GAME EIGHT SET-UP  #14/14 Tennessee (5-2) attempts to win its first road game of 2014-15 and extend its victory string to two games Sunday, as it travels to Nashville to face Lipscomb (2-5) in Allen Arena at 2 p.m. CT/3 p.m. ET.  The contest can be seen online via ESPN3, with Justin Seamon and Brittany Jackson providing the call. 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 and via audio stream worldwide on UTSports.com.  The Lady Vols are coming off a 111-44 domination of Saint Francis (Pa.) on Wednesday in Knoxville, running their home record to 5-0.  The victory helped Holly Warlick’s squad bounce back from the disappointment of consecutive road losses at Chattanooga (6367) and #6/9 Texas (59-72) on Nov. 26 and Nov. 30.  Lipscomb, meanwhile, is coming off an 80-60 road loss to Music City rival Belmont at the Curb Event Center.  The Lady Bisons fell to 1-3 away from home and are just 1-2 on Don Meyer Court at Allen Arena.  Tennessee is 1-1 this season against schools from the Volunteer State, having toppled Tennessee State (97-46) in Knoxville and dropped a 67-63 decision to the Lady Mocs in Chattanooga.  Sunday’s game is only the second in the UT-LU series, so it will mark Tennessee’s first visit to the Lipscomb campus for a women’s basketball game.

Overall: 1-0 Home: 1-0 Away: 0-0 Neutral: 0-0 NCAA Tourn.: 0-0 Overtime: 0-0 Win Streak: UT, one game

Last Meeting: In the teams’ first meeting, UT raced to a 110-42 victory over Lipscomb in Knoxville on Dec. 29, 2013. All-Time Record: 1,252-281 in 70th season
