second half after Shae Nelson hit a three and Valencia McFarland made a layup to make the score 45-29 with 17:53 left in the game. Tennessee responded by scoring four straight points on a jumper from sophomore Taber Spani and a layup by Johnson. Later Baugh had her mini-spurt, and the Lady Vol lead swelled to the point that the game was not in doubt when Johnson attempted a dunk for the second time this season with 7:20 left in the game. Johnson missed the slam, but did end up with AutoZone Player of the Game honors as UT won its 18th straight contest.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The fourth-ranked Lady Vol basketball team ran the table in Southeastern Conference league play, finishing 16-0 with an 80-60 “Senior Day” victory over LSU on Feb. 27 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Juniors Glory Johnson (15 points, 16 rebounds) and Shekinna Stricklen (17 points, 11 rebounds) each recorded their 10th doubledoubles of the season, as UT completed an undefeated SEC league play slate for the ninth time in school history. The marksmanship of UT’s only two seniors - guards Angie Bjorklund and Sydney Smallbone - helped the Lady Vols shoot a season-best 9-of-16 (.563) from behind the arc. The pair was sensational in its final regular season home game, combining to go a perfect 6-for-6 on treys. Bjorklund scored 17 points and made all four of her three-point attempts. The Lady Vols’ all-time leading three-point shooter (288) also earned her 110th career start which ties for the 10th most all-time in a Lady Vol career. Smallbone made both her trifecta tries en route to a season-best six points. Her first three point swish put the Lady Vols up 7-1 three minutes into the game. The Lady Tigers missed their first six shots and started the contest 1-for-11. Bjorklund and Stricklen broke the game open with 12 straight points during a 1-minute, 30-second span midway through the first half. Bjorklund started the run with a three at the 9:20 mark in the first half and completed the spurt with a four-point play to give the Big Orange a 32-10 advantage with 7:56 left before the break. A little over five minutes later, junior Alicia Manning and Bjorklund connected on back-to-back treys to stretch UT’s lead to 44-20 at the 3:25 mark, but the Tigers capped the half on an 11-0 run. Adrienne Webb and LaSondra Barrett combined to hit three consecutive treys and Barrett made a pair of free throws to make the halftime score 44-31. LSU kept the game close throughout the second half and cut Tennessee’s lead to 67-57 on a three by Courtney Jones with 2:58 left in the game. Manning made two steals in the final minute, however, to seal the victory, which got a final exclamation point when Stricklen hit a three at the buzzer.

GAME 31: Florida, SEC Tournament NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The No. 1-seeded Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team, ranked No. 4/4, shot 69.2 percent in the second half and got a career-high 25 points from junior Glory Johnson en route to a 92-75 win over eighth-seeded Florida on March 4 in the SEC Tournament second round. The Lady Vols move on to the SEC Tourney semifinals on Saturday. The Gators connected on 43.9 percent of their shots and refused to go away, cutting UT’s lead to single-digits as late as under three minutes left in the game. Florida attacked the Lady Vols early in the first half, forcing four early turnovers and holding a 16-14 lead at the second media timeout on a three-pointer by Brittany Shine at 11:37. Back-to-back three-pointers by Stricklen and senior Angie Bjorklund gave the Lady Vols a 20-16 lead at the 10-minute mark in the first half, and Bjorklund’s second trey put the Lady Vols up 33-22 at the 6:20 mark in the first half. Florida scored 10 straight points, however, capped by a Deanna Allen three 2:38 before halftime. Stricklen’s “and-1” layup at 1:36 ended the run and kept the Lady Vols ahead, and UT took a 38-36 lead into the break. After the intermission, Johnson went to work, scoring the first three buckets of the final stanza before one minute and 30 seconds had even ticked off. Johnson’s start set the tone as Tennessee made 18-of-26 second half shots. Junior Alicia Manning had two three-point plays in a span of just over a minute, making an “and-1” layup with 10:51 left in the game and another one a 9:48 to put the Lady Vols up 66-51. Johnson added 11 boards for her 11th double-double of the season and Stricklen had 20 points and seven boards. Brewer had a season-best eight points, while Bjorklund went 3-of-3 from three for nine points. She has made seven consecutive treys.

GAME 32: Georgia, SEC Tournament Semis NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team advanced to its 20th SEC Tournament championship game with an 82-58 victory over Georgia on March 5 at Bridgestone Arena. UT, the tournament’s No. 1 seed, jumped out to a 16-2 lead on the Lady Bulldogs, who missed their first 14 field goal attempts, and received and 18-point, five-assist performance from freshman point guard Meighan Simmons en route to the semifinal victory. The win gave the Lady Vols 20 30-win seasons under head coach Pat Summitt and the opportunity to win their 15th SEC Tournament title. Tennessee’s mix-and-match defenses confused Georgia from the start and the Big Orange raced out to a 9-0 lead on a leaner from junior Shekinna Stricklen at the 16:09 mark in the first half. The Lady Bulldogs didn’t make a field goal until Khaalidah Miller buried a three-pointer with 9:52 left until halftime to make the score 16-5. The Lady Vols followed with a scoring drought of their own, however. After Spani’s three at 13:51, the Lady Vols didn’t score for seven minutes and four seconds. Senior Angie Bjorklund hit a jumper at 6:47 to stop the drought. Under 30 seconds later Bjorklund buried a three to put the Lady Vols up 21-9 6:10 before the break. Simmons’ second three put the Lady Vols up 30-13 with three minutes left in the first half and UT took a 35-22 lead into the break. Junior Glory Johnson carried the Lady Vols after the break, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven boards in the second half and finishing with 14 and 9. She made back-to-back “and-1” layups to make the score 63-42 with 10:30 left in the contest. Bjorklund also reached double figures with 10 points and made 2-of-3 three-pointers. She made her first two trey attempts of the game to stretch her streak to nine straight treys without miss before rimming out her third behind-the-arc attempt of the game. Redshirt junior Kelley Cain added three blocks and seven points.

GAME 33: Kentucky, SEC Championship NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Defense and rebounding wins championships, but sometimes red-hot three-point shooting can help the cause, too. Despite being outrebounded for just the second time this season, the fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team completed the SEC regular season and tournament sweep by burying a school and tournament record16 treys in a 90-65 win over No. 16 Kentucky on March 6 at Bridgestone Arena. The Lady Vols will head into the NCAA Tournament with 22 straight wins - tied for the third-most in program history - after bulldozing the SEC by going 16-0 in the regular season before cruising to the tournament title behind the play of Tournament MVP Shekinna Stricklen and all-tournament team members Glory Johnson and Angie Bjorklund. This marks just the third time the Lady Vols have gone undefeated in SEC league play and won the SEC Tournament, joining the 1993-94 team and 1997-98 squad. Tennessee has won 15 SEC Tournament Championships overall, and this was the first back-to-back run since 2005-06. UT has completed the “daring double” of winning both the regular season and conference titles eight times. Bjorklund went 7-of-8 from three and scored a game-high 23 points against the Wildcats, while Stricklen made 5-of-6 from behind the arc, as UT shot 16-of-21 from trey land and a season-best 56.4 percent overall from the field. UT made its first eight three-point attempts with freshman Meighan Simmons burying a trey for the game’s first points 20 seconds in. The Lady Vols didn’t miss a three until the 3:44 mark in the first half. Leading 39-30 at the half, UT shot 70.4 percent in the second half, opening the final frame with a trey from Stricklen and a fastbreak layup by Alyssia Brewer before 1:05 had elapsed. Stricklen’s fifth three at 13:14 gave Tennessee a 60-42 lead, as the Big Orange was 12-of-13 from behind the arc at that point. A Simmons’ three - Tennessee’s 14th - at 8:12 in the second half broke the SEC Tournament record and put UT up 72-53. Bjorklund’s seventh trey set a new Lady Vol mark of 16 with 2:35 remaining in the game. The previous record of 15 was set twice this season against UTC (Nov. 15) and Lamar (Dec. 1).

TENNESSEE LADY VOL BASKETBALL Selection Show Quotes March 14, 2011 HEAD COACH PAT SUMMITT (On Capturing a No. 1 seed and hosting No. 16 seed Stetson at Thompson-Boling Arena on Saturday): “Well I’m just looking at Stetson right now. We’ll do our homework – me and my assistant coaches – and we’ll figure out what might happen if we take care of business. Our focus right now is on Tennessee and Stetson, and just finding out as much as we can about them, and what we need to do to make our preparation the best it can be. I have all of the confidence in the world, and I know that Dean (Lockwood), Mickie (DeMoss) and Holly (Warlick) will be right there watching tape. I’ll do the same thing, and we’ll get our heads together and try to make a great game plan. This team has matured tremendously. We just have to get focused. The last couple of days were average, and so now that we have a bracket, and we have an opponent, we can get real serious about it, and hopefully get their attention like we need to.” (On hosting the first and second rounds at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville): “Well it’s always a great benefit to play in Thompson-Boling Arena because of our fan support. We’ve led the nation in fan support every single year I’ve been here except for one. It’s pretty amazing what the fans do and the numbers they come out in.” (On the Lady Vols’ junior class and bouncing back from the NCAA first round loss two years ago): “The Ball State (loss) happened and we learned a lot from it. We’ve improved obviously every year. I just think this junior class has done a great job for us. Hopefully, (senior) Angie (Bjorklund) is going to step up and be ready to go with them. I think the one thing that has helped this team out so much has been the post game. We’ve got the size and the depth. I think we’ve got the numbers that we can run in and out to keep fresh bodies. We haven’t always had a deep team, but this is a pretty deep group.” SENIOR GUARD ANGIE BJORKLUND (On starting in Knoxville): “Especially because I’m a senior, being able to play at least one hopefully two more games on home court is very exciting. I know we’ll have a great turnout; we always do. We’re comfortable with the floor, the baskets and the environment.” (On being a one seed): ”I think this team’s worked so hard to be in this position. I’m just proud of our team and proud of all the hard work we’ve put in to earn the one seed.” (On hopefully progressing further this year than last year): ”I think we got that out of our system this summer. We worked very hard. I think we have great momentum coming off the undefeated SEC season. I think we just have to stay confident with that and at the same time not look any team by. We have to play one game at a time.” SENIOR GUARD SYDNEY SMALLBONE (On being awarded a number one seed): “It’s kind of like a weight off of our shoulders. Ever since the SEC Tournament, we’ve been looking forward to see what our draw was. We’re excited. I feel like every night, we’re going to have to come out, play our ‘A’ game and bring the best we have. We have a tougher bracket but I think that’s good. It’s going to keep us on our toes throughout the tournament.” (On the Dayton regional competition): “I feel like the teams in our bracket are great-caliber teams so we’re going to have to be very prepared through scouting and film. Obviously, we’re going to have to take it one game at a time and take care of business each night.” (On the expectations at Tennessee): “I feel like we’re more mature as a team and more experienced. That’s something that’s very crucial in the NCAA Tournament. We’re very hungry. We haven’t been to the Final Four in a couple of years now. At Tennessee, it’s something we strive for every season. If we don’t make it to the Final Four, it’s kind of seen as a failed season. We’re hungry to get to the Final Four and just show people what we’ve been working on the past couple years.” REDSHIRT JUNIOR FORWARD VICKI BAUGH (On starting in Knoxville, playing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008): “It’s awesome. I miss being back on the court, miss being with my team. We have a great schedule ahead of us, and I’m looking forward to it.” (On Tennessee’s bracket): “I love it. I think it’s kind of what we expected. The NCAA Tournament’s tough no matter where you go, and all the teams are going to be ready to play and bring their A game. It’s just a matter of coming out and playing ball for 40 minutes.” (On this year compared to the past few years): “Just being Tennessee, you always have that target on your back. Every team is going to be ready to play you. We just have to prove to ourselves and to our fans that we deserve to be here and come ready to play 40 minutes, and things should fall in the right place.”
REDSHIRT JUNIOR CENTER KELLEY CAIN (On starting in Knoxville): “It’s always the best when you can play at home because all our fans can come. I feel like we have the biggest following in the nation, and just to play at home is phenomenal for us and our fans.” (On Tennessee’s bracket): “It’s a good one, a very good one. We just excited to take it on. We’re just ready to start playing and get this tournament started.” (On being a one seed): “It’s just a number in front of our school’s name. It really doesn’t mean anything if you don’t bring everything you have every game.” JUNIOR GUARD BRIANA BASS (On the bracket ahead): “This is going to be an exciting road. First of all, we’re lucky and blessed to have it (First and Second rounds) here at UT. We need to take advantage of that, but we can’t take advantage of our opponents, we have to take every game one opponent at a time.” (On opening at home): “Having our fans at home is really going to be an advantage, so we have to be smart and come out ready to work.” (On using last season’s Sweet 16 loss as motivation): “We definitely think that this could be our year. We’re just clicking as a team, and everything is team-oriented.” JUNIOR FORWARD ALYSSIA BREWER (On what the team has learned from the past two NCAA tournaments): “I think our motivation is a buildup from the past two years. You definitely look back and look at the things that you could’ve done better and the things you need to improve to excel in the tournament.” (On her health): “I feel good. I feel like I’m getting back to my old self, which is what I need to do for the team. I’m taking it game-bygame like I need to.” (On the benefits of playing in Thompson-Boling Arena): “I think it’s great. It sounds cliché because you hear it so much, but we really do have the best fans in the country. They’re going to be out there to support us. Having another home game is always good, because you can play in front of the people that support you the most.” JUNIOR FORWARD GLORY JOHNSON (On the team’s tournament draw): “I think it will be a tough one for us. We have a tough schedule ahead of us. We just have to worry about one opponent at a time and just focus on the next game and the next practice. We don’t need to dwell on the past or worry about the future games we might have.” (On the lessons learned from last season’s disappointment): “We just know that we can’t take any team for granted. We don’t need to play to the level of other teams; we need to play at our own level. We need to play the Tennessee way and just forget about everything else. We know that if we play our A game, more than likely, we’ll be successful.” (On the advantage of playing at home for the first two rounds): “Having our fan base is huge. Even if we traveled, our fan base would still be there. I love being in Knoxville. It’s my hometown and I’ll have all of my family and friends come to the game. It’s a great environment to play in and I’m really excited.” JUNIOR FORWARD ALICIA MANNING (On opening the NCAA Tournament in Knoxville): “I’m really excited, especially getting to play at home. I don’t really know much about Stetson, but our coaching staff is going to have us well prepared, we’re not going to look past that first game. I’m excited to get the tournament going.” (On using last season’s Sweet 16 loss as motivation): “I think last year we sold ourselves short. We could have gone deeper in the tournament, we all think that. This year is just a totally different attitude. We have so much more experience and two freshmen added to our lineup and didn’t lose anybody, so it’s going to be a whole different ballgame this year.” JUNIOR FORWARD SHEKINNA STRICKLEN (On Tennessee’s bracket): “I feel like we have the hardest bracket. I think it’s good for us. It motivates us. I feel like we’re ready for it.” (On the team’s confidence heading into the NCAA Tournament): “Going undefeated through the SEC and winning the SEC Tournament, I just feel like we’re all really motivated. We’re just ready to start.”
(On this year compared to last year): “We met up with a good team in Baylor. We weren’t committed to our defense and our rebounding. I think we really learned from that game that you’re not going to get to a Final Four unless you play good defense and rebound and take care of the ball. That’s the only way you’re going to get to a Final Four.” SOPHOMORE GUARD TABER SPANI (On facing Stetson in the first round): “We don’t know a lot about them, but I’m sure the coaches will start on the scouting report tonight. We’re really focused. We’re excited about it. It’s a tough draw, but we’re excited about where we are. Right now, we have to focus on what we can control, which is taking care of business on Saturday.” (On how last season’s loss to Baylor has motivated this team): “I think it has played a major part. I think it’s going to be major going into the tournament, since the majority of our team has felt that disappointment. This team is a lot more mature now and we understand that getting a number one seed and getting to the Sweet 16 are not our ultimate goals. We want to get to the Final Four and beyond.” (On the team’s progress over the past few weeks): “I think we made some gains in the SEC Tournament. When we put our focus on playing every possession hard, it’s going to be hard for us to get beaten. For us, it’s more of a mental thing than anything and I think we’re getting there.” SOPHOMORE GUARD KAMIKO WILLIAMS (On securing a number one seed): “It’s a great relief. Pat always stressed that we needed to win every game to get the number one seed and secure it. Now that we know that we have it, we have the ‘x’ on our back and people are going to come after us. Our side of the bracket is a little tough so we have to come ready every game.” (On the teams in the Dayton regional): “I know some things about a few teams -- Texas is a great team. They gave us a good run earlier in the season, especially in the first half. We haven’t played Notre Dame but just watching them play, we know they’re tough. Oklahoma gave us a good run last year. They’re a really good team. We haven’t played Ohio State. Just playing against Samantha (Prahalis) in AAU, she is a great guard. Their post play is dangerous. Like I said, we have to bring it and be on top of our game.” (On the difference between the team last year and this year): “We knew we could do it but last year, we fell short with Baylor but this year we know what to expect and we have great veteran play. I think that’s going to be key for us. Meighan (Simmons) is doing a great job for us as a freshman and she’s playing like a veteran. We are definitely a different team from last year. Our mindset as a whole is much different. We know we have the talent and the people to do it. We always tell each other in the locker room, ‘We’re doing this for us this year. We can do it this year so let’s go ahead and get it done.’ Our mindset has just been different. We’ve been encouraging each other more and just pushing each other, especially in practice.” FRESHMAN GUARD LAUREN AVANT (On looking forward to her first experience in the NCAA Tournament): “It was a really exhilarating experience just watching the selection show. We’re all just tuned in and focused on our opponents, taking it one game at a time.” (On opening the Tournament in Knoxville): “It’s great because we have the most supportive fans in the nation and I have no doubt that they’ll follow us to Dayton or wherever we are, we know our fans will be there. We love their support, so we’re going to try to give them a show while we’re here in Knoxville.” (On advice from teammates leading into the NCAA Tournament): “They’ve told me that you have to bring the intensity every game. It’s win or go home and we’re planning on winning.” FRESHMAN GUARD MEIGHAN SIMMONS (On looking forward to her first experience in the NCAA Tournament): “I think it’s going to be an amazing experience, learning different things, what to expect, how the teams are going to play. We just have to go out there and play our game.” (On the mentality of playing in the NCAA Tournament): “The mentality is that we just have to go out there and play hard. The teams are going to be fighting for whatever they can. It’s one and done, so we have to go out and play our game and never underestimate the team that we play.” (On opening the NCAA Tournament in Knoxville): “I think it’s going to be an amazing experience playing in front of friends and family. It’s going to mean a lot to us and I think that’s going to give us a boost.”

•. The Lady Vols now have a 66-17 (.789) all-time record in the SEC Tournament dating back to 1980. •.Tennessee has faced Kentucky six times in the SEC Tournament and sports a 5-1 record...2-0 in Second Round games, 1-0 in the Semifinals and 2-1 in Championship games. Previously, the last time UT faced Kentucky at the SEC Tourney was in 2010 in Duluth, Ga., taking a narrow 70-62 decision in the Championship game. The only other meeting in the title game vs. UK resulted in a Kentucky title in Lexington at the 1982 SEC Championship, 80-74. • UT has faced 10 other league teams in the SEC Tournament all-time. Arkansas is the only team that Tennessee has never faced in the March spectacular. Auburn is UT’s most often faced opponent with 13 meetings. •. Previously, the Music City had not been particularly kind to the Lady Vols in the previous three appearances as UT posted a 5-2 record. In 2002, UT defeated Georgia (81-67) but lost to LSU in the semis (81-80); in 2004, Tennessee defeated Mississippi State (67-57) but lost to Georgia in the semis (68-60 OT), and in 2008, Candace Parker and company went for the extended stay plan sweeping Florida (92-61), Vanderbilt (63-48) and LSU (61-55) in the title game. • Tennessee entered the game with Kentucky sporting the nation’s number two strength of schedule and the fifth best RPI. Kentucky had an RPI of 15 and a strength of schedule at 25. • Tennessee claimed the SEC regular season crown with the win over Georgia on Feb. 21.
• It marked the 16th time that the Lady Vols have won the SEC regular season title; UT has now won back-toback titles in 2010 and 2011. In the regular season SEC finale victory over LSU, the Lady Vols extended their 2011 SEC record to 16 wins. A new program highwater mark due to the revised 16-game SEC schedule which went into effect in 2010. • The Big Orange has been fortunate to win 15 SEC Tournament titles taking the crown in 1980, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011. • The Lady Vols grabbed the “daring double” by tacking on an SEC Tournament title to go along with the regular season crown. There have been eight times when UT won the regular season SEC title and went on to win the tournament championship: 1980, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2010 and 2011. • In SEC regular season games only, UT won by +24.1 ppg margin. • The victory over Florida on Feb. 10, 2011, was the 300th SEC league win all-time for the Lady Vols. UT owns a league best record of 305-40 (.879) against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season. • Tennessee owns a 446-66 record all-time record vs. 12 teams from the SEC. UT maintains a winning record against every team in the SEC. • The game with #16-ranked Kentucky was the Lady Vols seventh of the season against a ranked opponent. With the win over UK in the SEC Tourney, UT is 5-2 vs. ranked teams in 2010-11. • Since Pat Head Summitt arrived as head coach at UT in 1974, the other 11 Southeastern Conference schools have seen a total of 68 coaches at the helm of their women’s basketball programs. Over the last 37 years, Tennessee has enjoyed one head coach for Lady Vol hoops -- Summitt. Next to Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia and Vanderbilt are the SEC programs with the next fewest head coaches over the 37 year span -- just four each.

Tennessee NCAA Tournament Game Notes • Mar. 19 & 21 • First/Second Rounds LADY VOLS SUCCESS IN THE SEC TOURNAMENT WORTH NOTING ABOUT THE SEC TITLE GAME • 2011 marked Tennessee’s 20th time (in 31 tournaments) to earn a spot in the Championship game. The Lady Vols are an amazing 15-5 in SEC title games. • Prior to winning the 2010 SEC Championship last season in Duluth, Ga., UT’s last SEC Tournament Championship was also in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena in 2008 with a 61-55 win over LSU on Mar. 9. The Lady Vols took the momentum from that title to run the table in the NCAA Tournament en route to championship number 8 in Tampa, Fla. • The Lady Vols and Wildcats are two of the six teams ever to win the SEC Tournament title. Tennessee has won 14 titles, Vanderbilt 6, Auburn and Georgia 4, LSU 2 and Kentucky 1. • Tennessee and Kentucky have just six meetings in the SEC Tournament over the years. The Lady Vols hold a 5-1 record in tourney play against the Wildcats. UK’s lone win came on their home floor in the 1982 SEC Tournament as Valerie Still led the Cats to a 80-74 win on Feb. 28, 1982. • Tennessee’s wins over Kentucky in the SEC tourney: 1988 (Albany, Ga.) Second Round, UT 100-66; 1992 (Albany, Ga.) Semifinals, UT 90-84; 1995 (Chattanooga, Tenn.) Second Round UT 74-62, 2010 (Duluth, Ga.) Finals, UT 70-62 and 2011 (Nashville) Finals, UT 90-65. • A LITTLE KNOWN STORY... Tennessee’s Pat Head Summitt could very well have coached her 1,000th win at the University of Kentucky in February 2009. Then-UK basketball coach and chief administrator Sue Feamster was looking to hand over the reins to the women’s team in 1975. Feamster contacted Head about the job. UK planned to offer Head a little more money than she was making in Knoxville. The sticking point? Head asked for moving expenses. UK said “no.” The rest, they say, is history. •The Lady Vol juniors had a rough rookie season at UT and clearly remembers the sting of the loss at Kentucky during their rookie season. In 2009, Tennessee fell apart down the stretch in the loss at Kentucky and coach Pat Summitt had enough of the “take it for granted” attitude of her youngsters. Following that loss, she evicted the team from the locker room. You see, much is made of the Lady Vols palatial locker room in Thompson-Boling Arena. The team lost the right to use the locker room following back-to-back losses last season to #7/10-ranked Duke (Feb. 16, 2009, 62-54) and Kentucky (Feb. 19, 2009, 66-56). Following the Lady Vols win over at #12/17-ranked Virginia on Nov. 22, 2009, Coach Summitt announced in the post game talk to the team that they had earned their locker room back to thunderous cheers from the team. SEC TOURNEY TIDBITS The win over Kentucky in the SEC Finals gives UT 22 straight wins since its loss at Baylor on Dec. 14. It’s the seventh time all-time the Lady Vols have won 22 straight contests and ties for the fifth-most consecutive victories in Tennessee history. The Lady Vols have now won 19 consecutive SEC Tournament second round wins, dating back 1994. Against the Gators, junior Glory Johnson scored a career-best 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season and 21st of her career. She made a career-high 11 (of 16) free throws. She had only reached double figures once before in SEC Tournament play, scoring 11 in her SEC Tourney debut versus Alabama in 2009. SEC MEDIA DAY PREDICTION The Tennessee Lady Vols were predicted to finish first in a pre-season vote of the coaches and the league’s media members attending the Tip-Off 2011. The coaches accurately predicted Tennessee (#1), Kentucky (#2), Georgia (#4) and Auburn (#6). SEC ANNOUNCES 2011 HONORS After going undefeated in 2011 SEC play, the University of Tennessee Lady Vols swept the trifecta of
SEC Coach of the Year, Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors, announced the conference office on Mar. 1. Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt collected her eighth SEC Coach of the Year award, while junior forward/guard Shekinna Stricklen (Morrilton, Ark.) was named the 2011 SEC Player of the Year and guard Meighan Simmons (Cibolo, Texas) was tabbed as the 2011 SEC Freshman of the Year. Additionally, UT junior post Glory Johnson (Knoxville, Tenn.) was also selected to the eight player SEC First Team and was also placed on the SEC All-Defensive squad in a vote by the league’s 12 coaches. This marks the second time Tennessee has swept the top three conference awards after Summitt was named the 1998 SEC Coach of the Year, Chamique Holdsclaw was the 1998 SEC Player of the Year and Tamika Catchings was honored as the 1998 SEC Freshman of the Year. “I am so excited for, and proud of, Shekinna, Glory and Meighan,” Summitt said. “They have impacted our success in SEC play all season long and are very deserving of this recognition.” In her 37th season at the helm of the UT program, Summitt has accumulated 1,065 wins - more than any other Division I coach in the history of men’s or women’s college basketball. In addition to her eight NCAA Titles, eight SEC Coach of the Year Awards, seven NCAA Coach of the Year Awards and 18 NCAA Final Four appearances, the Henrietta, Tenn., native has coached 19 Kodak All-Americans, has a 100% graduation rate for student-athletes who exhaust their eligibility in Lady Vol uniforms and boasts two basketball courts and a gymnasium that bear her name. A junior for the Big Orange, Stricklen led her 2011 team in SEC scoring (13.8 ppg) while playing all five positions on the floor. Asked to play inside, she grabbed 8.4 rebounds per game in SEC contests. Need help at guard? She buried 43 percent of her three-pointers (25-57) while dishing almost two assists per game. Stricklen is the first Lady Vol to garner the award since Candace Parker in 2007. In addition to POY, Stricklen earned All-SEC First Team honors for the first time after placing on the Second Team in 2009 and 2010 and AllFreshman team in 2009. “Shekinna has been a multiple threat for us this season,” Summitt said. “I challenged her at the start of SEC play and she has really stepped up her game and played like an All-American.” Stricklen is joined on the All-SEC First Team by Johnson who is making her very first appearance since earning 2009 SEC All-Freshman honors. The 6’3” leaper was also named to the six player 2011 SEC AllDefensive Team. This season, Johnson was selected as the 2011 SEC Player of the Week four times and was UT’s second leading scorer in SEC games at 13.7 ppg while posting 10.3 rpg. Simmons has been a dynamo for the Lady Vols all season. The overall scoring leader at 13.8 ppg, she was third on the UT team in SEC scoring at 11.3 ppg while dishing 3.4 helpers per game. Simmons was selected as the 2010-11 SEC Freshman of the Week three times. In addition to her Freshman of the Year honors and SEC All-Freshman Team selection, she also earned a place on the All-SEC Second Team.

TENNESSEE 2011 SEC GREAT MELISSA McCRAY DUKES Lady Vol Basketball -- 1985-1989
The Tennessee Lady Vol basketball family learned on Monday, Dec. 27, 2010, that Melissa Ann McCray Dukes had lost her long and hard fought battle with cancer. She was 43 years old. Nicknamed “Emma” by her Tennessee teammates, McCray Dukes played on four consecutive NCAA Final Four teams (1986-87-88-89) and started as a guard on coach Pat Summitt’s first two national championship teams in 1987 and 1989. “Melissa was one of the most incredible people you could ever meet,” Summitt said. “She fought cancer with the same determination and tenacity she showed on the basketball court. She went into every single day of her life as a winner.” McCray Dukes lived in Knoxville and remained close to her former teammates over the years. It wasn’t unusual for her to drop by practice. When she played, her teammates called her the “mother hen.” Said Lady Vol teammate Sheila Frost on Feb. 11, 1989, “She kind of pulls us together as a family,” Frost said of McCray. “We need a core like that. She’s been called the mother of our team since she was a freshman.” McCray Dukes was special. Even when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2006, she wanted to fight it privately at first and not “burden anyone” with what she was going through. However, her friends and former teammates coaxed her into revealing her fight and she served as an inspiration to others. She was the guest speaker many times at churches, women’s cancer support groups and at the UT Cancer Institute. When the cancer returned in 2009, she shared the importance of always fighting to the young 2008-09 Lady Vol basketball team – “whether it was basketball or your life, you fight.” She was always the Lady Vol. Her teammates voted her as the “Best Defensive Player” for four consecutive seasons at UT. She didn’t throw up gaudy numbers in the box score but she was always the one to get a critical basket or make a game-changing play. She was a member of the first class of players (men or women), to play in the NCAA Final Four all four years of her career joined by Lady Vol classmates Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost. For her career, she scored 874 points, grabbed 376 rebounds and handed out 289 assists in 139 career games with 87 career starts -- she committed a total of just 164 turnovers in 2,892 minutes of play…an unmatchable statistic. She graduated from UT with a bachelor’s in political science in 1989 and was a longtime employee of Knoxville law firm Lewis, King, Krieg & Waldrop, P.C. She was the wife to the Rev. John Dukes and mother to daughter Stephanie McCray, 20, and son Chandler Dukes, 16, who are at the 2011 SEC Tournament.

UM, 66-39 32 SEC APPEARANCES The Tennessee Lady Vols’ 2011 appearance in the SEC Tournament is the school’s 32nd time to the mini-Final Four. This season marks the 30th time that UT has received a first round bye and the 16th trip as the No. 1 seed. The last two times the Lady Vols were the No. 1 seed? In 2007, they fell to LSU in the semifinals, 63-54, but rebounded to win the next six games and NCAA title No. 7. In 2010, they won the SEC Tournament title with a win over Kentucky, 70-62 and lost in the Sweet 16 to Baylor, 77-62. UT’s SEC TOURNAMENT W-L Since the tourney began in 1980, the Lady Vols sport the best overall record in the conference tournament. UT has produced a 66-17 (.782) record which breaks down this way: vs. Alabama (9-2), vs. Auburn (9-4), vs. Florida (8-0), vs. Georgia (9-3), vs. Kentucky (5-1), vs. LSU (7-4), vs. Ole Miss (5-1), vs. Miss St. (40), vs. South Carolina (2-0), and vs. Vanderbilt (8-2). The Lady Vols have never faced Arkansas. (The SEC Office record indicates that UT is 65-17 in SEC play. However, in the old format, there was a consolation game. In 1983, UT defeated Auburn, 83-75, in the consolation finals.) BOWING OUT EARLY There have been four trips to the SEC Tournament since 1980 when the Lady Vols didn’t even get to unpack their bags, losing in second round action after receiving a bye. In 1981, Alabama sent UT packing after a 77-71 loss; in 1984, Alabama again provided the honors with a 85-66 drubbing; in 1986, Ole Miss dealt UT a 83-78 loss, and in 1993, Georgia provided UT with an early exit from Chattanooga, 73-72. UT AND AUBURN FIND A WAY TO MEET In UT’s 83 all-time SEC Tournament games, Tennessee and Auburn have battled in over one-sixth of the contests or 13 games. UT sports a 9-4 record in SEC Tournament vs. Auburn.
TWO SEC TOURNAMENT MEETINGS WITH USC Whereas the Lady Vols have played Auburn more times than any other SEC school in the Tournament, Tennessee has faced South Carolina the least number of times (two games, 2-0) outside of never having faced Arkansas at all. Ironically, the first meeting with South Carolina was (previously) the ONLY time UT had to play on the Tournament’s first day – in 1997. That year, UT defeated USC, 75-48, beat LSU in overtime, 100-99, and lost to Auburn in the semifinals. The Lady Vols would not lose again that season winning the 1997 NCAA title with a 29-10 overall record. SIXTY IS SLICK The Tennessee Lady Vols recorded their 60th win all-time in the SEC Tournament with the win over #21/18 Florida, 71-67, on Mar. 6, 2009. In 2005, UT grabbed win number 50 with the victory over #18/17 Vanderbilt, 76-73, on Mar. 5, 2005. Vanderbilt is a distant second in all-time SEC Tournament wins with 42 and Georgia stands third with 41 wins all-time. 20 TIMES IN THE FINALS The Championship game against Kentucky in the 2011 SEC Tournament marked the Lady Vols 20th incredible trip to the final round of the nation’s toughest conference tournament. UT is 15-5 in all-time SEC Championship game games. In the 1990s alone, the Lady Vols were in the title game eight times (1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999) against five different SEC teams. In that decade, UT won titles in five of the years – 1999 vs. Georgia, 85-69, 1998 vs. Alabama, 67-63, 1996 vs. Alabama, 64-60 (without Chamique Holdsclaw due to a knee injury suffered in the opening minutes of play), 1994 vs. Vanderbilt, 82-57 and 1992 vs. Georgia, 73-66. The Lady Vols have won titles in 2011, 2010, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1996, 1994, 1992, 1989, 1988, 1985, and 1980. The Lady Vols amassed a 16-3 record in SEC games played in Chattanooga and brought home four titles from that venue (1994, 1996, 1999 and 2000). In three SEC Championships in Nashville, UT took one title home in 2008. DARING DOUBLES At the 2010 SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols accomplished something they had not done in 10 years, win the “daring double” of the SEC regular season and SEC Tournament titles -- in 2011, UT did it again. Prior to last season, the last time UT accomplished the double was in the 1999-2000 season when UT won its sixth all-time D-D. Years when the Lady Vols won dual crowns were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2010. Only three other SEC schools have ever won both titles: Georgia (1983, 1984 and 1986), Auburn (1981 and 1987) and Kentucky (1982). THE CENTURY MARK The Lady Vols have reached the century scoring mark four times in the SEC Tournament. In 1998, the Lady Vols derailed Vandy, 106-45. In the previous year, the Lady Vols scored 100 on LSU in overtime. Nine years earlier, in 1988, Tennessee nailed Kentucky for 100 points. And in the very first SEC Tournament game in 1980, Tennessee crushed Florida, 118-44. That Florida team was then coached by UT assistant head coach Mickie DeMoss. OUR SEC OVERTIME GAMES In 32 years and 83 games in the SEC Tournament, the Tennessee Lady Vols have been involved in just two overtime contests. In 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee and Georgia met in the semifinals on Mar.6. #20/16-ranked Georgia forced the overtime with the score knotted at 57-all. #1-ranked UT took a quick four-point lead but Georgia responded with a 7-0 run to take the 68-66 win and earned a trip to the

Tennessee NCAA Tournament Game Notes • Mar. 19 & 21 • First/Second Rounds title game. In Tennessee’s only other SEC overtime, in 1997, Tennessee snuck by LSU with a narrow 10099 victory in overtime in second round play. In the next game, a weary UT squad lost a heartbreaker to Auburn, 61-59, in semifinal action. The loss to Auburn was UT’s 10th on the season. It would be the last loss for the 1996-97 “Cinderella Season” team as they ran the table in the NCAA Tournament to claim NCAA title number five.
road winning streak. Two weeks later, UT also lost, this time at #6/5 Auburn and two weeks after that #11/13 Florida defeated the Lady Vols. Add another two weeks and another SEC road loss for UT, this time a 66-56 decision a the hands of the Kentucky Wildcats and a week later it was a road loss at LSU, 63-61. Last season, Georgia tagged the Lady Vols with a regular season SEC loss for the first time since the Bulldogs prevailed 78-51 on Jan. 17, 2000.
DOUBLE DIGIT SEC WINS Against Kentucky on Feb. 10, the Lady Vols went to double-digit victories in SEC play for a record 17th time. The victory over the Wildcats was Tennessee’s 10th on the season in SEC play. Last season, the Lady Vols won 15 games in the expanded SEC slate. All-time, the Lady Vols have registered double-digit victories in conference play since the 1991-92 season when SEC play first expanded, the Lady Vols have won at least 10 games in the following 17 years: 1992-10 wins, 1993-11 wins, 1994-11 wins, 1995-11 wins, 1998-14 wins, 1999-13 wins, 2000-13 wins, 2001-14 wins, 2002- 13 wins, 2003-14 wins, 2004-14 wins, 2005- 13 wins, 200611 wins, 2007- 14 wins, 2008-13 wins; 2010-15 wins and 2011-16 wins.
AMAZING AT HOME VS. THE SEC Since Tennessee began contesting games with SEC opponents, the Lady Vols have produced a 185-12 record in home games. Only six SEC teams have ever managed a victory 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 defeat UT at home in the 21st century.
UNDEFEATED FOR NINTH TIME The 2010-11 Lady Vols became the ninth Tennessee squad to go undefeated in SEC league play with a win over LSU. Historically, going undefeated in the SEC has not been kind to UT the following week in the SEC Tourney.

WE ARE STINGY, I TELL YOU Tennessee’s streak of holding 11 consecutive opponents below 40 percent shooting from the field ended at Kentucky when the Cats shot a sizzling 40.3 percent. The Lady Vols had held opponents from East Tennessee State (Dec. 22) to the Arkansas games (Jan. 30) to shooting just 30.4 percent from the field (223-734) while winning the 11 games by a margin of +30.3 ppg. UT picked up a below 40% game from Florida to start a new streak -- the Gators managed just 25% FG shooting in Knoxville on Feb. 10 and were followed with sub-40 games from Vandy (37%), South Carolina (34%), Georgia (25%), Ole Miss (31%) and LSU (31%). Florida snapped the latest streak with a 43.9% shooting afternoon against the Lady Vols in the SEC Tourney. SEC TEAMS WITH DOUBLE DIGIT WINS Three SEC schools holding double-digit wins over the Lady Vols all-time. Auburn has 10 wins against 34 losses and is joined by Georgia with 15 wins (against 41 losses) and LSU with 12 victories (against 41 defeats). Outside of these SEC schools, only four of Tennessee’s other 170 opponents have ever recorded double-digit wins over the Lady Vols. RARE SEC ROAD LOSSES FOR SUMMITT Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt’s teams rarely lose on the road in the SEC but 2008-09 was the exception with five losses on the road against just two wins. The loss to Vanderbilt on Jan. 11, 2009 was the 30th SEC road loss suffered by a Summittcoached Lady Vol team and halted a 17-game SEC
UT WINNING STREAKS VS. SEC TEAMS Tennessee 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 37, 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.

AGAINST THE SEC OPPOSITION In 16 SEC regular season contests, UT outscored its SEC opponents by 24.1 ppg...outrebounded by a +14.8 margin and connected on 46.8% of field goals (opponents just 31%) and 70% from the charity stripe. An area of concern was turnovers and steals where UT has committed 249 miscues and grabbed only 100 steals (124 for the opposition).
sists and four steals. Johnson scored or assisted on the Lady Vols’ first nine points, making a jumper in the lane and dishing assists on three other buckets. UT opened the game on a 9-0 run. At the 7:20 mark in the second half, Johnson grabbed a steal and attempted a dunk for the second time this season, but missed as it rimmed out. In the regular season finale against LSU, Johnson coupled solid offense with aggressive defense and secured her 10th double-double of the season and 20th of her career with 15 points and 16 boards as well as two blocks against LSU. She is the only player in the conference to capture the POW award four times this season. Johnson previously earned the honor this season on Nov. 29, Jan. 3 and Jan. 31. UT SWEPT WEEKLY SEC AWARDS The Lady Vols swept the Southeastern Conference’s weekly women’s basketball awards on Feb. 14 with junior Shekinna Stricklen earning SEC Player of the Week and freshman Meighan Simmons capturing the SEC Freshman of the Week honor. Stricklen averaged 17.0 ppg, 9.0 rpg and 1.7 spg in three wins. At No. 15/18 Kentucky on Feb. 7, the Morrilton, Ark., native recorded her eighth double-double of the season, tallying 20 points and 12 boards in the 73-67 victory. She followed with 17 points and six boards in the 61-39 win over Florida on Thursday before recording 14 points and nine boards in the 65-57 comeback win at Vanderbilt. She scored 12 points in the second half against the Commodores, as the Lady Vols erased a 13-point halftime deficit. The honor is Stricklen’s fourth career SEC POW award. She captured the accolade three times in 2009-10. Stricklen joins classmate Glory Johnson (three times) as Lady Vols that have won the SEC POW this season. Simmons was named the SEC Freshman of the Week for the third time of her inaugural campaign, after scoring 9.3 ppg and grabbing 1.7 rpg for the week. Against the Wildcats, Simmons scored 15 points and made some clutch shots down the stretch in the come-from-behind win in Lexington. Simmons’ three with 4:25 left in the game put UT ahead, 65-61. She also increased UT’s cushion to 71-67 with two clutch free throws with 15 seconds left in the contest. Against the Commodores, Simmons again was ice-in-the-veins, swishing a trey with 5:54 left in the game to give UT a 44-42 advantage – and its first lead since being up 5-2 at the 16:01 mark of the first half. She followed with a key steal and a fastbreak bucket two minutes later. She finished with nine points and three assists.
SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOUR TIMES Lady Vol junior forward Glory Johnson was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week for the fourth time this season on Feb. 28. She is the only player to have been selected for the top SEC honor more than twice in the 2010-11 season. In three wins last week, Johnson continued to shine for the Lady Vols turning in 14.0 ppg and 11.3 rpg in victories over #22 Georgia, at Ole Miss and LSU to conclude the regular season. In continuing to lead the Lady Vols in league play, Johnson averaged a doubledouble in SEC play with 13.7 ppg and 10.3 rpg. She’s the first Lady Vol since Candace Parker in 2006-07 to perform that feat in conference play. Against Georgia, Johnson became the 36th Lady Vol to score 1,000 career points on a free throw at the 13:26 mark in the second half. She finished with nine points and ripped down 9 rebounds. At Ole Miss in the rain shortened game, the Knoxville, Tenn., native made her first six shots and first four free throws. She finished with 18 points (on 7-of-10 shooting), nine boards, three as-
