GAME THREE SET-UP  After opening the season with a pair of road games, #4/3 Tennessee returns to the friendly confines of Thompson-Boling Arena for back-to-back home games.  The Lady Vols host Chattanooga (1-0) on Thursday and Georgia Tech on Sunday. Both games start at 7 p.m.  The contest vs. UTC won’t be televised, but it will be streamed live on UTSports.com with audio courtesy of Mickey Dearstone, radio voice of the Lady Vols.  The Lady Vols are coming off a big road win on Monday night in a nationally-televised game on ESPN2, as they knocked off No. 12/11 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, 81-65, to improve to 2-0 on the young season.  Chattanooga, meanwhile, opened its second-straight season with a home triumph over an SEC foe, toppling Alabama, 82-70, on Nov. 8.  The Lady Mocs are under the leadership of a new, but familiar, head coach. Jim Foster, who spent 11 years in the SEC with Vanderbilt (1991-2002) and spent the past 11 seasons at Ohio State (2002-13), is on the job at UTC.  Thursday’s matchup will feature the second in-state foe the Lady Vols have seen thus far, following a 67-57 season-opening road win over Middle Tennessee on Nov. 8.

MOVIN’ ON UP TO THIRD  The Lady Vols remained fourth in the Associated Press poll on Monday, but the USA TODAY poll coming out Tuesday, coupled with a Stanford loss to UConn on Monday night, meant Tennessee moved up a notch to third in those rankings.  This marks the first time since the second poll (Nov. 14, 2011) of the 2011-12 season that the Lady Vols have been ranked in the top three in either the AP or USA TODAY polls.  That is a span of 37 polling periods where Tennessee resided outside the top three teams in at least one poll.  It puts an end to the longest stretch of UT not being within the top three since an lengthy spree from 1981 to 1986.
