GAME 10 SET-UP #11/13 Tennessee (7-2) is back in Knoxville for the first of four consecutive home games, as it faces Wichita State (6-2) in a 7 p.m. ET contest on Tuesday at ThompsonBoling Arena. The Lady Vols will make their SEC Network television debut, as Paul Sunderland and Nell Fortner 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. This marks the first meeting between these schools, but Lady Vol head coach Holly Warlick (as Pat Summitt’s assistant) helped coach both WSU head coach Jody Adams (1989-93) and assistant Bridgette Gordon (1985-89) during their playing careers at Tennessee. Tennessee went 2-0 on its two-game road swing to Lipscomb (85-51) on Dec. 7 and #17/19 Rutgers (55-45) on Dec. 14 to improve its mark away from Knoxville to 2-2. Thanks to those triumphs, the Lady Vols bring a three-game victory string into the contest vs. Wichita State. The Lady Vols overcame 27.5% shooting from the field by out-rebounding Rutgers, 54-42, and holding the Scarlet Knights to 31.1% shooting from the floor. Tennessee comes into Tuesday’s game with a 5-0 record at Thompson-Boling Arena this season and is in the midst of a nine-game home court winning streak. Wichita State comes into Tuesday’s contest on a four-game winning streak after edging Kansas State at home on Friday night, 51-48. During their current string of victories, WSU also defeated Arkansas-Pine Bluff (5526), Clemson (63-48) and Ohio State (7055). The CU and OSU wins came in the USVI Paradise Jam after an opening-game tourney loss to Florida Gulf Coast (56-39). While the Shockers have ventured outside of Wichita this season, they have played only one game on an opponent’s court, dropping an 86-58 decision at Eastern Washington on Nov. 18 to leave them 0-1 on the road.
A WIN WOULD... Lift the UT program’s all-time record to 1,255-281 in its 70th season. Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head coach to 64-16 overall and 37-5 in Knoxville She is 27-11 on the road. Raise the Tennessee seniors’ career record to 91-25.

BY THE NUMBERS

» Demonstrating Tennessee’s balanced offensive attack and overall depth, all 11 Lady Vols who’ve played this season average at least 5.0 points per game.
46.6
Improve UT to 1-0 vs. Wichita State and 7-0 vs. teams from the Missouri Valley Conference. Extend the Big Orange’s current win streak to four games and UT’s victory string at home to 10.
THE SERIES VS. WICHITA STATE This marks the first meeting between these schools in women’s basketball. Tennessee will return the favor and travel to Wichita next season to face the Shockers at Charles Koch Arena. The Lady Vols are 6-0 all-time vs. schools in the Missouri Valley Conference.
ABOUT THE SHOCKERS Tennessee alum Jody Adams is in her seventh season as head coach at Wichita State, posting a 124-80 mark at the school and a 148-88 career record that includes a 24-8 season at Murray State in 2007-08. Adams, who hails from Cleveland, Tenn., and Bradley Central High School, played point guard at Tennessee from 1989-93, starting two seasons and helping the Lady Vols win their third NCAA title during the 1990-91 season. Adams has joined Warlick on some of the UT coach’s “Champions For A Cause” motorcycle rides to raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. One of Adams’ staff members is fifthyear assistant coach Bridgette Gordon, who played at UT from 1985-89 and was the second Lady Vol to have a banner of honor hung in the rafters of Thompson-Boling Arena. She is one of only six players (plus Pat Summitt) to have that distinction. Gordon was a four-year starter, two-time NCAA champion (1987, 1989), two-time AllAmerican (1988 & 1989), Olympic Gold Medalist (1988), four-time All-SEC First Team selection and 1989 SEC Player of the Year. She
» Since allowing 72 points and losing (72-59) at Texas on Nov. 30, the Lady Vols have allowed an average of only 46.6 points to their last three opponents.
is UT’s number two all-time leading scorer with 2,462 points (18.0 avg.) and stands ninth in rebounds at 915 (6.7 avg.). Wichita State is the defending Missouri Valley Conference champion, posting a school-best 26-7 overall mark and going 14-4 in league play a year ago. WSU earned the program’s first-ever national ranking last season on Feb. 11, 2014, at No. 24 and had the best start in school history at 12-0. The Shockers were picked to repeat as the 2014-15 MVC champions. Senior guard/forward Alex Harden was the 2013-14 MVC Defensive Player of the Year and MVC Tournament MVP. Harden paces the Shockers at 15.8 points per game, but she has help from junior guard/forward Michaela Dapprich (14.1 ppg.) and senior guard Jamillah Bonner (12.1 ppg.). Bonner leads the team in rebounding from her guard spot at 6.6 per contest and was recently named to the USVI Paradise Jam All-Tournament Team. WSU is only averaging 59.0 points per game, while it allows 54.5. After facing Tennessee, Wichita State heads home to play five straight at Charles Koch Arena, including tilts vs. UL-Monroe on Dec. 19 and Winthrop (a team UT beat, 81-48 on Nov. 21) on Dec. 20 in the Shocker Winter Classic.
WSU’S MOST RECENT GAME Wichita State senior Alex Harden had 22 points, including the final five, as the Shockers (6-2) held on to beat Kansas State (6-1) 51-48 in front of 3,536 fans Friday night at Charles Koch Arena. With WSU up by as many as 13 with eight minutes remaining, K-State whittled away at the lead until back-to-back three-pointers by KSU’s Haley Texada tied the game at 46-all with two minutes remaining.
74.6
» Tennessee leads the SEC in free throw percentage at 74.6 percent and has hit 80 percent or better at the charity stripe in five of nine games thus far.
Harden had her second-straight 20-plus point game, finishing with a game-high 22 points, while Michaela Dapprich backed her with 14 points. Jamillah Bonner led on the glass for WSU with six rebounds. She also had three assists and two steals on her 22nd birthday.
UT NUMBERS TO NOTE Until Sunday’s 10-point win over #17/19 Rutgers, the Lady Vols had not won a game by fewer than 33 points this season. Tennessee shot 27.5% from the field vs. Rutgers on Sunday, marking the lowest field goal percentage in a win by the Lady Vols since April 1, 2007, when UT shot 27.0% in a 56-50 victory over #2 North Carolina in an NCAA Final Four Semifinal in Cleveland. Tennessee has all 11 active players averaging 5.0 or more points per game through nine contests. Tennessee’s bench has averaged 48.0 points over the last three games. Tennessee leads the SEC in free throw percentage at 74.6 percent and has hit 80 percent or better at the charity stripe in five of nine games thus far. Cierra Burdick has hit 17 of 19 free throws (89%) over the last three games. The Lady Vols have forced opponents to turn the ball over 20 or more times this season on five occasions, taking only eight games to match last year’s season total. Tennessee has had 12 double-doubles this season, led by five from Bashaara Graves, who had only three all last season. UT has done a better job on defending second-chance points its last three games, allowing only 11 total during that span while getting 56 on its end. Junior forward Jasmine Jones hit double digits in points for the fourth time in the last five games, knocking down 12 and grabbing six boards vs. Rutgers.

Tennessee is averaging 95.4 points in its five home games, all victories, and allowing only 45.8 ppg. By contrast, the Lady Vols have scored 65.5 ppg. on the road and allowed 58.8. The Big Orange women are hitting 47.2% from the field in games played at ThompsonBoling Arena and 36.1% in road contests. UT is 5-0 at home and 2-2 on the road.
TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY Thompson-Boling Arena and Knoxville have long had a reputation as a difficult place for visitors to win. The Lady Vols are 389-28 all-time at Thompson-Boling Arena in 28 years, ranking the venue No. 3 behind UConn’s Gampel Pavilion and Florida Gulf Coast’s Alico Arena, which opened in 2007, in win percentage. In all Knoxville venues, including Alumni Gym, Stokely Athletics Center and Thompson-Boling Arena, UT is a remarkable 542-52 over the past 41 years (since 1974-75).
2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
That ranks Knoxville as the toughest city in the nation to get an NCAA Division I women’s basketball victory. UT has won 12 or more games in the arena in each of its previous 27 years of existence and 14 on 19 occasions. Tennessee has posted 11 seasons with no losses in the facility. The Big Orange women are 42-0 at Thompson-Boling Arena during NCAA play, including 14-0 in the First Round, 22-0 in the Second Round, 3-0 in the Sweet 16 and 3-0 in the Elite 8.
NAME THAT LINEUP In nine games thus far, Holly Warlick has sent six different lineups out to the center circle for the opening tip. The change has been due to injuries to players and because of player punishments for team class attendance policy violations. A new lineup of Jasmine Jones, Bashaara Graves, Isabelle Harrison, Andraya Carter and Jordan Reynolds got the call vs. Rutgers and delivered a key road win on Sunday. It was Harrison’s first start of the season and fourth game overall after suffering a sprained right knee in the opener vs. Penn. Harrison responded with her second double-double of the season and 26th of her career, carding 11 points and 13 rebounds to help propel the Lady Vols to victory vs. the Scarlet Knights for the 10th straight time overall and third consecutive time in N.J. Bashaara Graves and Jordan Reynolds are the only players to start all nine games for Tennessee this season.
UT’S STATISTICAL LEADERS The Lady Vols rank No. 1 in the SEC and third nationally in turnover margin at 9.78. Tennessee ranks No. 4 in the country in offensive rebounds per game at 20.0. Tennessee stands No. 1 in the conference and No. 6 in the NCAA in scoring margin at 30.6. UT is No. 8 in steals per game at 13.6. In scoring, UT is No. 10 nationally in scoring defense (51.6) and No. 15 in scoring offense at 82.1. Andraya Carter (steals, 3.4), Ariel Massengale (3FG%, .462) and Nia Moore (blocks, 1.7) rank No. 1 in the league in those respective categories.
RUTGERS RESET Rutgers was averaging 77.8 points per game and shooting 47.6% from the field this season, but the Lady Vols limited the Scarlet Knights to 45 points and 31.1% shooting in a 55-45 UT victory on Sunday. The Lady Vols held Rutgers to only two points over the final 7:13 of the game while scoring 16 of their own. Another key component was Tennessee’s
rebounding advantage (54-42), especially in the second half, when the Lady Vols outrebounded Rutgers, 27-13 after being down two caroms (29-27) at the half. A big part of that was containing RU leader Betnijah Laney, who entered the game averaging 16.4 points and 13.7 rebounds and finished with four points and five rebounds (2-8 FG, 5 turnovers) in 32 minutes. Tennessee held Rutgers to a season-low point total of 45, which was 15 points below its previous low.
ABC’S ROBIN ROBERTS AT RU GAME ABC’s Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts made the trip down from New York City to watch the Tennessee-Rutgers game on Dec. 14. While Roberts has had a previous media presence and interest in women’s basketball, her attendance this time was more personal in nature. Roberts and several Good Morning America staffers and interns made the trip to Piscataway to see UT’s Cierra Burdick (a 2014 GMA summer intern) play, and they sat in the UT section behind the team bench. Roberts made a point to stay afterward and congratulate Burdick on UT’s victory.
HUGE WIN AT #17/19 RUTGERS No. 11/13 Tennessee used a 10-0 run late in the second half to grab a 55-45 win over No. 17/19 Rutgers on Sunday afternoon. Three Lady Vols finished in double figures as UT claimed its 10th consecutive victory over the Scarlet Knights. Ariel Massengale scored 13 points to lead UT (7-2), eight of which came in the second half, while Jasmine Jones finished with 12. Isabelle Harrison notched her second double-double of the season behind 11 points and a game-high 13 boards. Behind Massengale’s team-high 13, the Tennessee bench outscored its Rutgers counterpart by a 21-3 margin. With the win, UT cards its first road victory over a program ranked inside the Associated Press Top 25 since it defeated No. 12/11 North Carolina, 81-65, in Chapel Hill on Nov. 11, 2013. After a 6-0 run from Rutgers (8-2) to end the half sent Tennessee into the locker room trailing 23-20, UT battled back from its modest first half deficit, taking a 30-29 lead after Harrison capped a sequence of six consecutive points with a layup inside off a feed from Bashaara Graves. Not long thereafter, Massengale got in on the act with back-to-back made jumpers to give UT a 34-31 advantage with 12:57 still showing on the clock. The second-half momentum appeared to be favoring the Lady Vols, but an 8-1 run
2014-15 LADY VOLS WEEK-BY-WEEK AT A GLANCE
from the Scarlet Knights restored the lead to the home team by a 39-35 count at the 9:00 mark. A jumper from Jones and a pair of freebies from Graves over the next two possessions promptly tied the score, but Rutgers again answered with four unanswered to stay in front as the clock dipped below seven minutes. From that point on, however, UT closed the game on a 16-2 run to seal it.
NEXT UP FOR TENNESSEE Following Tuesday night’s game vs. Wichita State, UT closes out the first semester with a 1 p.m. showdown in Knoxville with #7/7 Stanford on Dec. 20. The game will be carried live by the SEC Network.
IT’S NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS Against former Lady Vols as head coaches, Warlick is 4-1, including 3-1 vs. Nikki Caldwell (LSU) and 1-0 vs. Tonya Edwards (Alcorn State). Against teams with former UT staff members coaching, Warlick is 8-3, including 1-2 vs. Kentucky (Matthew Mitchell), 2-0 vs. Lipscomb (Greg Brown), 3-1 vs. LSU (Nikki Caldwell, Tasha Butts) and 2-0 vs. North Carolina (Sylvia Hatchell).

IZZY IS BACK Tennessee’s preseason All-American and team leader Isabelle Harrison suffered a right
leg injury with 3:26 remaining in the season opener vs. Penn and had to be helped from the floor. She was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in her right knee and missed five games before returning to action vs. Saint Francis. Harrison came off the bench and played 13 minutes vs. Saint Francis on Dec. 3, scoring five points, grabbing seven rebounds and adding a steal in her first game back. In addition to her productivity, her return provides Tennessee with a huge lift from an emotional and leadership standpoint. In game two back in the lineup, Harrison was UT’s co-leader in points with 16 on 6-of10 shooting vs. Lipscomb, and added six rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes off the bench. Harrison resumed double-double status in her third game back from injury, scoring 11 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in 23 minutes as the Lady Vols knocked off #17/19 Rutgers on the road. Saddled by foul trouble, Harrison only played five first-half minutes vs. Rutgers and had 0 points and three rebounds at the break. She had 11 points and 10 rebounds in the second half to spur UT’s come-from-behind win and 16-2 surge over the final seven minutes of the game.
ESPN “NEED TO KNOW” PLAYER Isabelle Harrison had a breakout junior year, earning All-SEC First Team and SEC Tournament MVP honors as well as thirdteam Full Court All-America and honorable mention All-America from AP and the WBCA. For those and a few other reason, ESPN tabbed Harrison as one of its “Need To Know” players this season. Harrison ranked first in the SEC in field goal percentage (57.7%) and double-doubles (18), second in rebound average (9.3) and 18th in scoring average (13.6). She set a Tennessee junior record with those 18 double-doubles, passing the previous record holder, Chamique Holdsclaw, who had 16 in 1997-98. Only Candace Parker had more doubledoubles in a season for UT, tallying 21 as a sophomore in 2006-07. From Dec. 14, 2014 to Jan. 9, 2014, Harrison posted seven-straight games with double-doubles, setting a Lady Vol program record for consecutive double-doubles. She scored in double figures in 31 of 35 contests, including 20 games in a row from Nov. 29-Feb. 20. She racked up 20 contests with 10 or more rebounds. Earned SEC Tournament MVP honors after leading UT to its 17th postseason league title, averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in the tourney.
BASH, IZZY ON THREE WATCH LISTS Senior center Isabelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves have been named to preseason watch lists for national awards. On Nov. 24, Harrison and Graves were named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top 30. On Nov. 25, both players were named to the “Wade Watch” list for the Wade Trophy. On Dec. 10, both were included in the Naismith Trophy Women’s 50 Watch List. Graves was on all three lists last season, while Harrison is a first-time member of those groups.
HERE COMES THE RUN Tennessee’s ball pressure, up-tempo pace and three-point shooting abilities sparked runs that broke open their first four games. The Chattanooga and Texas games, Tennessee was kept in check and couldn’t string together points as it would have liked. In nine games, though, the Lady Vols have made 16 runs of 10-0 or longer this season, including unchecked sprees of 26, 22, 19, and 17 points. The Lady Vols trailed Lipscomb, 3-2, with 17:21 remaining in the opening half before bursting to a 26-0 spree that put them up 28-3 with 8:09 to go in the half. The Lady Vols 43-39 with 7:13 to go in the game vs. Rutgers, when UT scored 10 straight points and finished the game on a 16-2 run to close out a 55-45 road victory. Tennessee trailed by eight points (15:44/1st) to Tennessee State before reeling off 22-straight points to flip the script. All told, the Lady Vols had runs of 22-0, 19-0, 11-0 and 10-0 vs. the Lady Tigers. UT had a 14-0 blast, a pair 10-0 sprees and other smaller offensives in the opener vs. Penn. The 14-0 run helped the Lady Vols overcome a three-point deficit to Penn with 11 minutes to go in the first half and race to a 97-52 win. UT began the ORU game with a 10-0 run and added two more 10-0 blitzkriegs and another 9-0 spree. Leading 10-7 vs. Winthrop, Tennessee’s 17-0 run broke the game open, thanks to Ariel Massengale’s trio of three-pointers during that outburst. The Lady Vols had runs of 11-0, 10-0 and 11-0 vs. Saint Francis.
LEADS, DEFICITS, COMEBACKS Tennessee has two wire-to-wire wins (ORU, SFU) and has trailed in seven of its nine games this season. UT has led at halftime six times with its largest margin being 32 (53-21) over SFU. The Lady Vols have trailed at the half three times (UTC, TEX, RUT), with the largest halftime deficit being 16 vs. UTC. Tennessee’s largest first-half deficit of the season was 17 vs. Chattanooga, and the Lady Vols erased that entire deficit (4:31/2nd/57all) and tied it three more times before falling 63-67. The largest second-half deficit was 16 to Chattanooga, and the Lady Vols lost after tying the game four times. Tennessee has led at the half by doubledigits six times, been behind three times and tied on zero occasions. The Lady Vols have trailed at the half by double-digits twice, but haven’t lost by single digits or been tied. The biggest deficit (23) and halftime deficit (20) ever overcome for a victory at Tennessee were vs. Rutgers (55-51) on Jan. 3, 2009. The biggest deficit overcome for a winduring the Holly Warlick era was 15 in the first half vs. both Alabama (Feb. 2, 2014) and LSU (March 7, 2014) during the 2013-14 season. The biggest halftime deficit overcome (12) during the Warlick era was against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 8, 2013. The largest second-half deficit overcome with Warlick as coach was at Auburn on Jan. 17, 2013, when UT was down 12 with 14:29 remaining in the game. The largest positive turnaround (31

points) of the Warlick era occured when Alabama led Tennessee by 15 in the first half and then trailed UT by as many as 16 in the second half en route to a 10-point UT win. The largest negative turnaround game under Warlick occurred vs. #2/2 Notre Dame on Jan. 20, 2014 (29), when UT led by 12 in the first half and trailed by as many as 17 in the second half on its way to a 16-point loss. Tennessee’s largest margin of victory under Holly Warlick was 68 (110-42) vs. Lipscomb on Dec. 29, 2013. UT’s highest point total scored was 111 vs. Saint Francis on Dec. 3, 2014, and that 67-point margin of victory is second most. Tennessee’s largest margin of defeat during the Warlick era was 23 at #3/3 Baylor (53-76) on Dec. 18, 2012. That game also produced the worst halftime deficit in school history (25) and the lowest point total under Warlick (53).
A VERY PRODUCTIVE BENCH Tennessee is moving toward having its full complement of players on the roster (12), but it hasn’t done badly with the number of reserves available being limited. The Lady Vols are outscoring opposing benches, 336 to 114 (37.3-12.67). When Izzy Harrison returned from an injury layoff vs. Saint Francis, Tennessee had six reserves for the first time in 2014-15. That group (all of them played) produced its best effort of the season, outscoring the Red Flash 65-2. Tennessee had a five-player bench for the first time this season vs. Chattanooga (four played/Kortney Dunbar did not) and scored 35 points. Jasmine Jones led the way with a career-best 19 in reserve, and Ariel Massengale added 11. UT had a four-player bench vs. Tennessee State and Winthrop and three reserves vs. ORU and Penn. Despite having only three players available off the bench, Tennessee outscored Penn’s nine reserves, 37-13, in the opener. Kortney Dunbar (15), Isabelle Harrison (12) and Jaime Nared (10) combined for that
total, with Harrison adding 10 rebounds for her 25th career double-double. Tennessee was without Cierra Burdick, Andraya Carter, Ariel Massengale and Jannah Tucker vs. Penn and Carson-Newman (exhibition) due to violations of team rules that head coach Holly Warlick announced on Weds., Nov. 5 and clarified postgame of the exhibition vs. C-N on Nov. 9. Carter and Massengale returned to action vs. Oral Roberts on Nov. 17, but Isabelle Harrison and Jasmine Jones missed the contest due to injuries, while Cierra Burdick sat out her final game of suspension. That meant Warlick again had a bench of only three players vs. ORU, but the reserves outscored the Golden Eagles’ bench, 39-13. Ariel Massengale had 21 points, while Kortney Dunbar added 10 and Andraya Carter eight for UT’s subs vs. ORU. With Cierra Burdick’s return vs. Winthrop, Tennessee had four reserves and outscored the Eagles, 32-12, to up their season total to 108-38. The Lady Vols had a 33-17 bench points edge vs. Tennessee State. Jannah Tucker, who has worked her way back from an offseason procedure on her left knee, has been cleared medically to return to competition in games but is missing an undetermined number of games for disclipinary reasons. Diamond DeShields and Mercedes Russell are redshirting, leaving Holly Warlick with a roster of 12 when all are healthy.
FOUR SEEK 1,000-POINT MILESTONE Bashaara Graves (891), Isabelle Harrison (859), Ariel Massengale (855) and Cierra Burdick (754) are trying to reach the 1,000-point plateau in their college careeers. Tennessee has had 38 players score 1,000 points, but it has never before had four do so in the same season. There have been nine occasions where Tennessee has had three players with 1,000 points on the same team. The last trio to do that came in 2010-

LOOK WHO’S MOVING UP THE CHARTS Three Lady Vols have 500+ rebounds, including Harrison (633), Graves (591) and Burdick (582), and it takes 811 or more to break into the all-time UT leaders club. On the Tennessee career double-doubles list, Harrison ranks eighth with 26, while Bashaara Graves (18) and Cierra Burdick (14) stand No. 16 and No. 23, respectively. Massengale is attempting to become only the second Lady Vol to lead the team in assists four straight seasons. Dawn Marsh (1984-88) is the only one to do it. On the career free throw percentage list, Massengale entered the year No. 10 at .796. Harrison is ranked 10th in career blocks with 109 and is No. 7 on the career block average chart at 1.15. Graves began the year ranked No. 10 on UT’s career rebound average list at 7.4 per contest.

HIGH-SCORING LADY VOLS The Lady Vols enter the Wichita State game averaging 82.1 points per game to only 51.6 for their opponents. Their point total of 111 vs. Saint Francis on Dec. 3 was the most since UThad 136 vs. Puerto Rico-Mayguez on Nov. 29, 2002. The team’s scoring margin stood at 91.5 to 46.2 prior to the game vs. Chattanooga, when the Lady Mocs slowed it down to their tempo in a 67-63 upset win over Tennessee. Texas followed with a 72-59 triumph. Still, Tennessee opened 2014-15 with consecutive 90+ scoring efforts, tallying 97 vs. Penn and 91 vs. Oral Roberts before making it to 81 vs. Winthrop and then bouncing back to 97 vs. Tennessee State. It marked the first time during the Holly Warlick era that her club scored 90 or more points on multiple occasions in the first four games. The only previous 90+ game came against Rice (105) on Nov. 15, 2012. The 2001-02 Lady Vols scored 97, 106, 90 and 88 in wins vs. Chattanooga, USC, Louisi-
ana Tech and George Washington that season to post the No. 1 scoring total for the first four games (381). Tennessee scored 366 points in its first four games of 2014-15.
TAKING CARE OF THE BALL Tennessee is ranked first in turnover margin (9.8) in the SEC and No. 3 in the nation. The Lady Vols have committed only 119 turnovers through nine games. Last year at this time UT had lost the ball 161 times. They have 149 assists vs. 119 turnovers. UT had eight turnovers in the opener vs. Penn and followed with 13 vs. ORU, 15 against Winthrop and 14 vs. Tennessee State and Chattanooga, and 12 vs. Texas before surrendering a season-high 17 vs. SFU. Only one time all last season did Tennessee have a single-digit turnover total in a game, and that came on March 2, 2014, in a home win over South Carolina (73-61) when UT had only seven on senior day. UT’s freshmen, Kortney Dunbar, Alexa Middleton and Jaime Nared, combined for 0 turnovers in their first regular season game. Junior center Nia Moore had zero miscues in 31 minutes of duty vs. Penn. In 33 minutes, point guard Jordan Reynolds committed two turnovers while dishing out five assists, grabbing eight rebounds and tallying three steals vs. Penn. Reynolds, who had 0 points vs. Penn, drew praise from the coaching staff for not letting her scoring production, or lack thereof, affect the rest of her game.
UT FORCING 23 TOS PER GAME Tennessee has forced 207 turnovers in its first nine games, causing opponents to average 23.0 miscues per contest. The Lady Vols posted a program first on Nov. 24 vs. Tennessee State, causing their third consecutive opponent to commit 30 or more turnovers. The TSU Lady Tigers finished with 38 turnovers, following a 34-turnover effort by Winthrop and 30 miscues by Oral Roberts. With the back-to-back 30s from ORU and Winthrop, it marked the first time since 2006-07 Tennessee had forced 30 or more turnovers in back-to-back games. UT last accomplished consecutive games of forcing 30 turnovers vs. Alabama (30) on Jan. 28, 2007, and South Carolina (34) on Feb. 1, 2007. A year ago at this time, Lady Vols’ opponents had committed only 110 total TOs for an average of 18.4 per contest. Chattanooga committed only 17 turnovers in its upset win over Tennessee, while Texas had 12. UT harrassed Saint Francis and Lipscomb into 21 and 24 miscues on Dec. 3 and Dec. 7, marking the fourth and fifth times this season an opponent had more than 20 TOs.
ACTIVE HANDS ON DEFENSE Tennessee is averaging 13.6 steals per game through the first nine contests, thanks to totals of 21 swipes against Oral Roberts, 19 vs. Winthrop and 21 vs. Tennessee State. Only four other times since 2000 had the Lady Vols registered 21 or more steals. UT had 23 vs. George Wash. (11/27/01). The Lady Vols also had 22 vs. La. Tech (11/28/06) and Alcorn State (11/25/12), and 21 vs. Chattanooga (11/11/07).
Andraya Carter is averaging 3.4 steals (27 total) per contest after posting highs of six vs. ORU and Winthrop. That leads the SEC and ranks No. 11 in the NCAA right now. Jordan Reynolds has 19 steals for a 2.1 average, including seven vs. ORU. Tennessee has a 122 to 52 advantage on steals against its opponents, leading to a 246-66 margin on points off turnovers. Many of those points are of the fast break variety, with Tennessee dominating its first nine opponents, 107-51, in that category. At this time a year ago, the Lady Vols had only 76 steals through the first nine games.
SHARING THE GLORY Through nine games, UT has 149 assists compared to only 86 for its opponents. The Lady Vols had 141 assists through nine games a year ago. Tennessee’s distribution waned in three of its road games, with UT dishing 19 total assists (nine vs. Chattanooga, a program-lowtying three vs. Texas and 7 vs. Rutgers). UT had at least 20 assists in each of its first four games, marking the first time the
Lady Vols had put together that many in a row since the 1987-88 season, when the Lady Vols had a streak of six from Jan. 11 to Jan. 27. They also had a run of five from Dec. 13 to Jan. 3 that season. UT’s streak of three in a row 20+ assist games was the first since the team had three straight 20-assist games vs. George Washington (23, 11/26/02), Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (27, 11/29/02) and Army (21, 11/30/02). There were two other instances of four or more straight 20-assist games for the Lady Vols, and those were five-game runs from Dec. 9, 1985, to Jan. 4, 1986, and Feb. 6, 1981, to Feb. 21, 1981. Jordan Reynolds and Alexa Middleton are pacing the Big Orange with assists averages of 3.1 and 2.7, respectively. Middleton recorded 11 assists in her first game, the most ever by a Lady Vol in her freshman debut.

doubles in five of nine games thus far. That total surpasses her tally of three for her entire sophomore season in 2013-14. Graves had 10 double-doubles her first season at UT en route to SEC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-SEC honors. Her career total now equals 18, ranking her 16th all-time at UT though she’s a junior. Graves posted exactly 10 rebounds vs. four opponents and scored 16, 12, 15 and 15, respectively, vs. Penn, ORU, Winthrop and Texas. Currently, Graves is UT’s second-leading scorer (11.6) and rebounder (8.0). Graves is fifth in the SEC for rebounds per game (8.0), is second for offensive rebounds per contest (4.3) and stands No. 18 in scoring (11.6).
DOUBLE-DOUBLE TIME Tennessee set a program record in the opener vs Penn, with four Lady Vols recording double-doubles in a game for the first time in school history. Nia Moore had career highs of 24 points and 14 rebounds to card her second career double-double. Alexa Middleton had 20 points and 11 assists to open her career with a doubledouble. Bashaara Graves posted 16 points and 10 rebounds for the (then) 14th double-double of her career. Isabelle Harrison came off the bench to round up 12 points and 10 boards and improve her No. 2 active SEC career total of double-doubles to 25 at that point. She added No. 26 vs. Rutgers. Graves added double-doubles vs. Oral Roberts (12 pts./10 rebs.), Winthrop (15 pts./10 rebs.), Texas (15 pts./10 rebs.) and Saint Francis (11 pts./11 rebs.). She now has and SEC-leading five this season and 18 in her Lady Vol career to rank 16th all-time at Tennessee. Moore produced a career-high 25 points and added 11 boards vs. Tennessee State. Cierra Burdick notched her first doubledouble of the season vs. Saint Francis (15 pts./10 rebs.) and added one vs. Lipscomb (16/10). She now has 14 for her career. UT has 12 total double-doubles.
SEEKING FREE THROW CONSISTENCY Tennessee was shooting 78.4% (76-97) from the free throw line as a team prior to
the Texas game. A 13-for-25 (52%) effort vs. the Longhorns cut into UT’s tally. UT bounced back by knocking down 28 of 38 vs. Saint Francis (74%) and 20 of 25 vs. Lipscomb (80%) to bump its season percentage to 74. The Big Orange women shot 80% vs. Rutgers (16-20) to elevate their season mark to 74.6%. The Lady Vols had shot 76% in every other game except the Winthrop contest (69%) until the Texas and SFU games. UT’s opponents are a cool 72 of 119 for 60.5% this season. UT was 12 of 14 vs. Penn, hit 10 of 12 against Oral Roberts and dipped to 11 of 16 vs. Winthrop before hitting 28 of 37 vs. TSU and 15 of 18 vs. Chattanooga. Jaime Nared stands at 82% (23-28), while Cierra Burdick has hit 77% (17-22) to pace UT.
LOOKING TO IMPROVE BOARD WORK Tennessee has out-rebounded seven of nine opponents, but the Lady Vols’ haven’t consistently displayed the dominance on the glass that is one of the program’s hallmarks. The Big Orange has a 11.4 rebounding margin, holding a 48.0 to 36.6 advantage. Texas had the edge vs. Tennessee, winning the chase for caroms, 39-38, but the Lady Vols bounced back to a 71-28 advantage vs. Saint Francis and a 43-35 edge vs. Lipscomb, followed by a defining 54-42 margin against #17/19 Rutgers. That rebound total vs. SFU tied for fourth-most in school history and was the most since UT posted 74 last season vs. Troy. UT out-boarded a much shorter UTC team only 35-30. The Lady Vols actually trailed in rebounds at the half, 19-12. UT has had some other games where it looked strong on the glass. Tennessee out-rebounded Penn, 60-30, in the opener and had a 27-12 advantage on the offensive glass. Tennessee only had three games all last season (Ga. Tech, 65; Troy, 74; Lipscomb, 61) where it had 60 or more boards. It now has two this season. The Lady Vols hauled down 27 offensive caroms vs. Penn and SFU, a total that was eclipsed only twice a year ago (Ga. Tech, 33; Troy, 32). Nia Moore (14), Isabelle Harrison (10) and Bashaara Graves (10) each pulled down double-digit rebound totals vs. Penn.
SUPPORTING LAUREN HILL Number 22. Only two players have ever had a Lady Vol game jersey with that number on it. After the jersey was retired on Feb. 18, 1980, no basketball player has had a No. 22 Tennessee jersey since then. There wasn’t supposed to be another one until Lauren Hill came along. Hill, a freshman basketball player at Mount St. Joseph University, joins third-year UT head coach Holly Warlick (1976-80) and Joy Scruggs (1971-75) as the only basketball players to possess a Tennessee uniform with double deuces. Hill’s inspirational story moved Warlick, Tennessee’s third-year head coach, and Michael Beaumont, the team’s director of operations, to find a way to show Tennessee’s admiration and support for Hill in any way they could. “We were all very touched and moved by Lauren’s story and her desire to play one more basketball game,” Warlick said. “We’ve talked a lot this preseason about being thankful for what we’ve been given and taking advantage of every day, because you never know what can happen. “Lauren’s attitude and fight and spirit embody exactly what we’ve been trying to convey, so we couldn’t help but connect and relate to her immediately. She’s one of us.” 2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
The Big Orange women then outrebounded Oral Roberts, 48-39, with Bashaara Graves notching 10 boards for the second straight contest. UT won the battle of the boards vs. Winthrop, as well, with Bashaara Graves and Cierra Burdick each registering 10 rebounds. Tennessee didn’t get the job done vs. Tennessee State, allowing the smaller Lady Tigers to take the rebounding battle, 42-37. That board deficit to TSU was the Lady Vols’ first of the season, followed by one vs. Texas. The Big Orange were out-rebounded only three times (Stanford, Arkansas, Maryland) all last season.
ARIEL RETURNS After missing the exhibition game and season opener due to a team rule violation (missed a class), and sitting out the final 16 games of the 2013-14 season due to injury, senior Ariel Massengale picked right up where she left off last season, and then some. Massengale hit eight of 12 shots from the field and was 4-of-4 from the free throw line to pace UT with 21 points vs. Oral Roberts. She also added three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. She followed that by hitting a career-high six threes, including five in quick succession, and finishing with 20 points vs. Winthrop. She now has two 20-plus point efforts this season and five for her career. Massengale has a 45.9 field goal percentage (34-74), including 18 of 39 on threes for 46.2%, and is first on the team in scoring average at 12.0. Massengale came off the bench to led UT in scoring for the third time this season, charting 13 and grabbing five rebounds vs. Rutgers. Over the first 19 games last year, Massengale averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 assists per game and had three games of scoring 20 or more points, making the all-tournament team at the Junkanoo Jam tourney in the Bahamas.
JJ FINDS OFFENSIVE FLOW Jasmine Jones suffered a mild concussion in the first half of the opener vs. Penn and played only seven minutes. After missing the next three games, Jones returned to action off the bench vs. Chattanooga and propelled a furious second-half UT comeback. The 6-2 junior forward connected for a career-high 19 points, with 16 of them coming in the second half as UT erased a 16-point halftime deficit before falling in the end, 6763. Jones also had seven rebounds in 28 minutes. She followed that effort with 10 points and three boards in 25 minutes vs. Texas, marking the first time in her college career she hit double figures in back-to-back games. She made it three double-digit scoring efforts in a row, hitting for 16 points and adding eight rebounds vs. Saint Francis. Jones hit double digits in points for the fourth time in 2014-15 with 12 and added six boards in the win over Rutgers. The junior is one of five Lady Vols scoring in double figures, averaging 10.7 per contest.

ing, UT has had all three rookies hit long balls and Ariel Massengale got into the act in a big way vs. Winthrop. Massengale hit six threes vs. Winthrop, including five straight at one point. Ariel Massengale is 18-of-39 and Kortney Dunbar is 10-of-25 to lead Tennessee so far in 2014-15. The Lady Vols are 42 of 134 (31.3%) on treys through nine games this season, with eight different players hitting at least one from long range.
20-POINT UT FRESHMEN Alexa Middleton (20 vs. Penn) and Jaime Nared (20 vs. Saint Francis) each have had 20-point games this season, marking the first time UT had has a pair of 20-point freshmen scorers in the same season since 2008-09 when Shekinna Stricklen (4 times) and Glory Johnson (once) met or surpassed that point total. Middleton and Nared are the only the third rookie duo at UT since 2000 and sixth duo or trio since 1981-82 to net 20 points in a single game. Besides Johnson and Stricklen in 2008-09, Shyra Ely (three times) and Brittany Jackson (once) accomplished that feat in 2001-02. Others tandems since 1981-82 include Semeka Randall (12 times) and Tamika Catchings (18 times) in 1997-98; Peggy Evans (once) and Nikki Caldwell (once) in 1990-91; and Sheila Frost (2 times), Bridgette Gordon (9 times) and Melissa McCray (once) in 1985-86. Kortney Dunbar, UT’s third active rookie this season has a 15-point game to her credit and could eventually help her class become the second rookie trio to boast 20-point games along with the 1985-86 unit of Frost, Gordon and McCray. Middleton and Nared also are among only 12 Tennessee rookies since 1999-2000 to score 20 in their first season. The club also includes Bashaara Graves (2012-13, twice), Meighan Simmons (2010-11, 5 times), Glory Johnson (2008-09, once), Shekinna Stricklen (2008-09, 4 times), Angie Bjorklund (200708, 3 times), Candace Parker (2005-06, 10 times), Shanna Zolman (2002-03, once), Brittany Jackson (2001-02, once), Shyra Ely (2001-02, 3 times) and Kara Lawson (19992000, 6 times).
MOORE, MOORE, MOORE What a difference a year makes. UT's third-leading scorer is Nia Moore (11.3 ppg.), who averaged 2.3 as a sophomore last year. Moore scored in double figures in the first four games and is averaging 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.

Moore entered the season averaging 2.5 points and 2.0 rebounds for her career. She now has scored 102 points this season in nine games, which is nearly equal to her previous two-year combined total of 103 from her freshman and sophomore seasons. After scoring 29 points in the exhibition contest vs. Carson-Newman on Nov. 9, Moore appeared to be out to prove a point that her effort was no fluke. The 6-3 post connected on 12 of 18 shots to card a career- and game-high 24 points for the Lady Vols vs. Penn. Just for good measure, she rounded up career highs of 14 rebounds and four blocks and tied her career best with three assists. Moore’s points/rebounds double-double was one of a school-best four for UT vs. Penn. It also was the first time she led the squad in scoring in a regular season game and third time she paced UT on the boards. Moore’s previous regular season career bests were 12 points (Ole Miss, 2/10/13), 13 rebounds (Troy, 12/14/13), three blocks (Tenn. State, 12/17/13) and three assists (Troy, 12/14/13). Moore followed that Penn effort with 20 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 29 minutes vs. Oral Roberts. Moore had more field goals (27) in the first two games than she did in either her entire freshman or sophomore seasons when she had 19 each. After tossing in 14 points vs. Winthrop, Moore posted a career-high 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to secure her second double-double of the season vs. Tennessee State. After her numbers and playing time diminished at Chattanooga and Texas, Moore still has been accurate from the field, connecting on 44-of-75 attempts for 58.7%.
NUMBERS IN THE PAINT Tennessee is winning the points in the paint battle 382 to 202 over the first nine games, despite 6-3 Isabelle Harrison being out six games with an injury since the opener and 6-6 Mercedes Russell redshirting this season. Texas is the only team to out-point UT in the paint, winning that battle, 38-26, thanks to a terrific game from 6-5 Kelsey Lang (18 pts.) vs. the Lady Vols. Tennessee has gotten good production from its inside players, including 6-3 Isabelle Harrison (11.0 ppg., 9.0 rpg. - in four games), 6-2 Bashaara Graves (11.6 ppg., 8.0 rpg.) and 6-3 Nia Moore (11.3 ppg., 5.9 rpg.).
LADY VOL 20-20 CLUB Nia Moore is in some good company with her back-to-back 20+ point scoring efforts to open the campaign. Moore had 24 vs. Penn and 20 vs. Oral Roberts, becoming just the sixth Lady Vol to accomplish 20-point games in the first two games of the season. Only two Lady Vols have ever had more than two 20+ games to open a campaign, and they were Lady Vol legends Candace Parker (4) and Chamique Holdsclaw (3). Ariel Massengale notched back-to-back 20-point games after sitting out the first game of the season.

DON’T FOLLOW AN “L” WITH AN “L” Prior to dropping consecutive games vs. Chattanooga and #6/9 Texas, the Lady Vols had lost back-to-back games in a season only once during the Holly Warlick era, including setbacks to #3/3 Baylor on the road (76-53) on Dec. 18, 2012, and vs. #1/1 Stanford (7360) in Knoxville on Dec. 22, 2012. After beating Saint Francis on Dec. 3, Tennessee is 14-2 coming off losses under Holly Warlick, and is 2-0 coming off back-toback defeats. Consecutive losses also occurred under Pat Summitt during the 2011-12 season (once), 2008-09 (twice), 2005-06 (once), 1996-97 (three times), 1995-96 (once), 198990 (once), 1985-86 (once-three games in a row), 1984-85 (three times-one of them was three in a row), 1983-84 (twice), 1982-83 (once), 1981-82 (twice), 1980-81 (once), 197980 (once), 1978-79 (twice), 1977-78 (once) and 1976-77 (four times).
SENSATIONAL ROOKIE DEBUTS For only the second time in school history, three Lady Vol freshmen scored in double figures in the same game during their regular season debuts. Alexa Middleton tossed in 20 points, Kortney Dunbar scored 15 and Jaime Nared added 10 to accomplish the feat. The first trio to do it made it happen vs. East Carolina on Nov. 24, 1985, as Sheila Frost (16), Bridgette Gordon (13) and Melissa McCray (10) spurred #9/11 UT to a 74-56 victory in Knoxville.
2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
Frost, Gordon and McCray went on to lead UT to NCAA titles No. 1 and 2 in 1987 and 1989. Middleton also posted a single-game best for most assists in a Lady Vol debut, dishing out 11 to surpass the nine Jody Adams had as #1/1 Tennessee beat Stetson on Nov. 26, 1989, 112-39. That assist total ties for the second most ever by a freshman in any game. Ariel Massengale holds the record with 12 vs. Vanderbilt on Jan. 15, 2012. Massengale also had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 26, 2012, while Meighan Simmons had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. Middleton’s 20 points were the most in a rookie debut since Meighan Simmons came off the bench to score 22 for #4/4 Tennessee in a 63-50 win at Louisville on Nov. 12, 2012. Middleton is only the fifth Lady Vol rookie to score 20 or more points in her debut. With her points/assists double-double, Middleton became the seventh Lady Vol freshman and first rookie guard to post a double-double in her first game. The previous rookie debut double-double was Glory Johnson’s 17/12 effort vs. San Francisco in 2008. In addition to Middleton and Johnson, the other freshman debut double-doubles, all of them of the points/rebounds variety, were by Mary Ostrowski (15/10 vs. Alabama in 1980), Lisa Harrison (13/12 vs. Stetson in 1989), Tiffany Johnson (18/17 vs. La. Tech in 1994), Chamique Holdsclaw (13/10 vs. Virginia in 1995) and Candace Parker (19/10 vs. Stetson in 2005).
ROOKIE FIRST-GAME STARTS Alexa Middleton became the 18th freshman to start her first game as a Lady Vol. She did quite nicely, finishing with a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists to go along with six rebounds, three steals and zero turnovers in 32 minutes. Andraya Carter was the last rookie to draw a starting nod, reporting for the opening tip at Chattanooga in 2012. Senior Ariel Massengale also started her first game in 2011-12, as (then) head coach Pat Summitt predicted before Massengale arrived on campus. Massengale made her debut vs. Pepperdine in Knoxville in 2011, tallying two points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals. A year ago, Mercedes Russell had 11 points, seven rebounds, an assist, three blocks and a steal in UT’s opening-game win at Middle Tennessee. In 2012 Bashaara Graves came off the bench to score 14 points and haul down eight rebounds in UT’s opening-night setback at Chattanooga.
TUCKER EYES RETURN TO ACTION Big Orange Nation is excited, but no one is more anxious to return to the court this year than redshirt freshman Jannah Tucker. Tucker was the No. 8 ranked recruit in the 2013 espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, but her journey to playing at Tennessee was sidetracked by two unfortunate situations. First, she suffered an injury to her left knee while playing on the USA U18 squad at the 2012 FIBA Americas Championship. She sat out her senior year of high school rehabbing from that misfortune. Expected to begin attending school at UT during summer 2013, Tucker didn’t arrive
on campus until Jan. 2014. It was later learned her delay in coming to UT was the result of her being the victim of domestic violence. Tucker quickly fit in with her teammates and was an encourager on the bench for the squad in 2013-14. A procedure to clean up the knee occurred during summer 2014, and Tucker is progressing toward a return to the court in 2014-15, perhaps in the coming games.
NUMBERS GAME This marks the 70th season of Lady Vol basketball, as recognized by the NCAA. Minus departed senior guard Meighan Simmons and redshirting sophomore center Mercedes Russell, UT returns 70.7% of its points, 83.2% of its rebounds, 81.7% of its assists, 79.5% of its steals, 68.9% of its blocks and 76.2% of its turnovers from last season. Tennessee has 14 players on its roster, marking the most since having 15 in 200405. Twelve are active this season. UT has 10 players on its roster who stand 6-0 or taller, the most in school history. Eight of those six-footers are active this year. There are eight Lady Vols 6-2 or taller on the roster, also the most in school history. Seven of those players are active this season.
FIRST FOUR GAMES WERE AT HOME After hosting one exhibition game and four regular season games at home, Tennesee finally stepped away from ThompsonBoling Arena to play an opponent, and the result was a loss at Chattanooga. The Lady Vols then followed with a loss at Texas. This marks the first time since 2003-04 and only the second occasion since 197475 that the Lady Vols played their first four games at home to open a season. The 2003-04 season was the only other time the Lady Vols played their first four at home and won all of them. UT started the regular season with wins vs. Penn (W, 97-52 on Nov. 14), Oral Roberts (W, 91-39 on Nov. 17), Winthrop (W, 81-48 on Nov. 21) and Tennessee State (W, 97-46 on Nov. 24).

2014-15 LADY VOL BASKETBALL » UTSPORTS.COM » @LADYVOL_HOOPS
UT BEGAN AT NO. 4 IN RANKINGS Tennessee entered the season ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Polls, which came out on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, respectively. A year ago, UT also entered the campaign ranked fourth by AP and the coaches. Tennessee finished the 2013-14 campaign ranked fourth by AP and third by USA Today.
OTHER PRESEASON PREDICTIONS The Lady Vols were ranked fifth in the espnW.com preseason poll. UT was fifth in Lindy’s Sports Annuals Preseason Top 25. Graham Hays of espnW.com has the Big Orange at seventh. Athlon had Tennessee at No. 7, while The Sporting News ranked the Lady Vols No. 8.
KUDOS FOR HARRISON, GRAVES The five-player AP preseason All-America team was released on Nov. 4. While Isabelle Harrison wasn’t one of those five, she was among 12 other players who garnered votes for the team. espnW.com ranked its top 25 players in advance of the 2014-15 season, and Isabelle Harrison is the No. 9 ranked player. Harrison was an espnW preseason AllAmerica second team choice. Bashaara Graves was the No. 23 ranked player, according to espnW.com.
TENNESSEE NO. 2 IN SEC POLLS Tennessee was picked by both the media (Oct. 21) and coaches (Nov. 5) to finish second in the Southeastern Conference race behind South Carolina. USC won the SEC regular season trophy, and UT claimed the tourney title a year ago. Tennessee won the regular season finale over the Gamecocks last season in Knoxville, 73-61, on March 2. Texas A&M and Kentucky rounded out the top four in both preseason SEC polls.
PRESEASON SEC HONORS FOR TWO League coaches named senior center Isabelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves to the preseason All-SEC First Team. The media, which picks only a five-player preseason All-SEC Team, included Harrison in their all-star quintet.
THE LOGO REMAINS THE SAME UT announced a branding restructure on Nov. 10, and the decision will allow the Lady Volunteers to continue using their highlyrecognizable and successful brand. The restructure won’t take place until July 1, 2015, but the university and all other athletics teams at Tennessee, except for women’s basketball, will then utilize the “Power T” logo. The women’s basketball program was excluded from the transition because of the accomplishments and legacy of the championship program built by Coach Pat Summitt and her former players. “#OneTennessee has united all the athletic programs here at the University of Tennessee,” said head women’s basketball coach Holly Warlick. “The value of this bonding enriches the support we can offer to all student-athletes. We now have unlimited access to our tremendous facilities and programs that not only benefit our current
athletes while also promoting our pursuit of excellence to future prospects. “The advantage of a state-of-the-art training facility, our Smokey’s Grill dining facility, where athletes from every sport can eat together, and the modernized future athletic housing are just a few examples of how the One Tennessee premise confirms our high ideals. “The Lady Vol logo, however, has long been the monogram of excellence and a tradition among our loyal basketball fans. This is a symbol that is recognized and linked with a superior standard of women’s basketball worldwide. In the 38 years of Coach Summitt’s storied career, she established a tradition unlike any other in women’s basketball, and she did so under the banner of the Lady Vol logo. It is with deep respect for Coach Summitt and this great tradition that we will continue to wear the Lady Vol logo with great pride.”
NINE LETTERWINNERS RETURN Tennessee returns nine letterwinners, (eight active) including four starters, from last year’s team that went 29-6 overall and 13-3 in the Southeastern Conference, won an SEC tournament championship and made the NCAA Sweet 16. Isabelle Harrison, a 6-foot-3 senior center, is Tennessee’s top returning player and All-America candidate, having averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a junior with an SEC-leading 18 double-doubles. Also back are 6-2 junior forward Bashaara Graves (9.3 ppg., 6.8 rpg.), 6-2 senior forward Cierra Burdick (8.7 ppg., 7.3 rpg.) and 5-6 senior point guard Ariel Massengale (12.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.). Massengale started the first 19 games until a facial injury suffered vs. Florida ended her season. Andraya Carter, now a 5-9 redshirt sophomore, stepped in for Massengale and averaged 6.9 points and 2.3 assists per contest while starting 21 contests. Carter made the SEC All-Freshman Team last season, while Burdick was named to the 2014 SEC All-Tournament Team. Graves was SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC First Team in 2012-13. Jasmine Jones (4.8 ppg., 3.5 rpg.), a 6-2 junior forward returns as UT’s top defender and most athletic player, while 5-11 sophomore Jordan Reynolds (3.8 ppg., 1.9 rpg.) and 6-3 junior Nia Moore (2.3 ppg., 2.1 rpg.) offer experience at guard and center.
RUSSELL SITS, SIMMONS GRADUATES Of Tennessee’s nine returning letterwinners this season, one of them won’t be playing in 2014-15 as she redshirts to completely recover from off-season foot surgeries. Mercedes Russell (6.3 ppg., 5.0 rpg.), a 6-6 sophomore center, will sit out, leaving UT with eight active returning letterwinners but allowing the Oregonian three more years of eligibility at Tennessee. The Lady Vols lost only one player to graduation, but it was a key one in Meighan “Speedy” Simmons. Simmons concluded her career as Tennessee’s No. 5 all-time scorer with 2,064 points in 143 games. She is only the fifth player in school history to reach the 2,000-point plateau, join-
ing Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025, 1995-99), Bridgette Gordon (2,462, 1985-89), Candace Parker (2,137, 2005-08) and Tamika Catchings (2,113, 1997-2001). Simmons continued the program’s 100-percent graduation rate when she earned a B.A. in psychology in August 2014. Simmons averaged 16.5 points per game as a senior to rank No. 5 in the SEC. The 5-9 guard was named AP SEC Player of the Year and All-SEC First Team, and earned Full Court All-America Second Team as well as AP and WBCA Honorable Mention All-America distinction. Known for her three-point shooting prowess, Simmons finished with 255 threes in her career to rank No. 4 at UT and her 72 treys in 2013-14 stacked up No. 7.
SIXTH-RANKED FRESHMAN CLASS No. 6-rated Jaime Nared, a 6-2 guard/ forward from Portland, Ore./Westview H.S. is UT’s top-ranked signee and averaged 30.0 ppg. as a senior there. In-state product Alexa Middleton, ranked No. 28 by espnW HoopGurlz, is a 5-9 guard who led her Murfreesboro, Tenn./Riverdale H.S. squad to a pair of state titles. Three-point marksman Kortney Dunbar joins UT as the No. 78 signee. She drained 57 treys and averaged 16.8 ppg. and 9.7 rpg. as a senior at Edwardsville (Ill.) H.S. Nared and Middleton were 2014 McDonald’s High School All-Americans, with Nared leading the West to victory with 15 points. Middleton won the Powerade Jam Fest skills competition and three-point shootout in conjunction with the McDonald’s Game. She became the first McDonald’s AllAmerican to win two contests at the Powerade Jam Fest.
DESHIELDS TRANSFERS TO UT After previously announcing her departure from North Carolina, Diamond DeShields shared her decision to transfer to UT from UNC on June 12, 2014, and enrolled here for the second session of summer school. DeShields, a 6-0 sophomore guard from Norcross, Ga., will sit out this season at UT, per NCAA transfer rules. DeShields expressed interest in Tennessee coming out of high school but opted for UNC on signing day. The consensus national freshman of the year for the Tar Heels, DeShields averaged a team-leading 18.0 ppg., 5.4 rpg., 2.6 apg. and 1.7 spg. in 2013-14. She earned honorable mention All-America honors from AP and Full Court and was both All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman. She set four ACC freshman marks, including points (648), field goals (248), field goals attempted (582) and double-figure scoring games (32). DeShields’ mother, Tisha (Milligan) DeShields, was a track & field All-American at Tennessee (heptathlon) in 1991.
UT’S RECRUITING RANKINGS UT signed the No. 1 espnW HoopGurlz recruiting class in 2011, No. 5 in 2012, No. 3 in 2013 and No. 6 in 2014. The top-ranked 2011 group, this year’s seniors, included No. 3 Cierra Burdick, No. 4 Ariel Massengale and No. 29 Isabelle Harrison. The 2013 class included No. 1 Mercedes Russell, No. 8 Jannah Tucker and No. 42 Jor-
dan Reynolds, but they now can add that year’s No. 3 recruit, Diamond DeShields. The top signees from 2012 and 2014 are Bashaara Graves (No. 5) and Jaime Nared (No. 6), respectively.
EIGHT MCDONALD’S A-AS ON ROSTER Tennessee has eight McDonald’s AllAmericans on its roster, and six of those players are expected to see the floor this season. The eight players are Cierra Burdick, Diamond DeShields, Bashaara Graves, Ariel Massengale, Alexa Middleton, Jaime Nared, Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell. DeShields and Russell are redshirting. Russell was the 2013 McDonald’s Game MVP, leading the West to a win with 16 points. Nared led the West to a win in 2014 with 15 points but came up short in MVP voting. Tennessee now has had 26 McDonald’s All-Americans through the years.
LADY VOLS A POPULAR DRAW The Lady Vols will have 21 of 30 games, including 15 of 16 league tilts, scheduled for television this season. Tennessee will be featured 12 times on TV via the SEC Network, four times on ESPN2, twice each on ESPNU and Fox Sports Net, and once on Fox Sports 1. Twenty of those 21 contests also will be available via WatchESPN, with the Fox Sports 1 telecast being the only exception. Fifteen of 16 Big Orange SEC contests will be televised, with the Feb. 12 game at Ole Miss being the exception. The nine non-televised games will be broadcast online. Seven of those events will be carried by SEC Network +, and the others will be on GoMocs.com (Nov. 26 at Chattanooga) and on ESPN3 (Dec. 7 at Lipscomb). MORE GOLD FOR BURDICK Lady Vol senior Cierra Burdick earned her fourth gold medal with USA Basketball over the summer. Burdick joined Sara Hammond (Louisville), Jewell Loyd (Notre Dame) and Tiffany Mitchell (South Carolina) to capture the 2014 FIBA 3x3 World Championship in Moscow, Russia. The USA quartet qualified for the world tourney in May by winning at the 2014 USA Basketball Women’s 3x3 National Championship in Colorado Springs. Burdick also struck gold at the 2011 U19 World Championship, 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.
WE GO TO CLASS & GRADUATE Go to class, be on time and sit in the front three rows are three rules that are Tennessee staples. While some might consider those standards incredibly high, it certainly contributes to the Lady Vols having a 100 percent graduation rate for players who complete their eligibility at UT. It also helps explain why seven of 11 players on last year’s squad were members of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

LADY VOLS HAVE WON 34 TITLES Tennessee upped its total of combined SEC Championships to 34 in 2013-14, winning its 17th all-time SEC Tournament title in Duluth, Ga., 71-70, over Kentucky. The Lady Vols came from 10-down or more to win all three games during the 201314 league tourney. That postseason tournament victory came on the heels of Tennessee’s SEC regular-season title in 2012-13. The Lady Vols have won 17 SEC regularseason titles, including three of the past five. UT has 17 league tournament titles to its credit, including three straight from 2010-12. Since 1985, there have been only five seasons where Tennessee didn’t win at least a regular season or tournament title. Those were 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997 and 2009. The Lady Vols have swept SEC regularseason and tournament championships on eight occasions. Those years were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2010 and 2011. Tennessee stands first in regular season and tournament titles in conference history with Georgia ranking second with seven regular season trophies and Vanderbilt standing sixth in tourney hardware with six pieces.
17TH SEC POSTSEASON CROWN Sixth-ranked Tennessee captured its record 17th SEC Tournament title with a 71-70 victory over No. 12 Kentucky in Duluth, Ga., on March 9. UT had dropped a 75-71 decision to UK in Knoxville during the regular season and ended a two-game Wildcat winning streak. During the SEC tourney final, senior Meighan Simmons became the fifth Lady Vol to score 2,000 points in her career, tallying a team-high 17 to boost her past 2K. Junior center Isabelle Harrison added 16 points, and freshman guard Jordan Reynolds, who was clutch down the stretch, finished with 11 points to help UT prevail. Harrison was named SEC Tournament MVP, while Cierra Burdick added 10 boards in the final and joined her teammate on the all-tourney team. The No. 2 seed Lady Vols have won four of the last six SEC Tournament titles and seven of the past 10. For the ninth time, Tennessee finished the regular season in second place, and for the ninth time, the Lady Vols went on to win the SEC Tournament. Tennessee now is 17-5 in SEC Tournament championship games, winning seven consecutive title games it has played since 2005. The Lady Vols are 73-18 all-time in the SEC Tournament over its 35 years of existence, including an 18-2 mark since 2008.
SIMMONS TAKEN IN THIRD ROUND The New York Liberty snagged Tennessee’s Meighan Simmons with the the 26th overall selection of the WNBA Draft. Simmons, who lasted until the second pick of the third round, continued Tennessee’s rich history in the WNBA Draft, becoming the 38th player to join the league. She also became the second Lady Vol of the Holly Warlick era to have her name called on draft night, following in the footsteps of last year’s second-round pick, Kamiko Williams, who also was taken by New York.
SIMMONS WAS AP PLAYER OF THE YR. Meighan Simmons was named the 2014 Associated Press SEC Player of the Year. Simmons and Isabelle Harrison were selected to the Associated Press & Coaches AllSoutheastern Conference First Team. Redshirt freshman point guard Andraya Carter was selected to the Coaches SEC AllFreshman Team. Simmons was the coaches choice for SEC Co-Player of the Year in 2012-13, but 2013-14 was her first AP SEC Player of the Year honor. It marked the third all-league honor from the coaches and AP for Simmons, including first-team kudos for the second year in a row. Harrison and Carter garnered SEC honors for the first time in their careers. For her good work around town, junior forward Cierra Burdick was named to the SEC Community Service Team.
SIMMONS FINISHES FIFTH IN SCORING Meighan Simmons wrapped up her Lady Vol career on March 30, 2014, scoring 31 points vs. Maryland in her collegiate finale. That tally pushed her career total to 2,064, ranking her fifth in UT women’s basketball history. Simmons joined Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025), Bridgette Gordon (2,462), Candace Parker (2,137) and Tamika Catchings (2,113) as the only Tennessee women to eclipse the 2,000-point plateau in their college careers. Simmons started 127 of her 143 games as a Lady Vol, averaging 14.4 points per contest from 2010-14 to rank ninth in UT annals. Simmons scored in double figures 30 times as a senior and 109 times in her career.
THOMAS, UMD END UT’S SEASON No. 1 seed Tennessee’s season came to an abrupt halt with a 73-62 loss to fourth-seeded Maryland on March 30, 2014, in the Sweet 16 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. The Lady Vols finished 2013-14 with a 29-6 record, including a 13-3 SEC mark that left them second for the SEC regular season. Senior Meighan Simmons tallied 31 points in her final college game, while Jasmine Jones chipped in 11 as the only other Lady Vol in double figures.
LADY VOLS WIN JUNKANOO JAM Ariel Massengale paced No. 3/4 Tennessee with 16 points, and the Lady Vols used a big second half to crush SMU, 87-47, on Nov. 29 and win the Lucaya Division championship of the 11th-annual Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas. The win marked UT’s first holiday tournament title since winning the 2005 Paradise Jam during Thanksgiving break in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

HARRISON 2014 SEC TOURNEY MVP Junior center Isabelle Harrison was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team and SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 points and shooting 59.1% in UT’s three games. Harrison had double-doubles of 21/12 and 20/13 vs. LSU and Texas A&M in tourney play and tallied 16 points and five rebounds vs. Kentucky in the final. She hit 10 of 15 shots vs. LSU, nine of 17 vs. Texas A&M and seven of 12 vs. Kentucky. Tennessee has had 15 SEC Tournament MVPs through the years, with a Lady Vol winning four of the last five awards. Glory Johnson (2012), Shekinna Stricklen (2011) and Alyssia Brewer (2010) were the past three SEC Tournament MVPs from Tennessee prior to Harrison. Junior forward Cierra Burdick was chosen for the SEC All-Tournament Team, as well, after averaging 10.3 rebounds and 8.3 points over three games for the Lady Vols.
LADY VOL ACADEMIC ACCLAIM Seven of 11 players on the 2013-14 Lady Vol roster were recognized for their work in the classroom last season. Tennessee put five players on the 2014 SEC Academic Honor Roll, including Cierra Burdick, Bashaara Graves, Isabelle Harrison, Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter. Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell were named to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll. As of August 2014, Meighan Simmons and Isabelle Harrison completed their undergraduate degrees at Tennessee, becoming the 123rd and 124th Lady Vols to keep alive a 100-percent graduate rate among players who completed (or are in the process of completing) their eligibility at Tennessee.
HEAD COACH HOLLY WARLICK
THE WARLICK FILE Born: June 11, 1958 Education: Bearden High School (Knoxville, Tenn.),‘76 B.S., Tennessee, ‘81 M.S., Virginia Tech, ‘83 Playing Career: University of Tennessee (1976-80): three-time All-American, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, 1980 Olympic Team, first player at UT to have her jersey (#22) retired For more than three decades, Holly Warlick has been instrumental in the phenomenal success story that is Tennessee Lady Vols basketball. Her impact on the program stretches from her ground-breaking days as a three-time All-America point guard at UT (1976-80), to her 27 highlyproductive years as a loyal assistant for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt, to her ascension to the head coaching position at UT. Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart named Warlick head coach of the Lady Vols on April 18, 2012, as Summitt stepped into the role of head coach emeritus. In a touching and symbolic gesture the following day at a press conference announcing the changes, Summitt presented her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and former floor general. Warlick proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was up to the task with her debut effort in 2012-13. Despite having a young, inexperienced team that was picked to finish as low as fifth in the SEC and 20th nationally, the first-year head coach impressively directed her troops to a 27-8 overall record and a 14-2 mark in league play. That effort earned Tennessee its 17th all-time SEC regular season title, and it enabled a team that saw injuries force players to miss a combined total of 53 games to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the 26th time in school history. Improvement demonstrated by players not only translated into wins on the court, it also resulted in postseason attention. Meighan Simmons was named a thirdteam AP All-American, SEC Co-Player of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Bashaara Graves was chosen a Full Court Freshman All-American, SEC Freshman of the Year and first-team All-SEC. Kamiko Williams, meanwhile, was taken in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Warlick also was singled out for her performance, which included scoring a top-three recruiting class complete with the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in 6-foot-6 Mercedes Russell. The members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named her the Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year. She was selected by AP and league coaches as the SEC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, and members of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association also chose her as TSWA Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. In year two, Warlick directed the team to a 29-6 record and the program’s second SEC trophy in as many years with the capturing of the 2014 SEC Tournament. Among her top players were AP SEC Player of the Year Meighan Simmons, who was a third-round WNBA Draft pick of the New York Liberty, and Isabelle Harrison, a firstteam All-SEC choice and the SEC tourney’s MVP. Warlick and her staff also continued building for the future, landing the nation’s number six signing class in 2014. Anchoring that group are McDonald’s All-Americans Jaime Nared and Alexa Middleton, the nation’s No. 6 and No. 28 ranked players. After Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball as an assistant on Summitt’s staff for more than a quarter of a century, the pupil took on greater responsibility and oversaw daily supervision of the basketball office during the 2011-12 season. She also handled a large measure of the media obligations after Summitt’s Aug.
23, 2011, announcement regarding the diagnosis of earlyonset dementia, “Alzheimer’s type.” Providing an excellent example of how people rally around each other, the Tennessee staff members pulled together remarkably in the face of that adversity. The end result was a 27-9 overall record, a league-best 16th SEC Tournament Championship and advancement to the NCAA Regional Final. It’s worth noting that Warlick was by Summitt’s side, either as a player or an assistant, for 949 of the coach’s NCAA-record 1,098 wins and all eight NCAA National Championships. Her value to the program has been evident for some time, as she had held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also had recognized Warlick’s contributions to Tennessee’s success through the years, naming Warlick the nation’s top assistant coach after she helped lead UT to its seventh national title in 2007. The NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches also recognized Warlick as one of the nation’s top assistants in 1998, ranking her prominently in The Women’s Basketball Journal poll. In addition to the NCAA title and coaching honor in 2007, Warlick also teamed up for the first time with former fellow Lady Vol player and assistant Nikki Caldwell, the current head coach at LSU, to pursue her other passion. That pursuit is riding a motorcycle and raising money for the fight against breast cancer. Warlick and Caldwell created the Champions For A Cause Foundation, a long haul motorcycle ride dedicated to raising funds and awareness for a cure for breast cancer. The charitable organization has raised and donated more than $150,000. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips from the Badlands to Las Vegas and from Knoxville to Key West, Fla., New Orleans, Niagara Falls and, most recently in 2013 and 2014, Panama City, Fla. With all of her accomplishments in coaching and in her charitable endeavors it might be easy to overlook the fact that Warlick left just as powerful a mark on women’s hoops as a player at UT. It doesn’t seem that long ago that the charismatic Knoxville native was flying up and down the court as an All-America Lady Vol point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been considered the finest point guard ever to play for the Lady Vols. In addition to being selected to the CONVERSE/Lady Vol Team of the Decade for the 1980s in January of 1994, five different halls of fame opened their doors to her. On Feb. 27, 2004, she was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. In October 2002, she became a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame in the second class of inductees. In June 2001, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selected Warlick as one of 10 inductees enshrined into the Hall for the Class of 2001. For the hometown girl, who grew up in the Rocky Hill section of Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School, it was a dream-come-true. In the summer of 1994, Warlick gained admission to her first hall of fame. She was honored as one of the City of Knoxville’s finest all-time athletes with her inclusion in the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including the 2013-14 season, Warlick has invested 33 years in the program, having helped shape UT into a national powerhouse with tenure as both a player and a coach. Warlick’s expertise and major contributions to the team as an assistant came from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm All-America Team. Additionally, Warlick has been a highly-successful recruiter for the backcourt, attracting some of the nation’s finest players to UT to continue the excellence she helped establish as a player. The Lady Vols welcomed another top flight guard to the Orange and White for 2010-11 when she landed McDonald’s All-American Ariel Massengale. As a rookie in 2011-12, Massengale lived up to her billing, earning Full Court Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. The point guard posted a UT freshman record of 162 assists, ranking second in the SEC in that category, and leading the conference in assist-toturnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak AllAmerican and four-time Lady Vol All-SEC performer Kara Lawson and three-time All-SEC selection Shanna Zolman. That trio accounts for the school records for most of UT’s three-point marks. Warlick’s association with the Lady Vols started in 1976 when she joined the program as a scholarship 400-meter track athlete who ended up walking on to the basketball team. Soon, she would become the most prolific player in the history of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball. Warlick was the first player in Tennessee athletics (men or women) to have her jersey retired (number 22) at the end of her career in 1980. Bearden, her prep alma mater in Knoxville, retired Warlick’s high school jersey (also No. 22) prior to a home football game on Oct. 26, 2012. Known as a play-making wiz during her four years as UT’s point guard, Warlick was once tabbed the “best player in the South.” As a rookie, Warlick helped lead the Lady Vols to their first Final Four appearance in school his-

tory in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 33 years Warlick has been affiliated with UT, she has found herself at the Final Four as a player (1977, 1979, 1980) or as a coach (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Her best Final Four showing as a player was national championship runner-up in her senior season. As a coach, she has helped the Lady Vols win all eight times (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008). A three-time All-American while playing for Summitt from 1976-80, Warlick previously held UT records for most assists in a game (14), most steals in a contest (nine), most assists in a season (225) and most games in a career (142). She continues to hold the Lady Vol single-season steals record with 141 in 1978-79. Warlick possesses vast international experience as well. A member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic basketball team, Warlick also participated in the Jones C up, Pan American Games and World Championship competition. In addition, she was a WPBL All-Star, leading the Nebraska Wranglers to the championship of the Women’s Professional Basketball League in 1981. She has served as a player representative on the USA BASKETBALL council and was a member of the USOC Advisory Council for Basketball. In recognition of being a former Olympian, Warlick earned the distinct honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville as it made its way to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to joining the Tennessee staff for the 1985-86 season, Warlick gained experience at two other stops on the coaching circuit. She was an assistant at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 1983-85 at Nebraska. A native of Knoxville, Warlick earned her B.S. in marketing from Tennessee in 1981 and her master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1983. Warlick added “biker” to her vitae in 2001. To commemorate her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a number of Warlick’s friends got together and presented her with a Harley-Davidson “Sportster” motorcycle. Just six years later, Warlick already was using her love of the bike towards a greater cause, establishing the Champions For A Cause Foundation with Caldwell.
