FIRST MEETING VS. ALCORN STATE No. 20/15 Tennessee begins a threegame home stand on Sunday, as Alcorn State comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 2 p.m. tip-off. The game will be live streamed on UTSports.com All Access. This marks the first meeting between the Lady Volunteers and the Lady Braves, but UT is 3-0 all-time vs. schools from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). All three games were played in Knoxville. The most recent SWAC team to come calling was Alabama State, which dropped a 95-43 decision to the #4/4 Big Orange on March 22, 2003, in an NCAA First Round contest.
THE 411 ABOUT THE LADY BRAVES Alcorn State is coached by former Lady Vol Tonya Edwards, who is in her fifth season at the helm of the Lady Braves and sports a 40-81 record. Edwards, who was the 2011 SWAC Coach of the Year, played guard for UT from 198690 and helped the Lady Vols claim their first two NCAA titles in 1987 and 1989, earning Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors in 1987. ASU is off to an 0-3 start this season, falling at SMU (76-46), at Northwestern State (55-50) and vs. Central Arkansas (47-39). Senior guard Carolinsia Crumbly was the SWAC Freshman of the Year in 2010.
