GAME SEVEN SET-UP After a two-game road swing, #14/14 Tennessee (4-2) is back at home Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET, as Saint Francis (Pa.) comes calling at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols face the winless Red Flash (0-4) and will be looking to halt their own two-game losing skid that occurred away from the friendly confines of T-BA. UT has dropped consecutive games at unranked Chattanooga (63-67) on Nov. 26 and at #6/9 Texas (59-72) on Nov. 30 and fell out of the top five in both polls after previously being ranked #4/5. The Lady Vols have traditionally been extremely difficult to beat at home, and they bring an eight-game home winning streak into the match-up with SFU. Wednesday night’s game will not be televised, but the SEC Network+ broadcast will be streamed live with Bob Kesling and former Lady Vol standout Brittany Jackson calling the action and Dani Klupenger reporting from the sideline. 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. Saint Francis is coming off its fourthstraight loss to open the season, falling 8774 at home vs. Canisius (1-3) to close out a three-game home stand. Two games ago, SFU hosted another team from the Volunteer State, as East Tennessee State ventured to Loretto, Pa., to defeat the Red Flash, 79-63. The first contest on the 2014-15 Saint Francis schedule draws attention, as Ohio State managed only a 113-97 win over the Northeast Conference school. This marks Tennessee’s first-ever meeting vs. an NEC program. UT is back to two games per seven days after playing three contests last week.
WHAT’S THE PROMOTION? The matchup with Saint Francis will feature the Mission of Hope Toy Drive. Fans can donate a new toy or sports item (bat, ball, etc.) and receive a complimentary 300 level General Admission ticket. All donations will be given to the Mission of Hope. The game also is a Big Orange Ticket game. If UT wins the game, fans receive a ticket for the next home game. If UT continues to win, fans will continue to receive each subsequent game ticket until a loss. All subsequent tickets will be sent by email for printing at home. Seats for subsequent games will be allocated in 300 level, based on availability.
