GAME 17 SET-UP  The #12/10 Lady Vols (13-3/2-2 SEC) play their second-straight road game, making their way to Starkville to take on Mississippi State (14-3/1-2 SEC) Thursday in an 8 p.m. CT/9 p.m. ET contest at Humphrey Coliseum.  CSS will have the telecast, with Bernie Guenther and Joe Ciampi calling the action. The game also will be available via live stream on ESPN3.  Tennessee rolls into “The Hump” looking to bounce back following a disappointing 74-63 loss at unranked Vanderbilt on Sunday that left the squad 3-3 in its past six contests.  Mississippi State, meanwhile, enters on the heels of charting its first SEC win of the campaign, a 54-50 victory over Arkansas in Fayetteville on Sunday.  The Bulldogs and Lady Vols haven’t played common SEC opponents yet, but UT has a 67-57 season-opening road victory over Middle Tennessee on Nov. 8 to its credit, while MSU fell to the Blue Raiders, 62-48, at the Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Fla., on Dec. 1.  The Lady Vols are 5-2 playing away from Thompson-Boling Arena this season, dropping games at #6/5 Stanford and Vanderbilt, while Mississippi State is 9-1 at Humphrey Coliseum, losing only to Auburn (82-74) on Jan. 5.

A WIN WOULD...  Push the Big Orange’s all-time SEC regular season record to 334-48 and its league ledger under Holly Warlick to 17-4.  Lift the program’s all-time record to 1,232-276 in its 69th season.  Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head coach to 41-11 overall and 17-8 away from home. She is 24-3 in Knoxville.  Raise the UT senior class record to 95-23.  Extend Tennessee’s win streak in the series with MSU to 35 in a row.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE  Junior center Isabelle Harrison hopes to start another double-double streak. Her last one ended at seven games due to foul trouble at Vanderbilt on Sunday.  Harrison picked up two fouls in the opening 59 seconds and spent the rest of the half on the bench.  She returned with a vengeance in the second frame, but only saw the court for nine minutes before fouling out with 10 points, five rebounds, a block and a steal vs. the Commodores.  Her absence proved costly for a Lady Vol squad that struggled to a season-low 63 points on offense and gave up layups and short jumpers in the paint in Vandy’s 45-point, 63-percent second-half shooting display.
