THE PEPPERDINE GAME The #3/3-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols officially open the season on Sun., Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. (SportSouth) in Thompson-Boling Arena taking on a visiting Pepperdine squad in the season lid-lifter for both teams. The Lady Vols have a 34-3 record in opening day contests under Coach Pat Summitt. Tennessee has won the last 11 consecutive openers dating back to dropping a 69-64 decision to #6-ranked Louisiana Tech on Nov. 14, 1999, in Thompson-Boling Arena. Ironically, all three opening day losses came
at home. Summitt lost her very first game as a college head coach -- a heartbreaking onepoint decision in Alumni Gym to Mercer, 84-83, on Dec. 7, 1974. The next time UT lost an opening game was on Nov. 21, 1981, to #18-ranked Stephen F. Austin, 80-74, in Stokely Athletics Center. UT carries a 36-game home court winning streak into the game against Pepperdine. Pepperdine is the 186th all-time opponent to face the Lady Vols in women’s basketball
