GAME 24 SET-UP #12/13 Tennessee (18-5/9-1 SEC) and Ole Miss (8-14/1-8 SEC) meet on Sunday at 2:05 p.m. Eastern at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. This marks the 47th time these programs have gotten together Sunday’s game will not be televised, but it will be streamed live on www.utsports.com/ allaccess. The Lady Vols enter on the heels of a last-second, 64-62 victory over LSU in Baton Rouge on Thursday night, boosting themselves back atop the SEC standings at 9-1. Ole Miss, meanwhile, had Thursday night off. The Rebels dropped a 79-53 decision at Vanderbilt in their last game on Feb. 3 and stand at 14th in the league standings entering Sunday’s contest. Tennessee has won 13 of its last 14 games vs. SEC foes, dating back to last season, including five in a row at home and seven of its last eight on the road. The Lady Vols hope to start stringing together some victories after alternating wins and losses in their last five games (3-2 record). Ole Miss hopes to get back on the winning track after dropping its last three contests and eight of its last nine (only win was at Florida). 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. Ole Miss finished 14th in the SEC (12-18/214) last season and was predicted to place 12th by the coaches and 14th by the media in the SEC race this season. Tennessee is 475-71 (.870) all-time vs. schools who are current members of the Southeastern Conference, including 326-45 (.879) in the regular season.
TROPHY TRIBUTE CONTINUES Tennessee’s 1997 NCAA National Championship trophy will be on display on the concourse behind section 116 prior to the Ole Miss game. During the season’s final eight games, one of Tennessee’s eight NCAA trophies, appearing chronologically, will be on display for fans to photograph.
