Noting KentuckyTidbits

Kentucky is off to a 3-0 SEC start for the fi rst time since 1992-93.

The Wildcats went 11-2 in non-conference play leading into the SEC campaign.

UK is on a 14-game home winning streak.The 4-1-1 on Kentucky

Before facing Tennessee,Kentucky defeated Missis-sippi State, 88-40, on Jan. 8 in Lexington.

UK senior Keyla Snowden scored 22 points to lead the way.

The Wildcats set a school record for its margin of victory in SEC play, eclipsing a 31-point win over Auburn on Feb. 3, 2011.

The Wildcats also set a school record by hitting 14 3-pointers.

Our Last Meeting with Kentucky Despite being outrebounded for just the second

time in 2010-11, the fourth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols completed the SEC regular season and tourna-ment sweep by burying a school and tournament re-cord 16 treys in a 90-65 win over No. 16 Kentucky on March 6, 2011, Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Tennessee Tournament MVP Shekinna Stricklen and all-tournament team members Glory Johnson and Angie Bjorklund led the way for UT.

This marked just the third time the Lady Vols went undefeated in SEC league play and won the SEC Tournament, joining the 1993-94 team and 1997-98 squad.

Bjorklund went 7-of-8 from three and scored a game-high 23 points, while Stricklen was 5-of-6 from behind the arc, as UT shot 16-of-21 from trey land and a season-best 56.4 percent overall from the fi eld.

The Lady Vols didn’t miss a three until the 3:44 mark in the fi rst half.

Leading 39-30 at the break, UT shot 70.4 percent in the second half, opening the fi nal frame with a trey from Stricklen and a fastbreak layup

A Simmons’ trey - UT’s 14th - at 8:12 (2nd half ) broke the SEC Tournament record and put UT up 72-53.

Bjorklund’s seventh trey set a new Lady Vol mark of 16 with 2:35 remaining in the game.

UT-UK Tidbits Tennessee has played four overtime games with

Kentucky -- the most of any of UT’s SEC opponents. The last overtime game in the UK series came on Feb.

18, 1994, won by UT, 95-89. UT is 3-1 in overtime con-tests with Kentucky.

Lady Vols from the Bluegrass State Four Lady Vols have crossed the state line from Ken-

tucky to Tennessee to play for UT all-time. Hailing from the Bluegrass State were Kyra Elzy

(LaGrange), All-American Lisa Harrison (Louisville), Kathy Spinks (Belfrey) and Mina Todd (Murray).

A “For Real” Story Tennessee’s Pat Head Summitt could very well have

coached her 1,000th win at the University of Ken-tucky in February 2009.

Then-UK basketball coach and administrator Sue Feamster was looking to hand over the reins to the women’s team in 1975.

Feamster contacted Head about the job. UK planned to off er Head a little more money than she was mak-ing in Knoxville. The sticking point? Head asked for moving expenses. UK said “no.” The rest, they say, is history.

The DeMoss Factor Tennessee fans are tickled to death to have longtime

Lady Vol staff er Mickie DeMoss back on the Tennes-see bench.

DeMoss left UT for the head coaching position at Kentucky in 2003. Prior to DeMoss taking the helm at UK, the Lady Vols outscored the Wildcats by an av-erage of 32.0 ppg (85.8 to 53.8) in the four previous seasons (2000-03).

The “DeMoss Factor” in Big Blue Country (2004-07) narrowed the score to a UT leading 70.3-62.3, just a +8.0 winning margin.

She stepped down from coaching after the 2007 sea-son only to be lured back into the fray by taking an assistant position with Texas.

When a job opened up on Coach Pat Summitt’s staff in 2010, DeMoss took the opportunity to come home to Knoxville as an assistant coach and the re-cruiting coordinator for the Lady Vols.

Did You Know? The Lady Vols were kicked out of their locker room

at home after the 66-56 loss at UK on Feb. 19, 2009. They got to move back in on Nov. 23, 2009.

Kyra Elzy was a star in the HBO documentary “The Cinderella Season: The Lady Vols Fight Back.”

Matthew Mitchell liked being a Lady Vol GA -- he traveled to France, Luxembourg, Switzerland and ended the trip on the French Rivera in Nice... Won the 2000 SEC Championship and Tournament Championship... Also went to the Final Four in 2000 where UT lost in the title game to UConn.

Noting TennesseeLady Vols at a Glance

This is the Lady Vols’ 38th season under Head Coach Pat Summitt.

She has compiled a staggering 1,083-202 over-all record.

Is closing in on a milestone of 1,100 W’s -- needs just 17 more.

Collected her record 1000th coaching win with a 73-43 decision over Georgia on Feb. 5, 2009.

She passed Dean Smith (879 wins) for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 victory over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005.

Her 2006-07 and 2007-08 squads were crowned as the NCAA Champions producing the program’s seventh and eighth titles.

Last season, UT fi nished with a 34-3 overall re-cord and was crowned both the SEC Champi-ons and the SEC Tournament Champions.

This season, UT returned eight letterwinners and welcomed a talented three player rookie class.

The 2011-12 season marks the Lady Vol de-but for #5 Ariel Massengale, a 5-6 guard from Bolingbrook, Ill., #11 Cierra Burdick, a 6-2 for-ward from Charlotte, N.C., and #20 Isabelle Har-rison, a 6-3 post from Nashville, Tenn.

Our Schedule This Week Normal. After three games (and wins) last

week, the Lady Vols will face two SEC oppo-nents this week.

UT travels to #9/8-ranked Kentucky on Jan. 12 (7 p.m., FSN) and entertains #25/24-ranked Vanderbilt (2 p.m., SECN) in Knoxville on Jan. 15.

The game with Vandy is the only Sunday game in the month of January in Thompson-Boling Arena.

On This Day in LV Basketball History UT is 13-0 in games played on Jan. 12. The Lady Vols are 10-0 at home, 3-0 on the road

and 0-0 on neutral courts. The last time out on Jan. 12, #1/1-ranked UT

UT will step out of conference one last time and take on #2-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., in a sold-out arena on Mon., Jan. 23.

Joined the Club1,000 Career Rebounds -- After Glo Grabbed Four

Grad student Glory Johnson grabbed her fourth rebound in the fi rst half of the game against Arkansas and went over the 1,000 re-bound threshold for her career.

She became just the fourth Lady Vol in the history of the program to have 1,000 career points and 1000 career rebounds.

Johnson joined Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings in the exclusive club.

She enters the game with UK sporting 1,010 career boards.

She ranks third on the list behind Holdsclaw with 1,295 (148 games) and Frost with 1,043 in 138 games.

Johnson has 1,010 in 120 games to rank ahead of Catchings with 1,004 in a career-shortened (senior year ACL injury) 127 games.

SEC Player of the Week...again. After being named the SEC Player of the Week

Jan. 2, Lady Vol senior forward Glory John-son followed up with outstanding showings against Chattanooga, Georgia and Arkan-sas. For her eff orts she was tabbed with her second-consecutive SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 9.

Johnson averaged 15.7 ppg and 13.3 rpg and added three assists and eight steals, while playing 27.3 mpg in the team’s three victories.

Johnson graduated in just three years and is a M.S. candidate in Communications.

Wednesday was the fi rst day of grad school for Manning who graduated in December 2011. She is seeking a M.S. in Kinesiology.

Kentucky also has some grad students in the line-up with Keyla Snowden and Amber Smith.

We’ve Gotten DefensiveSince the Stanford Butt-kicking

How ‘bout those Lady Vols! At Arkansas on Jan. 8, Tennessee rolled out a new scent...eau de defense.

The defensive fragrance limited Arkansas to just one trey until the 5:44 mark of the fi rst half when the score was 25-3.

The Razorbacks managed to tally 11 points at the break as UT led 31-11.

For the game, Tennessee’s defense held the ‘Backs to just 18.2 percent from the fi eld (10-55) and 3-20 from three-point land (15.0 per-cent).

UT also held the edge on the boards, 47-24, in the 69-38 UT win.

Kentucky defeated Arkansas in Lexington by an 84-72 margin on Jan. 5.

In the Last Five Games Since losing at #4-ranked Stanford fi ve games

ago, the Lady Vols have stepped up. Glory Johnson is the scoring and rebounding

leader for the team during this stretch aver-aging 15.4 ppg and 12.8 rpg.

Rookie Ariel Massengale has connected on 59.5 percent of her shots from the fi eld and is contributing 12.0 ppg and 4.6 apg. She has committed just seven turnovers in the last 144 minutes.

All-America Shekinna Stricklen has struggled a bit since the loss averaging 5.5 fewer points per game (17.5 ppg heading into Stanford) and connecting on just 17.4 percent from three-point land.

UT is outscoring the opposition 80.4 to 45.0 (+35.4 winning margin) and controlling the boards 51.4 to 29.4 rpg...a +22.0 advantage on the boards.

SEC Player of the Week (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) Coming back after the winter holiday, Lady Vol se-

nior forward Glory Johnson returned with strong performances against Old Dominion and Auburn. For her eff orts, she was named the SEC Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 2.

Johnson averaged 15.0 ppg and 12.0 rpg and added three assists and three steals, while play-ing 29.0 mpg in victories over Old Dominion and Auburn.

Against Old Dominion she led the UT scoring ef-fort with 16 points and doubled up, pulling down 11 rebounds in just 26 minutes in the 90-37 win.

Following her standout game against the Lady Monarchs, Johnson recorded her second-consec-utive double-double and fourth of the season in the 73-52 victory at Auburn on Sunday.

She fi nished with 14 points, 13 boards and three steals in the win to open the SEC slate.

She is the second Lady Vol to earn SEC laurels this season, following Ariel Massengale who was tabbed SEC Freshman of the Week Dec. 5.

Sweet Home Tennessee Since Tennessee began contesting games

with SEC opponents, the Lady Vols have pro-duced a 186-12 record in home games.

Only six SEC teams have ever managed a vic-tory over the Lady Vols in Knoxville – Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss.

Georgia has won three games on UT’s turf while Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and LSU have registered two wins each and Florida one win.

Georgia was the only team to defeat UT at home in the 1990s (1991 & 1996).

LSU and Florida are the only SEC teams to de-feat UT at home in the 21st century.

Items of Interest Since Pat Head Summitt arrived as head coach

at UT in 1974, the other 11 Southeastern Con-ference schools have seen a total of 69 coach-es at the helm of their women’s basketball programs.

Over the last 38 years, Tennessee has enjoyed one head coach for Lady Vol hoops -- Sum-mitt. Next to Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia and Vanderbilt are the SEC programs with the next fewest head coaches over the 38 year span -- just four each.

The Tennessee Lady Vols have now produced a 28-5 opening day record in SEC play dating back to the 1979-80 season.

UT is 14-2 in home SEC openers and 14-3 on the road.

Georgia (1984 and 1996) and Auburn (1988 and 1989) each ambushed the Lady Vols in two SEC opening games, while Vanderbilt turned the trick in 1990.

The Lady Vols have not dropped an SEC opener since 1996 when Georgia escaped with a 94-93 overtime victory in Knoxville on Dec. 8, 1996.

Tennessee owns a 449-66 record all-time record vs. 12 teams from the SEC. UT maintains a win-ning record against every team in the SEC.

UT owns a league best record of 308-40 (.884) against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season.

Tennessee holds a winning streak over every SEC team. The Lady Vols sport 30-plus game winning streaks over three SEC teams -- South Carolina 40, Alabama 37, and Mississippi State 32. Five conference foes broke Lady Vol win-ning streaks in the 2008-09 season when Au-burn, Kentucky, LSU and Vanderbilt all tagged UT with a loss. Mississippi State is still the only SEC school never to defeat Tennessee.

After only winning nine SEC games in 2009, UT rallied and hit double-digits again in 2010 and 2011.

All-time, the Lady Vols have registered dou-ble-digit victories in conference play an in-credible 17 times.

Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play fi rst expanded, the Lady Vols have won at least 10 games in the following years: 1992-10 wins, 1993-11, 1994-11, 1995-11, 1998-14, 1999-13, 2000-13, 2001-14, 2002-13, 2003-14, 2004-14, 2005-13, 2006-11, 2007-14, 2008-13, 2010-15 and 2011-16 wins.

Back to Winning WaysThird Time this Season

Against Old Dominion, Tennessee rebounded from a loss for the third time in the 2011-12 sea-son.

After dropping a 97-80 decision at #4-ranked-Stanford on Dec. 20, UT righted the ship with a 90-37 win over ODU on Dec. 28 in Knoxville.

Stanford’s 90 points were the most against UT since Feb. 26, 2006 vs. Florida (UF 95, UT 93 (OT).

Three Losses The Lady Vols head into the game with Kentucky

with three losses on the 2011-12 season. Tennessee collected just three losses in the entire

2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons going 32-3 and 34-3, respectively.

Three Losses Heading into January The last time Tennessee sported three losses

heading into January was the 2004-05 season. The Lady Vols were 8-3 overall and had lost at

#4-ranked Texas, 74-59; to #10/9-ranked Duke, 59-57, and at #24-ranked Rutgers, 65-51.

Last 7-3 Start to Open the Season The last time the Lady Vols posted a 7-3 record in

the fi rst 10 games to open a season was in 1996-97.

In that weird 29-10 overall record & NCAA title season, Tennessee collected wins over Austin Peay, #12/13-ranked Kansas, 314/17-ranked Notre Dame, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Memphis, #11/10-ranked Texas Tech, #13/16-ranked Texas (OT) and suff ered losses to #11/8-ranked Loui-

siana Tech, #5-ranked Georgia, and #1-ranked Stanford.

The team headed into the 1997 portion of the schedule 7-4 overall after losing at #22/24 Arkan-sas.

Could be the Strength of Schedule According to the NCAA the Lady Vols have the

nation’s toughest Strength of Schedule and the best RPI .

Baylor is behind the Lady Vols with the second best RPI and the 21 st strongest schedule.

Delaware is third in RPI and 10th in SOS. Stanford is fourth and is 26th in Strength of

Schedule. UConn is fi fth in RPI and sixth in SOS.

Good News/Bad NewsWilliams Cleared to Play

Lady Vol junior guard Kamiko Williams was cleared to play by team physicians before the game with UT-Chattanooga.

Williams missed the fi rst 12 games of the season after undergoing surgery on July 22 for a torn ACL.

Spani Day-to-day Lady Vol junior Taber Spani has been dealing with

a bone bruise in her left knee since the loss at Vir-ginia on Nov. 20.

On Dec. 26, she participated in one-half of the practice and has not played or practiced since to rest the limb.

She has not played since Stanford and is listed as day-to-day.

Just the FactsFlirting with Double-Doubles

Tennessee had four players poised to record a double-double against Georgia on Jan. 5.

In the end, substitutions dictated that Glory Johnson would be the only player to end up with one registering 22 points and 13 rebounds.

Rookie Ariel Massengale tossed in 19 points and recorded nine assists.

Shekinna Stricklen had 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

Vicki Baugh lacked one bucket to tally a double-double fi nishing with eight points and 10 re-bounds off the bench.

Career Day for Two Rookies Rookies Ariel Massengale and Isabelle “Izzy” Har-

rison attended career day on Jan. 3, 2012. The duo posted career highs in points against

Chattanooga with Massengale tossing in 19 points and Harrison adding 13 points.

A Good Day in Tiger Town Sophomore Meighan Simmons had a solid per-

formance against Auburn and tossed in an SEC PR of 20 points.

She was joined in double-digit scoring by Shek-inna Stricklen with 17 points, Glory Johnson’s double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds and Alicia Manning’s 10 points.

UT ruled the boards by a 49-31 margin.Manning Threw a Christmas Party

UT coach Pat Summitt inserted senior Alicia Man-ning into the starting line-up (for Vicki Baugh) against Old Dominion on Dec. 28 stating the Woodstock, Ga., native “had earned it in practice.”

Manning responded with career highs in re-bounds (15) and steals (6).

A blue collar player all the way, the Lady Vols’ “grittiness factor” reaches all-time highs when Manning is on the court.

Dialing Assistance A pair of Lady Vol rookies have recorded nine as-

sists in a game twice this season. Ariel Massengale had nine helpers against (then)

#7-ranked Miami. Fellow freshmate Cierra Burdick dished nine as-



sists against Old Dominion. Their mark of nine is second-best for a rookie.

Sophomore Meighan Simmons holds the UT rookie record with 11 scoring passes against Ala-bama on Jan. 6, 2011.

Simmons Slowly Heating it Up Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons has des-

perately struggled with her shot this season. “Speedy” had a fi eld goal average hovering on

life support in the teens and has not hit the mid 30’s in FG%....

Elite CompanyGlory -- Maybe This Season?

It’s a fact that Tennessee has produced some of the greatest players ever in women’s collegiate basketball.

It’s a little known fact that there has only been one double-fi gure rebounder in the history of the program -- Olympian and Kodak All-Ameri-can Patricia Roberts.

Roberts hauled in 14.2 rpg (467 total) in her only season as a Lady Vol in 1976-77. She also claimed scoring honors with 29.9 ppg (987 points) in her single season on The Hill.

In 2006-07, Candace Parker came the closest to a double-fi gure rebounding average but had to settle for 9.8 rpg.

Last season, Glory Johnson fl irted with the elu-sive double-digit and managed 9.7 rpg.

Johnson is currently averaging 9.8 rpg.From the Chalk BoardMUST Control the Glass

Tennessee had managed to do a better job on the boards since Miami controlled that stat line in game two of the season.

Then in the blink of an eye, the Lady Vols lost the rebounding battle in back-to-back games against UCLA and Stanford.

The Cardinal controlled the boards 35-29 and scored 14 second chance points.

One game earlier, for just the second time this season, an opponent led UT on the boards when UCLA grabbed a 31-28 edge on Dec. 17.

In UT’s defense, the Lady Vols shot 69.2 percent from the fi eld for the game.

The Lady Vols held a decisive rebounding edge over #1-ranked Baylor grabbing 56 rebounds to the Lady Bears’ 42.

UT followed that up with a 53-30 rebounding night against MTSU, a 49-38 display against a tall Texas lineup and a similar line-up against DePaul, 45-42.

It’s Not Better to Give Tennessee has been its own worst enemy turn-

ing the ball over. UT committed a total of 24 turnovers in the loss

to Virginia which led to 29 UVa points but did a little bit better job against Baylor with just 11 miscues leading to 14 Lady Bear points.

The Big Orange fell off the turnover wagon against MTSU and gave up the ball 21 times.

In a sprint fest against Texas, UT’s ball security led to just nine giveaways.

The turnover truck broad-sided Tennessee with-out Ariel Massengale in the game vs. DePaul.

The Lady Vols surrendered the ball 19 times to DU but ball security improved in the second half.

On the season, UT has generated 17.1 points off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 12.4 ppg off of Orange mistakes.

UT leads in second chance points per game at 18.0 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.7 ppg.

Free Means Free Since enduring a miserable 52.4 percent inac-

curacy from the free throw line in the loss to

Virginia, the Lady Vols have picked it up a little. On the season, UT’s free throw percentage has

climbed beyond the 70 percent range at 72.1 (246-341) .

Kudos to senior Glory Johnson who has been sent to the line a team high 94 times and con-nected on 64 for an improved 68.1 accuracy rate.

Head Coach Pat SummittNCAAs Ford Award Presented Today

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt is the recipient of the 2012 NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award.

Summitt will be recognized during the opening business session on Jan. 12 at the 2012 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.

The Lady Vols are playing at Kentucky, so Sum-mitt will address the Convention attendees in a taped video message and Joan Cronan will ac-cept the award on Summitt’s behalf.

Announced on Dec. 6 the award is named in rec-ognition of former President Gerald Ford, honors an individual who has provided signifi cant lead-ership as an advocate for intercollegiate athlet-ics over the course of their career.

NCAA President Mark Emmert said her contribu-tions to intercollegiate athletics over almost four decades go well beyond one sport.

“Coach Summitt has been recognized numerous times for her contributions to women’s basket-ball – and rightly so,” Emmert said.

“The Ford Award honors her for what she has meant to intercollegiate athletics through her career and for the positive example she contin-ues to set today. “

The SEC Announces “We Back Pat” The Southeastern Conference in cooperation

with its 12-member institutions announces “We Back Pat” Week, a week-long initiative focused on bringing awareness and recognition to the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund of The Communi-ty Foundation of Middle Tennessee and its fi ght against Alzheimer’s disease.

During the week of January 15-22, SEC mem-ber institutions will support the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund during their home basketball games.

During the 17 women’s and 12 men’s games slated for the week, various eff orts will be made to increase awareness of the Pat Summitt Foun-dation Fund.

Twenty of these games will be televised. “Pat Summitt is a leader both on and off the

court. The establishment of the Pat Summitt Foundation Fund only reiterates this point.” said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. “We are pleased that the Southeastern Conference can play a small part in helping Pat reach her goals for The Foundation Fund today and in the future.”

Former Players Compile a Memory Book After hearing of Tennessee Lady Vol Coach Pat

Summitt’s diagnosis of early onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type, Chamique Holdsclaw reached out to players spanning all decades of Lady Vol basketball to compile a “memory book” for their coach.

Holdsclaw, a four-time Lady Vols All-American from 1995-99, contacted former Lady Vol play-ers, managers and staff ers asking them to share written memories, Summitt’s infl uence on their lives, and photos of their time in the program. The Astoria, N.Y., native then compiled all of the submissions into a book.

“I know my relationship with Coach Summitt through the death of my grandmother and me going through my ups and downs battling de-pression,’’ said Holdsclaw. “What I realized from these letters is coach has helped these players

through some of the most diffi cult times of their lives. When I’m reading them, I’m thinking, ‘Wow she’s had such an impact on all of our lives and just not basketball.’ “

A collection of former players and managers met with Summitt prior to the UT game against Old Dominion and presented her the book.

Summitt was overwhelmed. “It’s really hard to surprise Pat,’’ Holdsclaw said. “She was really ex-cited and very touched by the book.”

Maggie Dixon Award Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt was presented with

the Maggie Dixon Courage Award at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11, 2011.

The Award is presented annually to an individu-al who exhibits courage in the face of adversity and continues to exemplify Maggie’s mantra of never allowing adversity to get in the way of achieving a dream.

Sports Illustrated Sportswoman for 2011 As the all-time winningest coach in NCAA col-

legiate basketball, University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt has won her fair share of awards over the past 38 years.

On Dec. 5, 2011 Summitt joined an elite group of sports superstars when it was announced by Time Inc. Sports Group editor Terry McDonell that she, and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, were the 2011 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Sportswoman and Sportsman of the Year.

On Tues., Dec. 6 Summitt and Krzyzewski were feted at a celebration in New York City and were joined by fellow Sportswomen and Sportsmen Chris Evert (1976), Sugar Ray Leonard (1981), Wayne Gretzky (1982), David Robinson (2003) and David Ortiz (2004).

Summitt and Krzyzewski, the NCAA’s all-time winningest women’s and men’s basketball coaches, joined an elite group of sports im-mortals, including Muhammad Ali, Arthur Ashe, Derek Jeter, Michael Jordan, Billie Jean King, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Orr and Pete Rozelle to receive this award.

The magazine’s editors have chosen each honor-ee based on the principles established in 1954, when runner Roger Bannister was honored as SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’s fi rst Sportsman: “While the victory may have been his or hers, it is not for the victory alone that he or she is honored. Rather, it is for the quality of their eff ort and manner of their striving.”

Summitt and Krzyzewski join UCLA’s John Wooden (1972) and North Carolina’s Dean Smith (1997) to round out a veritable Mount Rush-more of college coaches who have received this award.

In 1972, Wooden, who had won his eighth na-tional title in nine seasons, was selected along with Billie Jean King. Smith was honored in 1997, the same year he set the then NCAA wins record and announced his retirement.

Other coaches named Sportsman include Joe Paterno (1986); manager Terry Francona (2004, with the Boston Red Sox); Herb Brooks (1980, with the U.S. Olympic hockey team) and Tony DiCicco (1999, with the U.S. Women’s soccer team).

Huskies on January 21st (CBS). Thousands of fans wore the “We Back Pat” t-shirt

to the Baylor game as 16,623 spectators were on hand.

Shirts are still available at The UT Bookstore and Stokely Athletics Center stores, as well as area Food City and Walgreens. The shirts are $10, with $4.25 from every shirt going to research.

In a halftime ceremony at the Baylor game, checked were presented to Alzheimer’s Ten-nessee and UT Medical Center, as the `We Back Pat’ T-shirts have already generated more than $150,000 in donations. The proceeds will help directly impact those living with the disease in the state of Tennessee.

Announcing the Pat Summitt Foundation Since sharing her diagnosis of dementia in late

August, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt indicated she would like to start a foundation.

Summitt along with her son, Tyler, have formed a foundation that will fund grants in support of Alzheimer’s programs. The foundation, The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund (www.patsummitt.org), was announced at halftime of the Baylor game on Nov. 27 in Knoxville.

The aim of her Foundation is to make grants to non-profi t organizations which provide educa-tion and awareness of Alzheimer’s, its onset and treatment; support services to patients, their families and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent, cure and ultimately eradicate the dis-ease.

“Tyler and I have decided to join this battle, not just for us, but also for the millions of families aff ected by this disease. I have always told our players, our greatest opportunities are disguised as our greatest obstacles. It is time to treat this obstacle as an opportunity and a stepping stone to a cure,” Summitt said.

Amazing Summitt Numbers Pat Summitt’s teams have faced 164 opponents

in 1,285 total games and teams from 35 confer-ences

46% of her 1,285 total games have been played versus ranked teams (598 total games against ranked opponents) with 435 victories versus ranked opponents

161 all-time Lady Vols have contributed to 1,083wins.

72% of those all-time players have gone on to be decorated as Olympians, All-Americans, USA National Team members, All-SEC performers, Academic All-Americans, Academic All-SEC, etc.

Summitt Receives Courage Award The United States Sports Academy presented

Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt its “Courage” award at the Pepperdine game on Nov. 13.

Trustee emeritus of the USSA, Gene Policinski, was on hand in Knoxville to give Summitt one of the organization’s most prestigious honors -- the Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias Cour-age Award.

Citing that, Summitt, the seemingly unbeatable coach, has dementia and she vows to fi ght it, raise awareness and keep on coaching.

The Courage Award is presented annually to an individual who demonstrates courageous action in overcoming adversity to excel in sport. This individual should exhibit the qualities of cour-age, perseverance, grace, and strength in sport achievement.

Zaharias’ spirit and zest for life, as well as her courage, strength, and achievement, are the qualities for which this award is named. The Babe’s fi ght to overcome life-threatening cancer and then return to the winner’s circle in women’s professional golf has withstood the test of time.

Off the Glass Rebounds Win Championships

Coach Pat Summitt’s mantra of defense and boards has been a staple of her nearly four de-cades of coaching.

In two 2011-12 preseason exhibitions contests, the Lady Vols outrebounded the opposition 52.0 rpg to 26.5 rpg.

UT started out the 2011-12 regular season haul-ing in 54 boards against Pepperdine while the Waves snagged 34.

Tennessee fell off the rebounding wagon in the very next game as Miami controlled the glass collecting 45 boards to the Lady Vols’ 38 total re-bounds. That was a vast improvement over UT’s 13-rebound deficit at halftime to the Hurricanes.

UT corrected the rebounding problem against Virginia, 45-38, with Shekinna Stricklen collect-ing 14 boards.

Since losing the battle of the boards to Miami, Tennessee had not be outrebounded again until it faced UCLA on Dec. 17 and Stanford on Dec. 20.

Overall this season, the Lady Vols hold just a +11.9 rebounding advantage, 46.6-34.7.

Last season, in 37 games, Tennessee was out-rebounded only twice -- by Georgia Tech, 37-36, and vs. Kentucky in the SEC Tournament fi nal, 46-41.

Overall, the Lady Vols held a +12.4 rebounding advantage, 46.3 to 33.9, in 2010-11.

StreakingWe were Streaking into 2011-12

The Lady Vols had a 38-game home court win-ning streak halted against Baylor on Nov. 27, 2011. It was the third longest in Lady Vol history. Tennessee’s all-time home court winning streak is 69 consecutive games from Feb. 2, 1991 to Jan. 6, 1996.

Lady Vol Streaks The Lady Vols last loss at home was against #1

Baylor, 76-67, on Nov. 27, 2011, since then UT is 5-0 at home.

The last time UT lost on the road was on Dec. 20, 2011 at Stanford, 97-80. Since then, UT is 2-0 in road games.

The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral



court was against Notre Dame, 73-59, in the 2011 NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2011. Since that time, UT is 1-0 on a neutral court.

Shekinna Has It Going On Lady Vol senior Shekinna Stricklen has the na-

tion’s longest starting streak entering the 2011-12 season.

Stricklen has started 119 consecutive games. DePaul senior forward Keisha Hampton started

112 consecutive games before her streak was halted on Dec. 17.

TBA - The Place to PlayRocky Top, You’ll Always Be...

Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky Top, Tennessee has already entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season averaging 82.9 ppg on The Summitt while hold-ing the opponents to 55.5 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,391 fans per game.

Toughest Place To Play The University of Tennessee’s Thompson-Boling

Arena is still the toughest women’s basketball arena in the nation to secure a win. The Lady Vols have fashioned a 347-21 all-time record on “The Summitt” for a 94.45 winning percentage since the doors were opened in 1987.

Welcome to “The Summitt” The playing court in the Thompson-Boling Arena

on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season.

After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, “The Sum-mitt.”

The fl oor had a complete overhaul with per-manent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols painted directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted orange with “SEC” reversed out; the giant jump circle/mid-court TENNESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s ac-tual signature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches.

300 Wins in TBA Tennessee recorded its 300th win in Thompson-

Boling Arena when the Lady Vols defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 79-69 OT on Dec. 21, 2008.

Seven years earlier, UT grabbed its 200th TBA win over the University of Southern California on Nov. 18, 2001, 106-66.

UT has now amassed a 346-21(.941) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thomp-son-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 25-years ago.

Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10 fl awless home records: in 1988-89 (15-0), 1991-92 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 2000-01 (15-0), 2002-03 (16-0), 2009-10 (17-0) and 2010-11 (17-0).

UT also registered a former NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.

Just 21 TBA Losses The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling

Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times.

UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons.

The 21 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 11 teams: Baylor (2011), Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002,

2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Geor-gia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stan-ford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

Home Sweet Home The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was

the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Summitt took over as head coach in 1974.

Summitt has won 91.6 percent of all home games in 38 years producing a 499-46 overall record.

Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athlet-ics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

On the Court100 Point Games

Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 76 times.

The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games to lead the NCAA.

UT has a record of 73-3 all-time in 100-point games and a 51-0 record when hitting the cen-tury mark at Thompson-Boling Arena.

In Overtime Tennessee is 28-14 all-time in overtime games. UT’s most recent overtime aff air was a 69-64 loss

at Virginia on Nov. 20, 2011. The most OT games in a year was tied in 2003-04

with four as the Lady Vols went 3-1 in overtime losing to Georgia, 68-66, and defeating Auburn, 68-61, DePaul, 96-89, and Stanford, 70-66.

It tied the mark set in 1996-97, when the Lady Vols were 3-1 in overtime contests losing to Georgia, 94-93, and defeating Texas, 68-65, Vanderbilt, 92-79 and LSU, 100-99.

UT’s 22 points in the OT against Florida (2-3-05), was the most ever scored by the Lady Vols in a single overtime.

UT’s most recent OT aff air in Knoxville was a 82-72 win over Stanford on Dec. 19, 2010.

Lady Vols Own All-Time Wins Mark Tennessee is the all-time wins leader in the

NCAA with 1,176 victories. The next closest pro-gram all-time in terms of wins is Louisiana Tech, which owns a 1,000-212 record (entering the 2011-12 season). The Lady Vols boast a 1,176-259-2 (.827) all-time record.

Staff ers Have, But Never a Player No former Lady Vol who has joined the col-

legiate coaching ranks has ever beaten Head Coach Pat Summitt.

Lady Vol HonoreesTrio Named

Lady Vol seniors Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen along with sophomore Meighan Sim-mons have been recognized among the group of players chosen for the 2011-12 preseason candidate list for the Naismith Trophy as an-nounced on Nov. 30 by the Atlanta Tipoff Club.

The Naismith Trophy is presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate women’s basketball player and is named in honor of the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith.

UT is joined by Notre Dame and Connecticut as the only institutions with three candidates for the award.

The candidate pool will be trimmed with the se-lection of the Midseason Top 30 List in February, and that list will be whittled to four fi nalists in March.

The Naismith Trophy will be presented during the NCAA Women’s Final Four, April 1-3 in Den-ver.

The Tennessee trio has collected accolades throughout the preseason. Johnson made the list of nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and was named to the Wooden Award

Top 30 list in October. Stricklen joined John-son on the Wooden Award Top 30 list and was named to the Associated Press Preseason All-America squad. Johnson, Stricklen and Simmons were each named to Preseason All-SEC squads with Stricklen tabbed preseason player of the year.

Stricklen Honored as AP A-A Lady Vol senior guard Shekinna Stricklen was se-

lected as a First Team Associated Press Preseason All-American.

Also joining Stricklen on the fi ve player team were Baylor’s Brittney Griner, Notre Dame’s Sky-lar Diggins, Stanford’s Nnemkadi Ogwumike and Miami’s Shenise Johnson.

Tennessee and Stricklen will face each of those teams this season.

Johnson Named a Lowe’s Nominee Tennessee senior forward Glory Johnson has

been named one of 30 women’s basketball nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, presented to student-athletes who excel on and off the fi eld.

Johnson is one of three nominees from the SEC. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete

must be classifi ed as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence -community, classroom, character and competition. The CLASS award is an acro-nym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School and focuses on the total student-athlete.

“Glory is an ideal candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award,” Head Coach Pat Summitt said, “blending the perfect balance of excellence in the classroom, on the court and in the commu-nity. She is our fi rst player ever to graduate in three years and that shows her dedication and discipline toward her academics.”

Johnson captured All-SEC First Team honors in 2010-11 and was a fi nalist for the 2011 State Farm All-America Team.

A Master of Science in Communication candi-date, Johnson completed her undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Programs with a Con-centration in Global Studies and a Specialization in Global Politics and Economy in only three years.

2011-12 Archive NotesAnother Graybeard Game

The game versus Georgia came against another coach with lots of W’s.

Already this season, UT coach Pat Summitt coached in “graybeard games” against Rutgers’ C. Vivian Stringer and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer.

Both coaches entered the contest against UT with over 800 career victories -- Stringer with 872 and VanDerveer with 833.

Georgia coach Andy Landers is a member of the 800 club with 867 wins on his resume.

Summitt and Landers have a combined 1,948 wins heading into the Georgia game on Jan. 5.

Massengale Back Lady Vol rookie point guard Ariel Massengale was

back in the starting line-up against Old Dominion. She was cleared to play on Dec. 20 after missing the

previous three games (#20/21 DePaul, #11 Rutgers and UCLA).

The starting rookie guard made a brief 11 minute second half appearance against Stanford.

She suff ered a dislocated middle fi nger on her left hand in practice on Dec. 8.

UT turned Scarlet at Stanford Tennessee’s 17-point loss at Stanford was the Lady

Vols’ worst “L” since losing 71-55 against Ball State on Mar. 22, 2009, in the First Round of the NCAA tourna-ment.

The Cardinal owned the boards against the Lady Vols with a 35-29 advantage.

Stanford also dominated UT in the paint by a 40-18 margin.

Stricklen = Ironwomen Senior Shekinna Stricklen logged an average of

37.1 minutes per game over the four contests on the road in December.

She logged all 40 minutes against Stanford while scoring a career high 27 points.

She managed 33 minutes against UCLA despite fi ghting stomach troubles which sent her to the locker room in the fi rst half.

In the come-from-behind victory at Rutgers, Strick-len sat a handful of second shy of 40 minutes.

In that game, she tossed in 22 points, grabbed nine rebounds and snagged three steals.

Against DePaul, she logged 34 minutes.Shoot ‘em Up

Against UCLA, Tennessee hit a school record 76 per-cent (19-of-25) of its shots in the fi rst half eclipsing the previous record of 70.3 percent against Old Do-minion(1/4/89).

On the afternoon against UCLA, Tennessee shot 69.2 percent - the fourth-highest mark in program his-tory.

UT’s season high shooting percentage going into the game was 49.2 percent against Pepperdine (11/13/11).

The Ranked UT’s six ranked opponents within its fi rst 10 games of

the 2011-12 campaign marks the most since playing fi ve teams in the AP poll in the fi rst eight games of the 2007-08 season.

Conference Carousel This season, the Lady Vols have faced a pair of teams

from three diff erent conferences -- the ACC, the Big 12, BIG EAST and Pac-12.

Against these power conferences, UT recorded a 5-3 record.

Was Happy to be in Cali Lady Vol starting center Vicki Baugh is excited to be

in her home state of California. The Sacramento native, who missed almost 21

months on the court due to ACL surgeries, will be making her fi rst appearance in Los Angeles since her rookie season in 2007-08.

Baugh is fi nishing her UT eligibility in grad school. She will receive her Master’s in kinesiology in May.

From BIG EAST Week to Pac 12 Week Last week, the Lady Vols took on two teams from the

BIG EAST facing #20/21-ranked DePaul (an 84-61 win on Dec. 11) and #11-ranked Rutgers on Dec. 13 (a 67-61 win).

This week, Tennessee engages in Pac 12 Week facing UCLA (an 85-64 win) and at #4-ranked Stanford (a 97-80 loss)on the road.

One of the Days of Christmas Somewhere in the Lady Vols version of the “Twelve

Days of Christmas” there should be a verse of “Stan-ford Comes A’ Callin’.”

Over the last 20-plus years, Tennessee and Stanford have traditionally met in mid-December and typi-cally served as a measuring stick for each other re-gardless of the outcome.

In December games against the Cardinal, UT leads the series 16-6.

Summer Fun Please excuse Glory Johnson, Shekinna Stricklen,

Nnemkadi and Chiney Ogwumike if they are caught up in conversation and laughter before the game.

The foursome spent part of their summer as USA basketball teammates at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China.

Team USA posted a perfect 6-0 record. The Red, White & Blue captured the gold medal with a

101-66 victory over Taiwan.Playing in Front of a Full House

The games versus both Stanford and UCLA were announced as advance sellouts.

Last season, UT played in front of capacity crowds at Louisville (22,124), Old Dominion (7,774), Baylor (10,569) and Auburn (7,536).

Massengale Making Progress Starting rookie point guard Ariel Massengale is

making progress in recovering from a dislocated fi nger.

In the last couple of days, she has returned to the court to take some light reps.

The protective cast-like material was removed prior to the team traveling out west.

On Dec. 8, Jenny Moshak, University of Tennessee Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, announced that Massengale had suff ered a dislo-cated fi nger in practice and would possibly be out of the lineup for two to three weeks.

The week previously, the rookie from Bolingbrook, Ill., collected the fi rst conference honors of her collegiate career as she was named SEC Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week following her outstanding performance in UT’s wins over Middle Tennessee and (then) No. 20/21-ranked Texas.

On the season, Massengale is averaging 7.2 ppg and 5.8 apg for the No. 7/8-ranked Lady Vols.

Missing Miss Massengale In the three games with out Ariel Massengale, ball

security has been an issue. Tennessee has committed 50 miscues in the last

three games. UT lost the ball an improved 15 times at UCLA.

However, those 15 miscues led to 15 Bruin points. Against #11-ranked Rutgers, UT had 16 turnovers

(including three off ensive fouls). UT evenly spaced the miscues with eight in each

half. At the start of the game against DePaul, the Lady

Vols certainly looked like they were very much missing freshman point guard Massengale.

In the fi rst fi ve minutes, all fi ve starters lost the ball at least once for a total of six UT miscues.

Tennessee managed to settle down over the next 15 minutes of the half and lost the ball just seven times.

Despite shuffl ed line-ups in the second half, UT committed just six turnovers in the next 20 min-utes.

Taber is Clutch Since suff ering a bone bruise against Virginia on



and Ball State (Mar. 7 & 22). Tennessee suff ered back-to-back losses three

times in the 10 loss, 1996-97 NCAA Champion-ship “Cinderella Season.”

Of the 201 all-time losses for Summitt’s UT teams, they have lost back-to-back-to-back games just twice.

In December 1984, the Lady Vols lost three con-secutive games (all on the road) at #3-ranked Georgia, at #2-ranked Texas and at #7-ranked Louisiana Tech.

In February 1986, UT also lost three consecutive games at #8-ranked Ole Miss, #11-ranked Au-burn and against #3-ranked Louisiana Tech.

When Playing Number One Tennessee is 14-29 all-time when playing the na-

tion’s number one ranked team. The Lady Vols are 3-10 in Knoxville, an even 6-6 on the road and 5-13 on neutral courts.

UT is currently ranked number six in the AP poll. Tennessee is now 0-4 when trying to upset #1 from that position.

UT is currently ranked number seven in the USA To-day/ESPN poll. Tennessee is now 0-2 when trying to upset #1 from that position.

The Numbers Game Prior to the game versus Baylor on Nov. 27, the

last time Tennessee played the nation’s number one-ranked team was on Jan. 22, 2007 in Knox-ville. The Lady Vols missed charity tosses down the stretch to lose 74-70 to top-ranked Duke af-ter mounting a furious comeback rally.

The Blue Devils opened the game with a night-marish 19-0 run-out, as the Lady Vols fell into a 21-point hole (28-7 at 9:23 in the fi rst half ) before rallying to narrow the halftime defi cit to 11 points (38-27).

Free throw defense stymied Tennessee, as the Lady Vols connected on just 8-17 (.471) for the game. All-American Candace Parker managed just 1-7 from the free throw line.

Good Neighbors The 2011 meeting with Miami in the State Farm

TipOff Classic marked the Lady Vols eighth ap-pearance in the State Farm TipOff Classic and the fi fth time to host the event. Tennessee now has a 6-2 record in TipOff games.

Making a Claim In the fi rst TipOff in 1993, Lady Vol coach Pat

Summitt picked up her 500th career victory. In the TipOff in 1998, Purdue and Coach Caro-

lyn Peck halted the Lady Vols school record 46-game consecutive winning streak.

Tennessee’s last opening game home loss to start a season came against Louisiana Tech in the 1999 TipOff Classic, 69-64, as UT failed to convert free throws in the waning seconds.

In Tennessee’s most recent TipOff appearance in 2009 in Knoxville, the Lady Vols spoiled Brittney Griner’s fi rst collegiate game with a 74-65 vic-tory over the Lady Bears.

Going into the Hall Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Nikki Mc-

Cray Pinson will be a member of the 2012 Wom-en’s Basketball Hall of Fame Induction Class. Also being inducted are: Nancy Fahey (Coach), Pamela McGee (Player), Inge Nissen (Player), Robin Roberts (Contributor), and Dawn Staley (Player). McGee was introduced at the 2011 TipOff in Knoxville.

Rookie Starts A true rookie got a starting nod on the opening

day of the 2011-12 season. When Coach Pat Summitt started freshman Ari-

el Massengale against Pepperdine in the open-ing game of the 2011-12 season, it marked only the 14th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very fi rst game at Ten-nessee -- out of a total of 161 all-time Lady Vols who have played at UT.

The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Can-dace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Rob-inson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiff ani Johnson

1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.The Nod

With Ariel Massengale getting the opening day start against Pepperdine, she became the 61st rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at UT. Last season, Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Cibolo, Texas, became the 60th rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Tennessee.

The previous year, rookie Kamiko Williams (59th all-time) started against Arkansas while her classmate and fellow rookie Taber Spani, be-came the 13th frosh to start her very fi rst game at UT and the 58th rookie overall.

In 2008-09, a record number of players – FIVE – were called on to start for the Lady Vols as rookies: Shekinna Stricklen (starter number 53), Glory Johnson (number 54), Briana Bass (55), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments.

Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start during her freshman season –she started in 30 of 38 games.

Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her freshman season.

Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt fresh-man Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06.

A season earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods dur-ing the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Hornbuckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts.

This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies.

Fourth Earliest Opener The game against Pepperdine was the fourth

earliest date the Lady Vols have ever opened the season. UT’s earliest opening game was dur-ing the 2002-03 season with fi rst tip on Nov. 10, 2002, taking on #22/19-ranked Oklahoma and registering a 94-68 win.

GAME 1 #3 UT vs. Pepperdine // Nov. 13, 2011

GAME 2 #3 UT vs. #7 Miami // Nov. 15, 2011

KNOXVILLE -- It took over two minutes for the first shot to finally fall. Pepperdine never led, but kept within two baskets until an 8-0 run capped by Meighan Simmons’ jumper with 10:32 left in the first half gave Tennessee a 20-9 lead.

Summitt played her entire bench in the first half, including freshmen Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison, and the Tennessee reserves scored 20 points.

Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Shekinna Stricklen and Simmons each had 13 points, Taber Spani contributed 11 points and Briana Bass had 10.

Pepperdine’s tough defense came at a cost. The Waves had 14 personal fouls in the first half, though the Lady Vols were uncharacteristically sloppy at the charity stripe, making just two of six foul shots before halftime.

Still, it forced Rousseau to go deep into her bench, which was responsible for just four points in the first half and 19 total. Jazmine Jackson had 17 points for the Waves, who shot 28.4 percent to the Lady Vols’ 49.2 percent shooting.

Tennessee outrebounded Pepperdine 54-34, but couldn’t turn them into points. The Lady Vols gained control of the game with their 20 fast-break points and by sinking eight of their 10 3-point baskets in the second half.

Summitt gave a starting nod to point guard Ariel Massengale, making her just the 14th Lady Vol to start her very first career game. The coach was so convinced of Massengale’s talent and frustrated by a lack of a bona fide point guard last season that she dubbed Mas-sengale a starter back in March.

Massengale sat for more than 13 minutes in the first half after picking up two fouls and finished with just one field goal, but had five assists to just one turnover and came up with two steals and three rebounds in 20 minutes.

KNOXVILLE - Junior Taber Spani hit a game-high four three-pointers, but none bigger than the one she drained from the top of the key as the shot clock expired with 6:36 remaining in the game. The swish ignited an 11-0 Tennessee run and ultimately helped lift the No. 3 Tennessee women’s basketball team (2-0) to a 92-76 victory over No. 7 Miami (1-1) on Tuesday eve-ning at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The pair of top ten teams were tied, 42-42, at halftime before Tennessee scored the second half’s first nine points and 18 of the first 22 to take a 60-46 lead.

But the Hurricanes came storming back, eventually getting as close as 73-68. That’s when Spani saved her best for her last shot.

After her three-pointer, the Lady Vols forced a shot clock violation on the other end, and freshman Isabelle Harrison scored her first points of the evening off of on an offensive rebound.

Tennessee went on to score 19 of the game’s final 27 points to notch its second win in as many tries this season.

After Miami’s Riquna Williams went off for 17 first-half points, UT limited her to just seven in the second. Although she finished with a game-high 24 points, the Lady Vols made her use 28 shot attempts to get there.

Tennessee had five players in double-figures. Joining Spani were Meighan Simmons (18), Johnson (16), Shekinna Stricklen (15) and Ariel Massengale (11). Johnson also chipped in a team-high nine rebounds, while Massengale led the game with the second-highest assist total by a UT freshman all-time with nine.

In the first half, it was the Hurricanes that got off to a strong start. After Baugh scored the game’s opening bucket on a layup, Miami went on a 10-2 run for its largest lead of the contest, 10-4.

The Hurricanes made four of their first six three-point attempts, and led until a try from Simmons put the Lady Vols back ahead, 18-16, with 13:41 left in the first half.

After UM’s Stefanie Yderstorm responded with a three-pointer of her own complemented by a Krystal Saunders layup, the Lady Vols scored eight consecutive points to take a 26-21 lead with 10:21 left in the first half and would not trail again.

UT matched its biggest lead of the first 20 minutes, 38-31, on a jumper from Spani, who led the team with 13 first-half points. UM closed the first half with an 11-4 run to tie the score, 42-42.

GAME 3#3 UT at Virginia // Nov. 20, 2011

GAME 4#6/7 UT vs. #1 Baylor // Nov. 27, 2011

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Chelsea Shine scored 18 points, including a key basket in over-time, and Virginia stunned turnover-prone No. 3 Tennessee 69-64 on Sunday.

The Cavaliers (4-0) came into the game allowing just over 42 points a game under first-year coach Joanne Boyle, and dictated the pace against a Lady Vols team averaging 90.5 points.

Taber Spani led the Lady Vols (2-1) with 22 points, including a 3-pointer 59 seconds into overtime that gave Tennessee a 61-58 lead, but the Cavaliers scored the next 11 points, the crowd at John Paul Jones Arena getting more excited with each basket.

China Crosby had 13 points and Ataira Franklin 12 for Virginia, which beat Tennessee for just the third time in 16 games. Lexie Gerson and Ariana Moorer each scored 10. Shekinna Stricklen had 16 and Glory Johnson 15 for the Lady Vols, who missed 10 of 21 free throws.

In the overtime, after Spani’s 3-pointer, Moorer hit a pair of free throws, and then a foul-line jumper, one of only three baskets she made in 16 tries. Shine followed a turnover the Ten-nessee with a short baseline jumper, and Crosby hit 3 of 4 free throws to make it 67-61.

The Lady Vols never had an answer, and each time they failed to score and Virginia came away with the ball, the crowd of 6,450 at John Paul Jones Arena got louder and more excited.

Stricklen had a chance to give the Lady Vols the lead near the end of regulation when she was fouled while scoring, but she missed the free throw, one of 10 misses in 21 tries for Tennessee. The Lady Vols also had 24 turnovers that the Cavaliers turned into 27 points.

Crosby broke a 56-all tie with 36.6 seconds to go in regulation, hitting a desperate shot from the baseline with the shot clock running down. After a timeout, Spani calmly swished a 12-footer from the left baseline with 22.8 seconds to go, pulling Tennessee even again.

Moorer’s last chance drive in regulation was cleanly blocked just before the buzzer. The Cavaliers tightened their defense and Tennessee continued to be sloppy early in the sec-ond half as Virginia opened the half on a 14-6 run. The Cavaliers led by as many as nine and by 47-40 when the Lady Vols began asserting themselves on the offensive glass and rallied.

Tennessee scored eight straight points, taking its first lead since the first half, but Shine scored inside and Crosby’s three-point play boosted the Cavaliers’ edge back to 52-48.

The Lady Vols pulled even three times, but only led once thereafter.

Virginia used a 12-2 run to take a 24-20 lead in a sloppy first half. The Lady Vols turned the ball over at least seven times in the drought, and went almost 5 minutes without scoring.

Spani, who hit the floor hard at one point and went back to the locker room, led Tennessee with 12 points in the half, and Gerson led the Cavaliers with eight.

KNOXVILLE - The No. 6 Lady Vols led for much of the second half, but No. 1 Baylor took the lead late in the second half and went on to a 76-67 win before an electric crowd at Thompson-Boling Arena. The contest was the first “WE BACK PAT” game as the Pat Summitt Foundation was launched at halftime and $150,000 was presented to the Alzheimer’s Ten-nessee and the UT Medical Center with money raised from sales of “WE BACK PAT” shirts.

Baylor All-American Brittney Griner scored 17 of her game-high 26 in the second half to lead the Bears’ comeback as they moved to 6-0. UT’s All-American Shekinna Stricklen led the Lady Vols with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Vicki Baugh also had 17 points and 10 rebounds.

With the loss, the Lady Vols’ 38-game home win streak comes to an end as Tennessee falls to 2-2 overall. The last time UT started a season 2-2 was the 1990-91 season. That year, Tennes-see went on to win its third NCAA Championship with a 30-5 record.

Odyssey Sims (23 points) knocked down a 3-pointer with 7:20 left in regulation to give Baylor the lead it would never relinquish, 56-53. Glory Johnson (9 points, 11 rebounds) swooped in for a layup with 6:40 left to bring UT back within one at 56-55, but that was as close as it would be the rest of the way.

Tennessee continued to pressure in the final minutes, but missed several shots as the Lady Vols shot just 29.3 percent in the game.

Johnson made a pair of free throws with 2:02 left to bring UT back within four at 65-61. Griner answered with another lay-in with just two seconds left on the shot clock to give the Bears a 67-61 lead with 1:32 left in the game.

Baugh (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Stricklen both bombed a 3-pointers in the final 44 sec-onds, but it wasn’t enough as the Bears posted the win to drop the Lady Vols to 2-2.

The Lady Vols grabbed 55 rebounds, outboarding the Bears, 55-42, their most since the NCAA First Round win over Stetson last season, when they had 63.

Taber Spani’s lay-up with 8:50 left, gave the Lady Vols a 53-50. Spani missed the ensuing free throw as part of an and-one as Baylor quickly answered. Griner converted a 3-point play seconds later to tie the game at 53 all.

Baylor answered with a 7-0 run to come back within one points at 39-38 before Baugh layed one home for a 41-38 UT edge with 16 minutes left in the game. Baylor took a short-lived lead at 42-41 on a Griner lay-up with 15 minutes left in the second half. Spani regained the edge with a layup just 16 seconds later.

The Lady Vols had a 17-2 run bridging the halves to build a lead of 39-31 with 17:39 left in the second half. Stricklen scored on a putback forcing Baylor to call timeout as UT took a seven-point lead (38-31) just 1:27 into the second half. Stricklen had eight of UT’s points in the spurt as the Lady Vols bounced back from a 29-22 deficit with four minutes left in the first half.

Tennessee led 33-31 at intermission as Spani canned a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left in the half. Stricklen had 19 points and seven rebounds in the first 20 minutes while Brittney Griner was limited to nine points and just three rebounds. The Lady Vols dominated the glass in the first half, holding a 34-19 advantage. That included 18 offensive rebounds as UT shot just 25 percent.

GAME 5#8 UT vs. Middle Tennessee // Nov. 29, 2011

GAME 6#8 UT vs. #21/22 Texas // Dec. 4, 2011

KNOXVILLE - A pair of freshmen, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale, each scored a career-high 14 points and keyed a pair of first-half runs as the No. 8 Tennessee women’s basketball team defeated in-state rival Middle Tennessee, 82-43, Tuesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena. Massengale logged just 23 minutes, but led the Lady Vols in both scoring for the first time in her career, tying Burdick. Massengale has led Tennessee (3-2) in assists in all five games to open her collegiate career, and had zero turnovers for the first time Tuesday night. Massengale, and UT’s other four starters, had a light night after controlling the action throughout the game’s entirety. Johnson played a starter-high 25 minutes and tallied nine points and nine rebounds. Despite the Lady Vols’ largest win this season of 39 points, UT matched its least amount of double-figure scorers this season with two. Senior preseason All-American Shekinna Stricklen also chipped in 12 points. Over the first 10 minutes of the second half, Tennessee extended its 48-24 halftime lead to a 62-30 margin and the Lady Vols never looked back. UT limited the Blue Raiders (4-3) to 19 points in the second half. Middle Tennessee was led by a game-high 16 points from Kortni Jones. Ebony Rowe also had 10 points for MTSU. In the first half, Middle Tennessee jumped out to a 5-2 lead before the Lady Vols scored 20 of the game’s next 22 points to take a 22-7 lead at the 11:47 mark, setting the tone for the rest of the game. During that stretch, Massengale played a role in 14 of UT’s 20 points, contributing nine points and assisting on a pair of baskets. The freshman standout also had one of her two steals in the run. She had already matched her career high with 11 points by halftime. The Blue Raiders responded with an 11-5 run to bring their deficit back within single digits at 27-18 with 7:08 left. UT reinforced its dominance, scoring 21 of the opening stanza’s final 27 points, to take a 48-24 halftime lead. Burdick scored all seven of her first-half points in the run as the Lady Vols’ 24-point advantage at intermission was their largest of the season.

KNOXVILLE — Clutch three-point shooting and powerful rebounding lifted #8 Tennessee to a 73-57 victory over #21/22 Texas on Sunday afternoon.

From three-point range Tennessee shot 52.4 percent, making 11-of-21 while being led by Shekinna Stricklen (20 points) and Meighan Simmons (10 points), who combined to make 8-of-16 from behind the arc. Stricklen was a career-high 5-of-9 from three-point land.

The Lady Vols (4-2) outrebounded the Longhorns (5-2), 49-38, led by Vicki Baugh’s 11 boards.

Baugh (17 points) and Glory Johnson (11 points and 10 rebounds) both posted double-doubles. Ariel Massengale also scored in double-figures with 10 points while handling out five assists.

The Longhorns were led by Ashleigh Fontenette and Chassidy Fussell, who tallied 22 and 14 points, respectively.

Stricklen’s fifth three-pointer of the game was the final dagger as it put Tennessee up 64-53 with 6:15 to play on a trey as the shot clock was winding down.

The Lady Vols held Texas scoreless for 6:20 late in the game as the Lady Vols went on a 10-0 run while forcing the Longhorns into five turnovers during the spurt. Texas ended the drought on Fontenette’s jumper with 2:40 left in the game, as the Longhorns had fallen behind by 16.

Down by as many as 14 early in the second, the Longhorns cut the deficit to six at 59-53 on a three-pointer by Chelsea Bass with 8:50 left in the second half. That would be Texas’ final points for more than six minutes. The Lady Vols answered as Johnson scored on a lay-up to start a run of 10 consecutive points. Tennessee forced Texas into a 30-second shot clock violation with 6:41 left in regulation with furious defensive pressure.

The Lady Vols picked up their shooting early in the second half and began to pull away, taking a 52-38 lead on a Baugh lay-up with 15:31 left in the game.

Tennessee led 41-32 at halftime thanks to some strong shooting from three-point range as UT knocked down 7-of-13 (54 percent) from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes. The Big Orange was led by Simmons, who was 3-of-5 with 10 first-half points. Baugh added 11 points in the first half along with five rebounds as the Lady Vols held a 29-18 rebounding edge at intermission.

UT expanded a 27-26 lead with 5:19 left to as big as 11 (38-27) with 1:28 left in the first half. Texas had drawn within one on a three-pointer by Fontenette before the Lady Vols went on an 11-1 spurt.

The Lady Vols return to action next Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York as Ten-nessee takes on #22 DePaul in the Maggie Dixon Classic. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPNU.

GAME 8#6 UT vs. #11 Rutgers // Dec. 13, 2011

NEW YORK - Glory Johnson scored 16 points and Cierra Burdick added 15 to help No. 7 Tennessee beat No. 20 DePaul 84-61 on Sunday in the Maggie Dixon Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Shekinna Stricklen added 12 points while Alicia Manning had season-highs of 12 points and 12 rebounds for the Lady Vols (5-2), who saw their 12-point halftime lead cut to 41-37 before using an 15-4 run to take control. Stricklen had six points during the burst.

Her layup made it 56-43 with 11:19 left and DePaul (8-2) couldn’t get within single digits the rest of the way.

Tennessee coach Pat Summitt was honored during No. 1 Baylor’s 73-59 victory over St. John’s with the Maggie Dixon Courage award. Summitt announced in August that she had been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Both the Lady Bears and Red Storm came out of their timeouts to applaud the winningest coach in college basketball.

Jasmine Penny scored 16 points and Keisha Hampton added 14 for DePaul.

It was the second time Tennessee played in the Classic named for the former Army wom-en’s coach. The Lady Vols beat Rutgers two years ago. The Scarlet Knights had played in all four of the previous Garden events. Army hosted Ohio State at West Point the first year.

The 28-year-old Dixon died April 6, 2006, of arrhythmia, probably caused by an enlarged heart. Her death came three weeks after she finished her first season as Army coach. She won the admiration of the academy and all of college basketball for leading Army to its first NCAA berth, where the Cadets lost in the first round to Summitt’s Lady Vols.

Tennessee was playing its first game without freshman point guard Ariel Massengale. She had started every game averaging 7.2 points and 5.8 assists.

She injured a finger on her left hand while diving for a loose ball at the end of practice on Thursday and will be sidelined for a few weeks.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - The sixth-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team used a pivotal 13-0 run late in the second half to propel the Lady Vols to a 67-61 victory over No. 11 Rutgers on Tuesday evening at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.

The sixth-ranked Lady Vols lost all of a 13-point lead and found themselves down by three before taking control with a late run to seal their 67-61 victory over the Scarlet Knights. Sophomore guard Meighan Simmons hit two clutch 3-pointers during the game-changing spurt.

Trailing 54-51 with 8:33 left, Tennessee (6-2) scored 13 straight points, holding Rutgers without a point for nearly 8 minutes. Vicki Baugh started the burst with a layup and Sim-mons hit consecutive 3-pointers to give the Lady Vols a 61-54 lead. Taber Spani hit another 3 with 1:52 left to seal the victory.

The game featured two Hall of Fame coaches with Pat Summitt and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. The long-time friends have combined for nearly 1,950 victories during their illus-trious careers. They stand first and third on the women’s basketball all-time victory list.

Summitt received a warm standing ovation from the crowd before the game and shared a long embrace with Stringer. Rutgers players wore warmup shirts that said “We Back Pat” in honor of Summitt’s battle with Alzeheimer’s. The school also presented Tennessee with a collage of Stringer’s favorite photos with Summitt and a commemorative jersey at the half. Tennessee held Rutgers scoreless over a 7:55 span as April Sykes connected from down-town with 38 seconds left. As the Lady Vols squandered free throw opportunities, the Scarlet Knights made things interesting, coming as close as 65-61 before a pair of free throws from Shekinna Stricklen sealed the victory for UT.

The Lady Vols got off to a quick start behind Stricklen. The senior preseason All-American had 10 straight points for Tennessee during one stretch. Her jumper with 5:48 left in the half gave the Lady Vols a 33-20 lead. That would be their last points before the half as Rutgers turned up its defensive pressure, scoring the final eight points before the break, including four by Sykes.

Rutgers continued the run to start the second half scoring 11 of the first 14 points. Sykes’ layup 2 1/2 minutes in gave Rutgers its first lead of the game at 37-36. Khadijah Rushdan’s basket moments later capped the 19-3 burst.

Neither team could pull away. Rutgers built a 54-51 lead on consecutive scores by Rushdan and a layup by Sykes with 8:33 left. That would be the Scarlet Knights’ final points until Sykes hit a 3-pointer with 35.9 seconds left that made it 64-57. Rutgers would get within four on Monique’s Oliver’s lay-in with 12.6 seconds left.

Rushdan finished with 16 points. Spani and Simmons each had 13 points for Tennessee.

GAME 9#6 UT vs. UCLA // Dec. 17, 2011

GAME 10#6 UT vs. #4 Stanford // Dec. 20, 2011

LOS ANGELES - Meighan Simmons scored 18 points, Glory Johnson added 17 and No. 6 Tennessee made 18 of its first 20 shots in beating UCLA 85-64 on Saturday.

Vicki Baugh had 14 points and 12 rebounds, Taber Spani added 14 points and Shekinna Stricklen scored 11 for the Lady Vols, who shot 36 of 52 (69.6 percent) from the floor -- not far off the school record of 72.1 percent against Old Dominion on Jan. 4, 1989.

Rebekah Gardner scored 15 of her career-high 24 points in the first half for UCLA (5-4), and Thea Lemberger and Markel Walker added 11 points each for the Bruins.

The win was the fourth straight for the Lady Vols (7-2) and their 18th in 19 meetings all-time against UCLA. It also raised Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt’s career record to 1,078-201.

The 59-year-old Hall of Famer, in her 38th season at Tennessee, is the only coach in NCAA men’s and women’s basketball history to reach 1,000 wins.

The Lady Vols never trailed, making their first eight shots, including three 3-pointers, for a 19-8 lead. The Bruins went on a 10-3 run to draw within four points before Tennessee had a 21-9 burst to make it 43-27. The Lady Vols then missed five of six shots, leaving them shooting 19 of 25 (76 percent) and with a 45-34 lead at halftime.

Tennessee outscored the Bruins 9-2 to begin the second half for a 54-36 lead. UCLA wasn’t closer than 13 points after that. A layup by Baugh with 7:29 remaining made it 74-52, with Tennessee shooting 32 of 43 (74.4 percent) from the field at that stage.

There were only four fouls called and just one free throw in the first half, and 17 fouls and 18 free throws in the game.

Tennessee played its third straight game without starting point guard Ariel Massengale, who dislocated her left middle finger during practice earlier this month.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) - Nnemkadi Ogwumike scored a career-high 42 points and dazzled in what might have been the most meaningful home game of her senior season, and No. 4 Stanford beat sixth-ranked Tennessee 97-80 on Tuesday night in one of women’s basketballs best rivalries.

The Cardinal extended their school-record home winning streak to 68 games at Maples Pavilion, where a sellout crowd of 7,329 waved red “We Back Pat” rally towels in support of Hall of Fame Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who revealed in August she has early onset Alzheimer’s.

Shekinna Stricklen scored a career-high 27 points to lead the Lady Vols, who had their five-game winning streak snapped.

Glory Johnson added 18 points, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals and Meighan Simmons scored 13 for Tennessee on a night Ogwumike put on a show for national television.

Ogwumike’s basket that hit the rim and bounced in with 10:59 left gave the Cardinal their first double-digit lead of the game at 65-55 - and they only built on that the rest of the way. Ogwu-mike’s two free throws with 3:49 left topped her previous best outing of 38 points on April 4, 2010, against Oklahoma.

Her sophomore sister, Chiney, added 14 points as the Cardinal shot 53.6 percent.

Tennessee shot a sizzling 61.5 percent in the first half to stay within 48-41 at the break before going a cool 37 percent in the second half to finish at 49.1 percent.

The Cardinal, riding a streak of four straight Final Fours without a championship, haven’t lost on their home floor at raucous Maples Pavilion since falling to Florida State in the second round of the NCAA tournament on March 19, 2007.

Stanford has beaten Tennessee three times during that span - also a 73-69 win on Dec. 22, 2007, and a 67-52 victory on Dec. 19, 2009. There also was that monumental 71-59 victory last Dec. 30 that snapped top-ranked Connecticut’s record 90-game winning streak.

Summitt walked onto the court a few minutes before tipoff to a rousing standing ovation from the sellout crowd.

Fellow Hall of Famer VanDerveer was shown on the main elevated center-court scoreboard of-fering her support to Summitt while acknowleding how much Stanford cherishes the rivalry and regular non-conference meetings with the Lady Vols.

VanDerveer said Stanford’s program “is behind her 100 percent.” Summitt was not yet on the court with her team to see the presentation.

“Pat, we love you, we care about you and we wish you the very best in your battle with Alzheim-er’s,” said the video with VanDerveer, who walked to the opposite bench to greet Summitt. They posed for a few photos together.

The Cardinal began the game 3 for 13 to 6 of 8 for Tennessee, which jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the opening 2:50.

The Lady Vols were whistled for a technical foul at the 11:18 mark of the first half for having six players on the court. Stanford converted both free throws to cut Tennessee’s lead to 16-15.

Tennessee freshman guard Ariel Massengale, who had missed last three games nursing a dislo-cated middle finger on her left hand that required minor surgery, entered the game for the first time with 10:45 left. The Lady Vols beat DePaul and won at both Rutgers and UCLA without her. Massengale practiced Monday in the Bay Area.

GAME 11#7/8 UT vs. Old Dominion // Dec. 28, 2011

GAME 12#7/8 UT at Auburn // Jan. 1, 2012

KNOXVILLE - Behind double-doubles from seniors Vicki Baugh and Glory Johnson, the seventh-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team topped Old Dominion, 90-37, Wednesday evening at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Lady Vols spent their practices since last week’s 17-point loss at No. 4 Stanford focused on regaining the defensive excellence that coach Pat Summitt expects of them. The result was a near perfect effort in a 90-37 win over Old Dominion on Wednesday night. “Tonight, it was about Tennessee,” associate head coach Holly Warlick said. “It was about what was across our chest. We focused on getting better. I think what we did today was indicative of how hard we’ve practiced on the defensive end.” Warlick estimated the team had spent all of two minutes total working on offense during practices on Monday and Tuesday. The coaches and players used the rest of the time to work on rebounding, pass deflections and preventing transition baskets -- all things that haunted them in the 97-80 loss to the Cardinal on Dec. 20. The Lady Vols (8-3) outrebounded the Lady Monarchs 54-32, limited them to 25 percent shooting, forced 23 turnovers and gave up just one basket on the fastbreak. Tennessee now has won 16 straight and 31 of the last 32 against the Lady Monarchs, whose 37 points was the lowest total scored by either team in the 45-game annual series. Tennessee appeared a bit rusty on the offensive end early against Old Dominion (3-10), which scored the first two baskets of the game. The Lady Monarchs were leading 8-7 when Alicia Manning hit a jumper with 16:14 in the first half that launched a 14-2 run to give the Lady Vols control of the game. Ariel Massengale, who hadn’t started a game since dislocating her left middle finger in practice Dec. 8, hit back-to-back 3s in the span of 28 seconds during the stretch. “I was really happy with our play at the very beginning because Tennessee is such a big place to play and it’s really big-time,” Old Dominion guard Jackie Cook said. “I was really proud of how we stepped up and played from the very start. We just couldn’t finish.” Tennessee took a commanding 50-20 halftime lead against Old Dominion by shooting 50 percent from the field and hitting 6 of 12 from 3. The Lady Vols turned the ball over just twice and posted 15 assists before the break. Their improved defense led to balanced offense, with Johnson logging 16 points and 11 re-bounds. Baugh had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Meighan Simmons added 12 points, Massengale scored 11, Isabelle Harrison had 10 and Alicia Manning grabbed 15 rebounds. “I like a game like this because we’re working on ourselves,” Johnson said. `We’re working on our-selves as a team and we’re trying to get better and work on our defense. We have so many things that we have to work on outside of the big games. We only have so much time.” Cook led Old Dominion with 13 points, as the Lady Vols managed to frustrate Old Dominion’s top player, Tia Lewis. Lewis entered the game averaging 18.1 points and 9.7 rebounds but finished with eight points, eight rebounds and four fouls. By the end of the game, Tennessee had scored 46 and had 26 points off turnovers. Old Dominion only scored eight points inside and had just a single point off the Lady Vols’ 11 giveaways.

AUBURN, Ala. - The seventh-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team opened the new year and SEC play with a 73-52 win against Auburn on Sunday afternoon at Auburn Arena, marking UT’s 34th consecutive SEC win dating back to the 2009-10 season.

The Lady Vols won going away in a game when their shots weren’t falling. Hounding Auburn into mistakes helped. Meighan Simmons scored 20 points and the Lady Vols (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 AP) closed on a big run. Tennessee (9-3, 1-0 SEC) came into the game last in the league in scoring defense, giving up 63.5 points a game, but forced 25 turnovers and had 12 steals. It was more than enough to earn the Lady Vols a 34th-consecutive SEC win. The Lady Vols closed the game on a 19-6 run to turn a tight contest into a blowout and win for the 27th time in the last 30 meetings with the Tigers (8-6, 0-1). Shekinna Stricklen added 17 points for Tennessee but was disgusted with her 5-of-18 shooting performance. Glory Johnson had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Alicia Manning scored 10 points. Simmons had 13 in the second half.

Camille Glymph led Auburn with 21 points, making 5 of 10 from 3-point range.

The Lady Vols struggled from the field, shooting just 32 percent (21 of 65) after coming in as the SEC’s second-best shooting team. However, they gave Auburn troubles on the boards and with a trapping defense that often forced the Tigers into hurried shots with the shot clock ticking down. Tennessee also dominated in rebounding 49-31. The Lady Vols turned a 31-29 halftime lead into a 14-point cushion midway through the second half. Johnson also boiled down the essence of Summitt’s halftime message.

“Basically, if we don’t get it together, we’re walking home,” she said. “And it’s a long walk. I figured this isn’t the way Tennessee plays. We know how to play and we’re not playing to our standards. When we’re not rebounding and settling for good shots instead of great shots, that’s what hap-pens.” Auburn managed to cut the 14-point deficit in half with Glymph hitting back-to-back 3s to make it 53-46 with 8 minutes to play. Then, Tennessee hit 7 of 8 free throws over the next 3 minutes to spark a 9-0 run and all but put the game away. The Lady Vols went 28 of 31 from the line to help overcome the poor shooting night.

GAME 14#6/7 UT vs. #16/15 Georgia // Jan. 3, 2011

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The #6/7 Lady Vols used a 30-0 run in the first half to run away with a 90-47 victory over Chattanooga on Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee moved to 10-3 with the easy win in its final home non-conference game this season. The Lady Vols will play their third game in five nights on Thursday as Georgia comes to Knox-ville for a 7 p.m., tip-off on CSS. Freshman Ariel Massengale (19 points) and Isabelle Harrison (13 points) each scored career-highs in the win as four Lady Vols scored in double-figures. Glory Johnson tallied a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 13 rebounds. Meighan Simmons also scored 10 points. For Johnson, it was her third straight double-double and sixth of the season.

The Lady Vols outrebounded the Lady Mocs, 55-28, while shooting 47.2 percent from the floor. Chattanooga was limited to just 30.4 percent for the game including 20.7 (6-of-29) in the first half. The game marked the return of junior guard Kamiko Williams, who missed the first 12 games recovering from a torn ACL. Williams played 16 minutes and had two points, four assists, two steals and three rebounds. The Lady Mocs (8-4) were led by former Lady Vol Faith Dupree, who had 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Tennessee led 10-8 with 16:34 left in the first half before that 30-0 run, which made it 40-8 with 5:48 left in the half on a jumper by Cierra Burdick.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - #6/7 Tennessee pulled away from #16/15 Georgia with a 32-9 run in the second half before 13,721 fans to post a 80-51 victory at Thompson-Boling Arena on Thursday night. Glory Johnson posted a double-double to lead four players in double-figures. For Johnson, her 22-point, 13-rebound effort was her fourth straight double-double I and sixth this season. The freshman Ariel Massengale nearly notched her first-career double-double as she tied her career-highs with 19 points and 9 assists. The Lady Vols improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the SEC with its fourth win a row. Georgia suf-fered just its third loss to stand at 12-3 and 1-1 in the league. The loss ended the Lady Bulldogs four-game win streak. Tennessee dominated the glass, holding a 52-32 edge on the boards led by Johnson. Vicki Baugh also hauled down 10 to go along with eight points. The Lady Vols’ defense was stellar in holding Georgia to just 34.9 percent from the floor including 4-of-21 from 3-point range. Meighan Simmons scored in double-figures for the seventh game in a row with 10. Shekinna Stricklen tallied 12 for her 12th game of the year with 10 or more. Tennessee went on a 24-6 run midway through the second half to take 68-42 lead with 7:16 left on Johnson’s 3-point play. The run expanded to 32-9 on a Cierra Burdick putback with a little more than two minutes left in the game, making it 76-45. The Lady Vols continued to pull away as Johnson converted a fastbreak 3-point play to give UT a 51-36 lead with 13 minutes left in the game. Simmons’ 3-pointer with 11:45 left made it a 17-point bulge at 57-40. Two beautiful fastbreak give-and-gos between Stricklen and Johnson in the final minute gave Tennessee a 36-27 lead at intermission. Massengale had 15 points in the first half to lead all scor-ers as the Lady Vols shot 52 percent. Down by as many as 11, Georgia cut the deficit to five on a 3-pointer by Meredith Mitchell with 2:05 left in the first half causing the Lady Vols to call timeout. Massengale continued her assault on the hoop with a putback lay-up with 3:51 left in the first half as Tennessee took a 30-20 lead. Vicki Baugh’s first basket of the game with 5:41 left in the first half put the Lady Vols up 28-19. Tennessee opened the game strong, taking a 20-11 lead in the first 8:13 as Massengale made her first four shots including two 3-pointers. The Lady Vols return to the hardwood on Sunday as Tennessee travels to Arkansas for a 3:30 p.m., match-up that will air on ESPNU and can be heard on the Lady Vol Network.

GAME 15#6/7 UT vs. Arkansas // Jan. 8, 2011

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Shekinna Stricklen made sure she went out in style in her last perfor-mance in her home state. Stricklen scored 19 points, and Glory Johnson recorded her fifth straight double-double, as Tennessee (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) routed Arkansas 69-38 on Sunday. The win was the 36th straight in Southeastern Conference play for the Lady Volunteers (12-3, 3-0), who opened the game with a 25-3 run and never looked back. Tennessee hasn’t lost an SEC game since a 53-50 loss at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010, and it was in no jeopardy of doing so while holding the Razorbacks to a season-low point total. Arkansas, meanwhile, remained winless in SEC play. The Razorbacks (11-4, 0-3) hit only 3 of 30 shots in the first half, and their 10-of-55 shooting for the game (18.1 percent) was the worst in school history. Stricklen, who starred in high school in Morrilton, Ark., scored what was a career-high 26 points in a win at Arkansas last season, and the Lady Volunteers’ leading scorer was equally impressive this time around. The senior scored six points early as Tennessee opened with a 14-0 run, including one of her two 3-pointers for the game. She finished 8 of 12 from the field and had eight rebounds in front on a sizeable and vocal cheering section behind the Tennessee bench. The strong effort came after Stricklen had shot just 32 percent over her last four games. Stricklen’s performance was hardly the only dominant one.

Johnson, who entered the game only four rebounds short of 1,000 for her career, didn’t need long to reach that mark against the Razorbacks (11-4, 0-3). She grabbed her fourth rebound and scored on a putback late in the first half to put Tennessee up 31-8 -- finishing with 15 points and 14 rebounds. The game was well out of hand at that point.

Arkansas didn’t score until Lyndsey Harris’ 3-pointer 6:24 into the game, and it opened 1 of 19 from the field. Harris, who finished with 14 points, hit two first-half 3-pointers, and the Razorbacks’ only other basket was a putback by Quistelle Wiliams. Arkansas’ previous worst shooting half was a 3-of-26 performance against Wichita State in 1981. Its previous worst game was 8 of 41 against Louisiana Tech in 1978. The Razorbacks entered the game shooting just 38 percent as a team for the season. The previous worst performance this season was a 17-of-53 effort against Florida State in November, but they managed to win that game 55-52. They had no such chance against the suffocating defense of Tennessee, which held Arkan-sas’ leading scorer C’eira Ricketts to two points on 1-of-11 shooting. Harris didn’t fare much better at 4 of 14. Johnson joined an elite group of Lady Vols to reach the 1,000/1,000 club. Also achieving 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in their UT careers were Chamique Holdsclaw, Sheila Frost and Tamika Catchings.
