UA SERIES TIDBITS Tennessee leads the all-time series with Arkansas 23-1, dating back to the 1991-92 season, the Lady’Backs’ first in the SEC. Arkansas’ lone series win came at home on Dec. 29, 1996, a 77-75 victory over the Chamique Holdsclaw-led Lady Vols. Since then, UT has won 18 straight over Arkansas.

FIRST OT In 2007, Arkansas came close to spoiling Tennessee’s perfect run in the SEC with a near overtime upset in Fayetteville.

UT led 62-59 with less than 15 ticks left when an unguarded Dominique Washington put up a trey with nine seconds left and missed.

Arkansas teammate Tanisha Smith grabbed the offensive board and fed her again for the game-tying trey with 4 ticks to go.

In desperation, Candace Parker’s long attempt at the buzzer rimmed out.

In the OT, Tennessee’s only extra time game of the 2007 NCAA Championship season, the Lady Vols took immediate control and outscored UA 13-6 in the extra stanza.

AVERAGE SCORE The average score of a Tennessee vs. Arkansas game is UT 82.3 (1,975) and UA 60.7(1,458). Alltime, the Lady Vols average margin of victory over Arkansas is +21.6 points.

varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at her current institution and be nominated by her sports information director.

Johnson, a 6-3 athletic post, is a two-time SEC Player of the Week selection this season. The Knoxville native is averaging 13.5 ppg and 9.5 rpg while shooting 57.3 percent from the floor.

After earning her undergraduate degree in just three years, she has a 3.6 GPA in graduate school and is working toward her masters in communication studies.

After earning All-District First Team honors, Johnson and Spani are now eligible to advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot later this month.

For Real Rebounding

Chasing Chamique  Grad student Glory Johnson eclipsed 1,000 career rebounds at Arkansas and joined an exclusive club with three other Lady Vols.  Johnson immediately passed Tamika Catchings who had 1,004 caroms in nearly four full years of play.  Since then, the Knoxville native has also passed Sheila Frost (1,043 rebounds in 138 games).  Entering the game with Arkansas, Johnson has 1,115 career rebounds in 132 games.  She is chasing Chamique Holdsclaw who collected 1,295 rebounds in 148 career games.

Free Throw Defense

7-of-16 vs. Notre Dame & 18-for-31 Against LSU  UT made 16 trips to the charity stripe against Notre Dame and connected on a paltry seven tosses for 43.8 percent.  Tennessee might have defeated LSU by 20 points or more if the Lady Tigers free throw defense hadn’t been so tough.  The Lady Vols were an anemic 18 for 31 from the charity stripe for 58.1 percent.

I Swear We Practice  Making free throws has always been a team priority and some of the LSU misses came from normally reliable shooters.  Vicki Baugh went 2-for-6 from the line. She is a 72.7 career free throw shooter.  Since enduring a miserable 52.4 percent inaccuracy from the free throw line in the loss to Virginia in overtime, you’d think the Lady Vols had learned their lesson.  On the season, UT’s free throw percentage has yo-yoed from the 70 percent range to the present of 69.1 percent (405-586) .  Glory Johnson has been sent to the line a team high 154 times and connected on just 92 for a dismal 59.7 accuracy rate.

HomeWins for Summitt

Summitt at 500  With a 87-64 victory over Vanderbilt, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt collected her 500th career win at home.  Of the now 503 wins (thru the Kentucky victory), a total of 180 have come against ranked opponents in Knoxville.  Summitt has claimed victories in Alumni Gym, Stokely Athletics Center and Thompson-Boling Arena on the UT campus over the last 38 years.

And Summitt at 200

 The 87-64 victory over Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2011 was also another home milestone for Summitt...Her 200th SEC home win.

Things to Consider

Over 100,000  Tennessee eclipsed 100,000 fans at home games this season in just eight contests.  This is the 18th consecutive season UT has gone over 100,000 at home.  The Lady Vols have entertained 184,306 fans (14,177 average) in Thompson-Boling Arena in 2011-12.  The game versus Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2012 drew the highest total at home this season, 17,879.

No Secrets -- Even if We Tried  The Lady Vols have appeared on television in 25 of 27 games.  Every Tennessee game in the SEC package is slated for TV this year.  UT will have 27 of 29 regular season games on television this season.

Elite Company

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 is currently averaging 9.4 rpg.

Head Coach Pat Summitt

Amazing Summitt Numbers  Pat Summitt’s teams have faced 164 different opponents in 1,297 total games and teams from 35 conferences  46% of her 1,297 total games have been played versus ranked teams (601 total games against ranked opponents) with 438 victories versus ranked opponents  161 all-time Lady Vols have contributed to 1,091 wins.  72% of those all-time players have gone on to be decorated as Olympians, All-Americans, USA National Team members, All-SEC performers, Academic All-Americans, Academic All-SEC, etc.

NCAA’s Ford Award  Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was the recipient of the 2012 NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award.  Summitt was recognized during the opening business session on Jan. 12 at the 2012 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.  The Lady Vols played at Kentucky, so Summitt addressed the Convention attendees in a taped video message and Joan Cronan accepted the award on Summitt’s behalf.  Announced on Dec. 6 the award is named in recognition of former President Gerald Ford, honors an individual who has provided significant leadership as an advocate for intercollegiate athletics over the course of their career.  NCAA President Mark Emmert said her contributions to intercollegiate athletics over almost four decades go well beyond one sport.  “Coach Summitt has been recognized numerous times for her contributions to women’s basket-

TENNESSEE VS. ARKANSAS  FEB. 23, 2012 ball – and rightly so,” Emmert said.  “The Ford Award honors her for what she has meant to intercollegiate athletics through her career and for the positive example she continues to set today. “ Former Players Compile a Memory Book  After hearing of Tennessee Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt’s diagnosis of early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type, Chamique Holdsclaw reached out to players spanning all decades of Lady Vol basketball to compile a “memory book” for their coach.  Holdsclaw, a four-time Lady Vols All-American from 1995-99, contacted former Lady Vol players, managers and staffers asking them to share written memories, Summitt’s influence on their lives, and photos of their time in the program.

The Astoria, N.Y., native then compiled all of the submissions into a book.  “I know my relationship with Coach Summitt through the death of my grandmother and me going through my ups and downs battling depression,’’ said Holdsclaw. “What I realized from these letters is coach has helped these players through some of the most difficult times of their lives. When I’m reading them, I’m thinking, ‘Wow she’s had such an impact on all of our lives and just not basketball.’ “  A collection of former players and managers met with Summitt prior to the UT game against Old Dominion and presented her the book.  Summitt was overwhelmed. “It’s really hard to surprise Pat,’’ Holdsclaw said. “She was really excited and very touched by the book.”

Maggie Dixon Award  Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt was presented with the Maggie Dixon Courage Award at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11, 2011.  The Award is presented annually to an individual who exhibits courage in the face of adversity and continues to exemplify Maggie’s mantra of never allowing adversity to get in the way of achieving a dream.

Sports Illustrated Sportswoman for 2011  As the all-time winningest coach in NCAA collegiate basketball, University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt has won her fair share of awards over the past 38 years.  On Dec. 5, 2011 Summitt joined an elite group of sports superstars when it was announced by Time Inc. Sports Group editor Terry McDonell that she, and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, were the 2011 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year.  On Tues., Dec. 6 Summitt and Krzyzewski were feted at a celebration in New York City and were joined by fellow Sportswomen and Sportsmen Chris Evert (1976), Sugar Ray Leonard (1981), Wayne Gretzky (1982), David Robinson (2003) and David Ortiz (2004).  Summitt and Krzyzewski, the NCAA’s all-time winningest women’s and men’s basketball coaches, joined an elite group of sports immortals, including Muhammad Ali, Arthur Ashe, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, Billie Jean King, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Orr and Pete Rozelle to receive this award.  The magazine’s editors have chosen each honoree based on the principles established in 1954, when runner Roger Bannister was honored as SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’s first Sportsman: “While the victory may have been his or hers, it is not for the victory alone that he or she is honored.

Rather, it is for the quality of their effort and manner of their striving.”  Summitt and Krzyzewski join UCLA’s John Wooden (1972) and North Carolina’s Dean Smith 8

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.

Off the Glass

Rebounds Win Championships  Coach Pat Summitt’s mantra of defense and boards has been a staple of her nearly four decades of coaching.  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.  Since losing the battle of the boards to Miami, Tennessee had not be outrebounded again until it faced UCLA on Dec. 17 and Stanford on Dec. 20.  A month later, Notre Dame turned the trick outrebounding UT, 44-35.  On Feb. 5, Auburn’s eight team rebounds resulted in a 42-39 rebounding edge.  In the very next game, Vanderbilt controlled the boards 41-27.  Overall this season, the Lady Vols have been outrebounded six times and hold just a +8.4 rebounding advantage, 44.0-35.5.  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.

Tennessee’s all-time home court winning streak is 69 consecutive games from Feb. 2, 1991 to Jan. 6, 1996.

Lady Vol Streaks  The Lady Vols last loss at home was against unranked South Carolina, on Feb. 2, 2012, since then UT is 2-0 at home.  The last time UT lost on the road was on Feb. 9, 2012 at Vanderbilt, 93-79. UT is 2-0 on the road since then.  The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Notre Dame, 73-59, in the 2011 NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2011. Since that time, UT is 1-0 on a neutral court.

TBA - The Place to Play

Rocky Top, You’ll Always Be...  Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky Top, Tennessee has entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season averaging 83.4 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 51.7 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 14,177 fans per game.

Toughest Place To Play  The University of Tennessee’s Thompson-Boling Arena is still the toughest women’s basketball arena in the nation to secure a win. The Lady Vols have fashioned a 352-22 all-time record on “The Summitt” for a 94.45 winning percentage since the doors were opened in 1987.

Welcome to “The Summitt”  The playing court in the Thompson-Boling Arena on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season.  After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, “The 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 352-22(.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), 199495 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 200001 (15-0), 2002-03 (16-0), 2009-10 (17-0) and 2010-11 (17-0).  UT also registered a former NCAA record 69game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.

Just 22 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 eight times.  UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06, 2008-09 and 2011-12 seasons.  The 22 all-time losses at TBA have come at the

hands of just 12 teams: South Carolina (2012), Baylor (2011), 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 503-47 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 22 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 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.

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 1,185 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 1,185-263-2 (.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.

2011-12 Archive Notes

Final SEC Regular Season Road Swing Started at The Hump  Tennessee picked up SEC win number 10 on the season at Mississippi State on Feb. 16, 2012, 5741.  All-time, the Lady Vols have registered doubledigit victories in conference play an incredible 18 times, and 14 times in the last 15 years since conference play expanded.

Continued at the “Tad Pad”  UT closed out the road portion of the SEC schedule with a tough 66-56 win over Ole Miss on Feb. 19 for SEC win number 11.  Tennessee has now fashioned a 23-game winning streak over Ole Miss dating back to the 1995-

96 season.  The last time UT lost in Oxford was on Feb. 4, 1996, 78-72.  It was a “meltdown” game for then Tennessee senior Michelle Marciniak who vowed that the Lady Vols would not lose again.  “Spinderella” was right. UT won 15 straight to claim the 1996 NCAA title following the loss to the Lady Rebels.

Vandy Post-Mortem That 90 Thing  On Feb. 9, Vanderbilt was the second team in 2011-12 season to hang 90 points on the Lady Vols.  The Commodores dealt UT a 93-79 loss in Nashville.  Stanford was the first to post a plus-90 score when the Cardinal defeated Tennessee 97-80 on Dec. 20, 2011 in Palo Alto, Calif.  The last team to drop 90 on the Big Orange was Florida on Feb. 26, 2006. That game gets a Major League asterisk since it was a 95-93 overtime win for the Gators in Knoxville.

Defense Wins Games  Other than this season and the 2006, 90 point game, you have to venture back to the “Cinderella Season” of 1996-97 for the last multiple 90 point games by the opposition.  Tennessee, the eventual 1997 NCAA Champions with a 29-10 overall record and an 8-4 record in the SEC, had three opponents score 90 or more points that season.  Georgia took a 94-93 overtime win on Dec. 8, 1996 in Knoxville...Louisiana Tech claimed a 98-80 victory in Ruston, La., on Feb. 24, 1997...and UT prevailed in a 100-99 overtime win over LSU in the SEC Tournament on Mar. 1, 1997.  That team lost 10 games but it never lost its heart and desire to compete for a championship.

Upset Special Unranked South Carolina  When South Carolina defeated Tennessee, 64-60, on Feb. 2, it marked the second loss in the 2011-12 season to an unranked team.  All-time, UT coach Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols have lost to just 39 unranked teams in 38 years (overall, 652-39 for .945).  In 2008-09, the Lady Vols were ambushed by three unranked teams: at Kentucky (66-56), at LSU (63-61) and vs. Ball State (71-55).  South Carolina is only the second unranked team to collect a win over the Lady Vols in the 25-year history of Thompson-Boling Arena.  Unranked Florida defeated #5-ranked Tennessee, 95-93 in overtime on Senior Day in ThompsonBoling Arena on Feb. 26, 2006.

Breaking into Our House Better Set an Alarm  Before South Carolina upended Tennessee 64-60 on Feb. 2, the Lady Vols had won 28 consecutive SEC games in Thompson-Boling Arena dating back to 2008.  Top-ranked Baylor also defeated Tennessee in Knoxville earlier this season by a 76-67 score on Nov. 27, 2011.

Two Thompson-Boling Losses in a Single Season  The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home.  In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, 25-years ago, UT has lost two games in one season just eight times now that South Carolina managed the upset.  UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign and then in: 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06, 2008-09 and now the 2011-12 season(s).

Just 22 TBA Losses for the Lady Vols -- All-Time  The 22 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 12 teams: South Carolina (2012), Baylor (2011), 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).

UT’s SEC Streak was Snapped by USC  Before South Carolina upended Tennessee 64-60 on Feb. 2, the Lady Vols had won 28 consecutive

TENNESSEE VS. ARKANSAS  FEB. 23, 2012 SEC games in Thompson-Boling Arena dating back to 2008.  Before the USC loss, UT’s last SEC home loss was to #7-ranked LSU on Feb. 14, 2008, 78-62.

Rewind to January 12, 2012, 6:59 p.m.

Inconsistent Since Then  Tennessee entered the game at Kentucky on Jan. 12, 2012, sporting a 12-3 overall record and a 3-0 mark in the SEC.  The Lady Vols had won 36 consecutive SEC games dating back to a loss at Georgia in Jan. 2010.  Prior to the UK game, UT had won five consecutive games since the loss at Stanford.  During that five-game winning streak heading into the Kentucky game, UT outscored the opposition 80.4 to 45.0 (a +35.4 winning margin) and controlled the boards 51.4 to 29.4 rpg...a +22.0 rebounding advantage.

Bad Pattern Since the UK Loss  Since UT dropped the heartbreaking 61-60 game at UK on Jan. 12, the Lady Vols have developed a bad pattern.  After the UK loss, Tennessee bounced back to win a pair (over Vandy and LSU at home) and then lost to Notre Dame on the road.  After the Notre Dame loss, Tennessee regrouped to defeat Alabama and Georgia on the road.  That winning streak was halted by South Carolina in Knoxville and UT rebounded to defeat Auburn But lost in the very next game at Vanderbilt.  Tennessee has gone just 5-4 over the last month.

Telling Numbers Inside the 5-4 Record over the Last Month  Tennessee is shooting 42.9 percent from the field and the opposition is tossing in 41.2 percent of its shots.  Tennessee is averaging 70.0 ppg and giving up 64.1 ppg.  Perhaps the most telling stat is rebounding where the Lady Vols have averaged just 38.6 to 38.1 rpg for the opposition-- uncharacteristic +0.5 advantage.  Senior All-American Shekinna Stricklen has struggled from the field connecting on 41.8 percent of her shots and just 25.8 percent of her three-point attempts.  Glory Johnson has been very challenged at the charity stripe with a team low 46.8 percent (2247).  On the bright side, rookie Ariel Massengale has logged a team high 32.9 minutes per game during this stretch handing out 52 assists while committing 24 miscues (296 minutes).  Sophomore Meighan Simmons is shooting the ball a tad better connecting on 37.2 percent of her shots and 35 percent from three-point land.

Play 4 Kay Honoring Kay Yow  The Tennessee vs. Kentucky game is UT’s Play 4 Kay night, formerly known as the Pink Zone, an initiative of the WBCA to promote breast cancer awareness.  UT has dubbed the game “Think Pink. Bleed Orange.”  By way of 12,000 t-shirts in the seats of the arena, an alternating pink/white checkerboard will be formed.  One side of the arena will spell out “Lady Vols” and on the other side, “Live Pink.”  Both will be anchored by breast cancer ribbons.

Remembering our Lady Vols  Tonight’s game for breast cancer awareness takes on additional significance for Lady Vol basketball.  We celebrate Director of Lady Vol basketball Character Development Daedra Charles-Furlow continued good health after battling breast cancer and becoming a survivor.  And we remember one of our own who lost her lost her fight with breast cancer on Dec. 27, 2010.  Melissa McCray Dukes, nicknamed “Emma” by her Tennessee Lady Vol basketball teammates, played on four consecutive NCAA Final Four teams (198687-88-89) and started as a guard on coach Pat Summitt’s first two national championship teams in 1987 and 1989.  McCray Dukes was posthumously honored as the “SEC Great” from Tennessee last March at the 2011 SEC Tournament.

Five in Double Figures at Home

 Five Lady Vols have posted double figure scoring in games at home this season.  Shekinna Stricklen leads the way at 13.7 ppg, while Glory Johnson adds 13.5 , Ariel Massengale 10.5, Meighan Simmons 10.3 and Taber Spani 10.2 ppg.

More Home Trends  Tennessee is just a shade off on its home rims connecting on 43.4 percent from the field versus 43.6 on the road.  Vicki Baugh enjoys the TBA baskets the most connecting on 63.9 percent of her shots.  Sophomore Meighan Simmons is a bit “basket challenged” at home making just 29.6 percent of her shots.  As a rookie, Simmons made 46.2 percent of her shots from the field on The Summitt last season.  At home this year, the Big Orange outscores the opposition by +22.5 points and has a +13.9 rebounding edge with a 9-2 record.

Carla McGhee Knows TBA  Auburn assistant coach Carla McGhee knows her way around Thompson-Boling Arena.  As a forward/center wearing number 24 for the Lady Vols from 1986-90, McGhee was a member of the 1987 and 1989 NCAA Championship teams.  The 6’3” Peoria, Ill., native averaged 6.1 ppg and 5.1 rpg while appearing in 101 Lady Vol games.  McGhee was a Lady Vol fan favorite. After after a serious car accident just before the start of her sophomore season, where almost every bone was broken in her face and her hip was shattered, she returned to the line-up the following year.  She was a member of the 1996 USA Olympic Team and proudly owns a gold medal.

Former UT Players & Staffers in Coaching Tough W’s against Summitt  The roll call goes like this: Sylvia Hatchell, Sharon Fanning, Jane Albright, Lea Henry, Nancy Darsch, Trish Roberts, Mickie DeMoss, Matthew Mitchell, Kellie Jolly Harper , Tanya Haave and Nikki Caldwell.  UT coach Pat Summitt has faced many former players and assistant coaches in a variety of games thru the years as opposing head coaches, but no former Lady Vol player has ever knocked off her mentor as a head coach.  Former assistant Carolyn Peck was the first to record a victory over her former boss. While at Purdue, Peck handed Summitt a 78-68 loss on Nov. 15, 1998 in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic in West Lafayette, Ind. The defeat snapped UT’s 46-game consecutive winning streak (that was second only to Louisiana Tech’s NCAA all-time 54-game winning streak).  Former assistants Mickie DeMoss and Matthew Mitchell turned the winning trick as head coaches at Kentucky, (DeMoss 66-63, on Jan. 26, 2006 and Mitchell 66-56 on Feb. 19, 2009 and 61-60 on Jan. 12, 2012 -- all in Lexington), and Sylvia Hatchell managed to pull off the feat twice at North Carolina (75-63 on Mar. 28, 2006 and 70-57, Dec. 3, 2006).

Facing Coach Summitt  Former Lady Vol players turned head coaches have been less successful. Former Lady Vol AllAmerica Patricia Roberts tried while head coach at Maine (0-2, lost 77-64 on Dec. 13, 1990 and 8671 on Nov. 24, 1991).  Former Lady Vol Olympian and point guard Lea Henry faced Summitt in the NCAA Tournament with her Georgia State team and lost 98-68 on Mar. 15, 2002.  Next to try to knock off Summitt was Kellie Jolly Harper with her Western Carolina team on Mar. 20, 2005. The Lady Catamounts lost 94-43.  UT All-American and then San Francisco head coach Tanya Haave. “LaMachine’s” Dons fell to UT on Nov. 15, 2008, 68-39. A little over a week later, Harper’s WCU team fell to Summitt’s Lady Vols, 8356, on Nov. 25, 2008.  The next player to try the knock-off was then UCLA skipper Nikki Caldwell who lost 61-47 on Nov. 28, 2009 in TBA to the #6/5 Lady Vols.  Caldwell once again attempted to defeat both her former coach and boss when her LSU Lady Tigers visited Thompson-Boling Arena on Jan. 19.

 In a battle, the Lady Vols prevailed 65-56.

Current Collegiate Head Coaches  Nikki Caldwell is one of 10 Lady Vol players who are now serving as head college coaches.  Also in head coaching roles are: Jody Adams (UT 1989-93) at Wichita State; Niya Butts (UT 19962000) at Arizona; Tonya Edwards (UT 1986-90) at Alcorn State; Teresa Geter (UT 1997-99) at Denark (S.C.); Tanya Haave (UT 1980-84) at Metro State (Colo.); Gwen Jackson (1999-2003) at St. Paul’s College (Va.); Kellie Jolly Harper (UT 1995-99) at N.C. State; Lea Henry Manning (UT 1979-83) at Darton College (Ga.), and Semeka Randall (UT 1997-2001) at Ohio University.

Current Collegiate Assistant Coaches  Nine Lady Vols are in current assistant coaching roles in the college game including at least one each on the sidelines in the Auburn, Kentucky, South Carolina and LSU games.  Holly Warlick (UT 1976-80) is the associate head coach at Tennessee. On the Auburn bench is Carla McGhee (UT 1986-90); Kentucky bench are Kyra Elzy (UT 1996-01) and Shalon Pillow (UT 1998-02); the South Carolina bench, Nikki McCray (UT 199195) and the LSU bench, Tasha Butts (UT 2000-04) who is in her first season at LSU with Caldwell.

Wooden Award Mid-Season List Two Lady Vols Named  The John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 20 was announced by The Los Angeles Athletic Club on Jan. 27 and Tennessee Lady Vols Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen earned spots on the elite list.  In addition to Tennessee, four other schools had two players chosen: Notre Dame (Diggins and Natalie Novosel); Stanford (Nneka Ogwumike and Chiney Ogwumike—the first pair of sisters ever named to the midseason list); Baylor (Griner and Odyssey Sims) and Connecticut (Bria Hartley and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis).  Six players from the Wooden Award ballot in 2011, including Stricklen, return to the midseason Top 20 in 2012.  They include Griner and Nneka Ogwumike, Georgetown’s Sugar Rodgers, Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins, Shenise Johnson of Miami. Ohio State’s Samantha Prahalis was on the ballot in 2010, along with Stricklen, Nneka Ogwumike and Delle Donne.

Turning Point?

Line-up Shake-up  Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt decided to tweak the line-up in the game at Alabama on Jan. 26.  Earning her first career start was freshman Cierra Burdick.  Burdick became the 62nd player in Lady Vol history to start during her freshman campaign. Fellow freshman Ariel Massengale was No. 61 on that list, starting the first game of the season versus Pepperdine.  Also receiving the starting nod was senior Briana Bass who started for the first time this season and the 15th time in her career.

Shekinna’s Number was Not Called  Lady Vol senior Shekinna Stricklen had the nation’s longest starting streak entering the 2011-12 season.  Stricklen started 121 consecutive times before sitting out the LSU game due to injury.  She started the very next game against Notre Dame to up her starts to 122 in a LV uniform.  Alabama marked the first time in her Lady Vol career she did not start a game when she was available to play.

What ‘Cha Got Rookie?

Burdick Makes the Most of her Opportunity  Rookie Cierra Burdick is the first one in the gym and the last one to leave.  Against LSU, all of her extra hard work paid off as she logged a career high 31 minutes en route to dropping in 15 points and grabbing six rebounds.  She started the second half for Glory Johnson who suffered a shoulder injury.  Even when Johnson returned, the Lady Vol coaching staff elected to keep UT’s AutoZone Player of the Game on the floor.

She was the Dish SEC Player of the Week  After breaking the Lady Vol record for rookie assists on Jan. 15, Tennessee guard Ariel Massengale was tabbed for the SEC Women’s Basketball CoFreshmen of the Week honor on Jan. 16.  Massengale shared her achievement with LSU freshman forward Krystal Forthan.  In two games against ranked SEC opponents, Massengale averaged 6.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 8.5 apg, while playing 35.5 mpg in the team’s split with a loss at #9/8 Kentucky (61-60) and a win over #25/24 Vanderbilt (87-64).  Massengale had her “assistfest” against Vanderbilt dishing out 12 scoring passes while adding six points, two rebounds and a couple of steals.  The dozen helpers against the Commodores breaks the previous mark set by Meighan Simmons (11 assists vs. Alabama 1/6/11).  Her 12 assists also tied for the fifth-most in UT history with current associate head coach Holly Warlick who had 12 assists against Clemson in 1980.  Previously, Massengale was tabbed as the SEC Freshman of the Week on Dec. 5 and joins UT grad student Glory Johnson for dual Lady Vol conference honors. Johnson was named as the SEC Player of the Week on both Jan. 2 and 9.

Broke Rookie Record  Freshman Ariel Massengale broke the Lady Vol rookie record for assists with 12 against Vanderbilt on Jan. 15.  Massengale eclipsed the previous record of 11 assists set by Meighan Simmons against Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011.

We Bounced Back...Again Loss Number Four  After almost completing a comeback victory over Kentucky, but missing by a bucket, the Lady Vols regrouped from a loss for the fourth time this season and defeated Vanderbilt, 87-64.  The last time UT took (at least) four losses on the year was the 11 “L” season in 2008-09.

Joined the Club 1,000 Career Rebounds -- After Glo Grabbed Four  Grad student Glory Johnson grabbed her fourth rebound in the first half of the game against Arkansas and went over the 1,000 rebound threshold for her career.  She became just the fourth Lady Vol in the history of the program to have 1,000 career points and 1000 career rebounds.  Johnson joined Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings in the exclusive club.  She enters the game with VU sporting 1,017 career boards.  She ranks third on the list behind Holdsclaw with 1,295 (148 games) and Frost with 1,043 in 138 games.  Johnson has 1,017 in 121 games to rank ahead of Catchings with 1,004 in a career-shortened (senior year ACL injury) 127 games.

We had Picked Up the Pace Five Games between the Stanford & UK losses  Since losing at #4-ranked Stanford and before losing to #9/8-ranked Kentucky, the Lady Vols had stepped up.

 Glory Johnson was the scoring and rebounding leader for the team during this stretch averaging 15.4 ppg and 12.8 rpg.  Rookie Ariel Massengale connected on 59.5 percent of her shots from the field and contributed 12.0 ppg and 4.6 apg.

Another Graybeard Game  The game versus Georgia came against another coach with lots of W’s.  Already this season, UT coach Pat Summitt coached in “graybeard games” against Rutgers’ C. Vivian Stringer and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer.  Both coaches entered the contest against UT with over 800 career victories -- Stringer with 872 and VanDerveer with 833.  Georgia coach Andy Landers is a member of the 800 club with 867 wins on his resume.  Summitt and Landers have a combined 1,948 wins heading into the Georgia game on Jan. 5.  The Tennessee Lady Vols have now produced a 28-5 opening day record in SEC play dating back to the 1979-80 season.  UT is 14-2 in home SEC openers and 14-3 on the road.  Georgia (1984 and 1996) and Auburn (1988 and 1989) each ambushed the Lady Vols in two SEC opening games, while Vanderbilt turned the trick in 1990.  The Lady Vols have not dropped an SEC opener since 1996 when Georgia escaped with a 94-93 overtime victory in Knoxville on Dec. 8, Flirting with Double-Doubles  Tennessee had four players poised to record a double-double against Georgia on Jan. 5.  In the end, substitutions dictated that Glory Johnson would be the only player to end up with one registering 22 points and 13 rebounds.  Rookie Ariel Massengale tossed in 19 points and recorded nine assists.  Shekinna Stricklen had 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.  Vicki Baugh lacked one bucket to tally a doubledouble finishing with eight points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

It marked UT’s first trip to The Garden.  The game was played before the largest crowd to ever see a women’s collegiate basketball game in the Garden, 15,735.  The trip was billed as the NYC homecoming for Holdsclaw who hailed from Astoria in Queens.  Second-ranked UT had little trouble with the No. 15/13-ranked Scarlet Knights winning 68-54 on Jan. 3, 1999.  The next visit was a meeting between #2 ranked Tennessee, who was trying to rebound from a loss at UConn, and #9/10-ranked Rutgers, in a defensive struggle in Madison Square Garden on Jan. 2, 2001, as the Lady Vols won 58-51.  In the 2001 game at MSG, Lady Vol senior AllAmerican Tamika Catchings was forced to wear the “blood jersey” (number 55), after her number 24 orange road jersey turned up missing when the UT managers did the team laundry after the game versus UConn in Hartford.

No. 4/3-ranked Tennessee defeated the Scarlet Knights, 68-54, on Dec. 13.

Maggie Dixon Classic Classic Notes  This marks the second time the Lady Vols have participated in the Maggie Dixon Classic.  Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt is the 2011 recipient of the Maggie Dixon Courage Award. Summitt will be honored by the Dixon family during a second half time out in the Classic’s first game between Baylor and St. John’s.  Ironically, the last game Maggie Dixon ever coached at Army was against Tennessee. In 2006 Tennessee, Army, Old Dominion and George Washington were all bracketed together in Norfolk, Virginia, for NCAA First /Second Rounds.  The night before the Tennessee vs. Army contest both coaching staffs found themselves dining at the same Virginia Beach seafood restaurant.  Basketball talk ensued that evening and the next day the two teams met on the court.  The game won’t be remembered as Army’s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament under a rookie head coach but as the game in which Tennessee redshirt freshman Candace Parker dunked twice as the Lady Vols won going away, 102-54 on March 19, 2006.  The next week, the Lady Vols met Rutgers in the Sweet 16 in the Cleveland Regional (a 76-69 win) but lost to North Carolina in the Regional Championship, 75-63.  Sadly, Maggie Dixon passed away after the Final Four in Boston on April 6, 2006.

The Woodstock, Ga., native plans to pursue a master’s in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sport Psychology.  Manning was joined at graduation by her parents, Jeff and Virginia Manning, as well as Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt.  Following graduation in Thompson-Boling Arena, she dashed to the locker room where she signed the Lady Vol graduation pillar, adding her name

near Candace Parker’s and continuing the 100 percent graduation among UT hoopsters.  Manning then joined her teammates in Pratt Pavilion for practice before heading to the Big Apple.

Heading in the Right Direction  Tennessee halted a two-game losing streak taking a 82-43 win over Middle Tennessee State behind the play of rookies.  Cierra Burdick, came off the bench to contribute 14 points and 10 rebounds while Ariel Massengale added 14 points and five assists.  That “must win” was followed by a solid effort in the 73-57 victory over #21/20 Texas on Dec. 4 in Knoxville.

Starting with a Pair of L’s  The last time the Lady Vols opened the season with a 2-2 record was during the 1990-91 campaign. Tennessee went on to a 30-5 overall record and captured the 1991 National Championship.  Tennessee opened that season with a win over Stanford (the defending NCAA Champs)...lost by 13 at N.C. State...defeated Virginia Tech on the road ... then lost at Vanderbilt by 14 points.  Including this season, back-to-back losses have only occurred 25 times during Coach Pat Summitt’s 38-year career at Tennessee.  Before losing back-to-back to Virginia and #1-ranked Baylor (Nov. 20 & 27, 2011), the last occurrence was during the 11 loss 2008-09 season.  UT lost back-to-back games twice that year -- at Duke and Kentucky (Feb. 16 & 19) and vs. Auburn and Ball State (Mar. 7 & 22).  Tennessee suffered back-to-back losses three times in the 10 loss, 1996-97 NCAA Championship “Cinderella Season.”  Of the all-time losses for Summitt’s teams, they have lost back-to-back-to-back games just twice.  In December 1984, the Lady Vols lost three consecutive games (all on the road) at #3-ranked Georgia, at #2 Texas and at #7 Louisiana Tech.  In February 1986, UT also lost three consecutive games at #8-ranked Ole Miss, #11-ranked Auburn and against #3-ranked Louisiana Tech.

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. AllAmerican 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. Also being inducted are: Nancy Fahey (Coach), Pamela McGee (Player), Inge Nissen (Player), Robin Roberts (Contributor), and Dawn Staley (Player)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 alltime) 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 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 alltime to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies.

Fourth Earliest Opener  The game against Pepperdine was the fourth earliest date the Lady Vols have ever opened the season. UT’s earliest opening game was during the 2002-03 season with first tip on Nov. 10, 2002, taking on #22/19-ranked Oklahoma and registering a 94-68 win.

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.

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

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

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.

KNOXVILLE - A pair of freshmen, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale, each scored a career-high 14 points and keyed a pair of first-half runs as the No. 8 Tennessee women’s basketball team defeated in-state rival Middle Tennessee, 82-43, Tuesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Massengale logged just 23 minutes, but led the Lady Vols in both scoring for the first time in her career, tying Burdick. Massengale has led Tennessee (3-2) in assists in all five games to open her collegiate career, and had zero turnovers for the first time Tuesday night.

Massengale, and UT’s other four starters, had a light night after controlling the action throughout the game’s entirety. Johnson played a starter-high 25 minutes and tallied nine points and nine rebounds.

Despite the Lady Vols’ largest win this season of 39 points, UT matched its least amount of double-figure scorers this season with two. Senior preseason All-American Shekinna Stricklen also chipped in 12 points.

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

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

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

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

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

Over the first 10 minutes of the second half, Tennessee extended its 48-24 halftime lead to a 62-30 margin and the Lady Vols never looked back.

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

UT limited the Blue Raiders (4-3) to 19 points in the second half. Middle Tennessee was led by a game-high 16 points from Kortni Jones. Ebony Rowe also had 10 points for MTSU.

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

In the first half, Middle Tennessee jumped out to a 5-2 lead before the Lady Vols scored 20 of the game’s next 22 points to take a 22-7 lead at the 11:47 mark, setting the tone for the rest of the game.

During that stretch, Massengale played a role in 14 of UT’s 20 points, contributing nine points and assisting on a pair of baskets. The freshman standout also had one of her two steals in the run. She had already matched her career high with 11 points by halftime.

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

The Blue Raiders responded with an 11-5 run to bring their deficit back within single digits at 27-18 with 7:08 left.

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

UT reinforced its dominance, scoring 21 of the opening stanza’s final 27 points, to take a 48-24 halftime lead. Burdick scored all seven of her first-half points in the run as the Lady Vols’ 24-point advantage at intermission was their largest of the season.

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

UT expanded a 27-26 lead with 5:19 left to as big as 11 (38-27) with 1:28 left in the first half.

Texas had drawn within one on a three-pointer by Fontenette before the Lady Vols went on an 11-1 spurt.

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

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

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

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

The sixth-ranked Lady Vols lost all of a 13-point lead and found themselves down by three before taking control with a late run to seal their 67-61 victory over the Scarlet Knights.

Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons hit two clutch 3-pointers during the game-changing spurt.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Summitt received a warm standing ovation from the crowd before the game and shared a long embrace with Stringer. Rutgers players wore warmup shirts that said “We Back Pat” in honor of Summitt’s battle with Alzeheimer’s. The school also presented Tennessee with a collage of Stringer’s favorite photos with Summitt and a commemorative jersey at the half.

Tennessee held Rutgers scoreless over a 7:55 span as April Sykes connected from downtown with 38 seconds left. As the Lady Vols squandered free throw opportunities, the Scarlet Knights made things interesting, coming as close as 65-61 before a pair of free throws from Shekinna Stricklen sealed the victory for UT. The Lady Vols got off to a quick start behind Stricklen. The senior preseason All-American had 10 straight points for Tennessee during one stretch. Her jumper with 5:48 left in the half gave the Lady Vols a 33-20 lead. That would be their last points before the half as Rutgers turned up its defensive pressure, scoring the final eight points before the break, including four by Sykes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Massengale practiced Monday in the Bay Area.

KNOXVILLE - Behind double-doubles from seniors Vicki Baugh and Glory Johnson, the seventhranked Tennessee women’s basketball team topped Old Dominion, 90-37, Wednesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols spent their practices since last week’s 17-point loss at No. 4 Stanford focused on regaining the defensive excellence that coach Pat Summitt expects of them. The result was a near perfect effort in a 90-37 win over Old Dominion on Wednesday night.

“Tonight, it was about Tennessee,” associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “It was about what was across our chest. We focused on getting better. I think what we did today was indicative of how hard we’ve practiced on the defensive end.”

Warlick estimated the team had spent all of two minutes total working on offense during practices on Monday and Tuesday. The coaches and players used the rest of the time to work on rebounding, pass deflections and preventing transition baskets -- all things that haunted them in the 97-80 loss to the Cardinal on Dec. 20.

The Lady Vols (8-3) outrebounded the Lady Monarchs 54-32, limited them to 25 percent shooting, forced 23 turnovers and gave up just one basket on the fastbreak.

Tennessee now has won 16 straight and 31 of the last 32 against the Lady Monarchs, whose 37 points was the lowest total scored by either team in the 45-game annual series.

Tennessee appeared a bit rusty on the offensive end early against Old Dominion (3-10), which scored the first two baskets of the game.

The Lady Monarchs were leading 8-7 when Alicia Manning hit a jumper with 16:14 in the first half that launched a 14-2 run to give the Lady Vols control of the game. Ariel Massengale, who hadn’t started a game since dislocating her left middle finger in practice Dec. 8, hit back-to-back 3s in the span of 28 seconds during the stretch.

“I was really happy with our play at the very beginning because Tennessee is such a big place to play and it’s really big-time,” Old Dominion guard Jackie Cook said. “I was really proud of how we stepped up and played from the very start. We just couldn’t finish.”

Tennessee took a commanding 50-20 halftime lead against Old Dominion by shooting 50 percent from the field and hitting 6 of 12 from 3. The Lady Vols turned the ball over just twice and posted 15 assists before the break.

Their improved defense led to balanced offense, with Johnson logging 16 points and 11 rebounds. Baugh had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Meighan Simmons added 12 points, Massengale scored 11, Isabelle Harrison had 10 and Alicia Manning grabbed 15 rebounds.

“I like a game like this because we’re working on ourselves,” Johnson said. `We’re working on ourselves as a team and we’re trying to get better and work on our defense. We have so many things that we have to work on outside of the big games. We only have so much time.”

Cook led Old Dominion with 13 points, as the Lady Vols managed to frustrate Old Dominion’s top player, Tia Lewis. Lewis entered the game averaging 18.1 points and 9.7 rebounds but finished with eight points, eight rebounds and four fouls.

By the end of the game, Tennessee had scored 46 and had 26 points off turnovers. Old Dominion only scored eight points inside and had just a single point off the Lady Vols’ 11 giveaways.

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

The Lady Vols won going away in a game when their shots weren’t falling. Hounding Auburn into mistakes helped.

Meighan Simmons scored 20 points and the Lady Vols (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) closed on a big run.

Tennessee (9-3, 1-0 SEC) came into the game last in the league in scoring defense, giving up 63.5 points a game, but forced 25 turnovers and had 12 steals.

It was more than enough to earn the Lady Vols a 34th-consecutive SEC win.

The Lady Vols closed the game on a 19-6 run to turn a tight contest into a blowout and win for the 27th time in the last 30 meetings with the Tigers (8-6, 0-1).

Shekinna Stricklen added 17 points for Tennessee but was disgusted with her 5-of-18 shooting performance.

Glory Johnson had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Alicia Manning scored 10 points.

Simmons had 13 in the second half.

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

The Lady Vols struggled from the field, shooting just 32 percent (21 of 65) after coming in as the SEC’s second-best shooting team. However, they gave Auburn troubles on the boards and with a trapping defense that often forced the Tigers into hurried shots with the shot clock ticking down.

Tennessee also dominated in rebounding 49-31. The Lady Vols turned a 31-29 halftime lead into a 14-point cushion midway through the second half.

Johnson also boiled down the essence of Summitt’s halftime message.

“Basically, if we don’t get it together, we’re walking home,” she said. “And it’s a long walk. I figured this isn’t the way Tennessee plays. We know how to play and we’re not playing to our standards.

When we’re not rebounding and settling for good shots instead of great shots, that’s what happens.”

Auburn managed to cut the 14-point deficit in half with Glymph hitting back-to-back 3s to make it 53-46 with 8 minutes to play.

Then, Tennessee hit 7 of 8 free throws over the next 3 minutes to spark a 9-0 run and all but put the game away.

The Lady Vols went 28 of 31 from the line to help overcome the poor shooting night.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The #6/7 Lady Vols used a 30-0 run in the first half to run away with a 90-47 victory over Chattanooga on Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee moved to 10-3 with the easy win in its final home non-conference game this season. The Lady Vols will play their third game in five nights on Thursday as Georgia comes to Knoxville for a 7 p.m., tip-off on CSS.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - #6/7 Tennessee pulled away from #16/15 Georgia with a 32-9 run in the second half before 13,721 fans to post a 80-51 victory at Thompson-Boling Arena on Thursday night. Glory Johnson posted a double-double to lead four players in double-figures. For Johnson, her 22-point, 13-rebound effort was her fourth straight double-double I and sixth this season. The freshman Ariel Massengale nearly notched her first-career double-double as she tied her careerhighs with 19 points and 9 assists.

Freshman Ariel Massengale (19 points) and Isabelle Harrison (13 points) each scored career-highs in the win as four Lady Vols scored in double-figures. Glory Johnson tallied a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Meighan Simmons also scored 10 points.

The Lady Vols improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the SEC with its fourth win a row. Georgia suffered just its third loss to stand at 12-3 and 1-1 in the league. The loss ended the Lady Bulldogs four-game win streak.

For Johnson, it was her third straight double-double and sixth of the season.

Tennessee dominated the glass, holding a 52-32 edge on the boards led by Johnson. Vicki Baugh also hauled down 10 to go along with eight points. The Lady Vols’ defense was stellar in holding Georgia to just 34.9 percent from the floor including 4-of-21 from 3-point range.

The Lady Vols outrebounded the Lady Mocs, 55-28, while shooting 47.2 percent from the floor. Chattanooga was limited to just 30.4 percent for the game including 20.7 (6-of-29) in the first half.

The game marked the return of junior guard Kamiko Williams, who missed the first 12 games recovering from a torn ACL. Williams played 16 minutes and had two points, four assists, two steals and three rebounds.

The Lady Mocs (8-4) were led by former Lady Vol Faith Dupree, who had 17 points on 7-of10 shooting.

Tennessee led 10-8 with 16:34 left in the first half before that 30-0 run, which made it 40-8 with 5:48 left in the half on a jumper by Cierra Burdick.

Meighan Simmons scored in double-figures for the seventh game in a row with 10. Shekinna Stricklen tallied 12 for her 12th game of the year with 10 or more.

Tennessee went on a 24-6 run midway through the second half to take 68-42 lead with 7:16 left on Johnson’s 3-point play.

The run expanded to 32-9 on a Cierra Burdick putback with a little more than two minutes left in the game, making it 76-45.

The Lady Vols continued to pull away as Johnson converted a fastbreak 3-point play to give UT a 51-36 lead with 13 minutes left in the game. Simmons’ 3-pointer with 11:45 left made it a 17-point bulge at 57-40.

Two beautiful fastbreak give-and-gos between Stricklen and Johnson in the final minute gave Tennessee a 36-27 lead at intermission. Massengale had 15 points in the first half to lead all scorers as the Lady Vols shot 52 percent.

Down by as many as 11, Georgia cut the deficit to five on a 3-pointer by Meredith Mitchell with 2:05 left in the first half causing the Lady Vols to call timeout.

Massengale continued her assault on the hoop with a putback lay-up with 3:51 left in the first half as Tennessee took a 30-20 lead.

Vicki Baugh’s first basket of the game with 5:41 left in the first half put the Lady Vols up 28-19.

Tennessee opened the game strong, taking a 20-11 lead in the first 8:13 as Massengale made her first four shots including two 3-pointers.

The Lady Vols return to the hardwood on Sunday as Tennessee travels to Arkansas for a 3:30 p.m., match-up that will air on ESPNU and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Shekinna Stricklen made sure she went out in style in her last performance in her home state.

Stricklen scored 19 points, and Glory Johnson recorded her fifth straight double-double, as Tennessee (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) routed Arkansas 69-38 on Sunday.

The win was the 36th straight in Southeastern Conference play for the Lady Volunteers (123, 3-0), who opened the game with a 25-3 run and never looked back.

Tennessee hasn’t lost an SEC game since a 53-50 loss at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010, and it was in no jeopardy of doing so while holding the Razorbacks to a season-low point total.

Arkansas, meanwhile, remained winless in SEC play. The Razorbacks (11-4, 0-3) hit only 3 of 30 shots in the first half, and their 10-of-55 shooting for the game (18.1 percent) was the worst in school history.

Stricklen, who starred in high school in Morrilton, Ark., scored what was a career-high 26 points in a win at Arkansas last season, and the Lady Volunteers’ leading scorer was equally impressive this time around. The senior scored six points early as Tennessee opened with a 14-0 run, including one of her two 3-pointers for the game.

She finished 8 of 12 from the field and had eight rebounds in front on a sizeable and vocal cheering section behind the Tennessee bench. The strong effort came after Stricklen had shot just 32 percent over her last four games.

Stricklen’s performance was hardly the only dominant one.

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

The game was well out of hand at that point.

Arkansas didn’t score until Lyndsey Harris’ 3-pointer 6:24 into the game, and it opened 1 of 19 from the field. Harris, who finished with 14 points, hit two first-half 3-pointers, and the Razorbacks’ only other basket was a putback by Quistelle Wiliams.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A’dia Mathies drove the lane and scored in traffic with 4.2 seconds left to finish with a career-high 34 points and No. 9 Kentucky beat No. 6 Tennessee 61-60 Thursday night to snap the Lady Volunteers’ 36-game Southeastern Conference winning streak.

With Kentucky trailing 60-57, Mathies followed her own shot to cut it to one with 46 seconds left.

After Tennessee (12-4, 3-1) was called for a charge and Kentucky (15-2, 4-0) used a timeout, Mathies took the ball at halfcourt, dribbled into the lane and hit a 7-foot floater off the glass in the paint.

Kamiko Williams drove the length of the floor, but missed an off-balance 16-footer as time expired.

Tennessee rallied from 12 points down with 7:46 left to take a lead, but lost for the first time in the SEC since falling 53-50 at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010.

Keyla Snowden added 11 points to help Kentucky win its first four games in conference play for the first time in history to go with 15 straight at home.

Glory Johnson scored 17 points, Vicki Baugh 16 and Shekinna Stricklen 11 for Tennessee.

Kentucky led 50-38 off two free throws by Mathies with 7:46 left when Tennessee used a 14-2 rally to tie it. Meighan Simmons and Stricklen hit 3s, while Ariel Massengale’s threepoint play made it 54-all.

Then, after Mathies made two more free throws, Stricklen hit a layup, Kentucky’s Amber Smith threw a pass away that led to a free throw by Johnson and Mathies fell and lost the ball that started Tennessee’s 3-on-0 break that ended with a layup by Baugh to give the Lady Vols a 59-56 with 2:06 left.

Bria Goss made one of two free throws for the Wildcats and Johnson hit the second of two attempts to put Tennessee back ahead 60-57. Goss then missed a 3 that would’ve tied it, but grabbed her own rebound and Kentucky got another possession. Mathies scored on a putback to cut it to 60-59 and Stricklen was whistled for a charge with 28 seconds to play, setting up the final possession.

Arkansas’ previous worst shooting half was a 3-of-26 performance against Wichita State in 1981. Its previous worst game was 8 of 41 against Louisiana Tech in 1978.

The last time these two teams played in the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols routed the Wildcats by 25. This one looked to be different from the start between the two schools that have many ties on the coaching staff on both sides.

The Razorbacks entered the game shooting just 38 percent as a team for the season. The previous worst performance this season was a 17-of-53 effort against Florida State in November, but they managed to win that game 55-52.

Tennessee used a 10-2 run midway through the first half to take a 20-18 lead before both teams went cold for the next five minutes, combining to miss 25 consecutive shots and commit 12 turnovers before Mathies grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a putback to end the cold snap.

They had no such chance against the suffocating defense of Tennessee, which held Arkansas’ leading scorer C’eira Ricketts to two points on 1-of-11 shooting. Harris didn’t fare much better at 4 of 14.

Johnson joined an elite group of Lady Vols to reach the 1,000/1,000 club. Also achieving 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their UT careers were Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings.

The Lady Vols’ struggles continued. Alicia Manning hit the second of two free throws, but a bucket by Snowden gave Kentucky a 25-21 halftime lead as Tennessee finished the half with 16 straight misses and eight turnovers.

Johnson’s 8-footer in the lane on the team’s first shot of the second half ended the span of nearly 11 minutes without a field goal, but Kentucky would still build a 50-38 lead behind Mathies and Snowden before Tennessee’s furious rally.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In a physical game that saw both teams playing without key players due to injury, #9 Tennessee battled to a 65-56 victory over LSU on Thursday night before 13,107 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols moved to 14-4 overall and 5-1 in the SEC. The Lady Tigers, coached by former UT star Nikki Caldwell, fell to 13-5 and 4-2 in the league.

Meighan Simmons led Tennessee with 19 points and Cierra Burdick netted a career-high tying 15, for her highest scoring game in more than a month. An ailing Glory Johnson played just 24 minutes and scored 10 points. Shekinna Stricklen missed the first game of her career with a right knee sprain. Vicki Baugh pulled down a season-high 14 rebounds as the Lady Vols outrebounded LSU, 45-39.

Courtney Jones led LSU with 16 points and Adrienne Webb added 12. LSU’s leading scorer LaSondra Barrett (12.5 ppg) was held to her second-lowest scoring game of the season with six before fouling out.

In a very physical and tight game, neither team led by double-figures the entire game and neither team had a lead by more than two possessions for the first 30:30. The game was tied on 11 occasions before the Lady Vols ended the game on a 16-7 run over the final 6:22 to secure the win.

Tennessee used a 10-0 run to take a 47-39 lead with 9:30 left in the second half. Back-toback fastbreak lay-ups by Simmons and Johnson followed by a Cierra Burdick jumper put the Lady Vols ahead 45-39 with 10:34 left in the second half.

But LSU retaliated with its own 10-2 run to tie the game at 49 all with 6:40 left in regulation. Burdick ended that spurt with a jump shot to regain a Lady Vols lead, 51-49 with 6:20 remaining. The lead moved to 56-51 thanks to late successful free-throw shooting.

Tennessee had a stretch of making 7-of-8 foul shots late in the game after starting 6-of-15 from the charity stripe.

Fastbreak lay-ups by Johnson and Ariel Massengale 19 seconds apart put Tennessee up 6053 with 2:40 left in the game. Tennessee finished the game off with free throws in the final minutes to secure UT’s 28th straight home SEC win.

LSU and Tennessee stood tied 26 all at intermission with solid defense being played by both teams. The Lady Vols were limited to 9-of-28 (32.1 percent) from the floor while the Lady Tigers shot 11-of-32 (34.4). Simmons led all scorers with eight points in the first half.

Just 2.9 seconds before halftime, LSU guard Destini Hughes suffered a leg injury was the taken off the court in a wheelchair and did not return. The Lady Tigers were also without point guard Jeanne Kenney, who suffered a concussion in the first minutes of the game.

Massengale gave the Lady Vols their first lead of the game since a Simmons 3-pointer opened the scoring, as the freshman’s lay-up put UT up 14-13 with 10:16 left in the first half. LSU quickly responded with a Barrett trey to regain the lead. That lead was short lived as Tennessee used a 13-5 run to take a 24-18 lead with 5:15 left in the first half.

LSU came into the game with the nation’s second-best field goal percentage defense (30.3) and third in scoring defense (47.5). The Lady Tigers limited Tennessee to 37.5 from the floor.

The Lady Vols defense was even more stiff in holding LSU to 34.4 from the floor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Coming off the bench, Kamiko Williams and Isabelle Harrison each chipped in with 10.

Kyra Crosby led Alabama with 15 points in defeat. She was Alabama’s lone double-figure scorer. The Tide was held to just 1-of-14 from 3-point territory.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ATHENS, Ga. - After leading by just one point at halftime, #7/9 Tennessee outscored #17/15 Georgia in the second half, 38-22, to claim a 67-50 victory at Stegman Coliseum on Sunday evening. The Lady Vols (16-5, 7-1 SEC) scored the first 11 points of the second half to take a 40-28 lead and never looked back. The closest the Lady Dogs (16-6, 5-4) got for the remainder of the game was eight points. Shekinna Stricklen led all scorers with 24 points.

Ariel Massengale was Tennessee’s only other double-figure scorer with 16.

Georgia was led by Meredith Mitchell (13) and Jasmine Hassell (11). The Lady Vols’ defensive was stifling as it limited Georgia to just 28.8 from the floor (17-of-59) and a 2-of-18 from 3-point range.

Taber Spani returned to action and scored three points. Glory Johnson was the top rebounder with eight to go along with five points.

Stricklen keyed that 11-0 run to start the second half as she scored six points in the spurt that started with a Meighan Simmons 3-pointer just 15 seconds into the second half.

Tennessee led 29-28 at halftime after Georgia cut its deficit to one just before halftime on a layup by Erika Ford with 30 seconds left in the half. The Lady Vols built a 19-11 lead on a 3-pointer by Spani with 10:50 left in the half, but Georgia answered with the next six points. To get back to within two at 19-17.

The Lady Vols return to action on Thursday as South Carolina comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m. Tip. That game will air on CSS and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The #8 Lady Vols saw their 28-game home conference win streak come to an end as South Carolina handed Tennessee a 64-60 defeat. The Gamecocks finished the game on a run 9-0 run to claim their first-ever win in Knoxville after being 0-20 all-time. Markeshia Grant scored a career-high 27 points including seven 3-pointers for USC (18-5, 7-3 SEC).

The Lady Vols (16-6, 7-2) were led by Glory Johnson, who had 13 points. Ariel Massengale added 12.

All-time USC was 2-44 against the Lady Vols. The last time South Carolina beat Tennessee was on Jan. 23, 1980, a 56-52 USC win at home.

The last time Tennessee dropped a home SEC game was on Feb. 14, 2008, a 78-62 defeat at the hands of #7 LSU. Ieasia Walker put home a lay-up with 2:15 left to take the lead for good, 61-60. Walker then knocked down one of two free throws with 1:00 left to make it a 62-60 game. The Gamecocks forced a jumpball and took possession with 45 seconds remaining. After Grant missed a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left La’Keisha Sutton grabbed an offensive rebound.

Sutton then knocked down two free throws with 12 seconds left to seal the win. Those free throws were just the fourth and fifth made foul shots for South Carolina, which started 3-12 from the free-throw line in the game.

After being down by five, the Lady Vols rallied to tie the game at 46 all on a Shekinna Stricklen layup with 10:23 left in the second half. A Taber Spani 3-pointer -- Tennessee’s first trey of the game -- with 9:57 left gave the Lady Vols a 49-46 wrapping an 8-0 run. A Kamiko Williams 3-point play extended the advantage to 52-48 with 8:48 left.

Tennessee took the first lead of more than five points in the game on a Williams’ jumpshot with 5:00 left in the game. That put the Lady Vols up 57-50.

USC rallied back as Grant nailed her seven 3-pointer of the game with 3:41 left to cut the Gamecocks deficit to 57-55. That added to Grant’s career-high, but was her first basket in 10 minutes.

South Carolina trimmed the lead to one at 60-59 after a steal by Ashley Bruner and a lay-in

by Aleighsa Welch with 2:49 left.

The game was close throughout with neither team leading by seven points all night. Tennessee didn’t score for the final 3:38 of the game on a Johnson lay-up.

The Gamecocks went on an 8-0 run over a two-minute span to take a 43-38 lead with 14:28 left in the second half.

South Carolina held a narrow 29-28 lead at halftime thanks to 15 points from Grant, who tallied 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting. The remainder of the USC squad shot just 7-of-24 from the floor (29.1 percent). Massengale had nine points in the first stanza to lead all Lady Vols.

Tennessee did not have a steal in the game and made just one 3-pointer, that Spani trey in the second half.

KNOXVILLE - No. 8 Tennessee started a new homecourt conference win streak on Sunday afternoon with an 82-61 victory over Auburn. Glory Johnson and Ariel Massengale led all scorers with 14 points each. Johnson also grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and had four blocks for her ninth double-double of the season, while Massengale added four assists and four steals.

Shekinna Stricklen posted a double-double as well, her third of the season and first since Nov. 27 against Baylor, with 11 points and 10 rebounds.

UT moves to 17-6 overall and 8-2 in the SEC while Auburn lost for the fourth time in five games and fell to 11-13 and 3-8 in the league. Tennessee has won 14 games in a row at home vs. Auburn, dating to 1989.

After trailing very early in the game, Tennessee made easy work of Auburn, pulling away in the second half. A layup by Vicki Baugh with 4:05 left in the first half gave the Lady Vols their first double-figure lead of the afternoon (38-27) and they continued to hold a margin of at least eight for the remainder of the game.

Five consecutive points by Massengale gave UT a 56-39 lead with 13:24 left in the game.

That was Tennessee’s largest lead to that point. Auburn cut the deficit to 11 at 58-47 on a lay-up by Morgan Jennings with 9:57 left, but Massengale answered with her own hoop with 9:30 left in the game.

Hasina Muhammad’s lay-up with 6:53 left cut the Auburn deficit to eight at 61-53 but Meighan Simmons came right back to regain a 10-point and Johnson’s putback expanded the lead back to 12 at 65-53. A Lady Vols’ 11-0 run late in the game put the contest out of reach. Shekinna Stricklen’s lay-up off a feed from Massengale ballooned UT’s lead to 72-53 with 4:27 left.

A Taber Spani 3-pointer with 5:00 left in the first half gave the Lady Vols a 34-25 lead.

Tennessee continued to pull away as the Lady Vols took a 44-31 lead into halftime on an Massengale lay-up with 1:45 left in the half.

Auburn held an advantage as large as five points early on, but Tennessee took the lead for good at 16-14 on an Alicia Manning lay-up with 13:54 left in the first half. A jumper by Spani with 12:15 left finished a 7-0 run for the Lady Vols and gave them an 18-14 lead.

The Lady Vols had their 28-game home SEC win streak come to an end on Thursday night as South Carolina rallied late to beat UT, 64-60. In that game, Tennessee did not record a steal. Against Auburn, the Lady Vols came away with 13 thefts.

The Lady Vols head to Vanderbilt for a Thursday night game at 9 p.m. ET. That game will air on CSS and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The No. 11 Lady Vols trailed most of the night, but took a brief lead in the second half before No. 25 Vanderbilt regained control and posted a 93-79 victory at Memorial Gym. Four Commodores scored in double-figures as Tiffany Clarke had 23 and Christina Foggie netted 22. Stephanie Holzer tallied 19 while Jessica Lister had 19 points and 13 assists.

Vanderbilt moved to 19-5 overall and 7-4 in the SEC. The Lady Vols (17-7, 8-3 SEC) were led by Meighan Simmons, who had 20 points. Glory Johnson scored 19 before fouling out with six minutes left in the game. Shekinna Stricklen also scored 17.

The game marked the second time Tennessee allowed 90 points this season, as the Lady Vols gave up 97 to Stanford on Dec. 20, 2011. It was the most points ever scored by Vandy against Tennessee as the Commodores shot 55 percent for the game and 58 percent in the second half alone.

Vanderbilt used a 17-2 run after the Lady Vols climbed all the way out of a 12-point hole to take a commanding 69-56 lead with 7:49 left in the game on a Clarke lay-up. The Commodores lead ballooned to 14 points as Foggie’s fastbreak lay-up put Vanderbilt up 80-66.

After being down by as many as 12 points, Tennessee rallied to take a short-lived lead at 54-52 with 11:42 left in the second half on a Johnson jumper. Cierra Burdick had tied the game at 52 all with 12:33 left in the game.

The Lady Vols lost to Vanderbilt for the first time in eight games and just the second time in the last 25 meetings dating to 2001-02.

Tennessee returns to action in a rematch with Kentucky on Monday night at 7 p.m. The Wildcats handled the Lady Vols their first conference loss of the season, 61-60 on Jan. 12.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - #10 Tennessee flexed its defensive muscle with a 57-41 win at Mississippi State. Shekinna Stricklen posted a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Cierra Burdick was the Lady Vols only other double-figure scorer as she tallied 10.

Tennessee (19-7, 10-3 SEC) limited Mississippi State (14-12, 4-9) to just 13 points in the first half and a paltry 23.5 field goal percentage. Kendra Grant led MSU with 17 and Porsha Grant tallied 15.

Meighan Simmons tallied a season-high 25 points. Shekinna Stricklen scored 18. Glory Johnson added 10 and grabbed seven rebounds.

“We didn’t get a lot of transition looks because we were turning the ball over,” Tennessee associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “If we learned anything it’s that we’ve got to take care of the ball more.”

The Lady Vols shot a sensational 59.0 from the floor and held Kentucky to just 33.3 from the floor. Tennessee outrebouned UK, 45-27.

Stricklen was 8-for-18 from the field and 5 of 6 from the free-throw line after a slow start.

Back on Jan. 12, Kentucky edged the Lady Vols, 61-60 in Lexington to take the lead in the SEC. Tennessee inched back to within a game of the league lead with Monday’s victory.

Kentucky’s leading scorer A’dia Mathies tallied 12. Back in January, she netted a career-high 34. The Cats’ top scorer on Monday was Bria Goss, who had 15.

The Lady Vols’ lead expanded to 28 on a putback layup by Johnson with 11:51 left in the game as the onslaught continued. The lead ballooned to 40 on a Kamiko Williams jumper with 4:32 left in the game.

Tennessee dominated the first half, leading 46-28 at intermission behind 12 points apiece from Simmons and Stricklen. The Lady Vols shot 60 percent from the floor while holding the Wildcats to 30.3 from the floor and 1-10 from 3-point range.

The Lady Vols went on a 14-0 run over 2:12 late in the first half to build a 39-18 advantage with 4:39 left in the first half. Vicki Baugh, Simmons and Williams each had four points in the spurt.

After being down by 12, Kentucky cut the deficit to five at 21-16 on a give-and-go lay-up from Bernisha Pinkett with 9:20 left. But the Lady Vols responded.

Tennessee came out strong building an 18-6 lead after an Ariel Massengale lay-up with 13:36 left in the first half. The Lady Vols made eight of their first 10 shots including Stricklen starting 3-of-3. Kentucky began the game just 2-of-16 from the floor.

The Lady Vols return to action on Thursday night as Tennessee plays at Mississippi State at 9 p.m. The game will air on CSS and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

“I didn’t have my composure,” Stricklen said. “I was rushing and playing at a fast pace, not my own pace. My teammates really helped me get it back under control.”

The win pulls Tennessee even with No. 7 Kentucky atop the SEC standings after the Wildcats’ loss tonight to Alabama.

Tennessee has won three of its last four games and five of its last seven.

Cierra Burdick added 10 points and Glory Johnson grabbed 15 rebounds for Tennessee.

“It wasn’t the prettiest game,” Warlick said. “It was a grind for us and we found a way to win.”

As poorly as Tennessee shot, Mississippi State shot even worse.

The Bulldogs shot only 24.2 percent (16 of 66) from the floor and trailed by double digits the entire second half.

“We forced enough turnovers and I felt like we really scrapped,” Mississippi State coach Sharon Fanning-Otis said. “But we missed some shots and you have to rebound the ball defensively. You’ve got to get some put-backs and some and-ones, and we’re just not there yet.”

The Bulldogs are now 0-33 all-time versus the Lady Vols.

“Our defense played hard enough for us to win the ballgame,” Fanning-Otis said. “They have awfully good athletes, with great size, at all positions.”

Both teams struggled to find offense, starting the game a combined 1-of-21 from the floor.

The Lady Vols led 22-13 at the half.

“We played rushed,” Warlick said. “Once we settled down and got into a rhythm I thought we did well.”

KThe Lady Vols continue their two-game swing in Mississippi, travelling to Ole Miss for a Sunday game at 2 p.m. ET. The title airs on the SEC Network and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

OXFORD, Miss. - The size and strength of Tennessee (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) ended up trumping the speed of Mississippi for a 66-56 victory on Sunday.

With Tennessee (20-7, 11-3 Southeastern Conference) struggling to connect from 3-point range, the inside duo of Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen bailed out the Lady Volunteers, who have struggled with their effort and energy level from game to game.

Johnson and Stricklen both went 5 of 9 from the floor and combined to score 25 points.

Johnson, who finished with 13 points, also grabbed eight rebounds for the Lady Volunteers.

“I thought Ole Miss really focused on taking away our inside game early. Credit to Glory and (Stricklen), they kept working,” Tennessee assistant coach Holly Warlick said. “They probably weren’t getting as many touches as we normally get, and that’s due to Ole Miss, but I thought we kept working hard, and when we needed a basket inside, we got them the ball. They made plays.”

In a game that Tennessee never led by more than 12 points, Warlick talked about why the Lady Volunteers struggled to put away an Ole Miss team (12-15, 2-12) that played its most complete game of the season.

“We did some good things and then we turn the ball over at crucial times and they took advantage of it,” Warlick said. “We didn’t get to loose balls that we normally do, and I thought Ole Miss was capitalizing on our mistakes. We needed buckets, we needed stops and we got them, but we let somebody score 21 points. We were just too inconsistent.”

Valencia McFarland was the Lady Rebel who finished with 21 points. The point guard, who was 4 for 6 from 3-point range, was praised by Johnson following the game for her effort and her ability to lead her team.

“She’s really quick. She was a player that her team needed to play well to be successful, and she did her job,” Johnson said. “She made it hard on our guards, and when she drove and we went to help, she was able to dish and find her teammates. She played a great game.”

Tennessee led 32-21 at the half. The Lady Rebels cut into that lead early in the second half with a 13-6 run that brought them within four points, 38-34, at the 14:27 mark.

Ole Miss got within four points twice more but never got any closer as Tennessee withstood the Lady Rebels’ best punches with inside buckets from Johnson and Stricklen as well as a key 3-pointer by Stricklen with just under 7 minutes left. Tennessee has won three straight games since falling out of the Top 10 last week and leads the SEC by a half-game over Kentucky, which hosts Vanderbilt on Monday night.

The Lady Vols return home to host Arkansas on Thursday at 7 p.m. The game airs on Fox Sports South and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network. UT closes the regular-season vs.

Florida on Sunday, Feb. 26 in a game that airs on ESPNU with a 3:30 p.m., tip-off.
