GAME 21 SET-UP  #6/6 Tennessee (17-3, 7-0 SEC) hits the road for a weeknight match-up on Thursday, as the Lady Vols face #10/10 Kentucky (164/5-2) in a 7 p.m. ET contest at Memorial Coliseum in Lexington.  The meeting is the 61st between the schools and is a rematch of the 2014 SEC Tournament championship game, which UT won, 71-70, in Duluth, Ga.  In the #10/10 Wildcats, Tennessee is facing its sixth top-10 opponent this season and its eighth overall game vs. a ranked school.  The Lady Vols are 3-2 vs. top-10 teams this season and 5-2 vs. all ranked foes.  In road games, the Big Orange women stand 5-3 overall and 3-0 vs. SEC teams.  Tennessee will put a league-best 14game winning streak against SEC foes on the line. That spree began vs. Auburn (W, 93-63) in Knoxville on Feb. 20, 2014.  UT’s leading-scorer Isabelle Harrison will enter the contest just three points shy of becoming the 39th player in program history to score 1,000 points.  The game will be televised by the SEC Network, with Paul Sunderland and Carolyn Peck on hand to call the action.  The contest also can be seen online via WatchESPN. A “Watch Live” link can be found on the Lady Vol Hoops Central page on UTSports.com.  Mickey Dearstone’s Lady Vol Network call can be heard on the radio on network stations statewide in Tennessee and via audio stream worldwide on UTSports.com.  Tennessee won its 16th-straight home game and 14th-consecutive match-up with an SEC foe on Sunday, taking down #22/19 Georgia, 59-51, in Knoxville in front of a season-best crowd of 13,428.  With that triumph, UT’s senior class of Cierra Burdick, Isabelle Harrison and Ariel Massengale collected the 100th victory of their careers at Rocky Top. They are 100-26.  It was a sophomore who led Tennessee vs. UGA on Sunday, though, as Jordan Reynolds filled the net with a career-high 15 points to set the tone.  Kentucky, which has dropped two of its past four games, enters Thursday night’s contest on the heels of an 83-69 victory at Missouri on Sunday.  Jennifer O’Neill came off the bench to lead five Wildcats in double figures with 19 points, as UK overcame a barrage of 13 made threes by Mizzou in Columbia.  Like Tennessee (12-0), Kentucky is unbeaten on its home floor this season at 10-0, including 3-0 in league play.  The Lady Vols will be trying to halt a twogame losing skid in Lexington and win there for the first time since Feb. 7, 2011 (73-67).
