GAME 15 SET-UP #9/9 Tennessee (11-3/2-0 SEC) and Missouri (12-4/1-1 SEC) will meet for only the fourth time, facing off Thursday at 8:04 p.m. Eastern time in a game that will be televised live on SportSouth and streamed by ESPN3 (subject to blackout). Tennessee is coming off an impressive 7966 home win over #10/11 Georgia on Sunday that kept UT unbeaten in league play after tough opening games vs South Carolina and UGA. The Tigers earned their first conference victory as a member of the SEC, defeating Auburn at Mizzou Arena on Sunday, 82-76. The Lady Vols enter Thursday’s contest on a four-game winning streak, defeating Davidson, #NR/RV Rutgers, #18/15 South Carolina and #10/11 Georgia over a 10-day span. Mizzou’s win over Auburn halted a twogame losing skid, in which the Tigers fell at Memphis, 72-69, and at Georgia, 77-46. 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. MU finished 10th in the Big 12 last season (13-18/2-16) and was predicted to place 13th by the media and 12th by the coaches in the SEC race this season in the school’s inaugural year as a member.

STOKELY FAMILY RECOGNITION Tennessee Athletics will be recognizing the Stokely family for its contributions and dedication to the athletics program at the Jan. 10 Lady Vol game vs. Missouri. With the closing of Stokely Athletics Center, the department will honor William B. Stokely III and his family for their inspiration and service to Tennessee for many decades. Stokely Athletics Center served as the home court to Tennessee basketball for 29 years from 1958-87. The facility was initially known as Armory-Fieldhouse until its expansion in 1966, which was spearheaded by the late William B. Stokely, Jr. Stokely’s gift enabled the facility to expand from its original capacity of 7,800 to a final size of 12,700 when the building was rededicated on May 7, 1966.
