Noting Vanderbilt Tidbits
Vanderbilt is off to a 2-1 SEC start collecting wins over Auburn (66-58) and Ole Miss (68-52) but losing to South Carolina (65-55) in the SEC opener. The Commodores went 12-1 in non-conference play leading into the SEC campaign.
The 4-1-1 on Vanderbilt Before facing Tennessee, No. 25/24 Vanderbilt took a 66-58 win over Auburn on Jan. 12, at Memorial Gym in Nashville, Tenn. Christina Foggie scored 27 points for the third time this season, equaling a career high. In addition to going 7-11 from the field, she was 6-8 from behind the three-point line and 7-7 from the free throw line. Guard Jasmine Lister added 11 points of her own, along with five assists, four rebounds and three steals, to help the Commodores improve to 14-2 on the season and 2-1 in SEC play. VU junior forward Tiffany Clarke added 12 points and eight rebounds. She’s now averaging 14.7 points and 8.3 rebounds in SEC play. Foggie scored 22 points in the second half to help Vanderbilt pull away, then hold on. .
Our Last Meeting with Vandy Fourth-ranked Tennessee came out flat in its third game in seven days at Vanderbilt on Feb. 13, 2011, but still captured a 65-57 victory over the Commodores to improve to 12-0 in the SEC. UT scored just 15 points on 5-of-25 shooting (season-low 20 percent) in the first half and trailed Vanderbilt, 28-15 at the break. It was third lowest scoring half in Lady Vol history behind the 13 points UT scored at Rutgers on Jan. 3, 2009 and the 14 they managed versus Virginia in the 1996 NCAA Regional Finals. (Tennessee came back and won both of those contests, as well). After an intense halftime speech from Coach Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols played much better in the second half, shooting 51.5 percent (17-for-33) and outscoring Vanderbilt, 50-29, over the last 20 minutes. The Lady Vols used a 16-3 run in the final frame to take control of the game after trailing by 13 at the break - tying for UT’s worst halftime deficit of the season that came at Baylor on Dec. 14. Freshman Lauren Avant, in only her 10th game of the season because of injury and illness setbacks, was the comeback’s catalyst, scoring six straight points over a 32-second span to pull UT within one
point, 42-41 with 7:33 left in the contest. She also had three second-half steals in 17 minutes after the break and finished with a career-best 11 points in 20 minutes. Classmate Meighan Simmons hit a three-pointer with 5:54 left in the game and gave Tennessee a 4442 advantage - its first lead since being up 5-2 four minutes into the game. The game-clinching play came from reserve junior post Lyssi Brewer. Like Avant, Brewer had missed over half the season’s games, but she came up big against the Commodores. Brewer made a layup and then poked the ball away from VU’s Jence Rhoads right to Simmons who found Brewer for the fastbreak score to put UT up 55-49 with 2:30 left . Junior Shekinna Stricklen tallied 14 points and nine boards and junior Glory Johnson recorded her ninth double-double (10 points and 11 boards) of the season.
UT-VU Tidbits UT coach Pat Summitt has won 20 of 21 games over Vanderbilt while Melanie Balcomb has been the Commodore head coach over the last 10 years. Tennessee enters the game with Vanderbilt sporting the nation’s number one strength of schedule and RPI. Vanderbilt has an RPI of 40 and a strength of schedule at 143. Two Lady Vols take career double-figure scoring averages against Vanderbilt into the game. Sophomore Meighan Simmons dropped averages 13.0 ppg to lead UT. Glory Johnson drops in 10.6 ppg and leads the team with 7.9 rpg against the Commodores. In seven career games vs. Vandy, Shekinna Stricklen manages 9.9 ppg and 6.0 rpg. Strick is challenged at the charity stripe in games against the black and gold connecting on an uncharacteristic 51.7 percent (15-29).
Threesies with the Commodores Tennessee has faced Vanderbilt three times in a season nine times and posted a 25-2 mark in those games. The 2009-10 season was such the case with three meetings as UT prevailed in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament in Duluth, Ga., 68-49, on Mar. 6; held on to defeat Vandy in Nashville, 69-60, on Feb. 8, 2010, and prevailed in Knoxville, 64-57, on Jan. 17, 2010.
The Series// UT vs. VU Tennessee and Vanderbilt have a storied past. This will mark the 66th meeting between these SEC foes. No other team has recorded as many back-toback games with the Lady Vols in single seasons since UT played Old Dominion home-and-home and in the postseason (practically every year) in the late 1970s and early 80s. The Lady Vols possess a dominant 58-7 advantage in the overall series..

Number 500 on the Line
Summitt at 499 With a victory over Vandy, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt will collect her 500th career win at home. Of the 499 wins, a total of 178 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.
Bounce Back Time...Again
Loss Number Four After almost completing a comeback victory over Kentucky, but missing by a bucket, the Lady Vols will be regrouping from a loss for the fourth time this season. The last time UT took (at least) four losses on the year was the 11 “L” season in 2008-09. UT’s bounce back game will come against Vanderbilt. The Commodores have never won a game in Knoxville in 26 tries.
FacingVanderbilt
Closing in on 70 Today marks the 66th meeting between the two cross-state and SEC rivals. Vanderbilt became the first opponent to face UT more than 50 times and then 60 times in a series and the first opponent the Lady Vols have defeated 50 times in a series all-time. UT-Vandy Series Rankings Typically, going into the Tennessee versus Vanderbilt match-up, the Lady Vols have entered the contest as the higher ranked team. In fact, in the last 46 meetings dating back to Jan. 30, 1993, the Commodores have been ranked higher just six times. Going into that memorable oversold game on the Nashville campus in 1993, Vanderbilt was ranked number one while the Lady Vols were a step behind at #2. Flocking Fans Tennessee and Vanderbilt love to attract the crowds on their campuses when the two teams meet. In UT’s final home game of 2007, with the old Thompson-Boling Arena configuration, UT and Vandy attracted the largest crowd ever in the series as 24,251 clicked thru the turnstiles on Senior Day. Attendance averages dating back to 1986-87 season. KNOXVILLE TOTAL (AVG.) --21 games – 334,786 (15,942); NASHVILLE TOTAL (AVG)-23 games –259,990 (11,303); NEUTRAL TOTAL (AVG)--10 games- 79,213 ( 7,921). Largest gatherings: 24,251 in Knoxville 2/23/07, and 15,317 in Nashville 1/30/93. Vanderbilt’s Success in Nashville Five of Vandy’s wins in the series have come at Memorial Gymnasium on the Nashville campus, while two of the Commodores seven victories over UT have come on neutral courts in the SEC Tourney. The closest Vanderbilt has come to claiming a win in Knoxville in 26 meetings was a twopoint loss on Feb. 26, 1984, 74-72, in old Stokely Athletics Center on the UT campus. In Thompson-Boling Arena, the ‘Dores have walked a trey away from victory twice -- in 1996, 85-82 (1-19-96) and in 2006, 70-67 (212-06).
SEC neutral court wins for the Commodores -- in 2001, #15 Vandy upset #1 UT in the SEC Tournament in Memphis, 77-74, while Jim Foster was the Commodore head coach. In 1995, #9/11-ranked VU knocked #2-ranked UT out of the SEC’s in Chattanooga, 67-61. Balcomb has won Two VU head coach Melanie Balcomb has claimed two all-time wins over Tennessee. She is 1-20 vs. the Lady Vols while at Vandy since the 2002-03 season after picking up her first SEC win over the Lady Vols in Nashville on Jan. 11, 2009. Previously, as the head coach at Xavier, her Musketeers sent UT home from the 2001 NCAA Tournament dealing a Sweet 16 upset defeat, 80-65. Melanie can Roast, too When the Tennessee Economic Council on Women inducted Tennessee coach Pat Summitt as the third member of its Tennessee Women’s Hall of Fame on June 17, 2011, Melanie Balcomb was asked to speak. Balcomb brought the sold out gathering to its knees with laughter after her storytelling. She related her experiences of being a young upstart coach who fashioned a 1-0 record against Summitt and thought she should retire. Last Five vs. Vandy There hasn’t been much breathing room for Tennessee despite winning the last five contests against Vanderbilt over the last two seasons. UT has managed to outscore VU by a 66.8 ppg to 55.8 ppg margin. The numbers include a 69-49 UT win in the 2010 SEC tourney. Hoop Heaven Last Year in K-town The No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols won it’s 29th consecutive game at Thompson-Boling Arena in front of a season-high crowd of 17,853 when in-state rival Vanderbilt traveled to Knoxville on Jan. 15, 2011. In the nightcap of ESPN’s first-ever GameDay doubleheader, and on just one day of rest, the Lady Vols defeated the Commodores, 68-56. Tennessee’s combined attendance of 39,051 from the men’s and women’s quasi doubleheader versus Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2011 is believed to be a record for an on-campus men’s and women’s college basketball doubleheader. The Vols drew 21,198 fans for their noon game with the Commodores and the Lady Vols welcomed 17,853 folks to their game at 8 p.m. vs. the Commodores.

Manning Threw a Christmas Party UT coach Pat Summitt inserted senior Alicia Manning into the starting line-up (for Vicki Baugh) against Old Dominion on Dec. 28 stating the Woodstock, Ga., native “had earned it in practice.”
Manning responded with career highs in rebounds (15) and steals (6).
A blue collar player all the way, the Lady Vols’ “grittiness factor” reaches all-time highs when Manning is on the court. Dialing Assistance A pair of Lady Vol rookies have recorded nine assists in a game twice this season. Ariel Massengale had nine helpers against (then) #7-ranked Miami. Fellow freshmate Cierra Burdick dished nine assists against Old Dominion. Their mark of nine is second-best for a rookie. Sophomore Meighan Simmons holds the UT rookie record with 11 scoring passes against Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. Simmons Slowly Heating it Up Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons has desperately struggled with her shot this season. “Speedy” had a field goal average hovering on life support in the teens and has not hit the mid 30’s in FG%....
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 9.7 rpg.
From the Chalk Board
MUST Control the Glass Tennessee had managed to do a better job on the boards since Miami controlled that stat line in game two of the season. Then in the blink of an eye, the Lady Vols lost the rebounding battle in back-to-back games against UCLA and Stanford. The Cardinal controlled the boards 35-29 and scored 14 second chance points. One game earlier, for just the second time this season, an opponent led UT on the boards when UCLA grabbed a 31-28 edge on Dec. 17. In UT’s defense, the Lady Vols shot 69.2 percent from the field for the game. The Lady Vols held a decisive rebounding edge over #1-ranked Baylor grabbing 56 rebounds to the Lady Bears’ 42. UT followed that up with a 53-30 rebounding night against MTSU, a 49-38 display against a tall Texas lineup and a similar line-up against DePaul, 45-42. It’s Not Better to Give Tennessee has been its own worst enemy turning the ball over. UT committed a total of 24 turnovers in the loss to Virginia which led to 29 UVa points but did a little bit better job against Baylor with just 11 miscues leading to 14 Lady Bear points. The Big Orange fell off the turnover wagon against MTSU and gave up the ball 21 times. In a sprint fest against Texas, UT’s ball security led to just nine giveaways. The turnover truck broad-sided Tennessee without Ariel Massengale in the game vs. DePaul. The Lady Vols surrendered the ball 19 times to DU but ball security improved in the second half. On the season, UT has generated 17.1 points
off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 12.4 ppg off of Orange mistakes. UT leads in second chance points per game at 18.0 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.7 ppg. Free Means Free Since enduring a miserable 52.4 percent inaccuracy from the free throw line in the loss to Virginia, the Lady Vols have picked it up a little. On the season, UT’s free throw percentage has climbed beyond the 70 percent range at 71.2 (258-360) . Kudos to senior Glory Johnson who has been sent to the line a team high 101 times and connected on 67 for an improved 66.7 accuracy rate.
Head Coach Pat Summitt
NCAAs Ford Award Presented Today 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 will address the Convention attendees in a taped video message and Joan Cronan will accept 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 basketball – 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.

TENNESSEE VS. VANDERBILT JAN. 15, 2012 al 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 (1997) to round out a veritable Mount Rushmore of college coaches who have received this award. In 1972, Wooden, who had won his eighth national title in nine seasons, was selected along with Billie Jean King. Smith was honored in 1997, the same year he set the then NCAA wins record and announced his retirement. Other coaches named Sportsman include Joe Paterno (1986); manager Terry Francona (2004, with the Boston Red Sox); Herb Brooks (1980, with the U.S. Olympic hockey team) and Tony DiCicco (1999, with the U.S. Women’s soccer team). We Back Pat To coincide with National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month the matchup between the No. 6/7 Lady Vols and the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears on Sun., Nov. 27th was designated as the first of two, “We Back Pat” games. The Vols will also participate in a “We Back Pat” game in January, when Coach Cuonzo Martin and the Big Orange take on the Connecticut Huskies on January 21st (CBS). Thousands of fans wore the “We Back Pat” t-shirt to the Baylor game as 16,623 spectators were on hand. Shirts are still available at The UT Bookstore and Stokely Athletics Center stores, as well as area Food City and Walgreens. The shirts are $10, with $4.25 from every shirt going to research. In a halftime ceremony at the Baylor game, checked were presented to Alzheimer’s Tennessee and UT Medical Center, as the `We Back Pat’ T-shirts have already generated more than $150,000 in donations. The proceeds will help directly impact those living with the disease in the state of Tennessee. Announcing the Pat Summitt Foundation 8
LADY VOL BASKETBALL /// 2011-12 GAME NOTES
Since sharing her diagnosis of dementia in late August, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt indicated she would like to start a foundation. Summitt along with her son, Tyler, have formed a foundation that will fund grants in support of Alzheimer’s programs. The foundation, The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund (www.patsummitt. org), was announced at halftime of the Baylor game on Nov. 27 in Knoxville. The aim of her Foundation is to make grants to non-profit organizations which provide education and awareness of Alzheimer’s, its onset and treatment; support services to patients, their families and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent, cure and ultimately eradicate the disease. “Tyler and I have decided to join this battle, not just for us, but also for the millions of families affected by this disease. I have always told our players, our greatest opportunities are disguised as our greatest obstacles. It is time to treat this obstacle as an opportunity and a stepping stone to a cure,” Summitt said. Amazing Summitt Numbers Pat Summitt’s teams have faced 164 opponents in 1,285 total games and teams from 35 conferences 46% of her 1,285 total games have been played versus ranked teams (598 total games against ranked opponents) with 435 victories versus ranked opponents 161 all-time Lady Vols have contributed to 1,083wins. 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. AARP Recognizes Summitt AARP The Magazine has announced the recipients of its 10th annual Inspire Awards.

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. In two 2011-12 preseason exhibitions contests, the Lady Vols outrebounded the opposition 52.0 rpg to 26.5 rpg. UT started out the 2011-12 regular season hauling in 54 boards against Pepperdine while the Waves snagged 34. Tennessee fell off the rebounding wagon in the very next game as Miami controlled the glass collecting 45 boards to the Lady Vols’ 38 total rebounds. That was a vast improvement over UT’s 13-rebound deficit at halftime to the Hurricanes. UT corrected the rebounding problem against Virginia, 45-38, with Shekinna Stricklen collecting 14 boards. 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. Overall this season, the Lady Vols hold just a +11.5 rebounding advantage, 46.3-34.8. 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 #1 Baylor, 76-67, on Nov. 27, 2011, since then UT is 5-0 at home. The last time UT lost on the road was on Jan. 12, 2012 at Kentucky, 61-60. Since then, UT has not played a road games. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Notre Dame, 73-59, in the 2011 NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2011. Since that time, UT is 1-0 on a neutral court. Shekinna Has It Going On Lady Vol senior Shekinna Stricklen has the nation’s longest starting streak entering the 201112 season. Stricklen has started 120 consecutive games. DePaul senior forward Keisha Hampton started 112 consecutive games before her streak was halted on Dec. 17.
TBA - The Place to Play
Rocky Top, You’ll Always Be... Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky Top, Tennessee has already entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season
averaging 82.9 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 55.5 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,391 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 347-21 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/midcourt 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 346-21(.941) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 25-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10 flawless home records: in 1988-89 (15-0), 199192 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 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 21 TBA Losses The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times. UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons. The 21 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 11 teams: Baylor (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 499-46 overall record. Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athletics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in ThompsonBoling Arena.
On the Court
100 Point Games
Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 76 times. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games 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 1,176 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 1,176260-2 (.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.

TENNESSEE VS. VANDERBILT JAN. 15, 2012 teams this season. Johnson Named a Lowe’s Nominee Tennessee senior forward Glory Johnson has been named one of 30 women’s basketball nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, presented to student-athletes who excel on and off the field. Johnson is one of three nominees from the SEC. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence -community, classroom, character and competition.

2011-12 Archive Notes
We Streaked into SEC Competition Before losing to Kentucky, the Lady Vols had won 36 consecutive games against SEC opposition dating back to 2010. UT’s streak started after a 53-50 loss at Georgia
on Jan. 21, 2010. Included in the total were 30 consecutive regular season games and six in the SEC Tournament. In this 36 game streak: UT won 15 consecutive SEC home games; UT won 15 consecutive SEC road games and six consecutive neutral site games in the SEC tourney. 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, Massengale Back Lady Vol rookie point guard Ariel Massengale was back in the starting line-up against Old Dominion. She was cleared to play on Dec. 20 after missing the previous three games (#20/21 DePaul, #11 Rutgers and UCLA). The starting rookie guard made a brief 11 minute second half appearance against Stanford. She suffered a dislocated middle finger on her left hand in practice on Dec. 8. Three Losses Heading into January The last time Tennessee sported three losses heading into January was the 2004-05 season. The Lady Vols were 8-3 overall and had lost at #4-ranked Texas, 74-59; to #10/9-ranked Duke, 5957, and at #24-ranked Rutgers, 65-51. Last 7-3 Start to Open the Season The last time the Lady Vols posted a 7-3 record in the first 10 games to open a season was in 1996-97. In that weird 29-10 overall record & NCAA title season, Tennessee collected wins over Austin Peay, #12/13-ranked Kansas, 314/17-ranked Notre Dame, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Memphis, #11/10-ranked Texas Tech, #13/16-ranked Texas (OT) and suffered losses to #11/8-ranked Louisiana Tech, #5-ranked Georgia, and #1-ranked Stanford. The team headed into the 1997 portion of the schedule 7-4 overall after losing at #22/24 Arkansas. Third Time this Season Against Old Dominion, Tennessee rebounded from a loss for the third time in the 2011-12 season. After dropping a 97-80 decision at #4-rankedStanford on Dec. 20, UT righted the ship with a 90-37 win over ODU on Dec. 28 in Knoxville. Stanford’s 90 points were the most against UT since Feb. 26, 2006 vs. Florida (UF 95, UT 93 (OT). UT turned Scarlet at Stanford Tennessee’s 17-point loss at Stanford was the Lady Vols’ worst “L” since losing 71-55 against Ball State on Mar. 22, 2009, in the First Round of the NCAA tournament. The Cardinal owned the boards against the Lady Vols with a 35-29 advantage. Stanford also dominated UT in the paint by a 40-18 margin. Stricklen = Ironwomen Senior Shekinna Stricklen logged an average of 37.1 minutes per game over the four contests on the road in December. She logged all 40 minutes against Stanford while scoring a career high 27 points. She managed 33 minutes against UCLA despite fighting stomach troubles which sent her to the
TENNESSEE VS. VANDERBILT JAN. 15, 2012 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 201 all-time losses for Summitt’s UT 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-ranked Texas and at #7-ranked 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 one-ranked team was on Jan. 22, 2007 in Knoxville. The Lady Vols missed charity tosses down the stretch to lose 74-70 to top-ranked Duke after mounting a furious comeback rally. The Blue Devils opened the game with a nightmarish 19-0 run-out, as the Lady Vols fell into a 21-point hole (28-7 at 9:23 in the first half) before rallying to narrow the halftime deficit to 11 points (38-27). Free throw defense stymied Tennessee, as the Lady Vols connected on just 8-17 (.471) for the game. All-American Candace Parker managed just 1-7 from the free throw line. Good Neighbors The 2011 meeting with Miami in the State Farm TipOff Classic marked the Lady Vols eighth appearance in the State Farm TipOff Classic and the fifth time to host the event. Tennessee now has a 6-2 record in TipOff games. Making a Claim In the first TipOff in 1993, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt picked up her 500th career victory. In the TipOff in 1998, Purdue and Coach Carolyn Peck halted the Lady Vols school record 46game 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). McGee was introduced at the 2011 TipOff in Knoxville. Rookie Starts A true rookie got a starting nod on the opening day of the 2011-12 season. When Coach Pat Summitt started freshman Ariel Massengale against Pepperdine in the opening game of the 2011-12 season, it marked only the 14th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very first game at Tennessee -- out of a total of 161 all-time Lady Vols who have played at UT. The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson
1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985. The Nod With Ariel Massengale getting the opening day start against Pepperdine, she became the 61st rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at UT. Last season, Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Cibolo, Texas, became the 60th rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Tennessee. The previous year, rookie Kamiko Williams (59th all-time) started against Arkansas while her classmate and fellow rookie Taber Spani, became the 13th frosh to start her very first game at UT and the 58th rookie overall. In 2008-09, a record number of players – FIVE – were called on to start for the Lady Vols as rookies: Shekinna Stricklen (starter number 53), Glory Johnson (number 54), Briana Bass (55), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments. Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start during her freshman season –she started in 30 of 38 games. Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her freshman season. Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt freshman Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06. A season earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods during the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Hornbuckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts. This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies. 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.
