GAME FIVE SET-UP #4/5 Tennessee (4-0) plays its first road game of the 2014-15 season on Wednesday, as the Lady Vols face Chattanooga (3-2) at The McKenzie Arena (10,928) at 7 p.m. ET. UT has used smothering defense and uptempo play to score 90+ points in three of its first four contests en route to a 4-0 record. Chattanooga started its season with a win over Villanova, but the Lady Mocs have alternated losses and wins in their last four games to stand 3-2. They are 2-1 at home. The game will not be televised, but it will be live streamed for free on the SoCon Digital Network, with Lady Mocs radio voice Larry Ward calling the action. The stream can be accessed via a link on UTSports.com. The game also can be heard via the Lady Vol Radio Network, with Mickey Dearstone behind the mic. The broadcast can be accessed as an audio stream via a link on UTSports.com. This will mark the 34th meeting between these schools, with Tennessee holding a 26-7 advantage in the series after winning in Knoxville, 80-56, on Nov. 14, 2013. The Lady Vols have only lost twice on the road to the Lady Mocs, but the last one came in the 2012-13 season opener, as UT dropped its first game with Holly Warlick as head coach, 80-71, at The McKenzie Arena. For both teams, this will mark the third game in six days, with each team playing on Nov. 21, 24 and 26. UT hosted Winthrop (W, 81-48) and Tennessee State (W, 97-46) before making the trek to Chattanooga, while UTC was at Notre Dame (L, 88-53) and returned home to host Austin Peay (W, 76-65) and now Tennessee. The two head coaches are well-acquainted from Jim Foster’s days at Vanderbilt, where he was head coach from 1991-2002.
A WIN WOULD... Lift the UT program’s all-time record to 1,252-279 in its 70th season. Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head coach to 61-14 overall and 26-9 on the road. She is 35-5 in Knoxville. Raise the Tennessee seniors’ career record to 88-23. Lift UT to its 14th straight win over an unranked opponent since falling at Vanderbilt, 74-63, on Jan. 12, 2014. Improve Tennessee to 58-19-1 vs. teams from the Southern Conference. Move the Big Orange to 5-0 for the second straight season and fourth time in the last seven years.
LAST GAME/NEXT GAME Tennessee is coming off a 97-46 home victory over Tennessee State on Monday

A LOOK AT THE SERIES VS. UTC This marks the 34th meeting between the Lady Volunteers and the Lady Mocs, with Tennessee holding a 26-7 advantage in the all-time series that dates back to 1924. UT is 8-2 vs. UTC on the Lady Mocs’ home floor, with the Big Orange suffering only one loss to the Lady Mocs in Chattanooga since 1973, an 80-71 setback on Nov. 9, 2012, in Holly Warlick’s first game as head coach of the Big Orange. Though their teams have met numerous times, this will mark only the second meeting as head coaches between Holly Warlick and Jim Foster. The 2012 UTC upset in Chattanooga ended a 19-game Tennessee winning streak in the series. The winning team the past two meetings has scored 80 points. In losing 80-71 in 2012, UT surrendered the second-highest point total in series history, ranking behind the Lady Mocs’ 88-point outburst in 1975. Tennessee owns a 14-4 mark in Knoxville

ABOUT THE LADY MOCS Chattanooga is off to a 3-2 start, with wins over Villanova, Butler and Austin Peay and losses to South Florida and Notre Dame. The Lady Mocs return only two starters from last year’s 29-4 team that made the NCAA Tournament and won the Southern Conference. UTC is led by second-year head coach Jim Foster, who guided his first Chattanooga squad to a 29-win season. Chattanooga is led by 6-foot-2 sophomore forward Jasmine Joyner, who is averaging a double-double of 12.6 points and 12.0 rebounds. She also averages 5.7 blocked shots per outing. Joyner had 15 points and 13 rebounds in UTC’s most recent game, a 76-65 win over Austin Peay on Monday night. Freshman Keiana Gilbert is the only other Lady Moc in double figures in scoring, averaging 11.2 per contest. UTC is shooting only 39.2% from the field this season, including 29.8% from threepoint range. The Lady Mocs are scoring only 62.2 points her game, but they are allowing only 60.8 to their opponents. UTC is upside down thus far on assist-toturnover ratio, committing 67 turnovers vs. 64 assists. Chattanooga has made 12 NCAA appearance through the years, including the past two seasons.
LAST SEASON’S UT-UTC CONTEST A year after being upset at Chattanooga, the Lady Vols made sure the Lady Mocs’ visit to Knoxville didn’t end with a similar result. After being tied at halftime, Tennessee pulled away for an 80-56 victory. The #4/3 Lady Vols were led by junior guard Ariel Massengale, who scored 13 of her game-high 16 points in the decisive second half. In her regular-season home debut, Mercedes Russell posted a career-high 15 points. Bashaara Graves chipped in 11 points and seven rebounds. Meighan Simmons had 10. Tennessee moved to 3-0, while Chattanooga evened its record at 1-1. The Lady Vols shot 48.5 percent for the game, including 52.9 in the second half, making their first five three-point attempts in the final 20 minutes. UT’s bench combined for 37 points, and the Lady Vols out-rebounded UTC, 50-33, led by Cierra Burdick’s eight. Tennessee opened the second half on a 21-4 run, keyed by seven consecutive points from Massengale to start the game’s second stanza. After scoring just three points in a foul-plagued first half, Massengale had 10 of the Lady Vols’ first 21 points. UT led 53-36 less than seven minutes into the second half and never looked back. Chattanooga shot 22.9 in the second half and was forced into 16 total turnovers. Tennessee outscored Chattanooga, 48-24, in
2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
the second half after the teams stood deadlocked at 32 at halftime.
TWO SEASONS AGO AT UTC In Tennessee’s game at Chattanooga two years ago, Isabelle Harrison had a doubledouble of 13 points and 12 rebounds in her first career start. Andraya Carter got the starting nod at guard opposite Meighan Simmons, becoming only the 17th freshman in UT history to start in her debut. She finished with four points, four rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes. Cierra Burdick also started, her fourth career start, and finished with four points, seven rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes. In her Lady Vol debut, Bashaara Graves came off the bench to tally 14 points and eight rebounds in 29 minutes. Other current players who saw action in that game were Jasmine Jones (4 pts., 5 rebs.) and Ariel Massengale (7 pts., 2 rebs., 2 assts.). Meighan Simmons, who graduated last season, had 23 points over 38 minutes, but she was 9-of-25 from the field. Tennessee owned the glass, 53-31, but the Lady Vols committed 26 turnovers. The Lady Vols and Lady Mocs were tied at the half, 28-all, before UTC shot 56.3 in the second half and outscored the Big Orange, 52-43, over the final 20 minutes.
LADY VOLS TAKE IT AWAY VS. TSU Nia Moore posted a double-double with a career-high 25 points and 11 rebounds, and the No. 4/5 Lady Vols capitalized on Tennessee State’s mistakes en route to a 97-46 romp on Monday at Thompson-Boling Arena. UT (4-0) used a big first-half surge to overcome an early deficit and exploded to a 49-13 run over the final 15 minutes of the game for the big win. The Lady Tigers (1-3) committed 38 turnovers, marking the first time in Tennessee history that the Lady Vols have forced 30 or more turnovers in three-straight games. It was the most turnovers UT has forced since inducing 46 against Memphis on Feb. 16, 1999. The program record is 50 turnovers committed by Hawaii Pacific on Dec. 20, 1985. Moore posted the fourth double-double of her career and her second on the year, shooting 10-for-18 from the field and 5-of-7 from the charity stripe. A 6-foot-3 center, Moore has scored 20 or more points in three of UT’s four games this year. Bashaara Graves led UT’s second-half charge, scoring all 14 of her points after halftime. Jaime Nared scored 11 points and hauled down six boards. Cierra Burdick scored 10 points and Andraya Carter dished out a team-high five assists. Tennessee State out-rebounded the Lady
Vols, 42-37, marking the first time this season an opponent out-rebounded UT. Tennessee was out-worked on the glass just three times in the 2013-14 season - at Stanford (Dec. 21, 2013), at home vs. Arkansas (Jan. 30, 2014) and in Louisville vs. Maryland (March 30, 2014). UT led 44-27 at halftime thanks to a 30-7 run over the final 12 minutes of the first half. Moore led the way with 15 points and seven rebounds. The Lady Vols shot 47.1 percent from the field while the Lady Tigers shot 33.3 percent. Tennessee State had a 24-17 rebounding edge at the break.
HIGH-SCORING LADY VOLS Tennessee opened 2014-15 with consecutive 90+ scoring efforts, tallying 97 vs. Penn and 91 vs. Oral Roberts before making it to 81 vs. Winthrop and then bouncing back to 97 vs. Tennessee State. This marks the first time during the Holly Warlick era that her club scored 90 or more points on multiple occasions in the first four games. The only previous 90+ game came against Rice (105) on Nov. 15, 2012. The 2001-02 Lady Vols scored 97, 106, 90 and 88 in wins vs. Chattanooga, USC, Louisiana Tech and George Washington that season to post the No. 1 scoring total for the first four games (381). Tennessee has scored 366 points in its first four games of 2014-15 and is averaging 91.5 per contest thus far. That average ranks UT number one in the SEC for points in a game, and the Lady Vols are tops in scoring margin as well at 45.2 (average score of 91.5-46.2).
FIRST FOUR GAMES WERE AT HOME After hosting one exhibition game and four regular season games at home, Tennesee finally steps away from ThompsonBoling Arena to play an opponent. This marks the first time since 2003-04 and only the second occasion since 1974-75 that the Lady Vols have played their first four games at home to open a season. The 2003-04 season is the only time the Lady Vols have played their first four at home and won all of them. UT started the regular season with wins vs. Penn (W, 97-52 on Nov. 14), Oral Roberts (W, 91-39 on Nov. 17), Winthrop (W, 81-48 on Nov. 21) and Tennessee State (W, 97-46 on Nov. 24). The Lady Vols play at Chattanooga Wednesday night and then travel again for a Nov. 30 contest at Texas.
UT FORCING 29.5 TOS PER GAME Tennessee has forced 118 turnovers in its first four games, causing opponents to average 29.5 miscues per contest. The Lady Vols posted a program first on Nov. 24 vs. Tennessee State, causing their third consecutive opponent to commit 30 or more turnovers.

The TSU Lady Tigers finished with 38 turnovers, following a 34-turnover effort by Winthrop and 30 miscues by Oral Roberts. With the back-to-back 30s from ORU and Winthrop, it marked the first time since 2006-07 Tennessee had forced 30 or more turnovers in back-to-back games. UT last accomplished consecutive games of forcing 30 turnovers vs. Alabama (30) on Jan. 28, 2007, and South Carolina (34) on Feb. 1, 2007. A year ago at this time, Lady Vols’ opponents had committed only 74 total TOs for an average of 18.5 per contest.
ACTIVE HANDS ON DEFENSE Tennessee is averaging 18 steals per game through the first four contests, thanks to totals of 21 swipes against Oral Roberts, 19 vs. Winthrop and 21 vs. Tennessee State. Only four other times since 2000 had the Lady Vols registered 21 or more steals. UT had 23 vs. George Washington (11/27/01). The Lady Vols also had 22 vs. La. Tech (11/28/06) and Alcorn State (11/25/12), and 21 vs. Chattanooga (11/11/07). Andraya Carter is averaging 4.7 steals per contest after posting highs of six vs. ORU and Winthrop. Jordan Reynolds has 13 steals in four games for a 3.3 average, including seven vs. ORU. Tennessee has a 72 to 23 advantage on steals against its opponents, leading to a 145-21 margin on points off turnovers. At this time a year ago, the Lady Vols had only 33 steals through the first four games. Many of those points are of the fast break variety, with Tennessee dominating its first four opponents, 69-16, in that category.
HERE COMES THE RUN Tennessee’s ball pressure, up-tempo pace and three-point shooting abilities are sparking runs that break open games. The Lady Vols have made 11 runs of 10-0 or longer in their first four games, including unchecked sprees of 22, 19 and 17 points. Tennessee trailed by a season-high eight (15:44/1st) to Tennessee State before reeling off 22-straight points to flip the script. All told, the Lady Vols had runs of 22-0, 19-0, 11-0 and 10-0 vs. the Lady Tigers. UT had a 14-0 blast, a pair 10-0 sprees and other smaller offensives in the opener vs. Penn. The 14-0 run helped the Lady Vols overcome a three-point deficit to Penn with 11 minutes to go in the first half and race to a 97-52 win. UT began the ORU game with a 10-0 run and added two more 10-0 blitzkriegs and another 9-0 spree. Leading 10-7 vs. Winthrop, Tennessee’s 17-0 run broke the game open, thanks to Ariel Massengale’s trio of three-pointers during that outburst.
GRAVES, HARRISON ON WATCH LISTS Senior center Isabelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves have been named to some preseason watch lists for national awards. On Nov. 24, Harrison and Graves were named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 30. On Nov. 25, both players were named to the “Wade Watch” list for the Wade Trophy. Graves was on both lists last season,
while Harrison is a first-time member of those groups.
THE BEAST IS BACK! Bashaara Graves, nicknamed “beast” by her teammates as a freshman for her tough play, has recorded points/rebounds doubledoubles in three of four games thus far. That total matches her tally for her entire sophomore season in 2013-14. Graves had 10 double-doubles her first season at UT en route to SEC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-SEC honors. Her career total now equals 16, ranking her 19th all-time at UT though she’s a junior. Graves posted 10 rebounds vs. three opponents and scored 16, 12 and 15, respectively, vs. Penn, ORU and Winthrop. Currently, Graves is UT’s third-leading scorer (14.3) and rebounder (8.5). Graves is tied for fifth in the SEC for rebounds per game (8.5), is second for offensive rebounds per contest (5.0) and stands No. 13 in scoring (14.3).
REYNOLDS SETTING TONE Jordan Reynolds leads all SEC players in assists (5.8) and is second in steals (3.3) per game, and she is second in assist-to-turnover ratio at 3.8 (23 assists/6 turnovers). A sophomore from Portland, Ore., Reynolds has gotten her first four career starts for the Lady Vols this season and leads the team in assists at 5.8 per contest. Reynolds makes her mark in a lot of columns on the stat sheet, registering eight rebounds twice, seven assists twice and seven steals on one occasion.
TAKING CARE OF THE BALL Tennessee tied for the No. 1 assist/turnover ratio (1.8) and is first in turnover margin (17.0) in the SEC through Nov. 24. The Lady Vols have committed only 50 turnovers through four games. Last year at this time they had lost the ball 74 times. They have 90 assists compared to 50 turnovers, while those numbers were 64 assists and 74 turnovers through four games last season. Sophomore Jordan Reynolds leads the SEC in assists at 5.8 per game. Reynolds has the No. 2 assist-to-turnover ratio in the league at 3.8, while redshirt sophomore Andraya Carter his third at 3.0 and classmate Middleton is fifth at 2.8. UT had eight turnovers in the opener vs. Penn and has followed with 13 vs. ORU, 15 against Winthrop and 14 vs. Tennessee State. Only one time all last season did Tennessee have a single-digit turnover total in a game, and that came on March 2, 2014, in a home win over South Carolina (73-61) when UT had only seven on senior day. UT’s freshman trio of Kortney Dunbar, Alexa Middleton and Jaime Nared combined for ZERO turnovers in their first regular season game. Conversely, Middleton (11) and Nared (4) combined for 15 assists. Junior center Nia Moore had zero miscues in 31 minutes of duty vs. Penn. In 33 minutes, point guard Jordan Reynolds committed two turnovers while dishing out five assists, grabbing eight rebounds and tallying three steals vs. Penn. Reynolds, who had 0 points vs. Penn, drew praise from the coaching staff for not
letting her scoring production, or lack thereof, affect the rest of her game.
SHARING THE GLORY Through four games, Tennessee has 90 assists compared to only 33 for its opponents. The Lady Vols had 51 assists through four games a year ago. UT has hit at least 20 assists in each of its first four games, marking the first time the Lady Vols have done that since the 1987-88 season, when the Lady Vols had a streak of six from Jan. 11 to Jan. 27. They also had a run of five from Dec. 13 to Jan. 3 that season. UT’s streak of three in a row 20+ assist games was the first since the team had three straight 20-assist games vs. George Washington (23, 11/26/02), Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (27, 11/29/02) and Army (21, 11/30/02). There were two other instances of four or more consecutive 20-assist games, and those were five-game runs from Dec. 9, 1985, to Jan. 4, 1986, and Feb. 6, 1981, to Feb. 21, 1981. Jordan Reynolds and Alexa Middleton are pacing the Big Orange with assists averages of 5.8 and 4.3, respectively. Middleton recorded 11 assists in her first game, the most ever by a Lady Vol in her freshman debut. Reynolds has had at least four assists in all four games, including seven vs. ORU and Winthrop. Reynolds leads all SEC players with that 5.8 per game average.
OWNING THE PAINT Tennessee is winning the points in the paint battle 206 to 84 over the first four games. A big reason is that one inside player is averaging a double-double and two others are just shy of one. Those players include 6-3 Nia Moore (20.8 ppg., 9.5 rpg.), 6-2 Bashaara Graves (14.3 ppg., 8.5 rpg.) and 6-3 Isabelle Harrison (12.0 ppg., 10.0 rpg.). Nia Moore also is patrolling the paint on the defensive end, averaging 2.5 blocked shots per game.
EMBRACING CHARITY Tennessee is shooting 77.2% from the free throw line as a team. UT’s opponents are 28 of 47 for 59.6%. The Lady Vols have connected on 61 of 79 attempts thus far. UT was 12 of 14 vs. Penn, hit 10 of 12 against Oral Roberts and dipped to 11 of 16 vs. Winthrop before hitting 28 of 37 vs. TSU. Ariel Massengale (4-4) and Alexa Middleton (4-4) remain perfect from the line, while Jordan Reynolds (7-8), Isabelle Harrison (45), Andraya Carter (4-5) and Kortney Dunbar (1-2) each have missed only one.
ARIEL IS LOCKED IN After missing the exhibition game and season opener due to a team rule violation (missed a class), and sitting out the final 16 games of the 2013-14 season due to injury, senior Ariel Massengale picked right up where she left off last season, and then some. Massengale hit eight of 12 shots from the field and was 4-of-4 from the free throw line to pace UT with 21 points vs. Oral Roberts. She also added three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. She followed that by hitting a career-high

2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
six threes, including five in quick succession, and finishing with 20 points vs. Winthrop. She now has two 20-plus point efforts this season and five for her career. Massengale leads UT with a 62.1 field goal percentage (18-29), including nine of 18 on threes for 50%, and is second in scoring average at 16.3. Over the first 19 games last year, Massengale averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 assists per game and had three games of scoring 20 or more points, making the all-tournament team at the Junkanoo Jam tourney in the Bahamas.
FIRE WHEN READY With Meighan Simmons graduating and taking with her a gift for three-point shooting, UT has had all three rookies hit long balls and Ariel Massengale got into the act in a big way vs. Winthrop. Ariel Massengale is 9-of-19 and Kortney Dunbar is 7-of-15 to lead Tennessee so far in 2014-15. Massengale hit six threes vs. Winthrop, including five straight at one point. The Lady Vols are 21 of 64 on treys through four games this season, edging their makes of a year ago (20) at this time despite long-range bomber Meighan Simmons graduating and moving on to the professional ranks.
MOORE, MOORE, MOORE What a difference a year makes. UT's leading scorer is Nia Moore (20.8 ppg.), who averaged 2.3 as a sophomore last season. Moore has scored in double figures in the first four games and is averaging 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks. Moore entered the season averaging 2.5 points and 2.0 rebounds for her career. She now has scored 83 points this season in four games, which is more than the career season high of 55 she tallied as a freshman. After scoring 29 points in the exhibition contest vs. Carson-Newman on Nov. 9, Moore appeared to be out to prove a point
that her effort was no fluke. The 6-3 post connected on 12 of 18 shots to card a career- and game-high 24 points for the Lady Vols vs. Penn. Just for good measure, she rounded up career highs of 14 rebounds and four blocked shots and tied her career best with three assists. Moore’s points/rebounds double-double was one of a school-record four for UT vs. Penn. It also was the first time she led the squad in scoring in a regular season game and third time she paced UT on the boards. Moore’s previous regular season career bests were 12 points (Ole Miss, 2/10/13), 13 rebounds (Troy, 12/14/13), three blocks (Tenn. State, 12/17/13) and three assists (Troy, 12/14/13). Moore followed that Penn effort with 20 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 29 minutes vs. Oral Roberts. Moore had more field goals (27) in two games than she did in either her entire freshman or sophomore seasons when she had 19 each. After tossing in 14 points vs. Winthrop, Moore posted a career-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to secure her second double-double of the season vs. Tennessee State. Moore has connected on 37-of-64 attempts from the field for 57.8%.
LADY VOL 20-20 CLUB Nia Moore is in some good company with her back-to-back 20+ point scoring efforts to open the campaign. Moore had 24 vs. Penn and 20 vs. Oral Roberts, becoming just the sixth Lady Vol to accomplish 20-point games in the first two games of the season. Only two Lady Vols have ever had more than two 20+ games to open a campaign, and they were Lady Vol legends Candace Parker (4) and Chamique Holdsclaw (3). Ariel Massengale notched back-to-back 20-point games after sitting out the first game of the season.

TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY Thompson-Boling Arena and Knoxville have long had a reputation as a difficult place for visitors to win. The Lady Vols are 388-28 all-time at Thompson-Boling Arena in 28 seasons, ranking the venue No. 3 behind UConn’s Gampel Pavilion and Florida Gulf Coast’s Alico Arena, which only opened in 2007, in winning percentage. In all Knoxville venues, including Alumni Gym, Stokely Athletics Center and Thompson-Boling Arena, UT is a remarkable 541-52 over the past 41 years (since 1974-75). That ranks Knoxville as the toughest city in the nation to get an NCAA Division I women's basketball victory. UT has won 12 or more games in the arena in each of its previous 27 years of existence and 14 on 19 occasions. Tennessee has posted 11 seasons with no losses in the facility. The Big Orange women are 42-0 at Thompson-Boling Arena during NCAA play, including 14-0 in the First Round, 22-0 in the Second Round, 3-0 in the Sweet 16 and 3-0 in the Elite 8.
MASSENGALE RAINS ON WINTHROP Ariel Massengale connected on her first five 3-point field goals of the game to set the tone, as #4/5 Tennessee thumped Winthrop, 81-48, on Nov. 21 at Thompson-Boling Arena. The senior connected on a career-best 6-of10 3-point field goals in the game on the way to a game-high 20 points.
HITTING THE BOARDS Tennessee outrebounded Penn, 60-30, in the opener and had a 27-12 advantage on the offensive glass. Tennessee only had three games all last season (Ga. Tech, 65; Troy, 74; Lipscomb, 61) where it had 60 or more boards. The Lady Vols hauled down 27 offensive caroms vs. the Quakers, a total that was eclipsed only twice a year ago (Ga. Tech, 33; Troy, 32). Nia Moore (14), Isabelle Harrison (10) and Bashaara Graves (10) each pulled down double-digit rebound totals vs. Penn. The Big Orange women then outrebounded Oral Roberts, 48-39, with Bashaara Graves notching 10 boards for the second straight contest. UT won the battle of the boards vs. Winthrop, as well, with Bashaara Graves and Cierra Burdick each registering 10 rebounds. Tennessee didn’t get the job done vs. Tennessee State, allowing the smaller Lady Tigers to take the rebounding battle, 42-37. That board deficit to TSU was the Lady Vols’ first of the season. The Big Orange were out-rebounded only three times (Stanford, Arkansas, Maryland) all last season.
DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE Tennessee set a program record in the opener vs Penn, with four Lady Vols recording double-doubles in a game for the first time in school history.
Nia Moore had career highs of 24 points and 14 rebounds to card her second career double-double. Alexa Middleton had 20 points and 11 assists to open her career with a doubledouble. Bashaara Graves posted 16 points and 10 rebounds for the (then) 14th double-double of her career. Isabelle Harrison came off the bench to round up 12 points and 10 boards and improve her SEC-leading career total of double-doubles to 25 at that point. Graves added more double-doubles vs. Oral Roberts (12 pts./10 rebs.) and Winthrop (15 pts./10 rebs.). She now has 16 for her career. Moore produced a career-high 25 points and added 11 boards vs. Tennessee State. UT has seven total double-doubles through three games.
ON THE INJURY FRONT Junior forward Jasmine Jones collided with a Penn player and had to leave the game on Nov. 14. She played only seven minutes and did not return due to what was later diagnosed as a mild concussion. Jones has missed the last three games and is listed as day to day. Isabelle Harrison suffered a right leg injury with 3:26 remaining in the Penn game and had to be helped from the floor. She was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in her right knee and has missed the last threegames. She is listed as day to day as well.
A VERY PRODUCTIVE BENCH Tennessee is moving toward having its full complement of players, but it hasn't done badly with the number of reserves available being limited. The Lady Vols are outscoring opposing benches, 141 to 55 (35.3-13.8). UT had a four-player bench vs. Tennessee State and Winthrop and three reserves vs. ORU and Penn. Isabelle Harrison and Jasmine Jones are day-to-day and could return soon, while Jannah Tucker's timetable has not been finalized. Despite having only three players available off the bench, Tennessee outscored Penn’s nine reserves, 37-13, in the opener. Kortney Dunbar (15), Isabelle Harrison (12) and Jaime Nared (10) combined for that total, with Harrison adding 10 rebounds for her 25th career double-double. Tennessee was without Cierra Burdick, Andraya Carter, Ariel Massengale and Jannah Tucker vs. Penn and Carson-Newman (exhibition) due to violations of team rules that head coach Holly Warlick announced on Weds., Nov. 5 and clarified postgame of the exhibition vs. C-N on Nov. 9. Carter and Massengale returned to action vs. Oral Roberts on Nov. 17, but Isabelle Harrison and Jasmine Jones missed the contest due to injuries, while Cierra Burdick sat out her final game of suspension. That meant Warlick again had a bench of only three players vs. ORU, but the reserves outscored the Golden Eagles’ bench, 39-13. Ariel Massengale had 21 points, while Kortney Dunbar added 10 and Andraya Carter eight for UT’s subs vs. ORU. With Cierra Burdick's return vs. Winthrop, Tennessee had four reserves and out-
scored the Eagles, 32-12, to up their season total to 108-38. The Lady Vols had a 33-17 bench points edge vs. Tennessee State. Jannah Tucker, who is working her way back from an offseason procedure on her left knee, will miss two contests at the time she has been cleared medically to return to competition in games. Diamond DeShields and Mercedes Russell are redshirting, leaving Holly Warlick with a roster of 12 when all are healthy.
SENSATIONAL ROOKIE DEBUTS For only the second time in school history, three Lady Vol freshmen scored in double figures in the same game during their regular season debuts. Alexa Middleton tossed in 20 points, Kortney Dunbar scored 15 and Jaime Nared added 10 to accomplish the feat. The first trio to do it made it happen vs. East Carolina on Nov. 24, 1985, as Sheila Frost (16), Bridgette Gordon (13) and Melissa McCray (10) spurred #9/11 UT to a 74-56 vic-
tory in Knoxville. Frost, Gordon and McCray went on to lead UT to NCAA titles No. 1 and 2 in 1987 and 1989. Middleton also posted a single-game best for most assists in a Lady Vol debut, dishing out 11 to surpass the nine Jody Adams had as #1/1 Tennessee beat Stetson on Nov. 26, 1989, 112-39. That assist total ties for the second most ever by a freshman in any game. Ariel Massengale holds the record with 12 vs. Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2012. Massengale also had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 26, 2012, while Meighan Simmons had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. Middleton’s 20 points were the most in a rookie debut since Meighan Simmons came off the bench to score 22 for #4/4 Tennessee in a 63-50 win at Louisville on Nov. 12, 2012. Middleton is only the fifth Lady Vol rookie to score 20 or more points in her debut. With her points/assists double-double, Middleton became the seventh Lady Vol freshman and first rookie guard to post a double-double in her first game.
2014 LADY VOL SIGNEES On national signing day on Nov. 12, third-year head coach Holly Warlick and her staff, who already will add talented transfer Diamond DeShields into the mix next fall after a redshirt season, signed 5-foot-8 point guard Te’a (TAY-uh) Cooper of McEachern (mick-EE-churn) High School in Powder Springs, Ga., and 5-11 wing Jamasha (juh-ME-sha) “MeMe” Jackson of Blackman High in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The previous rookie debut double-double was Glory Johnson’s 17/12 effort vs. San Francisco in 2008. In addition to Middleton and Johnson, the other freshman debut double-doubles, all of them of the points/rebounds variety, were by Mary Ostrowski (15/10 vs. Alabama in 1980), Lisa Harrison (13/12 vs. Stetson in 1989), Tiffany Johnson (18/17 vs. La. Tech in 1994), Chamique Holdsclaw (13/10 vs. Virginia in 1995) and Candace Parker (19/10 vs. Stetson in 2005).
ROOKIE FIRST-GAME STARTS Alexa Middleton became the 18th freshman to start her first game as a Lady Vol. She did quite nicely, finishing with a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists to go along with six rebounds, three steals and zero turnovers in 32 minutes. Andraya Carter was the last rookie to draw a starting nod, reporting for the opening tip at Chattanooga in 2012. Senior Ariel Massengale also started her first game in 2011-12, as (then) head coach Pat Summitt predicted before Massengale arrived on campus. Massengale made her debut vs. Pepperdine in Knoxville in 2011, tallying two points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals. A year ago, Mercedes Russell had 11 points, seven rebounds, an assist, three blocks and a steal in UT’s opening-game win at Middle Tennessee. In 2012 Bashaara Graves came off the bench to score 14 points and haul down eight rebounds in UT’s opening-night setback at Chattanooga.
NUMBERS GAME This marks the 70th season of Lady Vol basketball, as recognized by the NCAA. Minus departed senior guard Meighan Simmons and redshirting sophomore center Mercedes Russell, UT returns 70.7% of its points, 83.2% of its rebounds, 81.7% of its assists, 79.5% of its steals, 68.9% of its blocks and 76.2% of its turnovers from last season. Tennessee has 14 players on its roster, marking the most since having 15 in 200405. Twelve are active this season. UT has 10 players on its roster who stand 6-0 or taller, the most in school history. Eight of those six-footers are active this year.
There are eight Lady Vols 6-2 or taller on the roster, also the most in school history. Seven of those players are active this season.
TOUGH SCHEDULE FOR UT Tennessee will face eight teams this season that were ranked in the AP Preseason Poll, including five in the top 10. UT also will face eight in the USA Today Coaches Poll, including five in the top 10. Foes ranked by AP include No. 2 South Carolina, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Stanford, No. 9 Texas, No. 11 Kentucky, No. 20 Oregon State and No. 24 Rutgers. UT’s ranked USA Today Coaches Poll opponents include No. 2 South Carolina, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 6 Stanford, No. 10 Kentucky, No. 12 Texas, No. 21 Oregon State and No. 24 LSU. The Lady Vols also meet five teams receiving votes from AP: LSU, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Mississippi State. UT is lined up to face four squads garnering votes in the preseason coaches poll: Rutgers, Georgia, Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Twenty-two of 29 teams on Tennessee’s regular season schedule saw post-season action in 2013-14. Notre Dame and Stanford were 2014 Final Four teams.
UT BEGAN AT NO. 4 IN RANKINGS Tennessee entered the season ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls, which came out on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, respectively. A year ago, UT also entered the campaign ranked fourth by AP and the coaches. Tennessee finished the 2013-14 campaign ranked fourth by AP and third by USA Today.
OTHER PRESEASON PREDICTIONS The Lady Vols were ranked fifth in the espnW.com preseason poll. UT was fifth in Lindy’s Sports Annuals Preseason Top 25. Graham Hays of espnW.com has the Big Orange at seventh. Athlon had Tennessee at No. 7, while The Sporting News ranked the Lady Vols No. 8.

SUPPORTING LAUREN HILL Number 22. Only two players have ever had a Lady Vol game jersey with that number on it. After the jersey was retired on Feb. 18, 1980, no basketball player has had a No. 22 Tennessee jersey since then. There wasn’t supposed to be another one until Lauren Hill came along. Hill, a freshman basketball player at Mount St. Joseph University, joins third-year UT head coach Holly Warlick (1976-80) and Joy Scruggs (1971-75) as the only basketball players to possess a Tennessee uniform with double deuces. Hill’s inspirational story moved Warlick, Tennessee’s third-year head coach, and Michael Beaumont, the team’s director of operations, to find a way to show Tennessee’s admiration and support for Hill in any way they could. “We were all very touched and moved by Lauren’s story and her desire to play one more basketball game,” Warlick said. “We’ve talked a lot this preseason about being thankful for what we’ve been given and taking advantage of every day, because you never know what can happen. “Lauren’s attitude and fight and spirit embody exactly what we’ve been trying to convey, so we couldn’t help but connect and relate to her immediately. She’s one of us.” 2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
belle Harrison wasn’t one of those five, she was among 12 other players who garnered votes for the team. espnW.com ranked its top 25 players in advance of the 2014-15 season, and Isabelle Harrison is the No. 9 ranked player. Harrison was an espnW preseason AllAmerica second team choice. Bashaara Graves was the No. 23 ranked player, according to espnW.com.
TENNESSEE NO. 2 IN SEC POLLS Tennessee was picked by both the media (Oct. 21) and coaches (Nov. 5) to finish second in the Southeastern Conference race behind South Carolina. USC won the SEC regular season trophy, and UT claimed the tourney title a year ago. Tennessee won the regular season finale over the Gamecocks last season in Knoxville, 73-61, on March 2. Texas A&M and Kentucky rounded out the top four in both preseason SEC polls.
PRESEASON SEC HONORS FOR TWO League coaches named senior center Isabelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves to the preseason All-SEC First Team. The media, which picks only a five-player preseason All-SEC Team, included Harrison in their all-star quintet.
THE LOGO REMAINS THE SAME UT announced a branding restructure on Nov. 10, and the decision will allow the Lady Volunteers to continue using their highlyrecognizable and successful brand. The restructure won’t take place until July 1, 2015, but the university and all other athletics teams at Tennessee, except for women’s basketball, will then utilize the “Power T” logo. The women’s basketball program was excluded from the transition because of the accomplishments and legacy of the championship program built by Coach Pat Summitt and her former players. “#OneTennessee has united all the athletic programs here at the University of Tennessee,” said head women’s basketball coach Holly Warlick. “The value of this bonding enriches the support we can offer to all student-athletes. We now have unlimited access to our tremendous facilities and programs that not only benefit our current athletes while also promoting our pursuit of excellence to future prospects. “The advantage of a state-of-the-art training facility, our Smokey’s Grill dining facility, where athletes from every sport can eat together, and the modernized future athletic housing are just a few examples of how the One Tennessee premise confirms our high ideals. “The Lady Vol logo, however, has long been the monogram of excellence and a tradition among our loyal basketball fans. This is a symbol that is recognized and linked with a superior standard of women’s basketball worldwide. In the 38 years of Coach Summitt’s storied career, she established a tradition unlike any other in women’s basketball, and she did so under the banner of the Lady Vol logo. It is with deep respect for Coach Summitt and this great tradition that we will continue to wear the Lady Vol logo with great pride.”

NINE LETTERWINNERS RETURN Tennessee returns nine letterwinners, (eight active) including four starters, from last year’s team that went 29-6 overall and 13-3 in the Southeastern Conference, won an SEC tournament championship and made the NCAA Sweet 16. Isabelle Harrison, a 6-foot-3 senior center, is Tennessee’s top returning player and All-America candidate, having averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a junior with an SEC-leading 18 double-doubles. Also back are 6-2 junior forward Bashaara Graves (9.3 ppg., 6.8 rpg.), 6-2 senior forward Cierra Burdick (8.7 ppg., 7.3 rpg.) and 5-6 senior point guard Ariel Massengale (12.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.). Massengale started the first 19 games until a facial injury suffered vs. Florida ended her season. Andraya Carter, now a 5-9 redshirt sophomore, stepped in for Massengale and averaged 6.9 points and 2.3 assists per contest while starting 21 contests. Carter made the SEC All-Freshman Team last season, while Burdick was named to the 2014 SEC All-Tournament Team. Graves was SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC First Team in 2012-13. Jasmine Jones (4.8 ppg., 3.5 rpg.), a 6-2 junior forward returns as UT’s top defender and most athletic player, while 5-11 sophomore Jordan Reynolds (3.8 ppg., 1.9 rpg.) and 6-3 junior Nia Moore (2.3 ppg., 2.1 rpg.) offer experience at the guard and center positions.
ESPN “NEED TO KNOW” PLAYER Isabelle Harrison had a breakout junior season, earning All-SEC First Team and SEC Tournament MVP accolades as well as thirdteam Full Court All-America kudos and honorable mention All-America from AP and the WBCA. For those and a few other reason, ESPN tabbed Harrison as one of its “Need To Know” players this season. Harrison ranked first in the SEC in field goal percentage (57.7%) and double-doubles (18), second in rebound average (9.3) and 18th in scoring average (13.6). She set a Tennessee junior record with those 18 double-doubles, passing the previous record holder, Chamique Holdsclaw, who had 16 in 1997-98. Only Candace Parker had more doubledoubles in a season for UT, tallying 21 as a sophomore in 2006-07. From Dec. 14, 2014 to Jan. 9, 2014, Harrison posted seven-straight games with double-doubles, setting a Lady Vol program

record for consecutive double-doubles. She scored in double figures in 31 of 35 contests, including 20 games in a row from Nov. 29-Feb. 20. She racked up 20 contests with 10 or more rebounds. Earned SEC Tournament MVP honors after leading UT to its 17th postseason league title, averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in the tourney.
LOOK WHO’S MOVING UP THE CHARTS Tennessee will have several players capable of joining the 38-member Lady Vol 1,000-point club this season. The group includes Bashaara Graves (844), Isabelle Harrison (827), Ariel Massengale (808) and Cierra Burdick (708). Three Lady Vols have 500 or more rebounds, including Harrison (607), Graves (553) and Burdick (548), and it takes 811 or more to break into the all-time leaders club. On the UT career double-doubles list, Harrison ranks eighth with 25, while Bashaara Graves (16) and Cierra Burdick (12) stand No. 19 and No. 25, respectively. Massengale currently ranks ninth on UT’s career assists list with 434 (439 is 8th) and had the No. 2 career assist average at 4.9 entering her senior season. Massengale’s 5.8 apg. average in 2013-14 was fourth-best in school history. Massengale is attempting to become only the second Lady Vol to lead the team in assists four straight seasons. Dawn Marsh (1984-88) is the only one to do it. On the career free throw percentage list, Massengale entered the year ranked No. 10 at .796. Harrison is ranked 10th in career blocks with 107 and is No. 7 on the career block average chart at 1.15. Graves began the year ranked No. 10 on UT’s career rebound average list at 7.4 per contest.
FOUR SEEK 1,000-POINT MILESTONE Bashaara Graves (844), Isabelle Harrison (827), Ariel Massengale (808) and Cierra Burdick (708) are trying to reach the 1,000-point plateau in their college careeers. Tennessee has had 38 players score 1,000 points, but it has never before had four do so in the same season. There have been nine occasions where Tennessee has had three players with 1,000 points on the same team. The last trio to do that came in 201011, when Angie Bjorklund (1,469), Shekinna Stricklen (1,343) and Glory Johnson (1,132) accomplished that feat.
RUSSELL SITS, SIMMONS GRADUATES Of Tennessee’s nine returning letterwinners this season, one of them won’t be playing in 2014-15 as she redshirts to completely recover from off-season foot surgeries. Mercedes Russell (6.3 ppg., 5.0 rpg.), a 6-6 sophomore center, will sit out, leaving UT with eight active returning letterwinners but allowing the Oregonian three more years of eligibility at Tennessee. The Lady Vols lost only one player to graduation, but it was a key one in Meighan “Speedy” Simmons. Simmons concluded her career as Tennessee’s No. 5 all-time scorer with 2,064 points in 143 games. She is only the fifth player in school history to reach the 2,000-point plateau, joining Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025, 1995-99), Bridgette Gordon (2,462, 1985-89), Candace Parker (2,137, 2005-08) and Tamika Catchings (2,113, 1997-2001). Simmons continued the program’s 100-percent graduation rate when she earned a B.A. in psychology in August 2014. Simmons averaged 16.5 points per game as a senior to rank No. 5 in the SEC. The 5-9 guard was named AP SEC Player of the Year and All-SEC First Team, and earned Full Court All-America Second Team as well as AP and WBCA Honorable Mention All-America distinction. Known for her three-point shooting prowess, Simmons finished with 255 threes in her career to rank No. 4 at UT and her 72 treys in 2013-14 stacked up No. 7.
TUCKER EYES RETURN TO ACTION Big Orange Nation is excited, but no one is more anxious to return to the court this year than redshirt freshman Jannah Tucker. Tucker was the No. 8 ranked recruit in the 2013 espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, but her journey to playing at Tennessee was sidetracked by two unfortunate situations. First, she suffered an injury to her left knee while playing on the USA U18 squad at the 2012 FIBA Americas Championship. She sat out her senior year of high school rehabbing from that misfortune. Expected to begin attending school at UT during summer 2013, Tucker didn’t arrive on campus until Jan. 2014. It was later learned her delay in coming to UT was the result of her being the victim of domestic violence. Tucker quickly fit in with her teammates and was an encourager on the bench for the squad in 2013-14. A procedure to clean up the knee oc-

curred during summer 2014, and Tucker is progressing toward a return to the court in 2014-15.
SIXTH-RANKED FRESHMAN CLASS No. 6-rated Jaime Nared, a 6-2 guard/ forward from Portland, Ore./Westview H.S. is UT’s top-ranked signee and averaged 30.0 ppg. as a senior there. In-state product Alexa Middleton, ranked No. 28 by espnW HoopGurlz, is a 5-9 guard who led her Murfreesboro, Tenn./Riverdale H.S. squad to a pair of state titles. Three-point marksman Kortney Dunbar joins UT as the No. 78 signee. She drained 57 treys and averaged 16.8 ppg. and 9.7 rpg. as a senior at Edwardsville (Ill.) H.S. Nared and Middleton were 2014 McDonald’s High School All-Americans, with Nared leading the West to victory with 15 points. Middleton won the Powerade Jam Fest skills competition and three-point shootout in conjunction with the McDonald’s Game. She became the first McDonald’s AllAmerican to win two contests at the Powerade Jam Fest.
DESHIELDS TRANSFERS TO UT After previously announcing her departure from North Carolina, Diamond DeShields shared her decision to transfer to UT from UNC on June 12, 2014, and enrolled here for the second session of summer school. DeShields, a 6-0 sophomore guard from Norcross, Ga., will sit out this season at UT, per NCAA transfer rules. DeShields expressed interest in Tennessee coming out of high school but opted for UNC on signing day. The consensus national freshman of the year for the Tar Heels, DeShields averaged a team-leading 18.0 ppg., 5.4 rpg., 2.6 apg. and 1.7 spg. in 2013-14. She earned honorable mention All-America honors from AP and Full Court and was both All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman. She set four ACC freshman marks, including points (648), field goals (248), field goals attempted (582) and double-figure scoring games (32). DeShields’ mother, Tisha (Milligan) DeShields, was a track & field All-American at Tennessee (heptathlon) in 1991.
UT’S RECRUITING RANKINGS UT signed the No. 1 espnW HoopGurlz recruiting class in 2011, No. 5 in 2012, No. 3 in 2013 and No. 6 in 2014. The top-ranked 2011 group, this year’s seniors, included No. 3 Cierra Burdick, No. 4 Ariel Massengale and No. 29 Isabelle Harrison. The 2013 class included No. 1 Mercedes Russell, No. 8 Jannah Tucker and No. 42 Jordan Reynolds, but they now can add that year’s No. 3 recruit, Diamond DeShields. The top signees from 2012 and 2014 are Bashaara Graves (No. 5) and Jaime Nared (No. 6), respectively.
EIGHT MCDONALD’S A-AS ON ROSTER Tennessee has eight McDonald’s AllAmericans on its roster, and six of those players are expected to be on the floor this season. The eight players are Cierra Burdick, Diamond DeShields, Bashaara Graves, Ariel Massengale, Alexa Middleton, Jaime Nared, Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell.
DeShields and Russell are redshirting this season. Russell was the 2013 McDonald’s Game MVP, leading the West to a win with 16 points. Nared led the West to a win in 2014 with 15 points but came up short in MVP voting. Tennessee now has had 26 McDonald’s All-Americans through the years.
LADY VOLS A POPULAR DRAW The Lady Vols will have 21 of 30 games, including 15 of 16 league tilts, scheduled for television this season. Tennessee will be featured 12 times on TV via the SEC Network, four times on ESPN2, twice each on ESPNU and Fox Sports Net, and once on Fox Sports 1. Twenty of those 21 contests also will be available via WatchESPN, with the Fox Sports 1 telecast being the only exception. Fifteen of 16 Big Orange SEC contests will be televised, with the Feb. 12 game at Ole Miss being the exception. The nine non-televised games will be broadcast online. Seven of those events will be carried by SEC Network +, and the others will be on GoMocs.com (Nov. 26 at Chattanooga) and on ESPN3 (Dec. 7 at Lipscomb). MORE GOLD FOR BURDICK Lady Vol senior Cierra Burdick earned her fourth gold medal with USA Basketball over the summer. Burdick joined Sara Hammond (Louisville), Jewell Loyd (Notre Dame) and Tiffany Mitchell (South Carolina) to capture the 2014 FIBA 3x3 World Championship in Moscow, Russia. The USA quartet qualified for the world tourney in May by winning at the 2014 USA Basketball Women’s 3x3 National Championship in Colorado Springs. Burdick also struck gold at the 2011 U19 World Championship, 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.
WE GO TO CLASS & GRADUATE Go to class, be on time and sit in the front three rows are three rules that are Tennessee staples. While some might consider those standards incredibly high, it certainly contributes to the Lady Vols having a 100 percent graduation rate for players who complete their eligibility at UT. It also helps explain why seven of 11 players on last year’s squad were members of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
IT’S NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS Against former Lady Vols as head coaches, Warlick is 4-1, including 3-1 vs. Nikki Caldwell (LSU) and 1-0 vs. Tonya Edwards (Alcorn State).

SIMMONS FINISHES FIFTH IN SCORING Meighan Simmons wrapped up her prolific Lady Vol career on March 30, 2014, scoring 31 points vs. Maryland in her collegiate finale. That tally pushed her career total to 2,064, ranking her fifth in UT women’s basketball history. Simmons joined Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025), Bridgette Gordon (2,462), Candace Parker (2,137) and Tamika Catchings (2,113) as the only Tennessee women to eclipse the 2,000-point plateau in their college careers. Simmons started 127 of her 143 games as a Lady Vol, averaging 14.4 points per contest from 2010-14 to rank ninth in UT annals. She is tied for fourth among all Lady Vols in career games played and fifth in games started. A noted long-range bomber, Simmons tied her own UT record for most three-pointers in a game with eight vs. Virginia on Nov. 28, 2013. Simmons finished fourth in career threes with 255 and her total of 72 last season was the seventh-most by a Lady Vol in a single campaign, following the 69 (No. 8) she drained as a junior. Her career field goal attempts (740) rank No. 1 in Big Orange history. In total field goals made, Simmons ranks No. 6 (746) in Tennessee history and is No. 3 (1,834) in field goals attempted. Simmons scored in double figures 30 times as a senior and did so on 109 occasions in her career. In her tenure, Simmons scored 20 or more points on 30 occasions and 30 or more four times. She had 10 20-point efforts and three 30-point performances in 2013-14.
MASSENGALE AMONG UT’S ELITE In an injury-curtailed season, Ariel Massengale averaged 5.8 assists per game in 2013-14, a rate that was fourth-best in school history. She ranks No. 2 in career apg. at 4.9 and her 430 career assists rank her No. 9 at UT. Massengale is seeking to become only the second player in school history to lead UT in assists all four years. Dawn Marsh is the other.

THOMAS, UMD END UT’S SEASON No. 1 seed Tennessee’s season came to an abrupt halt with a 73-62 loss to fourth-seeded Maryland on March 30, 2014, in the Sweet 16 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. The Lady Vols finished 2013-14 with a 29-6 record, including a 13-3 SEC mark that left them second in the SEC regular season race. Senior Meighan Simmons tallied 31 points in her final college game, while Jasmine Jones chipped in 11 as the only other Lady Vol in double figures. Bashaara Graves corralled 14 rebounds, and Isabelle Harrison grabbed 10 boards to pace UT on the glass. Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas fired in a career-high 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Terps on to the Elite Eight. Lexie Brown added 14 points, while Laurin Mincy tossed in 11. It marked Tennessee’s 32nd visit to the Sweet 16, and UMD prevented the Lady Vols from making their 27th Elite Eight appearance. Simmons was named to the NCAA AllLouisville Regional Team.
LADY VOLS WIN JUNKANOO JAM Ariel Massengale paced No. 3/4 Tennessee with 16 points, and the Lady Vols used a big second half to crush SMU, 87-47, on Nov. 29 and win the Lucaya Division championship of the 11th-annual Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas. The win marked UT’s first holiday tournament title since winning the 2005 Paradise Jam during Thanksgiving break in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It also was UT’s first-ever countable regular season victory in a true foreign country. The Lady Vols advanced to Friday’s title game after defeating Virginia, 76-67, on Thursday. Tennessee shot 46.6 percent vs. SMU, including 55.9 percent in the second half (19of-34). UT outscored the Mustangs, 48-20, after halftime and enjoyed a 54-31 rebounding advantage for the game. Meighan Simmons paced UT past UVa in the first round game, firing in a season-best 32 points and nailing a career-high-tying eight three-pointers.

HEAD COACH HOLLY WARLICK
THE WARLICK FILE Born: June 11, 1958 Education: Bearden High School (Knoxville, Tenn.),‘76 B.S., Tennessee, ‘81 M.S., Virginia Tech, ‘83 Playing Career: University of Tennessee (1976-80): three-time All-American, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, 1980 Olympic Team, first player at UT to have her jersey (#22) retired For more than three decades, Holly Warlick has been instrumental in the phenomenal success story that is Tennessee Lady Vols basketball. Her impact on the program stretches from her ground-breaking days as a three-time All-America point guard at UT (1976-80), to her 27 highlyproductive years as a loyal assistant for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt, to her ascension to the head coaching position at UT. Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart named Warlick head coach of the Lady Vols on April 18, 2012, as Summitt stepped into the role of head coach emeritus. In a touching and symbolic gesture the following day at a press conference announcing the changes, Summitt presented her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and former floor general. Warlick proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was up to the task with her debut effort in 2012-13. Despite having a young, inexperienced team that was picked to finish as low as fifth in the SEC and 20th nationally, the first-year head coach impressively directed her troops to a 27-8 overall record and a 14-2 mark in league play. That effort earned Tennessee its 17th all-time SEC regular season title, and it enabled a team that saw injuries force players to miss a combined total of 53 games to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the 26th time in school history. Improvement demonstrated by players not only translated into wins on the court, it also resulted in postseason attention. Meighan Simmons was named a thirdteam AP All-American, SEC Co-Player of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Bashaara Graves was chosen a Full Court Freshman All-American, SEC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Kamiko Williams, meanwhile, was taken in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Warlick also was singled out for her performance, which included scoring a top-three recruiting class complete with the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in 6-foot-6 Mercedes Russell. The members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named her the Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year. She was selected by AP and league coaches as the SEC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, and members of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association also chose her as TSWA Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. In year two, Warlick directed the team to a 29-6 record and the program’s second SEC trophy in as many years with the capturing of the 2014 SEC Tournament. Among her top players were AP SEC Player of the Year Meighan Simmons, who was a third-round WNBA Draft pick of the New York Liberty, and Isabelle Harrison, a firstteam All-SEC choice and the SEC tourney’s MVP. Warlick and her staff also continued building for the future, landing the nation’s number six signing class in 2014. Anchoring that group are McDonald’s All-Americans Jaime Nared and Alexa Middleton, the nation’s No. 6 and No. 28 ranked players. After Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball as an assistant on Summitt’s staff for more than a quarter of a century, the pupil took on greater responsibility and oversaw daily supervision of the basketball office during the 2011-12 season. She also handled a large measure of the media obligations after Summitt’s Aug.
23, 2011, announcement regarding the diagnosis of earlyonset dementia, “Alzheimer’s type.” Providing an excellent example of how people rally around each other, the Tennessee staff members pulled together remarkably in the face of that adversity. The end result was a 27-9 overall record, a league-best 16th SEC Tournament Championship and advancement to the NCAA Regional Final. It’s worth noting that Warlick was by Summitt’s side, either as a player or an assistant, for 949 of the coach’s NCAA-record 1,098 wins and all eight NCAA National Championships. Her value to the program has been evident for some time, as she had held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also had recognized Warlick’s contributions to Tennessee’s success through the years, naming Warlick the nation’s top assistant coach after she helped lead UT to its seventh national title in 2007. The NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches also recognized Warlick as one of the nation’s top assistants in 1998, ranking her prominently in The Women’s Basketball Journal poll. In addition to the NCAA title and coaching honor in 2007, Warlick also teamed up for the first time with former fellow Lady Vol player and assistant Nikki Caldwell, the current head coach at LSU, to pursue her other passion. That pursuit is riding a motorcycle and raising money for the fight against breast cancer. Warlick and Caldwell created the Champions For A Cause Foundation, a long haul motorcycle ride dedicated to raising funds and awareness for a cure for breast cancer. The charitable organization has raised and donated more than $150,000. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips from the Badlands to Las Vegas and from Knoxville to Key West, Fla., New Orleans, Niagara Falls and, most recently in 2013 and 2014, Panama City, Fla. With all of her accomplishments in coaching and in her charitable endeavors it might be easy to overlook the fact that Warlick left just as powerful a mark on women’s hoops as a player at UT. It doesn’t seem that long ago that the charismatic Knoxville native was flying up and down the court as an All-America Lady Vol point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been considered the finest point guard ever to play for the Lady Vols. In addition to being selected to the CONVERSE/Lady Vol Team of the Decade for the 1980s in January of 1994, five different halls of fame opened their doors to her. On Feb. 27, 2004, she was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In October 2002, she became a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame in the second class of inductees. In June 2001, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selected Warlick as one of 10 inductees enshrined into the Hall for the Class of 2001. For the hometown girl, who grew up in the Rocky Hill section of Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School, it was a dream-come-true. In the summer of 1994, Warlick gained admission to her first hall of fame. She was honored as one of the City of Knoxville’s finest all-time athletes with her inclusion in the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including the 2013-14 season, Warlick has invested 33 years in the program, having helped shape UT into a national powerhouse with tenure as both a player and a coach. Warlick’s expertise and major contributions to the team as an assistant came from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm All-America Team. Additionally, Warlick has been a highly-successful recruiter for the backcourt, attracting some of the nation’s finest players to UT to continue the excellence she helped establish as a player. The Lady Vols welcomed another top flight guard to the Orange and White for 2010-11 when she landed McDonald’s All-American Ariel Massengale. As a rookie in 2011-12, Massengale lived up to her billing, earning Full Court Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. The point guard posted a UT freshman record of 162 assists, ranking second in the SEC in that category, and leading the conference in assist-toturnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak AllAmerican and four-time Lady Vol All-SEC performer Kara Lawson and three-time All-SEC selection Shanna Zolman. That trio accounts for the school records for most of UT’s three-point marks. Warlick’s association with the Lady Vols started in 1976 when she joined the program as a scholarship 400-meter track athlete who ended up walking on to the basketball team. Soon, she would become the most prolific player in the history of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball. Warlick was the first player in Tennessee athletics (men or women) to have her jersey retired (number 22) at the end of her career in 1980. Bearden, her prep alma mater in Knoxville, retired Warlick’s high school jersey (also No. 22) prior to a home football game on Oct. 26, 2012. Known as a play-making wiz during her four years as UT’s point guard, Warlick was once tabbed the “best player in the South.” As a rookie, Warlick helped lead the Lady Vols to their first Final Four appearance in school his-

tory in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 33 years Warlick has been affiliated with UT, she has found herself at the Final Four as a player (1977, 1979, 1980) or as a coach (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Her best Final Four showing as a player was national championship runner-up in her senior season. As a coach, she has helped the Lady Vols win all eight times (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008). A three-time All-American while playing for Summitt from 1976-80, Warlick previously held UT records for most assists in a game (14), most steals in a contest (nine), most assists in a season (225) and most games in a career (142). She continues to hold the Lady Vol single-season steals record with 141 in 1978-79. Warlick possesses vast international experience as well. A member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic basketball team, Warlick also participated in the Jones C up, Pan American Games and World Championship competition. In addition, she was a WPBL All-Star, leading the Nebraska Wranglers to the championship of the Women’s Professional Basketball League in 1981. She has served as a player representative on the USA BASKETBALL council and was a member of the USOC Advisory Council for Basketball. In recognition of being a former Olympian, Warlick earned the distinct honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville as it made its way to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to joining the Tennessee staff for the 1985-86 season, Warlick gained experience at two other stops on the coaching circuit. She was an assistant at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 1983-85 at Nebraska. A native of Knoxville, Warlick earned her B.S. in marketing from Tennessee in 1981 and her master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1983. Warlick added “biker” to her vitae in 2001. To commemorate her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a number of Warlick’s friends got together and presented her with a Harley-Davidson “Sportster” motorcycle. Just six years later, Warlick already was using her love of the bike towards a greater cause, establishing the Champions For A Cause Foundation with Caldwell.
