GAME 26 SET-UP #11/10 Tennessee (20-5/11-1 SEC) and Auburn (14-11/3-9 SEC) meet on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. Eastern at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. This marks the 48th time these programs have gotten together. The game will not be televised, but it will be streamed on UT Sports.com/AllAccess. The Lady Vols, who stand alone atop the SEC standings, are coming off an 83-64 home victory over Vanderbilt on Feb. 17, as UT won 20 games in a season for the 37th-straight year and improved to 28-0 vs. Vanderbilt in Knoxville and 62-8 overall. The UT women have won three straight since being upset at Missouri on Feb. 3. Tennessee has triumphed in 15 of its last 16 games vs. SEC foes, dating back to last season, including seven in a row at home and seven of its last eight on the road. Auburn snapped an eight-game losing streak on Sunday, as the Tigers rolled past instate rival Alabama, 70-53, at Auburn Arena. The Tigers tasted victory for the first time since beating Ole Miss on Jan. 10, 76-52, when they had improved to 13-3 overall and 2-1 in SEC play at that point. First-year Auburn coach Terry WilliamsFlournoy was previously at Georgetown. Under her direction, the #12/13 Hoyas defeated #4/4 UT in the 2010 Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 69-58 in the first-ever meeting between the schools. Tennessee was the SEC runner-up a year ago (27-9/12-4 SEC) and was picked to finish fourth this season by the media and fifth by the coaches. Auburn finished ninth in the SEC last season (13-17/5-11) and was predicted to place 10th by both the media and coaches in the SEC race this season. Tennessee is 477-71 (.870) all-time vs. schools who are current members of the Southeastern Conference, including 328-45 (.879) in the regular season.
