GAME 13 SET-UP  #8/9 Tennessee (10-2) opens Southeastern Conference play at home on Friday at 9 p.m. ET, as the Missouri Tigers (10-3) come to Thompson-Boling Arena.  For the fourth game in a row, the Lady Vols will appear on the SEC Network, with Paul Sunderland and Carolyn Peck in Knoxville 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.  The Lady Vols enter on the heels of backto-back wins over #7/7 Stanford (59-40) on Dec. 20 and #10/12 Oregon State (74-63) on Dec. 28, marking UT’s first consecutive wins over top-10 opponents since toppling #6/5 LSU and #4/4 Stanford at the 2008 NCAA Final Four in Tampa.  This will mark the end of a four-game home stand for Tennessee, with the Lady Vols putting a six-game winning streak on the line against Mizzou.  UT also enters with a 12-game home court win streak, which began against Auburn on Feb. 20, 2014, and includes a 4-0 stretch last season and an 8-0 mark at T-BA in 2014-15.  Mizzou comes to town after having its five-game winning streak halted Tuesday night in Kansas City, as former Lady Vol Kellie Jolly Harper’s Missouri State Bears upended the Tigers, 57-52, at the Sprint Center.  While Tennessee is 8-0 at home this season, Missouri has a 1-1 mark in true road games, winning at Wake Forest (79-64) on Dec. 20 and falling at Bradley (76-64) on Dec. 6. The Tigers are 1-2 at neutral sites.  This will mark the seventh overall meeting between these programs, with Tennessee holding a 5-1 advantage, including a 2-1 mark since the Tigers joined the SEC in 2012-13.

OPENING ACT  Tennessee is 26-6 all-time in Southeastern Conference openers since league standings were begun in 1982-83.  The Lady Vols are 13-3 all-time in SEC openers played at home and 13-3 in league lid-lifters played on the road.  UT is 29-3 in the initial SEC home games of each season.  A year ago, (then) #5/5 UT saw a 16game SEC opening game victory streak come to an end at the hands of #16/16 LSU on Jan. 2, 80-77, on the day Candace Parker’s banner of honor was lifted to the rafters.  The Lady Vols had won nine SEC home openers in a row until last season’s setback.
