1,000 REASONS TO LOVE SIMMONS  Junior Meighan Simmons recently returned to her home state for a pair of games.  Simmons dropped in 18 vs. Texas and 16 vs. Baylor, leading the squad in both games.  A group of 34 friends and family members were on hand in Austin for the contest vs. Texas, where Simmons overcame a tough start shooting to net a team-high 18 points while adding three assists, steals and rebounds in 32 minutes.  The native of Cibolo, Texas (Byron P. Steele H.S.) ranks third in the SEC in scoring this season at 17.1 points per game and is off to the best start of her career.  She scored a team-leading 13.5 points per contest as a freshman and averaged 11.1 in 201112.  Simmons scored a career-high 33 points and eclipsed the 1,000-point scoring plateau in the win over North Carolina.  Named espnW and SEC Player of the Week after the performance vs. UNC.  “Speedy” has scored in double ﬁgures 56 times during her UT career, including eight times in 2012-13.  Simmons has scored 20+ points three times this year and on 13 total occasions during her career.  Simmons leads Tennessee in steals per game at 2.0, and her embracing of defense not only has improved her game but also has bolstered the Lady Vols.  Simmons ranks fourth in the SEC with a

 PASSING THE BATON: PAT SUMMITT HANDS OFF TO HOLLY WARLICK SUMMITT STEPS INTO NEW ROLE  On April 18, 2012, the all-time wins leader among NCAA basketball coaches, Pat Summitt, announced in a press conference at Thompson-Boling Arena that she was stepping away from her head coaching position and into the role of head coach emeritus after 38 seasons (1974-2012) at the helm of the Tennessee Lady Vols.  Summitt will report to Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart and will serve in a variety of endeavors. In that capacity, she will continue to serve the women’s basketball program and its coaching staff and as a liaison to the director of athletics, remain involved in on-campus recruiting and serve as a personal mentor to players, including life skills coaching.  Summitt ﬁnished her head coaching career at Tennessee with a 1,098-208 record and an .841 winning percentage.  The Lady Vols won an unparalleled eight national championships under her leadership (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007, 2008) and played in 13 national championship games.  Tennessee also won the SEC Championship and SEC Tournament title 16 times

each, and Summitt was named SEC Coach of the Year eight times and NCAA Coach of the Year in seven seasons.  Her sixth national championship team, the 1997-98 team, ﬁnished a perfect 39-0.  “It is extremely difficult to adequately express what Pat Summitt has meant to the University of Tennessee, the sport of basketball and the growth of women’s athletics nationally,” said Hart. “She is an icon who does not view herself in that light, and her legacy is well-deﬁned and everlasting. Just like there will never be another John Wooden, there will never be another Pat Summitt. I look forward to continuing to work with her in her new role. She is an inspiration to everyone.”

WARLICK CHOSEN TO LEAD UT  After Summitt’s announcement was made, associate head coach Holly Warlick, a long-time assistant on the Tennessee staff and a three-time All-American as a player for the Lady Vols, was named Summitt’s successor by Dave Hart.  Warlick, who in 2011-12 completed her 27th season as an assistant coach for Tennessee and her 31st overall with the pro-

2012-13 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS

gram as a player or coach, is the ﬁrst head coach of the Lady Vols other than Summitt since 1974, when Margaret Hutson completed a four-year tenure as the leader of the program (1971-74).  Named associate head coach before the 2005-06 season, Warlick has been on the Tennessee coaching staff for all eight NCAA titles, and as a player or assistant, she had a role in 949 of Summitt’s 1,098 victories at Tennessee.  “Holly Warlick has earned the opportunity to be the head women’s basketball coach at the University of Tennessee and to lead the Lady Vol program she has embraced as a player and a coach,” Hart said. “I watched Holly grow tremendously as a coach throughout this past season. Under unique circumstances, the job she did away from the glare of the lights and crowds was as impressive as the job she did during game action. At this time in our historic program, which Pat Summitt built from scratch, Holly Warlick, the former player and long-time assistant coach, is deserving of the head coaching position. Her mentor will be available for insight and advice, but this is Holly’s team now.”

 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 highly-productive 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 at a press conference announcing the changes, Summitt presented her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and former floor general. While Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball 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 announcement regarding the diagnosis of early onset 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. As Warlick embarks on her 28th season on the staff at Tennessee, it is important to note that she 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 has held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also 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 $125,000, and in the spring of 2011 the

duo led a fifth annual trip - this time from the Badlands to Las Vegas. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips to Key West, Fla., New Orleans and Niagara Falls. On Feb. 10, 2008, Warlick and Caldwell presented a $10,000 check to the late N.C. State Head Coach Kay Yow and the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. 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 a Lady Vol All-America point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been considered the finest point guard to ever 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 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 (where her No. 22 basketball jersey was retired on Oct. 26, 2012), 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 Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including this season, Warlick has invested 32 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 have come from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, freshman point guard Meighan Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm AllAmerica 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-to-turnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak All-American 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 walked 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 (No. 22) at the end of her career in 1980. 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 history in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 31 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 grab the brass ring 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 brings vast international experience to the Lady Vols as well. A member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic basketball team, Warlick also participated in the Jones Cup, 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 honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville on ts way to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. 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 coach at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 198385 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.

KAMIKO SHOWS OUT IN WACO  Kamiko Williams was one of Tennessee’s standouts in the loss at Baylor.  The senior posted her ﬁrst career doubledouble, scoring 15 points and grabbing a career-best 10 rebounds in a season-high 31 minutes of play vs. BU.  Williams’ point total was the second-best of her career, and her six assists were the most she’s ever dished out.

INJURY ENDS CARTER’S CAMPAIGN  Freshman Andraya Carter underwent arthroscopic surgery Dec. 13 to repair a labral tear in her right shoulder.  Doctors Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher performed the procedure to address instability in Carter’s shoulder.  The 5-foot-9 guard suffered an injury to that shoulder last year in high school and reinjured it this season vs. Miami with aggravations of that ailment occuring in the Middle Tennessee and North Carolina games.  Carter’s recovery is expected to take four to six months. Tennessee will apply for a hardship waiver after the season for Carter.  She is expected to meet the requirements (playing in less than 30 percent of the team’s scheduled contests in the first half of the season) and would still have four years of eligibility remaining if the waiver is granted  The rookie from Flowery Branch, Ga., played in Tennessee’s initial seven games in 2012-13, starting the first five. She was averaging 5.3 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 20.6 minutes per contest.

CARTER-SMITH HUSTLE PLAYER  With freshman Andraya Carter out for the season, someone needs to step up and provide the hustle and determination the 5-9 dynamo brought to the court.  To recognize the player who does just that each game, the Andraya Carter-Adam Smith Hustle Player of the Game Award will be announced in the locker room afterward.  The winning player is awarded a small, stuffed animal, dubbed the “Hustle Bear.”  For coming off the bench and contributing 10 points and nine boards vs. Texas and doing her best to channel Carter’s competitive effort and energy on both ends of the ﬂoor in the victory, Carter’s classmate, Jasmine Jones, was named the ﬁrst recipient afterward.  Other winners include: Kamiko Williams (Baylor).  Adam Smith was a high school friend and basketball player at Carter’s prep alma mater, Buford High School in Georgia. He collapsed during conditioning drills and passed away on Sept. 16, 2012.  Carter had been wearing an armband with Smith’s initials during practices and games.

2012-13 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS

BEAST MODE  To say that UT freshman forward/center Bashaara Graves has been an impact player would be an understatement.  Her teammates affectionately call her a “beast” for her productive play.  After coming off the bench in the opener, Graves has been a staple in the starting lineup.  She was the only player on the team to score in double ﬁgures in every game until the Baylor contest, when she had only six points.  Graves is the team leader in rebounding (8.1 rpg) and ranks second for UT in scoring (14.1 ppg.) and steals per contest (1.4), and she is third in minutes per game (27.4).  She has been UT’s scoring leader three times (18 vs. Ga. Tech/20 vs. Miami/15 vs. Stanford) and paced UT’s rebound effort vs. Georgia Tech, Middle Tennessee, Texas and Stanford, posting double-doubles of 18/10 in UT’s ﬁrst win of the season vs. GT, 15/12 vs. Middle Tennessee and 15/12 vs. Stanford.  Graves’ effort vs. Georgia Tech, along with 14 points and eight rebounds vs. Chattanooga, led to her being named the SEC Freshman of the Week on Nov. 12.

“MAMA” MASSENGALE  Sophomore point guard Ariel Massengale has drawn praise from coach Warlick and teammates alike for taking a more vocal leadership role on this team.  Massengale had a season-high seven assists in the wins over UNC on Dec. 2 and Texas on Dec. 16 and is averaging 3.9 per game.  Massengale has stepped up her scoring of late, scoring 14+ points in three of her last seven games.  She was ﬁve of seven from the ﬁeld and four of four from the line vs. Texas.  Her roommates Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison call their point guard Mama Massengale and cite her “bossy” ways on and off the court as being the trait they like having in a point guard.  Among Massengale’s “motherly” duties, apparently, is keeping her roomies from grabbing late-night snacks from the kitchen.

PHILLIPS RETURNS TO PRACTICE  After not dressing for the Middle Tennessee and North Carolina games, sophomore guard Jasmine Phillips travelled with UT to the Texas and Baylor games. She did not play, but she is once again practicing with the team.  Holly Warlick held Phillips out of workouts and games, starting just before the Middle Tennessee contest, requiring her to make a stronger commitment to her academic work.  Phillips also suffered a strained left quad in the preseason that has limited her to only two game appearances, coming vs. Rice and Alcorn State.

NO MERCY VS. FAMILY  Holly Warlick is 1-0 as head coach vs. teams directed by former Lady Vols and 3-0 against teams with former UT staffers on the basketball staff payroll.  Tennessee beat Alcorn State (90-37), which was led by former UT player Tonya Ed-

wards as the Lady Braves’ head coach.  The Lady Vols toppled Middle Tennessee (88-81 ot), which employs former Lady Vol Alex Fuller as an assistant coach and former UT video coordinator Dustin Edwards as director of operations.  UT also handled North Carolina, 102-57, with former Lady Vol graduate assistant Sylvia Hatchell at the helm for the Tar Heels.

IZZY HAS STEPPED UP  Through 10 games, Isabelle Harrison is Tennessee’s top shot blocker (2.3), secondleading rebounder (7.0 rpg.) and ranks fourth on the team in scoring (8.9 ppg.).  Harrison is second on the team in doubledoubles this season and is tied for sixth in the SEC with three. She carded totals of 13 points and 12 rebounds in the opener vs. Chattanooga, tallied sums of 16 points and 12 boards vs. Rice and produced 18 points and 11 boards vs. North Carolina.  She has scored in double figures five times in nine games played.  Izzy has blocked 21 shots this season, including a career-best six swats in the game vs. Middle Tennessee. Her 2.3 bpg. average ranks third in the SEC.  Harrison scored in double figures only three times all last season and averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per contest.

Nine came in the ﬁrst half.  UT had a season low of seven turnovers vs. Rice.  The Lady Vols had 20 miscues in the fastpaced UNC game, while forcing the Tar Heels into 30.  Tennessee had its second-lowest turnover total of the season vs. Texas, committing only 12 vs. the Longhorns.  Even in the loss at No. 3/3 Baylor, UT committed only 13 turnovers, one fewer than the Lady Bears.  Tennessee turned the ball over only 10 times vs. No. 1/1 Stanford.

DISH NETWORK  Ariel Massengale leads UT in assists through 10 games with 39 and at 3.9 per contest is 11th in the SEC.  Massengale dished out 162 assists last season as a freshman, the most-ever by a Lady Vol rookie and the eighth-most in school history.  It was the highest total of assists in a season by a UT player since Michelle Marciniak had 204 in 1994-95.  That total ranked her second in the SEC last season with an average of 4.9 per contest, also the No. 2 all-time career average at UT at this point of her career.

WORKING THE BOARDS  Tennessee is outrebounding its opponents, 46.1 to 40.6, thus far.  The Lady Vols have outrebounded their opponents in seven of 10 games, with Miami and Baylor being the only squads to win the battle vs. the Big Orange and Stanford equalling UT’s total of 41 boards.  When they played, Tennessee was the only team to outrebound Texas.  Freshman Bashaara Graves is leading the way, pulling down 8.1 per contest.  Sophomore Isabelle Harrison is second, averaging 7.0 per contest, while sophomore Cierra Burdick is tallying 6.3 per outing.  Harrison had 12 boards vs. Chattanooga and Rice, and 11 vs. North Carolina.  Graves posted 12 vs. Georgia Tech, Middle Tennessee and Stanford, and 10 vs. Texas.  Jasmine Jones had 11 against Alcorn State.  Burdick posted 10 vs. Miami and North Carolina.  Kamiko Williams had 10 vs. Baylor.

CHANGES AT THE SUMMITT  Pat Summitt attended both of UT’s exhibition contests and the season opener at Chattanooga, but she was not in the crowd at Georgia Tech on Nov. 11.  It marked the ﬁrst time the NCAA’s alltime winningest coach was not at a Lady Vol game since Margaret Hutson was on the bench for UT in 1974.  The home opener vs. Rice marked the ﬁrst time someone other than Summitt has been head coach for the Lady Vols in a regular season home game since the 1974 campaign.  Summitt also did not attend the game at Miami, as her son Tyler, an assistant coach for

SUMMITT DROPPED OPENER TOO  Not that it’s any solace for Lady Vol coach Holly Warlick, but her mentor, Pat Summitt, also dropped her ﬁrst game as UT head coach.  Summitt’s 1974-75 squad fell to Mercer in Knoxville on Dec. 7, 1974, by a score of 84-83.  The troops were rallied by Summitt, UT won the next six games and the squad went on to a 16-8 mark that season.  Tennessee had ﬁve seniors and a junior on that 1974-75 squad, while the 2012-13 edition includes two seniors and a junior for its upperclass.  While Summitt’s unit reeled off six straight wins after its opening-day loss, Warlick’s club one-upped that year’s team, ripping off seven

in a row before faltering again.

EXHIBITION SUMMARY  Tennessee defeated its two NCAA Division II exhibition opponents by an average score of 111-44.  The Lady Vols defeated Carson-Newman, 104-44, on Nov. 1 and followed with a 118-44 conquest of Coker on Nov. 4.  The Big Orange averaged 10,392 fans for the exhibition slate, with 10,647 attending the Carson-Newman contest and 10,137 there for Coker.  Junior Meighan Simmons was the top scorer through two preseason games, averaging 22 points per contest and also dishing out a team-leading six assists per outing.  Freshman Bashaara Graves averaged a double-double, scoring 19.5 points and pulling down 10 rebounds per game.  Junior Meighan Simmons, sophomore Isabelle Harrison and freshman Andraya Carter started both contests. Freshman Bashaara Graves (Coker), sophomore Cierra Burdick (C-N), freshman Jasmine Jones (Coker) and senior Taber Spani (C-N) started one game.

TAKE THE BATON AND LET’S GO!!  UT head coach Holly Warlick, who arrived at UT in 1976 as a scholarship track & field athlete, walked on and later earned a basketball scholarship and became a three-time All-American on the hardwood, used a wellknown track & field prop to demonstrate to her team what the expectations are and what needs to be done in this time of transition.  During a team meeting in August, Warlick gave everyone involved with the program a white baton with inscriptions providing a simplified explanation of what is occurring, emphasizing that the program’s values remain the same and encouraging everyone to hit the ground running.  “TENNESSEE LADY VOLS Tradition...All we are doing is passing the baton.”  “NEW TEAM, NEW STAFF, NEW GOALS... SAME HEART, SAME PRIDE, SAME FIGHT.”  “TAKE THE BATON AND LET’S GO!!”

A LOOK AT THE RANKINGS  After a 1-1 opening week, UT fell to No. 24 in the AP Poll and No. 20 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

 After winning its next seven contests entering the week, UT rose to No. 10 in the AP Poll and No. 11 in the USA Today Poll.  Tennessee has been in every AP rankings list since the 14th poll of the 1984-85 season.  After week one, the Lady Vols fell outside the top 20, however, for the ﬁrst time since the 13th poll of the 1984-85 campaign.  UT began the campaign ranked No. 20 in the Associated Press Preseason Poll and No. 16 in the USA Today Coaches Preseason Poll.  It marked UT’s lowest preseason AP Poll position since not being ranked in the inaugural AP Poll in 1976-77, Holly Warlick’s freshman season at Tennessee.  The previous regular season low before this season came when Tennessee dropped to 19th in the 16th AP Poll of the 2008-09 campaign before ﬁnishing in 18th position.  The Lady Vols concluded the 2011-12 campaign at No. 9 in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today/ESPN Poll.

COACHING ALMA MATER TO TOP 25  Holly Warlick is the 30th women’s coach to play for and coach a team ranked in the AP Poll.  She’s just the seventh to do it at the same school.

SEC PRESEASON POLLS, ACCOLADES  Tennessee was picked to ﬁnish fourth in the SEC by the media and ﬁfth by the coaches in the preseason polls.  UT ranked behind Kentucky, Georgia and Vanderbilt in the media poll and was picked to wind up behind Kentucky, Georgia, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt by the coaches.  In SEC media poll history, fourth is the lowest the Lady Vols have been predicted behind nods for third in 1990-91, 1995-96 and 1996-97, all years in which Tennessee won NCAA titles.  Junior guard Meighan Simmons was a Preseason All-SEC First Team selection by the coaches and a second-team choice by the media, while the coaches put Ariel Massengale on the second team.

GOLDEN ARCHES CLUB  Freshman Bashaara Graves adds to the current list of Tennessee players who were McDonald’s All-Americans during their high school days.  Also in that club are Cierra Burdick, Ariel Massengale, Meighan Simmons and Taber Spani.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES  Head coach Emeritus Pat Summitt and former Lady Vol player Michelle Marciniak were inducted into the Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame on Nov. 2.  There is a 10-year post-career waiting period for student-athletes and a ﬁve-year period for coaches and staff, but the selection committee voted to waive that requirement for Summitt.  Summitt and Marciniak join Holly Warlick and a host of other hoops heroines in UT’s women’s sports hall.  Warlick was inducted as a player in the

RETIRED #22 JERSEY FOR HOLLY  Holly Warlick already had her #22 jersey retired at UT, and she added another retired #22 this fall.  On Oct. 26 at a home football game, Knoxville’s Bearden High School retired her basketball jersey.  A number of family, friends, colleagues, basketball staff and players and former high school coach Buddy Fisher were on hand for the special occasion.  Warlick was a two-sport star who graduated in 1976 and came to UT on a track scholarship. She walked on to the basketball team and went on to become a three-time AllAmerican on the hardwood for Pat Summitt.

NEW FACES, NEW ROLES  In addition to Holly Warlick ﬁlling the head coaching position and Pat Summitt working in the role of head coach emeritus, there are other changes to the staff.  Former Lady Vol player (1996-2001) Kyra Elzy returned to UT as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator after spending the past four seasons coaching at Kentucky and serving as recruiting coordinator.  Former Iowa standout and Harlem Globetrotter Jolette Law is UT’s second new assistant coach. Known as a key contributor to Rutgers’ success during her 12 seasons there, Law most recently served as head coach at Illinois from 2007-12.  Elzy and Law ﬁll the spots previously occupied by Warlick and Mickie DeMoss, who left after last season to take an assistant coaching job with the WNBA’s Indiana Fever.  Veteran assistant Dean Lockwood is back for his ninth year with the Lady Volunteers.

ONLY THREE IN UPPERCLASS  Tennessee has only two seniors this season, including 6-1 guard/forward Taber Spani and 5-11 guard Kamiko Williams. Both missed time with injuries last season.  The junior class consists of Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 guard who started 22 games last

2012-13 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS

season and played in all 36.  There are three sophomore returnees, including 6-2 forward Cierra Burdick, 6-3 center Isabelle Harrison and 5-6 point guard Ariel Massengale.  Burdick played in all 36 games as a rookie and got three starts, Massengale played in 33 contests and started 24, while Harrison had 31 appearances without a start.  Tennessee also welcomes 5-10 sophomore Jasmine Phillips and freshmen Andraya Carter (5-9, point guard), Bashaara Graves (6-2 forward/center), Jasmine Jones (6-2 forward) and Nia Moore (6-3 center).

EXPERIENCED RETURNEES  Sophomore Ariel Massengale, junior Meighan Simmons and seniors Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams possess some decent experience for Tennessee.  Massengale was UT’s starting point guard in 24 games a year ago, while Simmons got the nod 22 times and Spani was on the ﬂoor for tipoff on 15 occasions despite dealing with a nagging knee injury.  Sophomores Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison didn’t have the accolades their classmate Massengale did in 2011-12, but their experience should have them prepared to play more considerable roles in 2012-13.

SENIORS GRADUATE EARLY  Seniors Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams already have earned their degrees.  Spani completed her degree in communication studies in August and now is pursuing a master’s in kinesiology with a concentration in sports psychology and motor behavior.  Williams earned a degree in sociology/ criminal justice in spring 2012 and is working on a second undergraduate degree in psychology.  Both kept UT’s 100-percent graduation rate perfect.

WARLICK HAS FIVE NEWCOMERS  Tennessee signed three players early last year and added two more over the summer.  The early signees included 6-2 forward/

center Bashaara Graves (Clarksville, Tenn./ Clarksville H.S.), 5-9 point guard Andraya Carter (Flowery Branch, Ga./Buford H.S.) and 6-2 forward Jasmine Jones (Madison, Ala./ Bob Jones H.S.). Graves, Carter and Jones ranked No. 5, No. 21 and No. 39 on the HoopGurlz 2012 ESPNU 100 Rankings.  Jones’ mom, Latrish Jones, played basketball at Alabama during the late 1990s.  Warlick added 5-10 guard Jasmine Phillips (Hartsville, S.C./Hartsville H.S./Louisburg, N.C. College) and 6-3 center Nia Moore (Chicago, Ill./Bolingbrook H.S.) on May 22 and May 25, respectively.  Phillips was a JUCO All-American at Louisburg College.  Moore, who originally signed with Illinois and was granted a release, was a three-star recruit, according to HoopGurlz. She played at Bolingbrook High School along with current UT teammate Ariel Massengale.

gional Team for their play in Des Moines.

SEC TOURNEY CHAMPS AGAIN  For the third-consecutive season, Tennessee reigned as SEC Tournament champions, defeating LSU in the final, 70-58, in front of a partisan Big Orange crowd of 12,441 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.  It marked the 16th tourney trophy that UT had won since the event first was held in 1980.  The Lady Vols also knocked off #25 South Carolina in the semifinals, 74-58, and defeated Vanderbilt, 68-57, in the quarterfinal round.  Seniors Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen were named to the SEC All-Tournament Team, and Johnson walked away as the SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player.  Johnson’s MVP recognition marked the third-straight year a Lady Vol won, as she followed Stricklen in 2011 and Alyssia Brewer in 2010.

FOUR TAKEN IN WNBA DRAFT SEC GROWS, TOURNAMENT EXPANDS  The SEC adds Missouri and Texas A&M this season, bringing the total of league teams to 14.  Each program will play a 16-game slate.  The 2013 SEC Tournament will be held in Duluth, Ga., at the Arena at the Gwinnett Center, March 6-10.  The tournament, which had been a fourday event featuring 12 teams, has expanded to 14 teams, adding an extra day of competition. The tournament will now begin on Wednesday with two additional games that feature Seeds 11 through 14.

A LOOK BACK TO 2011-12 UT FINISHES IN ELITE EIGHT  During a difficult and emotionally-charged season, with speculation in the air about how much longer Pat Summitt would coach, Tennessee was somehow able to focus on the task at hand and ﬁnish with a 27-9 overall record and 12-4 SEC mark, good for second in the league standings.  The Lady Vols recorded their 36th-consecutive campaign with 20 or more wins and made the NCAA tournament ﬁeld for the 31ststraight season.  The Lady Vols reeled off NCAA tournament wins over UT Martin (72-49) and #23 DePaul (63-48) in Chicago NCAA First/Second Round games.  Tennessee advanced to the Des Moines Regional, where the Big Orange turned back Kansas, 84-73, in the Sweet 16.  Appearing in its 25th NCAA Regional Final, Tennessee saw its season, and Summitt’s head coaching career as it turned out, come to an end in the Elite Eight. Eventual NCAA champ Baylor proved too much to overcome, prevailing, 77-58, in Des Moines.  The Lady Vols ended the year ranked number nine in the AP poll and seventh in the USA Today/ESPN rankings.  Seniors Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen were named to the NCAA All-Re-

UT freshman record of 162 assists and leading the SEC with a 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

 Lady Vols Shekinna Stricklen, Glory Johnson and Kelley Cain (finished UT career in 2010-11) were all taken in the first round and Vicki Baugh was selected in the third round of the 2012 WNBA Draft presented by Boost Mobile, on Monday, April 16, at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn.  It was the best first-round showing ever in the draft for Tennessee with three players taken. The Lady Vols had two first-round selections in 1997, 1999, 2003 and 2008.  In all, 15 UT players have been first-round WNBA picks on draft day.  Stricklen was taken by Seattle with the second pick, Johnson went to Tulsa on the fourth pick, and Cain was taken by New York at No. 7. Baugh was drafted by Tulsa in the third round with the event’s 25th selection.  Johnson, a 6-3 forward, made the 2012 WNBA All-Rookie Team. She averaged 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals per contest while playing in 34 games and starting 28.

WBCA ALL-AMERICAN NO. 21  Glory Johnson became the 21st Lady Vol all-time to receive kudos and earned UT’s 36th total WBCA/State Farm/Kodak AllAmerica honor when she was named to the 2012 squad.  Johnson averaged 14.2 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, starting all 36 contests for Tennessee.

SEC ACCOLADES  Glory Johnson was named 2012 SEC Defensive Player of the Year and was a member of the SEC All-Defensive Team for the second season in a row.  Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen were members of the ﬁrst team of both the AP and Coaches All-SEC squads.  Stricklen led UT in scoring (15.4 ppg.) and was third in rebounding (6.6 rpg.), while Johnson was UT’s second-leading scorer (14.2 ppg.) and top rebounder (9.9 rpg.).  Johnson also earned a spot on the SEC Community Service Team.  Point guard Ariel Massengale was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after tallying a

ATLANTA -- Freshman Bashaara Graves scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Sunday, and fellow Tennessee forward Cierra Burdick added a career-high 16 points as the No. 20 Lady Volunteers beat No. 22 Georgia Tech 71-54 to spoil the Yellow Jackets’ debut in McCamish Pavilion. The Yellow Jackets (0-1) trailed 45-30 at halftime before starting the second half with a 13-0 run. The Lady Vols (1-1) bettered that with an 18-0 knockout streak to even their record in their second game under new head coach Holly Warlick. Junior Tyaunna Marshall scored 18 and Dawnn Maye added 12 for Georgia Tech in its new on-campus arena.

The Lady Mocs (1-0) were led by Taylor Hall, who had 24 points and nine rebounds as Chattanooga beat the Lady Vols for the ﬁrst time in 20 meetings. UTC’s last win over Tennessee came in 1973.

The second game of the post-Pat Summitt era went a lot better for Tennessee than the ﬁrst.

UTC had three others in double ﬁgures: Alex Black (14), Kayla Christopher (11) and Ashlen Dewart (10).

Sunday, the Lady Vols had 17 of each, and it was the Yellow Jackets who were loose with the ball in their ﬁrst game. Tech had 20 turnovers and just eight assists.

With the game tied at 28 at halftime, Chattanooga opened the second half outscoring the Lady Vols 15-7, as they took a 43-35 lead on a Dewart jumper with 16:13 left in the game. The Lady Mocs continued to maintain the lead throughout the second half. The lead moved to 10, at 52-42, on Black jumper with 11:37 left in the half. Tennessee battled back to within six (53-47) and seven on several occasions, but was never able to overcome the deficit. Freshman Jasmine Jones hit a jumper with 1:11 left to cut the margin to seven, 7265, forcing UTC to call a timeout. The Lady Mocs made their free throws down the stretch to secure the win. Chattanooga made all eight foul shots in the final minute for the nine-point win. The Lady Vols stood tied at 28 all at halftime as Massengale sank a half-court shot at the buzzer. Graves had nine points and seven rebounds in the first half of her debut as a collegian. Chattanooga went on a 13-0 run to rally from a 20-11 deficit to lead 24-20 with 1:52 left in the first half as Kylie Lambert made a free throw. The Lady Vols were held scoreless for more than six minutes before Graves hit a layup with 1:31 left in the first half. Tennessee pounded UTC on the glass in the first half, 25-12, but committed 17 turnovers to even out the advantage.

Tennessee lost 80-71 Friday at Chattanooga after the Mocs broke a halftime tie with a 52-point second half in which they shot 56.3 percent. The Lady Vols had 26 turnovers and just six assists in that game.

Summitt, who announced last year that she has early-onset dementia before stepping down in April, sat five rows behind the Tennessee bench at the game with Chattanooga, but was not at Georgia Tech. Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick, who played for Summitt and then was an assistant for her for 27 seasons, said after the Chattanooga game that her inexperienced team did not yet appreciate the importance of playing earnest defense. Without a starter back from the team that lost an NCAA regional final to eventual national champion Baylor last spring, Tennessee defended more passionately at Georgia Tech. The Lady Vols also dominated the paint in the first half. They led 45-30 at intermission on the strength of 15 points by Burdick and 14 points and eight rebounds from Graves. Georgia Tech starting power forward Danielle Hamilton-Carter and starting center Nariah Taylor, meanwhile, were each scoreless in the first half without attempting a shot. The Yellow Jackets, however, rallied furiously at the start of the second half. Marshall got to the rim for seven points during their 13-0 run, and Maye’s layup with 15:25 remaining pulled Georgia Tech within 45-43. Then, the Lady Vols snapped back to life. A jumper by Jasmine Jones ended Tennessee’s scoreless streak a minute later and started an 18-0 run for the visitors. When Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph called for a timeout with nine minutes left, the Lady Vols led 60-43 after Ariel Massengale’s layup off of Tennessee’s ninth steal of the game. The Yellow Jackets to that point had seen Marshall, Maye and Wallace -- two returning starters and a sophomore who become a starter late last season and then made 19 3-point shots in Tech’s three NCAA tournament games -- take 40 of their team’s first 51 shots and score 38 of the first 43 points. When Hamilton-Carter scored from point-blank range with 6:46 left in the game, that ended a scoreless streak of 8:38, but the Jackets trailed 63-45.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Bashaara Graves had 20 points, Ariel Massengale hit big free throws at the end and the No. 24/20 Lady Vols survived No. 23 Miami’s two big second-half runs to defeat the Hurricanes, 79-67. With the win, UT ended Miami’s 41-game home winning streak. “A game like that will age you real quick,” UT head coach Holly Warlick said. “I’m just pleased with our team. I’m glad to see that we got off to a pretty strong lead. In the ﬁrst half, our defense was pretty solid. Our offense - we got good looks and then in the second half, I thought Miami adjusted. They started attacking us and we fouled, stopped the clock and they hit big shots. They didn’t have a quit to them and, fortunately, we didn’t have a quit as well. I’m very pleased with the win and our overall team effort.”

Senior Kamiko Williams had her best-scoring game in two seasons with 12 points. The game marked Tennessee’s first 100-point game since a 110-45 win over Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. Tennessee outscored Rice 49-10 bridging the halves over a span of 16:36 to blow open the game and built a 30-point plus advantage. After Rice had 22 points in the game’s first 8:18. As Tennessee’s defense buckled up, Rice was limited to 26 points for the remainder of the game, covering nearly 32 minutes. Rice (1-1) was led by Jessica Kuster (16) and Megan Palmer (15). Tennessee shot 57 percent from the floor for the game including 66 percent in the second half (23-of-35). Tennessee outscored the Owls, 32-0, off turnovers and 20-0 on fastbreak points. The Lady Vols had just seven turnovers, including just one in the first half. The second half featured lots of spurts. Freshman Nia Moore scored her first-career points on a bucket during a 16-0 run that put UT up 93-41 with five minutes left. An 8-0 run closed by a Williams 3-pointer with 10:28 left, gave the Lady Vols a 77-38 lead. A 9-0 spurt put Tennessee ahead by 30 at 63-32 on a lay-up by Ariel Massengale. Tennessee led 45-27 at halftime as the Lady Vols outscored Rice 29-5 to end the first half. Simmons punctuated the half with a bank-shot 3-pointer to end the half. Harrison led all UT scorers with 12 points while Kuster led the Owls, also with a dozen. The Lady Vols scored 18 unanswered points over a span of six minutes midway through the first half to rally from down by as many as six to lead by 12 at 34-22 with 5:02 left in the half on a Graves layup. Tennessee held Rice without a field goal for nearly nine minutes Tennessee rallied from down by as many as six to take the lead at 23-22 on a Cierra Burdick jumper with nine minutes left in the half. The game started out up-tempo as Rice held a 22-16 lead with 11 minutes left in the first half. Kuster tallied 12 of the Owls’ first 16. The Lady Vols head to No. 23 Miami (Fla.) for a Sunday matchup in Coral Gables, Fla. The game can be heard on the Lady Vol Network with a 2 p.m. tipoff.

After storming out of the gate to a 46-21 halftime advantage thanks to Graves and Andraya Carter, Tennessee (3-1) watched Miami (2-1) mount a huge comeback in the second half as the Hurricanes climbed to within six points. Graves scored 10 points in each half to lead the Lady Vols with 20 points to go with six rebounds. Carter did much of her work from long distance, totaling 16 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range and 4-of-4 work from the free-throw line. Massengale added 14 points off the bench, going a perfect 10-of-10 from the charity stripe and dishing out a team-best five assists. Cierra Burdick led UT with 10 rebounds. Trailing 51-25 three minutes out of halftime, Miami went on 18-7 run climb back into the game. Maria Brown sparked the run on a jumper in the paint at 16:14 and Michelle Woods scored Miami’s next nine points. With 9:35 left in the game and Tennessee’s lead at 58-43, the Lady Vols responded by trading baskets with the Hurricanes over the next minute and a half to keep the lead at 16 points. Then, with 6:28 remaining, UM’s Morgan Stroman hit a jumper on a fast break that opened a 14-4 run that pulled the Hurricanes to within 71-65 with 2:30 left. UT closed out the game with an 8-2 run thanks to Massengale’s clutch shooting at the line (6-of-6) in the final minute to halt Miami’s comeback attempt. At the half, Tennessee had a 46-21 advantage with Carter (11 points) and Graves (10 points) leading the way. UT never trailed in the first half, but the Hurricanes stayed within six points for the first 16:40 of the game. Up 23-17 with 6:53 until halftime, the Lady Vols broke loose as a layup by Massengale sparked a 23-4 run to close out the period. Tennessee’s defense limited the Hurricanes and minimized their outside game. Miami shot just 31.9 percent from the floor and a 19.0 percent (4-of-21) from beyond the arc. The Canes also struggled from the free-throw line, hitting just 59.4 percent (19-of-32). UT shot 42.1 percent from the floor and went 6-of-17 from 3-point range. The Lady Vols also shot a crisp 80.6 percent from the stripe (25-of-31). The Lady Vols return to Thompson-Boling Arena on Nov. 25 to take on Alcorn State at 2 p.m., opening a three-game homestand.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Senior Kamiko Williams came up huge on both ends of the court to lead the #16/14 Lady Vols to an 88-81 overtime win over in-state foe Middle Tennessee State for UT’s fifth win in a row before 10,768 at Thompson-Boling Arena on Wednesday night. Even through she didn’t post the biggest numbers on the stat sheet, Williams’ clutch shooting and defense spurred the Lady Vols in the second half and overtime. She finished with nine points, five rebounds and three assists to go along with numerous intangible plays. Junior Meighan Simmons topped the scoring charts for Tennessee (5-1), as she netted 19 points. Freshman Bashaara Graves, who has scored in double-figures in all six of her college games, had 15 points. She also corralled 12 rebounds for her second double-double in her rookie season. Sophomore Ariel Massengale, who started for the second time this season, tallied a seasonbest 15 points. Sophomore Isabelle Harrison scored 10 points and swatted a career-high six blocks.

The win by 53 points and defense limiting Alcorn to 37 points, equalled last season’s 90-37 win over Old Dominion on Dec. 28, 2011.

MTSU (4-2) had four players score in double-ﬁgures led by Icelyn Elie, who had 21. She was joined by Ebony Rowe (19), Laken Leonard (17) and Shanice Cason (13), to top the Blue Raiders.

Alcorn (0-4) was led by Tierro Frost, who had nine points. The game marked the return of former Lady Vols star Tonya Edwards, who is in her ﬁfth year as the head coach of the Lady Braves. Edwards was the Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Final Four when the Lady Vols won their ﬁrst title in 1987.

Tennessee used a 10-0 overtime run keyed by Williams’ all-around play to secure the win.

Tennessee shot 55.7 percent for the game while Alcorn was limited to 22.6 percent from the floor. UT forced the Lady Braves into 34 turnovers, which the Lady Vols converted into 37 points. Three Lady Vols grabbed seven rebounds: Jones, Spani and Harrison. The Lady Vols opened the second half scoring the first 13 to build a 49-15 advantage. Tennessee led 36-15 at halftime as Spani led all scorers with 10 points. The Lady Vols limited Alcorn to just 23 percent from the floor over the first 20 minutes. The Lady Vols opened a 16-4 lead with 12 minutes left in the first half as Andraya Carter knocked home a 3-pointer as she finished a 9-0 run. UT’s defense kept Alcorn scoreless for a span of more than six minutes. Another run of 8-0 put Tennessee up 26-9 with 6:35 left in the first half. Alcorn was limited to single-figures for the first 16 minutes of the game before Carolinsia Crumbley hit a jumper to make it 26-11. The Lady Vols continue their three-game homestand on Wednesday night as Middle Tennessee State comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m., tipoff. That game can be viewed on UTSports.com and heard on the Lady Vol Network.

Sophomore Cierra Burdick put UT ahead for good, 79-77, with a pair of free throws with 2:04 left in OT. Then Williams’ stole the ensuing possession from MTSU and set up Simmons for a layup with 1:52 left to move the lead to 81-77. Williams finished the next sequence with a layup to make it 83-77 with 40 seconds left. Then Williams drew a charge seconds later. Harrison’s bank shot was the final dagger finishing the run of 10 points in a row. After being down for the game’s first 35-plus minutes, Tennessee finally grabbed a lead for the first time late in the second half. Williams’ steal and bankshot put the Lady Vols ahead at 64-63 -- their first lead of the game with 4:24 left in regulation. Massengale hit a jumper to put UT ahead by three and the Lady Vols never trailed after that. Tennessee was on the cusp of taking a lead several times, getting to within one possession four times in the second half before finally breaking through as Williams used her defense to create offense and UT’s first advantage. The Lady Vols pressured MTSU and used a 10-2 run to comeback from a 63-60 deficit to lead 70-65 on a Simmons jumper. MTSU cut the margin to two at 70-68 on Leonard’s fifth 3-pointer of the game with 1:26 left in the second half. Williams nailed a 3-pointer with 55 seconds left to put the Lady Vols up five at 73-68. But MTSU scored the final five points of regulation to send the game to overtime as Elie canned a 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left, tying the game at 73. MTSU scored the game’s opening basket and led for the entire first half, taking a 39-35 lead into the locker room. Cason topped all scorers with 10 points while Simmons led UT’s scoresheet with nine. MTSU jumped out to an 18-9 lead on the Lady Vols early on after back-to-back 3-pointers by Leonard. The lead increased to double-figures on Leonard’s third trey of the half midway through the first stanza, making it 26-16. The Blue Raiders also started strong on the boards, grabbing 17 of the game’s first 24 off the glass. A drawn charge by Jasmine Jones with six minutes in the first half energized the Lady Vols as they went on a 9-0 run to cut their deficit to 31-29 on a 3-pointer by Massengale a minute later with 5:01 left in the half. Tennessee has never lost to MTSU, leading the all-time series, 20-0.

GAME 10

#10/11 UT vs. #1/1 Stanford // Dec. 22, 2012

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Taking on the No. 1 team in the nation, just days after falling at the No. 3 team, the Lady Vols battled, but fell to undefeated Stanford, 73-60 at Thompson-Boling Arena on Sunday before 13,016. Stanford moved to 11-0 overall with a powerful post presence and strong defense limiting the Lady Vols to just 31.9 percent from the floor. Tennessee made just 4-of-18 shots from 3-point range. Tennessee (7-3) was led by freshman Bashaara Graves, who tallied 15. Graves has scored in double-figures in nine of her 10 college games. She also grabbed 12 rebounds for the fourth double-double of her career. Meighan Simmons (12), Cierra Burdick (11) and Ariel Massengale (11) also scored in double-figures. The Lady Vols fell at third-ranked Baylor on Tuesday night, 76-53, as their seven-game win streak came to end. Tennessee is 7-3 overall for the second year in a row. Last season, UT finished 27-9 and advanced to the Elite Eight. Chiney Ogwumike posted a double-double with 21 points and 19 rebounds. She had doublefigures in both categories before halftime.

Baylor out-rebounded the Lady Vols, 54-47.

Her rebounds are the most by an opponent ever at Thompson-Boling Arena. The record of 18 was held by JoKeirra Sneed of Louisiana Tech set in 2007. Ogwumike came up two boards short of the record for most rebounds against the Lady Vols. Back on March 3, 1978 Linda Street grabbed 21 boards for Memphis State.

The Lady Vols missed their first 11 shots of the game before scoring for the first time, with 13:05 left in the first half, on a Cierra Burdick jumper to make it 17-2.

Four other Cardinal players scored in double-ﬁgures: Amber Orrange (14 along with six assists), Tony Kokenis (11), Bonnie Samuelson (11) and Joslyn Tinkle (10).

Tennessee tried to climb out of the early hole, but it proved to be too tall of a mountain. UT cut the deficit to 12 at 21-9 and 23-11, but Baylor continued its sharp shooting in the first half and regained a 21-point lead at 32-11 on a 3-pointer by Hayden with 6:49 left in the first half. The run expanded to 13-0 to give Baylor a 36-11 lead with five minutes left in the half. Taber Spani ended the drought with a 3-pointer at the four-minute mark. Tennessee trailed 41-16 at halftime. The 25-point deficit was the largest at halftime in school history. The previous largest margin was 20 against Rutgers in 2009, as the Lady Vols rallied from down 33-13 to win 55-51 on the road. Both Griner and Hayden had 11 points at halftime. The Lady Vols began the second half scoring eight of the first 12 points, as Simmons canned a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 45-24. Tennessee continued to battle and chip away, but the margin never got below 19 points in the second half. A Williams jumper made the score 70-50 with three minutes left. Nia Moore’s layup with 93 seconds left cut the score to 72-53.

Down by as many as 19 with 15 minutes left, Massengale and Simmons converted back-to-back 3-pointers to bring UT within 10 at 65-55 with 2:27 left. But Stanford closed the game making four free throws in the final 41 seconds to seal the win. Stanford pounded the ball inside to start the second half and used an 11-2 run to expanded its lead to 44-25 on a Mikaela Ruef layup with 15 minutes left in the game. The Lady Vols continued to claw back. Burdick’s driving layup with 10 minutes left in the second half brought UT within 10 at 50-40. The margin was sliced to single-digits for the first time since the 9:18 mark of the first half on a Burdick free throw with 8:21 left, making it 52-43. Stanford quickly answered with the next three buckets by Ogwumike, Kokenis and Tinkle to take a 58-43 advantage with 6:40 left. The Cardinal built a 33-21 lead at halftime thanks to a double-double by Ogwumike (13 points, 12 rebounds) in the first 20 minutes. Tennessee did not make a 3-pointer in the half, missing all 10 trifecta attempts. UT shot 10-of-39 (26 percent) from the floor against Stanford’s towering roster. Stanford pounded the ball in the post early on to take a 21-10 lead with 9:22 left in the first half. Stanford scored 10 of first 21 points in the paint as Ogwumike piled up nine points and 10 rebounds in the game’s first 10 minutes. UT has now lost five straight to No. 1 teams dating to its last win over a top-ranked team in 2005. The Lady Vols’ last win over a No. 1 team came on March 6, 2005 as UT knocked off LSU, 67-65 in the SEC Championship game in Greenville, S.C. Tennessee has also lost six consecutive home games against No. 1 teams dating to a 77-72 win over top-ranked Louisiana Tech on Jan. 22, 1996. Prior to last year’s loss to No. 1 Baylor at home, UT had not played a No. 1 team in Knoxville since 2007 (losing to Duke 74-70).
