GAME 26 SET-UP  The #10/10 Lady Vols (20-5/9-3 SEC) wrap up a three-game home stand on Thursday night, as they play host to Auburn (1411/5-7 SEC) at Thompson-Boling Arena.  The Lady Vols and Tigers are slated to tip off at 7:05 p.m., and the game will be carried live on CSS.  Matt Stewart and Steffi Sorensen will call the action, and the game also will be streamed live via ESPN3 (the game may be blacked out in some areas).  Both teams are coming off home losses on Sunday, with Tennessee dropping a 75-71 decision to #18/18 Kentucky and Auburn falling, 68-58, to Missouri.  Those losses dropped UT to third in the SEC standings, two games back of South Carolina (11-1) and one behind Texas A&M (10-2), while Auburn is tied for eighth place.  Both teams had winning streaks snapped on Sunday, as UT saw its all-games streak end at six and its SEC spree stop at seven.  Auburn, meanwhile, had won three in a row prior to the defeat at the hands of Mizzou on Sunday.  Tennessee is averaging 76.2 points per game against SEC foes this season to rank No. 1 in the league, while Auburn has the No. 4 scoring defense in the league at 65.2 and is No. 1 in steals (11.2 spg.).  By some strange coincidence in SEC scheduling, Tennessee will face three Tigers teams in a row, including Auburn on Thursday, Missouri on Sunday and LSU next Thursday.

FOUR-POINT PLAY  Tennessee’s final two home games vs. Auburn (Thurs. night) and South Carolina (March 3) are part of the Four-Point Play ticket promotion.  With a minimum purchase of four tickets, fans also get four hotdogs and four drinks, all for the price of $44.  Fans can buy four or more tickets to one game or spread them out in any combination for the remaining games. For each ticket purchased, you will also receive vouchers for one hotdog and one medium fountain drink.

A WIN WOULD...  Lift the UT program’s all-time record to 1,239-278 in its 69th season.  Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head coach to 48-13 overall and 28-5 in Knoxville. She is 20-8 away from home.  Push the Big Orange’s all-time SEC regular season record to 341-49 and its league ledger under Holly Warlick to 24-5.  Boost Tennessee’s record to 491-76 alltime vs. schools who are current members of the Southeastern Conference.  Improve the Lady Vols to 190-13 in SEC
