Last Meeting: #4/4 UT and Penn of the Ivy League are meeting Penn for the first time All-Time Record: 1,247-279 in 70th season
HERE WE GO! #4/4 Tennessee embarks on its 70th season of women’s basketball on Friday, as Penn comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m. contest that will serve as the regularseason opener for both schools. UT is coming off a 90-57 exhibition game victory over Carson-Newman on Nov. 9, while Penn did not play an exhibition contest. Both teams were in the NCAA Tournament last season as automatic qualifiers. The game will not be televised, but the SEC Network+ broadcast will be streamed live with Courtney Lyle and former Lady Vol standout Brittany Jackson calling the action and Dani Klupenger reporting from the sideline. This marks UT’s first opener at home during the Holly Warlick era, as the Big Orange won last season at Middle Tennessee, 67-57, and dropped an 80-71 decision at Chattanooga two years ago. It will be the first time Tennessee has opened at home since Pepperdine came to town on Nov. 13, 2011, and fell to UT, 89-57. The Lady Vols are 36-4 in season openers over the past 40 years. UT has won nine season openers in a row at home, dating back to a 69-64 setback to #6 Louisiana Tech in Knoxville on Nov. 14, 1999. Tennessee has a 26-1 record at Thompson-Boling Arena when it makes its first appearance there during a season and is 37-3 in home debuts since 1974-75.
WHAT’S THE PROMOTION? The matchup with Penn will be a Big Orange Ticket game. If UT wins, fans will receive a ticket for the next home game. If UT continues to win, fans will continue to receive each subsequent game ticket until a loss. All subsequent tickets will be sent by email for printing at home. Seats for subsequent games will be allocated in the 300 level, based on availability. For more information on this and other games, please go to UTTix.com.

A WIN WOULD... Lift the UT program’s all-time record to 1,248-279 in its 70th season. Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head coach to 57-14 overall and 32-5 in Knoxville. She is 25-9 away from home. Raise the Tennessee seniors’ career record to 84-23. Improve Tennessee to 2-0 vs. Ivy League schools. Bump Holly Warlick’s record in openers to 2-1, including 1-0 at home.
TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY Thompson-Boling Arena and Knoxville have long had a reputation as a difficult place for visitors to win. The Lady Vols finished 15-3 at home in 2013-14, moving their all-time overall mark at TBA to 384-28 (93.2%) in 27 seasons. UT has won 12 or more games in the arena in each of its 27 years of existence and 14 on 19 occasions. Tennessee has posted 11 seasons with no losses in the facility. UT’s all-venues home record is 537-52 (.912), including Thompson-Boling Arena, Stokely Athletics Center and Alumni Gym. The Big Orange women are 42-0 at Thompson-Boling Arena during NCAA play, including 14-0 in the First Round, 22-0 in the Second Round, 3-0 in the Sweet 16 and 3-0 in the Elite 8.
SHORT BENCH FOR LADY VOLS Tennessee will be without four players vs. Penn due to violations of team rules
» Despite missing three guards from its roster in the exhibition game, Tennessee dished out 21 assists, a mark UT reached only six times in 2013-14.
29
» All eyes will be on Nia Moore vs. Penn to see what the junior will do for an encore after leading Tennessee with 29 points in the exhibition victory over C-N.
that head coach Holly Warlick announced on Weds., Nov. 5 and clarified postgame on Nov. 9. Senior forward Cierra Burdick and point guard Ariel Massengale, redshirt sophomore guard Andraya Carter and redshirt freshman guard Jannah Tucker did not play in the exhibition game vs. Carson-Newman. Carter and Massengale will return to action vs. Oral Roberts on Monday, but Burdick will miss the ORU game and conclude her two-game hiatus. Tucker, who is working her way back from an offseason procedure on her left knee, will miss two contests at the time she has been cleared medically to return to competition in games. Diamond DeShields and Mercedes Russell are redshirting this season, leaving Holly Warlick with eight active players vs. Penn.
UT’s third-leading scorer, bagging 15 points and contributing five steals and four assists. Junior forward Jasmine Jones also hit double figures in scoring with 10, while sophomore guard Jordan Reynolds chipped in 11 rebounds, six assists and five points. The Lady Vols, even with Isabelle Harrison out of the lineup and Mercedes Russell redshirting, outrebounded C-N, 46-35, and outscored the visitors in the paint, 52-18. UT has won all 10 exhibition meetings with the Lady Eagles but was held under 100 points by C-N for the first time since 2007. The 33-point win was Tennessee’s lowest margin of victory in an exhibition game since a 30-point triumph (86-53) in 2010 vs. Union (Tenn.). Against Union, however, the #4/4 Lady Vols were playing with a full lineup.
LADY VOLS FLY PAST LADY EAGLES
Isabelle Harrison is expected to return to the starting lineup vs. Penn. The 6-foot-3 senior center was held out of the Carson-Newman exhibition after sharing with head coach Holly Warlick that she wasn’t feeling well. Warlick opted to sit her talented post player and allow her to get healthy for the regular season opener. Harrison, who averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds and had an SEC-best 18 double-doubles as a junior, is ranked as espnW’s No. 9 player in the nation and was a secondteam All-America selection by that media outlet.
With five players sitting out for various reasons, Tennessee got off to a slow start but overcame early-game jitters to win going away, 90-57, over Carson-Newman University in UT’s lone exhibition game on Nov. 9. C-N led by five with 18:29 to go in the opening stanza, but UT bounced back to take a 41-34 edge into the locker room at the break. Junior center Nia Moore took full advantage of her 35 minutes on The Summitt, scoring 29 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the field and 5-of-7 accuracy from the free throw line. She added five rebounds, four blocks, a steal and an assist while committing no turnovers. Bashaara Graves contributed a doubledouble, as the junior forward scored 16 points and snared 10 rebounds in 31 minutes. Freshman guard Alexa Middleton was

IZZY EXPECTED BACK FOR PENN
ROOKIE FIRST-GAME STARTS Alexa Middleton started vs. Carson-Newman in the exhibition game, and the freshman from Murfreesboro is slated to be in the opening five vs. Penn when the regular season opens Friday night. If Middleton is on the court for tipoff vs. the Quakers, she’ll become the 18th freshman to start her first game as a Lady Vol. Andraya Carter was the last rookie to draw a starting nod, reporting for the opening tip at Chattanooga in 2012. Senior Ariel Massengale also started her first game, as (then) head coach Pat Summitt predicted before Massengale arrived on campus. Massengale made her debut vs. Pepperdine in Knoxville in 2011, tallying two points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals. A year ago, Mercedes Russell had 11 points, seven rebounds, an assist, three blocks and a steal in UT’s opening-game win at Middle Tennessee. In 2012 Bashaara Graves came off the bench to score 14 points and haul down eight rebounds in UT’s opening-night setback at Chattanooga.
GREAT LADY VOL DEBUTS There have been some great Lady Vol debuts, but Patricia Roberts’ effort takes the cake. The senior transfer had 51 points in her first game as a Lady Vol vs. Kentucky on
2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
Nov. 13, 1976. That game also was the first as a player for current UT head coach Holly Warlick. Semeka Randall holds the UT freshman record for most points in a debut with 24 vs. Ole Miss in 1997. Tiffani Johnson set the rookie bar with 17 rebounds and five blocked shots vs. Louisiana Tech in 1994. Jody Adams introduced herself to Big Orange Country with rookie debut bests of nine assists and six steals. Adams also chipped in 10 points and five boards vs. Stetson. There have been six double-doubles by Lady Vol freshmen in their first game. The most recent rookie debut double-double was Glory Johnson’s 17/12 effort vs. San Francisco in 2008. In addition to Johnson 17/12 worksheet, the other freshman debut double-doubles, all of them of the points/rebounds variety, were by Mary Ostrowski (15/10 vs. Alabama in 1980), Lisa Harrison (13/12 vs. Stetson in 1989), Tiffany Johnson (18/17 vs. La. Tech in 1994), Chamique Holdsclaw (13/10 vs. Virginia in 1995) and Candace Parker (19/10 vs. Stetson in 2005).
FIRST TIME VS. PENN This marks the initial meeting between Tennessee and Penn. The Lady Vols will be facing an Ivy League team for only the second time, having put their #1/1 ranking on the line in a 10739 triumph over Princeton in Knoxville on Dec. 20, 2005.
ABOUT THE QUAKERS Penn was 22-7 a year ago and won the Ivy League with a 12-2 record. That victory total by the Penn women tied for the school record. Automatic qualifiers for the NCAA Tournament by virtue of winning their conference, the Quakers lost to Texas in the first round of the tourney, 79-61, in College Park, Md. Penn led that game at the half, 38-31. Eleven letterwinners and three starters return this season. The Quakers have back sophomore Sydney Stipanovich, last year’s Ivy League Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Stipanovich, a 6-foot-3 center, also was a second-team All-Ivy selection along with Kara Bonenberger, a senior on this year’s squad. The Quakers are directed by 2014 Big 5 Coach of the Year Mike McLaughlin, who has a 473-139 career record and is in his sixth year at the helm of the Philadelphia school. Penn is picked to repeat as Ivy League champs. In the last two years, Penn has logged 40 wins, tied for the best two-year total in the program’s history with the 1999-2001 campaigns. Just four years ago, Penn was picked to finish last in the Ivy League but has improved its win total each season under McLaughlin.
GLOBETROTTERS VS. GENERALS Third-year Lady Vol assistant coach Jolette Law is known to Tennessee followers for her stint as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters from 1990-94. Because of her notoriety as one of the few women to perform with that team, Law was saluted with an appearance in M.C. Hammer’s video “Too Legit To Quit.” On the losing end of the score to the Globetrotters most nights are the Washington Generals, the team’s constant opponent. Penn head coach Mike McLaughlin spent three seasons with the Generals, serving as team captain and playing in more than 50 countries around the world.
BOLINGBROOK REUNION Tennessee has three former players from Bolingbrook (lllinois) High School in its program, and Penn has another. The Lady Vols feature junior Nia Moore and senior Ariel Massengale as well as manager Annaya Moore. Penn counters with junior guard Keiera Ray. BHS won three consecutive state titles from 2009 to 2011.
NUMBERS GAME This marks the 70th season of Lady Vol basketball, as recognized by the NCAA. Minus departed senior guard Meighan Simmons and redshirting sophomore center Mercedes Russell, UT returns 70.7% of its points, 83.2% of its rebounds, 81.7% of its assists, 79.5% of its steals, 68.9% of its blocks and 76.2% of its turnovers from last season. Tennessee has 14 players on its roster, marking the most since having 15 in 200405. Twelve are active this season. UT has 10 players on its roster who stand 6-0 or taller, the most in school history. Eight of those six-footers are active this year. There are eight Lady Vols 6-2 or taller on the roster, also the most in school history. Seven of those players are active this season.
FIRST FOUR GAMES ARE AT HOME After hosting one exhibition game, Tennesee will play its first four regular season games at Thompson-Boling Arena. This marks the first time since 2003-04 and only the second occasion since 1974-75 that the Lady Vols have played their first four games at home to open a season. UT starts the regular season vs. Penn (Nov. 14) and follows with Oral Roberts (Nov. 17), Winthrop (Nov. 21) and Tennessee State (Nov. 24), all 7 p.m. ET tips streamed on SEC Network+. UT won’t hit the road until Nov. 26, as the Lady Vols play at Chattanooga and then travel again for a Nov. 30 contest at Texas.

TOUGH SCHEDULE AWAITS UT Tennessee will face eight teams this season that were ranked in the AP Preseason Poll, including five in the top 10. UT also will face eight in the USA Today Coaches Poll, including five in the top 10. Ranked foes in the AP poll include No. 2 South Carolina, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Stanford, No. 9 Texas, No. 11 Kentucky, No. 20 Oregon State and No. 24 Rutgers. UT’s ranked USA Today Coaches Poll opponents include No. 2 South Carolina, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Stanford, No. 10 Kentucky, No. 12 Texas, No. 21 Oregon State and No. 24 LSU. The Lady Vols also meet five teams receiving votes from AP: LSU, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Mississippi State. UT is lined up to face four squads garnering votes in the preseason coaches poll: Rutgers, Georgia, Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Twenty-two of 29 teams on Tennessee’s regular season schedule saw post-season action in 2013-14. Notre Dame and Stanford were 2014 Final Four teams.
UT ENTERS AT NO. 4 IN RANKINGS Tennessee entered the season ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls, which came out on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, respectively. A year ago, UT also entered the campaign ranked fourth by AP and the coaches. Tennessee finished the 2013-14 campaign ranked fourth by AP and third by USA Today.
OTHER PRESEASON PREDICTIONS The Lady Vols were ranked fifth in the espnW.com preseason poll. UT was fifth in Lindy’s Sports Annuals Preseason Top 25. Graham Hays of espnW.com has the Big Orange at seventh. Athlon had Tennessee at No. 7, while The Sporting News ranked the Lady Vols No. 8.
KUDOS FOR HARRISON, GRAVES The five-player AP preseason All-America team was released on Nov. 4. While Isabelle Harrison wasn’t one of those five, she was among 12 other players who garnered votes for the team. espnW.com ranked its top 25 players in advance of the 2014-15 season, and Isabelle Harrison is the No. 9 ranked player. Harrison was an espnW preseason AllAmerica second team choice. Bashaara Graves was the No. 23 ranked player, according to espnW.com.
TENNESSEE NO. 2 IN SEC POLLS Tennessee was picked by both the media (Oct. 21) and coaches (Nov. 5) to finish second in the Southeastern Conference race behind South Carolina. USC won the SEC regular season trophy, and UT claimed the tourney title a year ago. Tennessee won the regular season finale over the Gamecocks last season in Knoxville, 73-61, on March 2. Texas A&M and Kentucky rounded out the top four in both preseason SEC polls.
PRESEASON SEC HONORS FOR TWO League coaches named senior center Isabelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves to the preseason All-SEC First Team. The media, which picks only a five-player preseason All-SEC Team, included Harrison in their all-star quintet.
THE LOGO REMAINS THE SAME UT announced a branding restructure on Nov. 10, and the decision will allow the Lady Volunteers to continue using their highlyrecognizable and successful brand. The restructure won’t take place until July 1, 2015, but the university and all other athletics teams at Tennessee, except for women’s basketball, will then utilize the “Power T” logo. The women’s basketball program was excluded from the transition because of the accomplishments and legacy of the championship program built by Coach Pat Summitt and her former players. “#OneTennessee has united all the athletic programs here at the University of Tennessee,” said head women’s basketball coach Holly Warlick. “The value of this bonding enriches the support we can offer to all student-athletes. We now have unlimited access to our tremendous facilities and programs that not only benefit our current athletes while also promoting our pursuit of excellence to future prospects. “The advantage of a state-of-the-art training facility, our Smokey’s Grill dining facility, where athletes from every sport can eat together, and the modernized future athletic housing are just a few examples of how the One Tennessee premise confirms our high ideals. “The Lady Vol logo, however, has long been the monogram of excellence and a tradition among our loyal basketball fans. This is a symbol that is recognized and linked with a superior standard of women’s basketball worldwide. In the 38 years of Coach Summitt’s storied career, she established a tradition unlike any other in women’s basketball, and she did so under the banner of the Lady Vol logo. It is with deep respect for Coach Summitt and this great tradition that we will continue to wear the Lady Vol logo with great pride.”
NINE LETTERWINNERS RETURN Tennessee returns nine letterwinners, (eight active) including four starters, from last year’s team that went 29-6 overall and 13-3 in the Southeastern Conference, won an SEC tournament championship and made the NCAA Sweet 16. Isabelle Harrison, a 6-foot-3 senior center, is Tennessee’s top returning player and All-America candidate, having averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a junior with an SEC-leading 18 double-doubles. Also back are 6-2 junior forward Bashaara Graves (9.3 ppg., 6.8 rpg.), 6-2 senior forward Cierra Burdick (8.7 ppg., 7.3 rpg.) and 5-6 senior point guard Ariel Massengale (12.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.). Massengale started the first 19 games until a facial injury suffered vs. Florida ended her season. Andraya Carter, now a 5-9 redshirt sophomore, stepped in for Massengale and averaged 6.9 points and 2.3 assists per contest while starting 21 contests.
Carter made the SEC All-Freshman Team last season, while Burdick was named to the 2014 SEC All-Tournament Team. Graves was SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC First Team in 2012-13. Jasmine Jones (4.8 ppg., 3.5 rpg.), a 6-2 junior forward returns as UT’s top defender and most athletic player, while 5-11 sophomore Jordan Reynolds (3.8 ppg., 1.9 rpg.) and 6-3 junior Nia Moore (2.3 ppg., 2.1 rpg.) offer experience at the guard and center positions. Reynolds had 11 points, with most coming down the stretch vs. Kentucky in Tennessee’s SEC Tournament championship game victory.
HARRISON’S STAR ON THE RISE Isabelle Harrison had a breakout junior season, earning All-SEC First Team and SEC Tournament MVP accolades as well as thirdteam Full Court All-America kudos and honorable mention All-America from AP and the WBCA. Harrison ranked first in the SEC in field goal percentage (57.7%) and double-doubles (18), second in rebound average (9.3) and 18th in scoring average (13.6). She set a Tennessee junior record with those 18 double-doubles, passing the previous record holder, Chamique Holdsclaw, who had 16 in 1997-98. Only Candace Parker had more doubledoubles in a season for UT, tallying 21 as a sophomore in 2006-07. From Dec. 14, 2014 to Jan. 9, 2014, Harrison posted seven-straight games with double-doubles, setting a Lady Vol program record for consecutive double-doubles. She scored in double figures in 31 of 35 contests, including 20 games in a row from Nov. 29-Feb. 20. She racked up 20 contests with 10 or more rebounds. Earned SEC Tournament MVP honors after leading UT to its 17th postseason league title, averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in the tourney.
LOOK WHO’S MOVING UP THE CHARTS Tennessee will have several players capable of joining the 38-member Lady Vol 1,000-point club this season. The group includes Isabelle Harrison (815), Bashaara Graves (787), Ariel Massengale (759) and Cierra Burdick (698). Three Lady Vols have 500 or more rebounds, including Harrison (597), Burdick (536) and Graves (519), and it takes 811 or more to break into the school’s all-time leaders list. On the UT career double-doubles list, Harrison ranks eighth with 24, while Bashaara Graves (13) and Cierra Burdick (12) stand No. 23 and No. 25, respectively. Harrison had a UT junior record 18 double-doubles in 2013-14, the second-highest total in Lady Vol history behind Candace Parker (21 as a sophomore). Massengale ranks ninth on UT’s career assists list with 430 through three seasons and has the No. 2 career assist average at 4.9 entering her senior season. Massengale’s 5.8 apg. average in 2013-14 was fourth-best in school history. Massengale is attempting to become only the second Lady Vol to lead the team in assists four straight seasons. Dawn Marsh

(1984-88) is the only one to do it. On the career free throw percentage list, Massengale ranks No. 10 at .796. Harrison enters 2014-15 ranked 10th in career blocks with 105 and is No. 7 on the career block average chart at 1.15. Harrison’s 326 rebounds last season were eighth-most in Tennessee history. Graves ranks No. 10 on UT’s career rebound average list at 7.4 per contest. Graves set a UT record with 14 offensive rebounds vs. Georgia Tech last season.
FOUR SEEK 1,000-POINT MILESTONE Isabelle Harrison (815), Bashaara Graves (787), Ariel Massengale (759) and Cierra Burdick (698) are trying to reach the 1,000-point plateau in their college careeers. Tennessee has had 38 players score 1,000 points, but it has never before had four do so in the same season. There have been nine occasions where Tennessee has had three players with 1,000 points on the same team. The last trio to do that came in 201011, when Angie Bjorklund (1,469), Shekinna Stricklen (1,343) and Glory Johnson (1,132) accomplished that feat.
RUSSELL SITS, SIMMONS GRADUATES Of Tennessee’s nine returning letterwinners this season, one of them won’t be playing in 2014-15 as she redshirts to completely recover from off-season foot surgeries. Mercedes Russell (6.3 ppg., 5.0 rpg.), a 6-6 sophomore center, will sit out, leaving UT with eight active returning letterwinners but allowing the Oregonian three more years of eligibility at Tennessee. The Lady Vols lost only one player to graduation, but it was a key one in Meighan “Speedy” Simmons. Simmons concluded her career as Tennessee’s No. 5 all-time scorer with 2,064 points in 143 games. She is only the fifth player in school history to reach the 2,000-point plateau, join-
ing Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025, 1995-99), Bridgette Gordon (2,462, 1985-89), Candace Parker (2,137, 2005-08) and Tamika Catchings (2,113, 1997-2001). Simmons continued the program’s 100-percent graduation rate when she earned a B.A. in psychology in August 2014. Simmons averaged 16.5 points per game as a senior to rank No. 5 in the SEC in that category. The 5-9 guard was named AP SEC Player of the Year and All-SEC First Team, and earned Full Court All-America Second Team as well as AP and WBCA Honorable Mention All-America distinction. Known for her three-point shooting prowess, Simmons finished with 255 threes in her career to rank No. 4 at UT and her 72 treys in 2013-14 stacked up No. 7.
TUCKER EYES RETURN TO ACTION Big Orange Nation is excited, but no one is more anxious to return to the court this year than 6-0 redshirt freshman guard Jannah Tucker. Tucker was the No. 8 ranked recruit in the 2013 espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, but her journey to playing at Tennessee was sidetracked by two unfortunate situations. First, she suffered an injury to her left knee while playing on the USA U18 squad at the 2012 FIBA Americas Championship. She sat out her senior year of high school rehabbing from that misfortune. Expected to begin attending school at UT during summer 2013, Tucker didn’t arrive on campus until Jan. 2014. It was later learned her delay in coming to UT was the result of her being the victim of domestic violence. Tucker quickly fit in with her teammates and was an encourager on the bench for the squad in 2013-14. A procedure to clean up the knee occurred during summer 2014, and Tucker is progressing toward a return to the court in 2014-15.

DESHIELDS TRANSFERS TO UT After previously announcing her departure from North Carolina, Diamond DeShields shared her decision to transfer to UT from UNC on June 12, 2014, and enrolled here for the second session of summer school. DeShields, a 6-0 sophomore guard from Norcross, Ga., will sit out this season at UT, per NCAA transfer rules. DeShields expressed interest in Tennessee coming out of high school but opted for UNC on signing day. The consensus national freshman of the year for the Tar Heels, DeShields averaged a team-leading 18.0 ppg., 5.4 rpg., 2.6 apg. and 1.7 spg. in 2013-14. She earned honorable mention All-America honors from AP and Full Court and was both All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman. She set four ACC freshman marks, including points (648), field goals (248), field goals attempted (582) and double-figure scoring games (32). DeShields’ mother, Tisha (Milligan) DeShields, was a track & field All-American at Tennessee (heptathlon) in 1991.

UT signed the No. 1 espnW HoopGurlz recruiting class in 2011, No. 5 in 2012, No. 3 in 2013 and No. 6 in 2014. The top-ranked 2011 group, this year’s seniors, included No. 3 Cierra Burdick, No. 4 Ariel Massengale and No. 29 Isabelle Harrison. The 2013 class included No. 1 Mercedes Russell, No. 8 Jannah Tucker and No. 42 Jordan Reynolds, but they now can add that year’s No. 3 recruit, Diamond DeShields. The top signees from 2012 and 2014 are Bashaara Graves (No. 5) and Jaime Nared (No. 6), respectively.
EIGHT MCDONALD’S A-AS ON ROSTER Tennessee has eight McDonald’s AllAmericans on its roster, and six of those players are expected to be on the floor this season. The eight players are Cierra Burdick, Diamond DeShields, Bashaara Graves, Ariel Massengale, Alexa Middleton, Jaime Nared, Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell. DeShields and Russell are redshirting this season. Russell was the 2013 McDonald’s Game MVP, leading the West to a win with 16 points.
Nared led the West to a win in 2014 with 15 points but came up short in MVP voting. Tennessee now has had 26 McDonald’s All-Americans through the years.
LADY VOLS A POPULAR DRAW The Lady Vols will have 21 of 30 games, including 15 of 16 league tilts, scheduled for television this season. Tennessee will be featured 12 times on TV via the SEC Network, four times on ESPN2, twice each on ESPNU and Fox Sports Net, and once on Fox Sports 1. Twenty of those 21 contests also will be available via WatchESPN, with the Fox Sports 1 telecast being the only exception. Fifteen of 16 Big Orange SEC contests will be televised, with the Feb. 12 game at Ole Miss being the exception. The nine non-televised games will be broadcast online. Seven of those events will be carried by SEC Network +, and the others will be on GoMocs.com (Nov. 26 at Chattanooga) and on ESPN3 (Dec. 7 at Lipscomb). MORE GOLD FOR BURDICK Lady Vol senior Cierra Burdick earned her fourth gold medal with USA Basketball over the summer. Burdick joined Sara Hammond (Louisville), Jewell Loyd (Notre Dame) and Tiffany Mitchell (South Carolina) to capture the 2014 FIBA 3x3 World Championship in Moscow, Russia. The USA quartet qualified for the world tourney in May by winning at the 2014 USA Basketball Women’s 3x3 National Championship in Colorado Springs. Burdick also struck gold at the 2011 U19 World Championship, 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.
WE GO TO CLASS & GRADUATE Go to class, be on time and sit in the front three rows are three rules that are Tennessee staples. While some might consider those standards incredibly high, it certainly contributes to the Lady Vols having a 100 percent graduation rate for players who complete their eligibility at UT. It also helps explain why seven of 11 players on last year’s squad were members of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
STRONG SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE Tennessee has the No. 1-ranked facebook page among women’s basketball programs with more than 75,000 Likes. The Lady Vols also rank No. 1 in Twitter among women’s hoops teams, with more than 24,000 followers. After two seasons as head coach at Tennessee Holly Warlick (@HollyWarlick) checks in number five among women’s college basketball coaches with more than 18,000 followers, ranking behind former TV analyst Jimmy Dykes of Arkansas (42,000+), Tyler Summitt of La. Tech (39,000+), Kentucky’s Matthew Mitchell (25,000+) and South Carolina’s Dawn Staley (18,000+).
IT’S NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS Against former Lady Vols as head coaches, Warlick is 4-1, including 3-1 vs. Nikki Caldwell (LSU) and 1-0 vs. Tonya Edwards (Alcorn State).

LADY VOLS HAVE WON 34 TITLES Tennessee upped its total of combined SEC Championships to 34 in 2013-14, winning its 17th all-time SEC Tournament title in Duluth, Ga., 71-70, over Kentucky. The Lady Vols came from 10-down or more to win all three games during the 201314 league tourney. That postseason tournament victory came on the heels of Tennessee’s SEC regular-season title in 2012-13. The Lady Vols have won 17 SEC regularseason championships, including three in the past five seasons. UT has 17 league tournament titles to its credit, including three straight from 2010-12. Since 1985, there have been only five seasons where Tennessee didn’t win at least
SUPPORTING LAUREN HILL Number 22. Only two players have ever had a Lady Vol game jersey with that number on it. After the jersey was retired on Feb. 18, 1980, no basketball player has had a No. 22 Tennessee jersey since then. There wasn’t supposed to be another one until Lauren Hill came along. Hill, a freshman basketball player at Mount St. Joseph University, joins third-year UT head coach Holly Warlick (1976-80) and Joy Scruggs (1971-75) as the only basketball players to possess a Tennessee uniform with double deuces. Hill’s inspirational story moved Warlick, Tennessee’s third-year head coach, and Michael Beaumont, the team’s director of operations, to find a way to show Tennessee’s admiration and support for Hill in any way they could. “We were all very touched and moved by Lauren’s story and her desire to play one more basketball game,” Warlick said. “We’ve talked a lot this preseason about being thankful for what we’ve been given and taking advantage of every day, because you never know what can happen. “Lauren’s attitude and fight and spirit embody exactly what we’ve been trying to convey, so we couldn’t help but connect and relate to her immediately. She’s one of us.”

a regular season or tournament title. Those were 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997 and 2009. The Lady Vols have swept SEC regularseason and tournament championships on eight occasions. Those years were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2010 and 2011. Tennessee stands first in regular season and tournament titles in conference history with Georgia ranking second with seven regular season trophies and Vanderbilt standing sixth in tourney hardware with six pieces.
17TH SEC POSTSEASON CROWN Sixth-ranked Tennessee captured its record 17th SEC Tournament title with a 71-70 victory over No. 12 Kentucky in Duluth, Ga., on March 9. UT had dropped a 75-71 decision to UK in Knoxville during the regular season and ended a two-game Wildcat winning streak in the series. During the SEC tourney final, senior Meighan Simmons became the fifth Lady Vol to score 2,000 points in her career, tallying a team-high 17 to boost her past 2K. Junior center Isabelle Harrison added 16 points, and freshman guard Jordan Reynolds, who was clutch down the stretch, finished with 11 points to help UT prevail. Harrison was named SEC Tournament MVP, while Cierra Burdick added 10 boards in the final and joined her teammate on the all-tourney team. The No. 2 seed Lady Vols have won four of the last six SEC Tournament titles and seven of the past 10. For the ninth time, Tennessee finished the regular season in second place, and for the ninth time, the Lady Vols went on to win the SEC Tournament. Tennessee now is 17-5 in SEC Tournament championship games, winning seven consecutive title games it has played in dating back to 2005. The Lady Vols are 73-18 all-time in the SEC Tournament over its 35 years of existence, including an 18-2 mark since 2008.
SIMMONS FINISHES FIFTH IN SCORING Meighan Simmons wrapped up her prolific Lady Vol career on March 30, 2014, scoring 31 points vs. Maryland in her collegiate finale. That tally pushed her career total to 2,064, ranking her fifth in UT women’s basketball history. Simmons joined Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025), Bridgette Gordon (2,462), Candace Parker (2,137) and Tamika Catchings (2,113) as the only Tennessee women to eclipse the 2,000-point plateau in their college careers. Simmons started 127 of her 143 games as a Lady Vol, averaging 14.4 points per contest from 2010-14 to rank ninth in UT annals. She is tied for fourth among all Lady Vols in career games played and fifth in games started. A noted long-range bomber, Simmons tied her own UT record for most three-pointers in a game with eight vs. Virginia on Nov. 28, 2013. Simmons finished fourth in career threes with 255 and her total of 72 last season was the seventh-most by a Lady Vol in a single campaign, following the 69 (No. 8) she drained as a junior. Her career field goal attempts (740) rank No. 1 in Big Orange history.
In total field goals made, Simmons ranks No. 6 (746) in Tennessee history and is No. 3 (1,834) in field goals attempted. Simmons scored in double figures 30 times as a senior and did so on 109 occasions in her career. In her tenure, Simmons scored 20 or more points on 30 occasions and 30 or more four times. She had 10 20-point efforts and three 30-point performances in 2013-14.
IZZY A DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE Isabelle Harrison had a UT junior record and SEC-leading 18 double-doubles in 201314, passing the old mark of 16 by Chamique Holdsclaw. Harrison’s total ranked second only to Candace Parker’s sophomore year sum of 21 in UT history. The junior ended her third season with 24 career double-doubles and ranks No. 8 in UT annals. Harrison shot 57.7 percent from the field and averaged 9.3 rebounds and 13.6 points a year ago, ranking first, second and 18th in the SEC, respectively, in those categories.
MASSENGALE AMONG UT’S ELITE In an injury-curtailed season, Ariel Massengale averaged 5.8 assists per game in 2013-14, a rate that was fourth-best in school history. She ranks No. 2 in career apg. at 4.9 and her 430 career assists rank her No. 9 at Tennessee. Massengale is seeking to become only the second player in school history to lead UT in assists all four years. Dawn Marsh is the other.
THOMAS, UMD END UT’S SEASON No. 1 seed Tennessee’s season came to an abrupt halt with a 73-62 loss to fourth-seeded Maryland on March 30, 2014, in the Sweet 16 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. The Lady Vols finished 2013-14 with a 29-6 record, including a 13-3 SEC mark that left them second in the SEC regular season race. Senior Meighan Simmons tallied 31 points in her final college game, while Jasmine Jones chipped in 11 as the only other Lady Vol in double figures. Bashaara Graves corralled 14 rebounds, and Isabelle Harrison grabbed 10 boards to pace UT on the glass. Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas fired in a career-high 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Terps on to the Elite Eight. Lexie Brown added 14 points, while Laurin Mincy tossed in 11. It marked Tennessee’s 32nd visit to the Sweet 16, and UMD prevented the Lady Vols from making their 27th Elite Eight appearance. Simmons was named to the NCAA AllLouisville Regional Team.
LADY VOLS WIN JUNKANOO JAM Ariel Massengale paced No. 3/4 Tennessee with 16 points, and the Lady Vols used a big second half to crush SMU, 87-47, on Nov. 29 and win the Lucaya Division championship of the 11th-annual Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas. The win marked UT’s first holiday tournament title since winning the 2005 Paradise
Jam during Thanksgiving break in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It also was UT’s first-ever countable regular season victory in a true foreign country. The Lady Vols advanced to Friday’s title game after defeating Virginia, 76-67, on Thursday. Tennessee shot 46.6 percent vs. SMU, including 55.9 percent in the second half (19of-34). UT outscored the Mustangs, 48-20, after halftime and enjoyed a 54-31 rebounding advantage for the game. Meighan Simmons paced UT past UVa in the first round game, firing in a season-best 32 points and nailing a career-high-tying eight three-pointers. Simmons was named the tourney’s MVP, while Massengale joined her on the all-tournament team.
SIMMONS TAKEN IN THIRD ROUND The New York Liberty snagged Tennessee’s Meighan Simmons with the the 26th overall selection of the WNBA Draft. Simmons, who lasted until the second pick of the third round, continued Tennessee’s rich history in the WNBA Draft, becoming the 38th player to join the league. She also became the second Lady Vol of the Holly Warlick era to have her name called on draft night, following in the footsteps of last year’s second-round pick, Kamiko Williams, who also was taken by New York. Simmons became the fifth Tennessee product to join the Liberty and the third in three seasons. Kelley Cain was taken by New York in 2012 (7th pick/1st Rd.) to start the trend. Other Liberty selections include Loree Moore in 2005 (10th pick/1st Rd.) and Alberta Auguste (35th pick/3rd Rd.) in 2008. Another UT alum, Nicky Anosike, began the 2014 preseason on the New York Libery’s roster as well.
vs. Texas A&M and seven of 12 vs. Kentucky. Tennessee has had 15 SEC Tournament MVPs through the years, with a Lady Vol winning four of the last five awards. Glory Johnson (2012), Shekinna Stricklen (2011) and Alyssia Brewer (2010) were the past three SEC Tournament MVPs from Tennessee prior to Harrison. Junior forward Cierra Burdick was chosen for the SEC All-Tournament Team, as well, after averaging 10.3 rebounds and 8.3 points over three games for the Lady Vols.
LADY VOL ACADEMIC ACCLAIM Seven of 11 players on the 2013-14 Lady Vol roster were recognized for their work in the classroom last season. Tennessee put five players on the 2014 SEC Academic Honor Roll, including Cierra Burdick, Bashaara Graves, Isabelle Harrison, Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter. Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell were named to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.

HEAD COACH HOLLY WARLICK
THE WARLICK FILE Born: June 11, 1958 Education: Bearden High School (Knoxville, Tenn.),‘76 B.S., Tennessee, ‘81 M.S., Virginia Tech, ‘83 Playing Career: University of Tennessee (1976-80): three-time All-American, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, 1980 Olympic Team, first player at UT to have her jersey (#22) retired For more than three decades, Holly Warlick has been instrumental in the phenomenal success story that is Tennessee Lady Vols basketball. Her impact on the program stretches from her ground-breaking days as a three-time All-America point guard at UT (1976-80), to her 27 highlyproductive years as a loyal assistant for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt, to her ascension to the head coaching position at UT. Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart named Warlick head coach of the Lady Vols on April 18, 2012, as Summitt stepped into the role of head coach emeritus. In a touching and symbolic gesture the following day at a press conference announcing the changes, Summitt presented her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and former floor general. Warlick proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was up to the task with her debut effort in 2012-13. Despite having a young, inexperienced team that was picked to finish as low as fifth in the SEC and 20th nationally, the first-year head coach impressively directed her troops to a 27-8 overall record and a 14-2 mark in league play. That effort earned Tennessee its 17th all-time SEC regular season title, and it enabled a team that saw injuries force players to miss a combined total of 53 games to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the 26th time in school history. Improvement demonstrated by players not only translated into wins on the court, it also resulted in postseason attention. Meighan Simmons was named a thirdteam AP All-American, SEC Co-Player of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Bashaara Graves was chosen a Full Court Freshman All-American, SEC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Kamiko Williams, meanwhile, was taken in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Warlick also was singled out for her performance, which included scoring a top-three recruiting class complete with the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in 6-foot-6 Mercedes Russell. The members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named her the Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year. She was selected by AP and league coaches as the SEC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, and members of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association also chose her as TSWA Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. In year two, Warlick directed the team to a 29-6 record and the program’s second SEC trophy in as many years with the capturing of the 2014 SEC Tournament. Among her top players were AP SEC Player of the Year Meighan Simmons, who was a third-round WNBA Draft pick of the New York Liberty, and Isabelle Harrison, a firstteam All-SEC choice and the SEC tourney’s MVP. Warlick and her staff also continued building for the future, landing the nation’s number six signing class in 2014. Anchoring that group are McDonald’s All-Americans Jaime Nared and Alexa Middleton, the nation’s No. 6 and No. 28 ranked players. After Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball as an assistant on Summitt’s staff for more than a quarter of a century, the pupil took on greater responsibility and oversaw daily supervision of the basketball office during the 2011-12 season. She also handled a large measure of the media obligations after Summitt’s Aug.
23, 2011, announcement regarding the diagnosis of earlyonset dementia, “Alzheimer’s type.” Providing an excellent example of how people rally around each other, the Tennessee staff members pulled together remarkably in the face of that adversity. The end result was a 27-9 overall record, a league-best 16th SEC Tournament Championship and advancement to the NCAA Regional Final. It’s worth noting that Warlick was by Summitt’s side, either as a player or an assistant, for 949 of the coach’s NCAA-record 1,098 wins and all eight NCAA National Championships. Her value to the program has been evident for some time, as she had held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also had recognized Warlick’s contributions to Tennessee’s success through the years, naming Warlick the nation’s top assistant coach after she helped lead UT to its seventh national title in 2007. The NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches also recognized Warlick as one of the nation’s top assistants in 1998, ranking her prominently in The Women’s Basketball Journal poll. In addition to the NCAA title and coaching honor in 2007, Warlick also teamed up for the first time with former fellow Lady Vol player and assistant Nikki Caldwell, the current head coach at LSU, to pursue her other passion. That pursuit is riding a motorcycle and raising money for the fight against breast cancer. Warlick and Caldwell created the Champions For A Cause Foundation, a long haul motorcycle ride dedicated to raising funds and awareness for a cure for breast cancer. The charitable organization has raised and donated more than $150,000. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips from the Badlands to Las Vegas and from Knoxville to Key West, Fla., New Orleans, Niagara Falls and, most recently in 2013 and 2014, Panama City, Fla. With all of her accomplishments in coaching and in her charitable endeavors it might be easy to overlook the fact that Warlick left just as powerful a mark on women’s hoops as a player at UT. It doesn’t seem that long ago that the charismatic Knoxville native was flying up and down the court as an All-America Lady Vol point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been considered the finest point guard ever to play for the Lady Vols. In addition to being selected to the CONVERSE/Lady Vol Team of the Decade for the 1980s in January of 1994, five different halls of fame opened their doors to her. On Feb. 27, 2004, she was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In October 2002, she became a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame in the second class of inductees. In June 2001, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selected Warlick as one of 10 inductees enshrined into the Hall for the Class of 2001. For the hometown girl, who grew up in the Rocky Hill section of Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School, it was a dream-come-true. In the summer of 1994, Warlick gained admission to her first hall of fame. She was honored as one of the City of Knoxville’s finest all-time athletes with her inclusion in the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including the 2013-14 season, Warlick has invested 33 years in the program, having helped shape UT into a national powerhouse with tenure as both a player and a coach. Warlick’s expertise and major contributions to the team as an assistant came from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm All-America Team. Additionally, Warlick has been a highly-successful recruiter for the backcourt, attracting some of the nation’s finest players to UT to continue the excellence she helped establish as a player. The Lady Vols welcomed another top flight guard to the Orange and White for 2010-11 when she landed McDonald’s All-American Ariel Massengale. As a rookie in 2011-12, Massengale lived up to her billing, earning Full Court Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. The point guard posted a UT freshman record of 162 assists, ranking second in the SEC in that category, and leading the conference in assist-toturnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak AllAmerican and four-time Lady Vol All-SEC performer Kara Lawson and three-time All-SEC selection Shanna Zolman. That trio accounts for the school records for most of UT’s three-point marks. Warlick’s association with the Lady Vols started in 1976 when she joined the program as a scholarship 400-meter track athlete who ended up walking on to the basketball team. Soon, she would become the most prolific player in the history of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball. Warlick was the first player in Tennessee athletics (men or women) to have her jersey retired (number 22) at the end of her career in 1980. Bearden, her prep alma mater in Knoxville, retired Warlick’s high school jersey (also No. 22) prior to a home football game on Oct. 26, 2012. Known as a play-making wiz during her four years as UT’s point guard, Warlick was once tabbed the “best player in the South.” As a rookie, Warlick helped lead the Lady Vols to their first Final Four appearance in school his-

tory in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 33 years Warlick has been affiliated with UT, she has found herself at the Final Four as a player (1977, 1979, 1980) or as a coach (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Her best Final Four showing as a player was national championship runner-up in her senior season. As a coach, she has helped the Lady Vols win all eight times (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008). A three-time All-American while playing for Summitt from 1976-80, Warlick previously held UT records for most assists in a game (14), most steals in a contest (nine), most assists in a season (225) and most games in a career (142). She continues to hold the Lady Vol single-season steals record with 141 in 1978-79. Warlick possesses vast international experience as well. A member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic basketball team, Warlick also participated in the Jones C up, Pan American Games and World Championship competition. In addition, she was a WPBL All-Star, leading the Nebraska Wranglers to the championship of the Women’s Professional Basketball League in 1981. She has served as a player representative on the USA BASKETBALL council and was a member of the USOC Advisory Council for Basketball. In recognition of being a former Olympian, Warlick earned the distinct honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville as it made its way to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to joining the Tennessee staff for the 1985-86 season, Warlick gained experience at two other stops on the coaching circuit. She was an assistant at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 1983-85 at Nebraska. A native of Knoxville, Warlick earned her B.S. in marketing from Tennessee in 1981 and her master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1983. Warlick added “biker” to her vitae in 2001. To commemorate her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a number of Warlick’s friends got together and presented her with a Harley-Davidson “Sportster” motorcycle. Just six years later, Warlick already was using her love of the bike towards a greater cause, establishing the Champions For A Cause Foundation with Caldwell.
