GAME SEVEN SET-UP Tennessee (6-0) will meet SMU (7-0) on Friday night in a battle of undefeated teams vying for the championship of the Lucaya Division at the 11th-annual Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas. Tip time is slated for 8 p.m. Eastern, and this will mark the first meeting between these two schools in women’s basketball. The Lady Vols advanced to the title game by defeating Virginia, 76-67, in game one of the Lucaya Division bracket on Thursday. The Mustangs, meanwhile, toppled Kansas State, 68-57, in the second game of the day to earn a date with the Big Orange. Games are being played at the St. George’s High School gymnasium, and there are no live stream and television broadcasts from the tournament. Mickey Dearstone’s call of the game can be heard on Lady Vol Radio Network stations, beginning at 7:30 p.m., and the broadcast also can be picked up via audio stream on UTSports.com. The Lady Vols are trying to win their first holiday tournament since capturing the 2005 Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands over Thanksgiving that season. The contest features a pair of 2013 conference champions, as the Lady Vols won the SEC crown, and SMU claimed the C-USA trophy in its final season in that league. The game will feature a matchup of playmakers UT’s Ariel Massengale and SMU’s Keena Mays. Massengale enters the contest averaging 6.8 assists per outing, while Mays checks in at 5.6 per game.

A WIN WOULD... Push UT’s season record to 7-0, marking the first time the Big Orange women have started in that fashion since 2009-10.
