Noting MTSU Tidbits This is MTSU’s third straight instate opponent. The Blue Raiders took a 74-55 victory over Tennessee Tech on Nov. 23 at home. MTSU traveled to ETSU and grabbed a 78-63 win on Nov. 26 and now wraps up with a visit to UT. Blue Raider head coach Rick Insell coached his 200th career collegiate game on Nov. 23 and picked up win No. 150 in the home opener against South Dakota State on Nov. 17 (a 59-49 victory). Insell is one of four head coaches in MTSU program history to reach the 150-win plateau and he attained the mark faster than any of the others, doing so in just 198 games. Sophomore Ebony Rowe, a Preseason co-Sun Belt Player of the Year and All-Sun Belt First Team pick, has posted three double-doubles in the first six games this season.
Our Last Meeting with MTSU On Nov. 25, 2009, at Middle Tennessee State, a new record crowd of 11,802 was on hand for the Thanksgiving eve clash at MTSU’s Murphy Center. It marked the first time in 30 years, the Tennessee Lady Vols traveled to Murfreesboro to face the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Sophomore Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols to a 69-52 victory with a (then) career high of 21 points and 12 rebounds. It was the Knoxville native’s sixth career double double and her second career 20-plus point performance. Lady Vol rookie Taber Spani converted a layup at the 18:50 mark of the first half and UT would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game. Tennessee finished the first 20 minutes on a 13-4 run and went into the locker room with a 35-24 lead. MTSU got to within 10 of the Lady Vol lead, 41-31, with 15:50 remaining on a three-pointer but UT responded with a three pointer of its own by Spani. In addition to Johnson, Angie Bjorklund and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen each tallied double figures. Bjorklund tossed in 16 points, while dishing out five assists and grabbing three steals.
Stricklen finished with 12 points, four assists and three rebounds. Helping clean up on the glass was redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain, who pulled down 11 rebounds. It was the first ever sellout for a women’s game, drawing a standing room only crowd of 11,802, just five spectators shy of the Murphy Center record of 11,807 for any game there.
The 4-1-1 on MTSU Middle Tennessee will be looking to extend its current two-game winning streak when it hits the road for Knoxville, Tenn. The Blue Raiders own a two-game win streak for the first time this season after they picked up a 78-63 triumph at ETSU Saturday. Ebony Rowe, posted her third double-double of the season and 19th of her career with 14 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. She also added a careerbest six steals. Junior Kortni Jones poured in a game-best 19 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers, while Icelyn Elie, chipped in 15 points and hauled in nine rebounds to give MT a trio in double-figure scoring. The two teams are playing again for the first time since Nov. 25, 2009, when Tennessee came to Murfreesboro and garnered its 11th-straight victory in the series. Leading scorer Kortni Jones and reserve KeKe Stewart will enjoy a homecoming game in Knoxville...the duo played their high school basketball at nearby Oak Ridge High School.

Fuller was a 6-3 forward who was a member of the 2007 and 2008 Lady Vol NCAA title teams. During her UT career, she played in 139 games and averaged 5.5 ppg and 3.8 rpg.

Head Coach Pat Summitt We Back Pat To coincide with National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month the matchup between the No. 6/7 Lady Vols and the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears on Sun., Nov. 27th was designated as the first of two, “We Back Pat” games. The Vols will also participate in a “We Back Pat” game in January, when Coach Cuonzo Martin and the Big Orange take on the Connecticut Huskies on January 21st (CBS). Thousands of fans wore the “We Back Pat” t-shirt to the Baylor game as 16,623 spectators were on hand. Shirts are still available at The UT Bookstore and Stokely Athletics Center stores, as well as area Food City and Walgreens. The shirts are $10, with $4.25 from every shirt going to research. In a halftime ceremony at the Baylor game, checked were presented to Alzheimer’s Tennessee and UT Medical Center, as the `We Back Pat’ T-shirts have already generated more than $150,000 in donations. The proceeds will help directly impact those living with the disease in the state of Tennessee.
Announcing the Pat Summitt Foundation Since sharing her diagnosis of dementia in late August, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt indicated she would like to start a foundation. Her foundation, The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund (www.patsummitt.org) was announced at halftime of the Baylor game on Nov. 27 in Knoxville. The aim of her Foundation is to make grants to non-profit organizations which provide education and awareness of Alzheimer’s, its onset and treatment; support services to patients, their families and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent,

Summitt Receives Courage Award The United States Sports Academy presented Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt its “Courage” award at the Pepperdine game on Nov. 13. Trustee emeritus of the USSA, Gene Policinski, was on hand in Knoxville to give Summitt one of the organization’s most prestigious honors -the Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias Courage Award. Citing that, Summitt, the seemingly unbeatable coach, has dementia and she vows to fight it, raise awareness and keep on coaching. The Courage Award is presented annually to an individual who demonstrates courageous action in overcoming adversity to excel in sport. This individual should exhibit the qualities of courage, perseverance, grace, and strength in sport achievement. Zaharias’ spirit and zest for life, as well as her courage, strength, and achievement, are the qualities for which this award is named. The Babe’s fight to overcome life-threatening cancer and then return to the winner’s circle in women’s professional golf has withstood the test of time.
see went on to a 30-5 overall record and captured the 1991 National Championship. Tennessee opened that season with a win over Stanford (the defending NCAA Champs)...lost by 13 at N.C. State...defeated Virginia Tech on the road ... then lost at Vanderbilt by 14 points.
More Baugh...The Warrior Tennessee redshirt senior Vicki Baugh put up season-high numbers for points and rebounds against Baylor with 17 and 11, respectively. With the double-digit efforts, Baugh posted her fourth career double-double and her first doubledouble since a 12-point, 15-rebound effort at Gonzaga (Dec. 30, 2008). Baugh wowed the crowd nailing her first career three-pointer in the contest sending a rainbow over Brittney Griner. Against Baylor, Baugh looked like the eager, scrubfaced rookie from the 2007-08 season before suffering two ACL injuries/surgeries. She logged 32 minutes in the heavyweight contest.
Control the Glass Tennessee has managed to do a nice job on the boards in the last two games despite two losses. Tennessee converted 28 second chance points against Baylor while surrendering only seven. Taking control of the glass will be a priority against MTSU. Blue Raider Ebony Rowe collects about one-fourth of all Middle rebounds at 10.3 rpg.

Ball Security or the Lack Thereof Tennessee has been its own worst enemy turning the ball over in the first four games of the season. UT committed a total of 24 turnovers in the loss to Virginia which led to 29 UVa points but did a little bit better job against Baylor with just 11 miscues leading to 14 Lady Bear points. On the season, UT has generated just 15.2 points off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 18.5 ppg off of Orange mistakes. UT leads in second chance points per game at 16.5 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.2 ppg each.
Free Throw Defense was Killin’ Us Against Baylor, UT appeared to be shooting FT’s better dropping in 73 percent of the opportunities In the previous games, UT has been very inconsistent from the charity stripe in the early going connecting on 68.2 percent (58-85). Free throws have felt like turnovers for some of the Lady Vols. Senior Glory Johnson has been sent to the line 25 times and connected on just 13 for a 52.0 accuracy rate.
Where have all the Handles Gone? And now for the no handles or feet-- the Lady Vols had trouble hanging onto the basketball or not walking with it at Virginia. UT turned the ball over a costly 24 times which resulted in 29 points for the Cavaliers. Eight of the miscues were called as “traveling.” To date, UT has nine more oops plays than the opposition (70-61).

TENNESSEE VS. MTSU NOV. 29, 2011 52.0 rpg to 26.5 rpg. UT started out the 2011-12 regular season hauling in 54 boards against Pepperdine while the Waves snagged 34. Tennessee fell off the rebounding wagon in the very next game as Miami controlled the glass collecting 45 boards to the Lady Vols’ 38 total rebounds. That was a vast improvement over UT’s 13-rebound deficit at halftime to the Hurricanes. UT corrected the rebounding problem against Virginia, 45-38, with Shekinna Stricklen collecting 14 boards. This season, the Lady Vols hold a +8.3 rebounding advantage, 48.0-39.8, in 2011-12. Last season, in 37 games, Tennessee was outrebounded only twice -- by Georgia Tech, 37-36 and vs. Kentucky in the SEC Tournament final, 46-41. Overall, the Lady Vols held a +12.4 rebounding advantage, 46.3 to 33.9, in 2010-11.
Streaking We were Streaking into 2011-12 The Lady Vols had a 38-game home court winning streak halted against Baylor on Nov. 27, 2011. It was the third longest in Lady Vol history. From Feb. 21, 1976 vs. Cumberland (a 90-42 win) until losing on Mar. 10, 1979 vs. Old Dominion (74-72), UT won 37 consecutive games. Tennessee’s best home court winning streak was 69 consecutive games from Feb. 2, 1991 to Jan. 6, 1996.
Lady Vol Streaks The Lady Vols last loss at home was against #1 Baylor, 76-67, on Nov. 27, 2011, since then UT has not played a home game. The last time UT lost on the road was on Nov. 20, 2011 at Virginia, 69-64 OT. Since then, UT has not played a road games. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Notre Dame, 73-59, in the 2011 NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2011. Since that time, UT has not played on a neutral court.
Shekinna Has It Going On Lady Vol senior Shekinna Stricklen has the nation’s longest starting streak entering the 201112 season. Stricklen has started 108 consecutive games and is joined in the elite club by a pair of players on upcoming UT opponent rosters. DePaul senior forward Keisha Hampton has started 107 consecutive games while Miami’s (Fla.) Shenise Johnson has been in the starting five for 105 consecutive games. Miami traveled to Knoxville for the State Farm TipOff on (a 92-76 loss). UT and DePaul meet in Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11 in the Maggie Dixon Classic.
TBA - The Place to Play Rocky Top, You’ll Always Be... Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky Top, Tennessee has already entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season averaging 82.7 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 69.6 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,640 fans per game.
Toughest Place To Play The University of Tennessee’s Thompson-Boling Arena is still the toughest women’s basketball arena in the nation to secure a win. The Lady Vols 6

have fashioned a 343-21 all-time record on “The Summitt” for a 94.45 winning percentage since the doors were opened in 1987.
to lead the NCAA. UT has a record of 73-3 all-time in 100-point games and a 51-0 record when hitting the century mark at Thompson-Boling Arena.
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 ThompsonBoling 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 343-21(.941) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 25-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10 flawless home records: in 1988-89 (15-0), 199192 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 2000-01 (15-0), 2002-03 (16-0), 2009-10 (17-0) and 201011 (17-0). UT also registered a former NCAA record 69game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.
Just 21 TBA Losses The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times. UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons. The 21 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 11 teams: Baylor (201), 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).
Home Sweet Home The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Summitt took over as head coach in 1974. Summitt has won 91.6 percent of all home games in 38 years producing a 494-46 overall record. Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athletics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in ThompsonBoling Arena.
On the Court 100 Point Games Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 76 times. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games
In Overtime Tennessee is 28-14 all-time in overtime games. UT’s most recent overtime affair was a 69-64 loss at Virginia on Nov. 20, 2011. The most OT games in a year was tied in 2003-04 with four as the Lady Vols went 3-1 in overtime losing to Georgia, 68-66, and defeating Auburn, 68-61, DePaul, 96-89, and Stanford, 70-66. It tied the mark set in 1996-97, when the Lady Vols were 3-1 in overtime contests losing to Georgia, 94-93, and defeating Texas, 68-65, Vanderbilt, 92-79 and LSU, 100-99. UT’s 22 points in the OT against Florida (2-3-05), was the most ever scored by the Lady Vols in a single overtime. UT’s most recent OT affair in Knoxville was a 8272 win over Stanford on Dec. 19, 2010.
Lady Vols Own All-Time Wins Mark Tennessee is the all-time wins leader in the NCAA with 1,173 victories. The next closest program all-time in terms of wins is Louisiana Tech, which owns a 1,000-212 record (entering the 2011-12 season). The Lady Vols boast a 1,173-255-2 (.827) all-time record.
Staffers Have, But Never a Player No former Lady Vol who has joined the collegiate coaching ranks has ever beaten Head Coach Pat Summitt.
Elite Company Rookie Starts A true rookie got a starting nod on the opening day of the 2011-12 season. When Coach Pat Summitt started freshman Ariel Massengale against Pepperdine in the opening game of the 2011-12 season, it marked only the 14th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very first game at Tennessee -- out of a total of 161 all-time Lady Vols who have played at UT. The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna 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 With Ariel Massengale getting the opening day start against Pepperdine, she became the 61st rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at UT. Last season, Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Cibolo, Texas, became the 60th rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Tennessee. The previous year, rookie Kamiko Williams (59th all-time) started against Arkansas while her classmate and 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. Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start during her freshman season –she
TENNESSEE VS. MTSU NOV. 29, 2011 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.
Glory -- 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. Last season, Glory Johnson flirted with the elusive double-digit and managed 9.7 rpg. Johnson started out the year with 13 boards against Pepperdine.
Johnson Could be the Fourth UT senior Glory Johnson needs just 98 rebounds to pass the 1,000 rebound plateau. Only three other Lady Vols have managed to grab 1,000 rebounds -- Chamique Holdsclaw (1,295), Sheila Frost (1,038) and Tamika Catchings (1,004). Six other UT players snagged over 900 career rebounds.
Lady Vol Honorees Stricklen Honored as AP A-A Lady Vol senior guard Shekinna Stricklen was selected as a First Team Associated Press Preseason All-American. Also joining Stricklen on the five player team were Baylor’s Brittney Griner, Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins, Stanford’s Nnemkadi Ogwumike and Miami’s Shenise Johnson. Tennessee and Stricklen will face each of those teams this season.
Johnson Named a Lowe’s Nominee Tennessee senior forward Glory Johnson has been named one of 30 women’s basketball nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, presented to student-athletes who excel on and off the field. Johnson is one of three nominees from the SEC. 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 CLASS award is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School and focuses on the total student-athlete. “Glory is an ideal candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award,” Head Coach Pat Summitt said, “blending the perfect balance of excellence in
the classroom, on the court and in the community. She is our first player ever to graduate in three years and that shows her dedication and discipline toward her academics.” Johnson captured All-SEC First Team honors in 2010-11 and was a finalist for the 2011 State Farm All-America Team. A Master of Science in Communication candidate, Johnson completed her undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Programs with a Concentration in Global Studies and a Specialization in Global Politics and Economy in only three years.
We Love a Happy Meal The Tennessee Lady Vols must lead the nation with the number of McDonald’s High School AllAmericans on their roster in 2011-12 with eight players. Tennessee’s McDonald’s All-Americans: Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning, Meighan Simmons, Shekinna Stricklen, Taber Spani, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale.

TENNESSEE VS. MTSU NOV. 29, 2011
2011-12 Archive Notes When Playing Number One Tennessee is 14-29 all-time when playing the nation’s number one ranked team. The Lady Vols are 3-10 in Knoxville, an even 6-6 on the road and 5-13 on neutral courts. UT is currently ranked number six in the AP poll. Tennessee is now 0-4 when trying to upset #1 from that position. UT is currently ranked number seven in the USA Today/ESPN poll. Tennessee is now 0-2 when trying to upset #1 from that position.
The Numbers Game Prior to the game versus Baylor on Nov. 27, the last time Tennessee played the nation’s number oneranked team was on Jan. 22, 2007 in Knoxville. The Lady Vols missed charity tosses down the stretch to lose 74-70 to top-ranked Duke after mounting a furious comeback rally. The Blue Devils opened the game with a nightmarish 19-0 run-out, as the Lady Vols fell into a 21-point hole (28-7 at 9:23 in the first half) before rallying to narrow the halftime deficit to 11 points (38-27). Free throw defense stymied Tennessee, as the Lady Vols connected on just 8-17 (.471) for the game. All-American Candace Parker managed just 1-7 from the free throw line.
Good Neighbors The 2011 meeting with Miami in the State Farm TipOff Classic marked the Lady Vols eighth appearance in the State Farm TipOff Classic and the fifth time to host the event. Tennessee now has a 6-2 record in TipOff games.
Making a Claim In the first TipOff in 1993, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt picked up her 500th career victory. In the TipOff in 1998, Purdue and Coach Carolyn Peck halted the Lady Vols school record 46-game consecutive winning streak. Tennessee’s last opening game home loss to start a season came against Louisiana Tech in the 1999 TipOff Classic, 69-64, as UT failed to convert free throws in the waning seconds. In Tennessee’s most recent TipOff appearance in 2009 in Knoxville, the Lady Vols spoiled Brittney Griner’s first collegiate game with a 74-65 victory over the Lady Bears.
Going into the Hall Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Nikki McCray Pinson will be a member of the 2012 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Class.

KNOXVILLE -- It took over two minutes for the first shot to finally fall. Pepperdine never led, but kept within two baskets until an 8-0 run capped by Meighan Simmons’ jumper with 10:32 left in the first half gave Tennessee a 20-9 lead. Summitt played her entire bench in the first half, including freshmen Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison, and the Tennessee reserves scored 20 points.
KNOXVILLE - Junior Taber Spani hit a game-high four three-pointers, but none bigger than the one she drained from the top of the key as the shot clock expired with 6:36 remaining in the game. The swish ignited an 11-0 Tennessee run and ultimately helped lift the No. 3 Tennessee women’s basketball team (2-0) to a 92-76 victory over No. 7 Miami (1-1) on Tuesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Shekinna Stricklen and Simmons each had 13 points, Taber Spani contributed 11 points and Briana Bass had 10.
The pair of top ten teams were tied, 42-42, at halftime before Tennessee scored the second half’s first nine points and 18 of the first 22 to take a 60-46 lead.
Pepperdine’s tough defense came at a cost. The Waves had 14 personal fouls in the first half, though the Lady Vols were uncharacteristically sloppy at the charity stripe, making just two of six foul shots before halftime.
But the Hurricanes came storming back, eventually getting as close as 73-68. That’s when Spani saved her best for her last shot.
Still, it forced Rousseau to go deep into her bench, which was responsible for just four points in the first half and 19 total. Jazmine Jackson had 17 points for the Waves, who shot 28.4 percent to the Lady Vols’ 49.2 percent shooting. Tennessee outrebounded Pepperdine 54-34, but couldn’t turn them into points. The Lady Vols gained control of the game with their 20 fast-break points and by sinking eight of their 10 3-point baskets in the second half. Summitt gave a starting nod to point guard Ariel Massengale, making her just the 14th Lady Vol to start her very first career game. The coach was so convinced of Massengale’s talent and frustrated by a lack of a bona fide point guard last season that she dubbed Massengale a starter back in March. Massengale sat for more than 13 minutes in the first half after picking up two fouls and finished with just one field goal, but had five assists to just one turnover and came up with two steals and three rebounds in 20 minutes.
After her three-pointer, the Lady Vols forced a shot clock violation on the other end, and freshman Isabelle Harrison scored her first points of the evening off of on an offensive rebound. Tennessee went on to score 19 of the game’s final 27 points to notch its second win in as many tries this season. After Miami’s Riquna Williams went off for 17 first-half points, UT limited her to just seven in the second. Although she finished with a game-high 24 points, the Lady Vols made her use 28 shot attempts to get there. Tennessee had five players in double-figures. Joining Spani were Meighan Simmons (18), Johnson (16), Shekinna Stricklen (15) and Ariel Massengale (11). Johnson also chipped in a team-high nine rebounds, while Massengale led the game with the second-highest assist total by a UT freshman all-time with nine. In the first half, it was the Hurricanes that got off to a strong start. After Baugh scored the game’s opening bucket on a layup, Miami went on a 10-2 run for its largest lead of the contest, 10-4. The Hurricanes made four of their first six three-point attempts, and led until a try from Simmons put the Lady Vols back ahead, 18-16, with 13:41 left in the first half. After UM’s Stefanie Yderstorm responded with a three-pointer of her own complemented by a Krystal Saunders layup, the Lady Vols scored eight consecutive points to take a 26-21 lead with 10:21 left in the first half and would not trail again. UT matched its biggest lead of the first 20 minutes, 38-31, on a jumper from Spani, who led the team with 13 first-half points. UM closed the first half with an 11-4 run to tie the score, 42-42.

The Cavaliers (4-0) came into the game allowing just over 42 points a game under first-year coach Joanne Boyle, and dictated the pace against a Lady Vols team averaging 90.5 points.
KNOXVILLE - The No. 6 Lady Vols led for much of the second half, but No. 1 Baylor took the lead late in the second half and went on to a 76-67 win before an electric crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena. The contest was the first “WE BACK PAT” game as the Pat Summitt Foundation was launched at halftime and $150,000 was presented to the Alzheimer’s Tennessee and the UT Medical Center with money raised from sales of “WE BACK PAT” shirts.
Taber Spani led the Lady Vols (2-1) with 22 points, including a 3-pointer 59 seconds into overtime that gave Tennessee a 61-58 lead, but the Cavaliers scored the next 11 points, the crowd at John Paul Jones Arena getting more excited with each basket.
Baylor All-American Brittney Griner scored 17 of her game-high 26 in the second half to lead the Bears’ comeback as they moved to 6-0. UT’s All-American Shekinna Stricklen led the Lady Vols with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Vicki Baugh also had 17 points and 10 rebounds.
China Crosby had 13 points and Ataira Franklin 12 for Virginia, which beat Tennessee for just the third time in 16 games. Lexie Gerson and Ariana Moorer each scored 10. Shekinna Stricklen had 16 and Glory Johnson 15 for the Lady Vols, who missed 10 of 21 free throws.
With the loss, the Lady Vols’ 38-game home win streak comes to an end as Tennessee falls to 2-2 overall. The last time UT started a season 2-2 was the 1990-91 season. That year, Tennessee went on to win its third NCAA Championship with a 30-5 record.
In the overtime, after Spani’s 3-pointer, Moorer hit a pair of free throws, and then a foul-line jumper, one of only three baskets she made in 16 tries. Shine followed a turnover the Tennessee with a short baseline jumper, and Crosby hit 3 of 4 free throws to make it 67-61.
Odyssey Sims (23 points) knocked down a 3-pointer with 7:20 left in regulation to give Baylor the lead it would never relinquish, 56-53. Glory Johnson (9 points, 11 rebounds) swooped in for a layup with 6:40 left to bring UT back within one at 56-55, but that was as close as it would be the rest of the way.
The Lady Vols never had an answer, and each time they failed to score and Virginia came away with the ball, the crowd of 6,450 at John Paul Jones Arena got louder and more excited.
Tennessee continued to pressure in the final minutes, but missed several shots as the Lady Vols shot just 29.3 percent in the game.
Stricklen had a chance to give the Lady Vols the lead near the end of regulation when she was fouled while scoring, but she missed the free throw, one of 10 misses in 21 tries for Tennessee. The Lady Vols also had 24 turnovers that the Cavaliers turned into 27 points.
Johnson made a pair of free throws with 2:02 left to bring UT back within four at 65-61. Griner answered with another lay-in with just two seconds left on the shot clock to give the Bears a 67-61 lead with 1:32 left in the game.
Crosby broke a 56-all tie with 36.6 seconds to go in regulation, hitting a desperate shot from the baseline with the shot clock running down. After a timeout, Spani calmly swished a 12-footer from the left baseline with 22.8 seconds to go, pulling Tennessee even again.
Baugh (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Stricklen both bombed a 3-pointers in the final 44 seconds, but it wasn’t enough as the Bears posted the win to drop the Lady Vols to 2-2.
Moorer’s last chance drive in regulation was cleanly blocked just before the buzzer. The Cavaliers tightened their defense and Tennessee continued to be sloppy early in the second half as Virginia opened the half on a 14-6 run. The Cavaliers led by as many as nine and by 47-40 when the Lady Vols began asserting themselves on the offensive glass and rallied. Tennessee scored eight straight points, taking its first lead since the first half, but Shine scored inside and Crosby’s three-point play boosted the Cavaliers’ edge back to 52-48. The Lady Vols pulled even three times, but only led once thereafter. Virginia used a 12-2 run to take a 24-20 lead in a sloppy first half. The Lady Vols turned the ball over at least seven times in the drought, and went almost 5 minutes without scoring. Spani, who hit the floor hard at one point and went back to the locker room, led Tennessee with 12 points in the half, and Gerson led the Cavaliers with eight.
The Lady Vols grabbed 55 rebounds, outboarding the Bears, 55-42, their most since the NCAA First Round win over Stetson last season, when they had 63. Taber Spani’s lay-up with 8:50 left, gave the Lady Vols a 53-50. Spani missed the ensuing free throw as part of an and-one as Baylor quickly answered. Griner converted a 3-point play seconds later to tie the game at 53 all. Baylor answered with a 7-0 run to come back within one points at 39-38 before Baugh layed one home for a 41-38 UT edge with 16 minutes left in the game. Baylor took a short-lived lead at 42-41 on a Griner lay-up with 15 minutes left in the second half. Spani regained the edge with a layup just 16 seconds later. The Lady Vols had a 17-2 run bridging the halves to build a lead of 39-31 with 17:39 left in the second half. Stricklen scored on a putback forcing Baylor to call timeout as UT took a sevenpoint lead (38-31) just 1:27 into the second half. Stricklen had eight of UT’s points in the spurt as the Lady Vols bounced back from a 29-22 deficit with four minutes left in the first half. Tennessee led 33-31 at intermission as Spani canned a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left in the half. Stricklen had 19 points and seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes while Brittney Griner was limited to nine points and just three rebounds. The Lady Vols dominated the glass in the first half, holding a 34-19 advantage. That included 18 offensive rebounds as UT shot just 25 percent.
