GAME 25 SET-UP #12/10 Tennessee (19-5/10-1 SEC) and Vanderbilt (16-8/6-5 SEC) meet on Sunday at 5:15 p.m. Eastern at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville. This marks the 70th time these programs have gotten together. Sunday’s contest is the annual “Live Pink, Bleed Orange” game, held as part of the Play 4Kay women’s basketball initiative - in support of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund®, in partnership with the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and The V Foundation. To help bring awareness to the day’s importance, both teams will wear pink uniforms, with Tennessee donning a lighter shade of pink and Vandy wearing more of a hot pink hue. The UT-VU tilt will be televised live on ESPN2 and will be offered on the WatchESPN. com app. as well as on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio on Sirius 123 / XM 199. The Lady Vols enter on the heels of a dominant 97-68 victory over Ole Miss in Knoxville last Sunday, maintaining their hold on a share (with Texas A&M) for first place in the league standings with a 19-5 overall record and 10-1 league mark. Tennessee is seeking to win its 20th game in a season for the 37th-straight year in program history Vanderbilt is coming off a 62-46 home victory over Missouri on Thursday night, winning for the third time in five outings since last playing UT on Jan. 24. Tennessee has triumphed in 14 of its last 15 games vs. SEC foes, dating back to last season, including six in a row at home and seven of its last eight on the road. 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. Vanderbilt finished seventh in the SEC last season (23-10/9-7) and was predicted to place third in the 2012-13 league standings by the media and fourth by the coaches. Tennessee is 476-71 (.870) all-time vs. schools who are current members of the Southeastern Conference, including 327-45 (.879) in the regular season.
