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.
