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.
