GAME THREE SET-UP  #4/5 Tennessee (2-0) plays its third of four straight home games to open the 201415 campaign, welcoming Winthrop (1-1) to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m. ET contest on Friday.  The 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 Whitney Haworth reporting from the sideline.  Winthrop is a member of the Big South Conference and hails from Rock Hill, S.C., hometown of UT senior quarterback Justin Worley as well as VFL and current Minnesota Vikings standout Cordarrelle Patterson.  These teams will be meeting for the first time since March 9, 1974, when Winthrop ended UT’s season, 55-53, in the semifinal round of the AIAW Region II Championship in Harrisonburg, Va.  That loss was the final of Tennessee coach Margaret Hutson’s successful four-year run as skipper. She finished 25-2 that season and 60-18 during her tenure before opting to take a sabbatical and open the door for Pat Summitt to be hired prior to the next season. The rest, as they say, is history.  The Lady Vols are 2-1 in the all-time series with the Eagles.  The Big Orange will attempt to open a season with three consecutive wins for the second straight time in Holly Warlick’s threeyear stint as head coach.  The Lady Volunteers have put together dominating performances in their first two games, pummeling Penn, 97-52, on Nov. 14 and racing by Oral Roberts, 91-39, on Nov. 17.  It marked the first time since the 2001-02 season that Tennessee has scored 90+ points in its opening two regular season games.  Winthrop enters Friday’s tilt with a 1-1 record on the heels of a 73-55 home loss to Furman on Monday night.  The Eagles opened the season, however, with a 117-43 home triumph over Gallaudet on Saturday.
