TODAY’S GAME The #4/4-ranked and the SEC’s top-seeded Tennessee Lady Vols (28-2, 15-1 SEC) will continue play in their 31st conference tournament taking on a fearless and fi fth-seeded Vanderbilt Commodore (22-9, 9-7 SEC) team in the semifi nals on Mar. 6 at 3:30 p.m. ESPNU has the telecast. The winner will advance to the SEC Championship on Sunday, Mar. 7 at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN2. LADY VOLS AT A GLANCE This is the Lady Vols’ 36th season under Head Coach Pat Summitt… She starts a senior-less team for the fi rst time in her tenure... Summitt has compiled a staggering 1,033-195 overall record… 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 vic-tory 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 22-11 overall record and lost in the First Round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. This season, UT returned 10 letterwinners and welcomed a talented three player rookie class…The 2009-10 season marked the Lady Vol debut for freshmen: #4 Kamiko Williams, a 5-11 guard from Clarksville, Tenn., #13 Taber Spani, a 6-1 forward/guard from Lee’s Summit, Mo., and #34 Faith Dupree, a 6-3 forward/center from Knoxville, Tenn. (on Nov. 23 UT announced that Dupree would sit-out this season).

15 SEC TITLES – LOOKING FOR SEC TOURNEY CROWN #14 Tennessee’s win over Kentucky on Feb. 25 clinched the 2010 SEC Championship. It marked the 15th time that the Lady Vols have won the SEC regular season title and the fi rst time since 2007. In the regular season SEC fi nale victory over Ole Miss, the Lady Vols extended their SEC record to 15 wins. A new program highwater mark due to the revised 16-game SEC schedule. UT would love to win the “daring double” by tacking on an SEC Tournament title to go along with the regular season crown. There have been fi ve other times when UT won the regular season SEC title and went on to win the tournament championship: 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000.

OUR SCHEDULE THIS WEEK UT hopes to have an extended stay in the SEC Tournament in Duluth, Ga., before returning to the practice court next week in anticipation of the NCAA Tournament bracket announcement on March 15.

ON THIS DAY IN LADY VOL BASKETBALL HISTORY UT is 8-4 in games played on Mar. 6. The Lady Vols are 1-0 at home, 0-0 on the road and 7-4 on neutral courts. The last time out on Mar. 6, UT defeated Florida, 71-67, in the SEC Tournament in 2009.

LOOKING BACK Last year at this time, the #19/24-ranked and SEC fi fth-seeded Lady Vols were 22-9 (9-5 SEC) on the campaign after defeating 4th-seeded Florida, 71-67, in the Second Round of the 2009 SEC Tourna-ment in North Little Rock, Ark.

LAST TIME IN DULUTH The last time Tennessee played in the SEC Tournament in Duluth, Ga., was 2007. The #2/2-ranked and top-seeded Lady Vols defeated South Carolina in the Second Round, 81-63, but were upset the next day in the semifi nals by #10/11-ranked LSU, 63-54. Following the game, the team held an “ac-countability session“ in the locker room and called each other out in the loss. It seems to have helped. The Lady Vols then marched through the NCAA Tournament to title number seven in Cleveland, Ohio.

VU SERIES TIDBITS Tennessee and Vanderbilt have a storied past. This will mark the 63rd meeting between these SEC foes. No other team has recorded as many back-to-back games with the Lady Vols in single seasons since UT played Old Dominion home-and-home and in the postseason (practically every year) in the late 1970s and early 80s. Though the Lady Vols possess a dominant 55-7 advantage in the overall series, the last several years have brought a more competitive match-up as UT has edged Vandy 21-3 in the past 24 meetings. Vanderbilt and Tennessee met in the SEC’s tournament fi nals twice with UT winning in 1994 and VU triumphing in 1995. Over-all, UT is 8-2 in postseason meetings with Vandy.

FIRST 2010 MEETING WITH VANDERBILT The #22-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores came into Thompson-Boling Arena with upset on their minds but headed home to Nashville with a loss after the Lady Vols survived, 64-57, on Jan. 17, 2010. Tennessee started the contest hot, opening with an 11-3 run over the fi rst 4:43. The UT defense stifl ed the VU offense, not allowing a fi eld goal for over seven minutes and holding the Commodores scoreless from the 14:09 mark to the 6:36 point of the fi rst half. Over that stretch, UT built a 27-7 lead. The gold and black would not go down without a fi ght and rallied to within eight, 29-21, on a pair of free throws and three straight three point-ers with 4:45 to play in the half. Eighteen of VU’s 29 fi rst half points came from behind the arc. However, the Lady Vols went into the halftime break with the lead. Vandy began the second half by chipping away at the UT margin and forced the game’s second and fi nal tie, 45-45, at the 15:04 mark. UT would make fi ve of its fi nal six free throws to ice the win. Soph Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols with team-highs of 17 points and nine boards. She was 6-11 from the fi eld and 5-7 from the charity stripe. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain tossed in 14 points on a 6-7 shooting to go with nine boards. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was the third Lady Vol to post double digits as she added 10 points. UT was able to exploit Vanderbilt in two specialty stats. The Lady Vols turned 27 VU turnovers into 28 points and outscored the Commodores 30-12 in the paint.. VU was without second-leading scorer Jence Rhoads who was injured for the contest.

SECOND MEETING WITH VU IN 2010 The second 2010 Tennessee-Vanderbilt contest on Feb. 8, in Nashville, featured mini-runs by both sides, six ties and three lead changes, and the Lady Vols came out on top, 69-60. UT opened the game making six of its fi rst seven shots and building a 12-7 advantage at the fi rst media timeout. UT went cold and made only one of its next 15 shots and to fall behind 20-16. Vandy stretched its lead to 28-20 with 4:08 left in the half, but in their fi nal six possessions of the period, the Commodores would go 0-of-3 from the fl oor and turn the ball over three times. Over that span, UT got a pair of buckets and was 4-of-4 from the charity stripe to tie the game at 28 at the half. Vanderbilt opened the second half with a three-pointer and UT kept it close, but the Lady Vols would not get their fi rst lead of the fi nal 20 minutes until the 5:33 mark. Red-shirt sophomore Kelley Cain made a statement rejection of VU’s Gabby Smith and Alicia Manning picked up the loose ball and raced for a layup, putting UT up 52-51 and giving the Lady Vols the lead for good. The Orange made nine of its fi nal 11 shots and 6-of-8 free throws in the fi nal

1:04 to seal the win. Cain fi nished with a career-high 19 points, seven boards and fi ve blocks. Soph Glory John-son posted all of her 10 points and eight rebounds in 12 second half minutes. Junior Angie Bjorklund pitched in 10 points and four rebounds, while Alyssia Brewer added 10 points and seven boards off the bench.

FIRST TO SIXTY Today marks the 63rd meeting between the two cross-state and SEC rivals. Vanderbilt became the fi rst opponent to face UT more than 50 times and 60 times in a series and the fi rst opponent the Lady Vols have defeated 50 times in a series all-time.

UT-VANDY SERIES RANKINGS Typically, going into the Tennessee versus Vanderbilt match-up, the Lady Vols have entered the contest as the higher ranked team. In fact, in the last 42 meetings dating back to Jan.30, 1993, the Commo-dores have been ranked higher just six times. Going into that memorable oversold game on the Nashville campus in 1993, Vanderbilt was ranked number one while the Lady Vols were a step behind at #2.

FLOCKING FANS Tennessee and Vanderbilt love to attract the crowds on their campuses when the two teams meet.

VANDY’S SUCCESS VS. UT IN NASHVILLE Five of Vandy’s wins in the series have come at Memorial Gymnasium on the Nashville campus, while two of the Commodores seven victories over UT have come on neutral courts in the SEC Tourney.

SEC MEDIA DAY PREDICTION The Tennessee Lady Vols were predicted to fi nish fi rst in a pre-season vote of the coaches and second by the league’s media members attending the Tip-Off 2010. The coaches accurately predicted Tennessee (#1), Mississippi State (#3), Vanderbilt (#5) and Florida (#7).

SEC ANNOUNCES 2010 HONORS Four Tennessee Lady Vols were honored when the Southeastern Conference announced its 2010 women’s basketball awards as voted on by the league coaches. Junior Angie Bjorklund and redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain were named to the All-SEC First Team and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was named All-SEC Second Team. Cain also was rec-ognized with selection to the All-Defensive team, while sophomore Alyssia Brewer was selected as the league’s Sixth Woman of the Year and Bjorklund was tabbed as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. “I’m extremely proud of our four student-ath-letes for being recognized by the league coaches for their success this season,” said Head Coach Pat Summitt. “I believe this is a direct result of the invest-ment that our team made in the offseason both on and off the court, and shows the development our team has made in the past year. They have worked extremely hard at becoming better basketball play-ers and a better basketball team and this is a great reward for that effort.” Bjorklund was a unanimous choice to the All-SEC First Team and was joined on the squad by Cain. Bjorklund leads the team with 12.9 ppg in league action and has converted 42-of-101 three-point fi eld goal attempts. She is fi fth in the SEC mak-ing 41.6 percent of her three-pointers. After being named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Aca-demic All-America First Team, Bjorklund earned the SEC’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, becoming the fi rst Lady Vol to win claim the honor. Cain, who also earned All-Defensive Team accolades, set new school records for blocks in a game (12 vs. LSU on

Feb. 22) and for a season (101). The 6-6 post from Atlanta, Ga., leads the league in blocked shots (67 total, 4.5 bpg) and in fi eld goal percentage (65.8). Stricklen earned selection to the All-SEC Second Team by posting 12.01 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 3.6 apg in league action. The Morrilton, Ark., native scored in double fi gures in 11 of Tennessee’s 16 SEC games in 2010. She also posted Tennessee’s second triple-double ever with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists against #14/15-ranked Oklahoma on Jan. 3. Brewer was named Sixth Woman of the Year af-ter averaging 10.9 ppg and 6.5 rpg in conference games. The Sapulpa, Okla., native was seventh in the conference in fi eld goal percentage, converting at a 49.3 percent clip, and was seventh in blocked shots at 1.3 bpg. Brewer scored in double digits in nine of UT’s fi nal 11 SEC games.First Team All-SECAshley Houts, UGA, *Victoria Dunlap, UK, *Allison Hightower, LSU, Bianca Thomas, UM, Alexis Rack, MSU, *Angie Bjorklund, UT, Kelley Cain, UT, Jence Rhoads, VUSecond Team All-SECAlli Smalley, AU, A’dia Mathies, UK, Shekinna Stricklen, UT, LaSondra Barrett, LSU, Armelie Lu-manu, MSU, Kelsey Bone, SC, Valerie Nainima, SC, Merideth Marsh, VU All-Freshman TeamMorgan Toles, AU, Jennifer George, UF, Jasmine Hassell, UGA, *Jasmine James, UGA, *A’dia Ma-thies, UK, *Kelsey Bone, SC, Elan Brown, VU, *Tif-fany Clarke, VU All-Defensive TeamVictoria Dunlap, UK, Allison Hightower, LSU, Arme-lie Lumanu, MSU, Chanel Mokango, MSU, Kelley Cain, UT Coach of the YearMatthew Mitchell, UKPlayer of the YearVictoria Dunlap, UKFreshman of the YearA’dia Mathies, UKDefensive Player of the YearArmelie Lumanu, MSU6th Woman of the YearAlyssia Brewer, UTScholar-Athlete of the YearAngie Bjorklund, UT*Unanimous Selection

The Lady Vols have never faced Ar-kansas. (The SEC Offi ce record indicates that UT is 60-17 in SEC play. However, in the old format, there was a consolation game. In 1983, UT defeated Au-burn, 83-75, in the consolation fi nals.)

BOWING OUT EARLY There have been four trips to the SEC Tour-nament since 1980 when the Lady Vols didn’t even get to unpack their bags, losing in second round ac-tion after receiving a bye. In 1981, Alabama sent UT packing after a 77-71 loss; in 1984, Alabama again provided the honors with a 85-66 drubbing; in 1986, Ole Miss dealt UT a 83-78 loss, and in 1993, Geor-gia provided UT with an early exit from Chattanooga, 73-72.

UT AND AUBURN FIND A WAY TO MEET In UT’s 78 all-time SEC Tournament games, Tennessee and Auburn have battled in over one-sixth of the contests or 13 games. The Lady Vols sport an 9-4 record in SEC Tournament action against the team from The Plains.

TWO SEC TOURNAMENT MEETINGS WITH USCWhereas the Lady Vols have played Auburn

more times than any other SEC school in the Tour-nament, Tennessee has faced South Carolina the least number of times (two games, 2-0) outside of never having faced Arkansas at all. Ironically, the fi rst meeting with South Carolina was (previously) the ONLY time UT had to play on the Tournament’s fi rst day – in 1997. That year, UT defeated USC, 75-48, beat LSU in overtime, 100-99, and lost to Au-burn in the semifi nals. The Lady Vols would not lose again that season winning the 1997 NCAA title with

a 29-10 overall record.

SIXTY IS SLICK The Tennessee Lady Vols recorded their 60th win all-time in the SEC Tournament with the win over #21/18 Florida, 71-67, on Mar. 6, 2009. In 2005, UT grabbed win number 50 with the victory over #18/17 Vanderbilt, 76-73, on Mar. 5, 2005. Vanderbilt is a distant second in all-time SEC Tournament wins with 41 and Georgia stands third with 40 wins all-time.

18 TIMES IN THE FINALS

The Championship game against LSU in the 2008 SEC Tournament marked the Lady Vols 18th incredible trip to the fi nal round of the nation’s tough-est conference tournament. UT is 13-5 in all-time SEC Championship game meetings. In the 1990s alone, the Lady Vols were in the title game eight times (1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999) against fi ve different SEC teams. In that de-cade, UT won titles in fi ve of the years – 1999 vs. Georgia, 85-69, 1998 vs. Alabama, 67-63, 1996 vs. Alabama, 64-60 (without Chamique Holdsclaw due to a knee injury suffered in the opening minutes of play), 1994 vs. Vanderbilt, 82-57 and 1992 vs. Georgia, 73-66. The Lady Vols have won titles in 2008, 2006, 2005, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1996, 1994, 1992, 1989, 1988, 1985, and 1980. The Lady Vols amassed a 16-3 record in SEC games played in Chattanooga and brought home four titles from that venue (1994, 1996, 1999 and 2000).

DARING DOUBLES At the 2010 SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols will be attempting to accomplish something they haven’t done in 10 years, win the “daring double” of the SEC regular season and SEC Tournament titles. The last time UT accomplished the double was in the 1999-2000 season when UT won its sixth all-time D-D. Other years when the Lady Vols won dual crowns were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Only three other SEC schools have ever won both titles: Georgia (1983, 1984 and 1986), Auburn (1981 and 1987) and Kentucky (1982).

THE CENTURY MARK The Lady Vols have reached the century scor-ing mark four times in the SEC Tournament. In 1998, the Lady Vols derailed Vandy, 106-45. In the previous year, the Lady Vols scored 100 on LSU in overtime. Nine years earlier, in 1988, Tennessee nailed Kentucky for 100 points. And in the very fi rst SEC Tournament game in 1980, Tennessee crushed Florida, 118-44. That Florida team was then coached by former UT associate head coach Mickie DeMoss.

OUR SEC OVERTIME GAMES In 31 years and 78 games in the SEC Tourna-ment, the Tennessee Lady Vols have been involved in just two overtime contests. In 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee and Georgia met in the semifi nals on Mar.6. #20/16-ranked Georgia forced the overtime with the score knotted at 57-all. #1-ranked UT took a quick four-point lead but Georgia responded with a 7-0 run to take the 68-66 win and earned a trip to the title game. In Tennessee’s only other SEC overtime, in 1997, Tennessee snuck by LSU with a narrow 100-99 victory in overtime in second round play. In the next game, a weary UT squad lost a heartbreaker to Auburn, 61-59, in semifi nal action. The loss to Auburn was UT’s 10th on the season. It would be the last loss for the 1996-97 “Cinderella Season” team as they ran the table in the NCAA Tournament to claim NCAA title number fi ve.

AGAINST THE SEC Tennessee owns a 425-66 record all-time re-cord vs. 12 teams from the SEC. UT maintains a winning record against every team in the SEC.

SEC LEAGUE PLAY UT owns a league best record of 289-40 (.878) against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season.

16 SEASONS OF AT LEAST 10 SEC WINS After only winning nine SEC games in 2009, UT rallied and hit double-digits again in 2010. All-time, the Lady Vols have registered double-digit victories in conference play an incredible 16 times. Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play expand-ed, 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 and 2010- 15 wins.

ONESIES UT’s six single SEC games this season are: home versus Kentucky, Arkansas and Auburn and on the road at Georgia, Alabama and Miss. St.

TENNESSEE IN THE 16 GAME SEC FORMAT Tennessee won the fi rst SEC title under the new 16-game format for 2010. Previously, the SEC sched-ule had consisted of a 14-game schedule. The Lady Vols were picked to win the SEC by the coaches while the media had Tennessee fi nishing second behind LSU. In the new expanded format, the Lady Vols faced Florida, South Carolina, LSU and Ole Miss in home-and-home games this season, and Vanderbilt twice as the “natural rival” in SEC play.

AMAZING AT HOME VS. THE SEC Since Tennessee began contesting games with SEC opponents, the Lady Vols have produced a 178-12 record in home games. Only six SEC teams have ever managed a victory 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 defeat UT at home in the 21st century.

IT WAS INCREDIBLE From 1980-1997, the Lady Vols claimed a total of six SEC regular season titles in 17 years. From 1998-2004, Tennessee captured seven consecutive SEC regular season crowns producing an amazing 109-4 record. UT’s only league losses were to Vandy, Geor-gia and LSU (twice) during this stretch.

EIGHT WAS GREAT Over the years, eight Lady Vols teams have gone undefeated in SEC play: 1993, ‘94, ‘95, ‘98, 2001, ‘03, ‘04 and ‘07.

RARE SEC ROAD LOSSES FOR SUMMITT Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt’s teams rarely lose on the road in the SEC but last year was the exception with fi ve losses on the road against just two wins. Last year, the loss to Vanderbilt on Jan. 11, 2009 was the 30th SEC road loss suffered by a Summitt-coached Lady Vol team and halted a 17-game SEC road win-ning streak. Two weeks later, UT also lost, this time at #6/5 Auburn and two weeks after that #11/13 Florida defeated the Lady Vols. Add another two weeks and another SEC road loss for UT, this time a 66-56 deci-sion a the hands of the Kentucky Wildcats and a week

later it was a road loss at LSU, 63-61. This season, Georgia tagged the Lady Vols with a regular season SEC loss for the fi rst time since the Bulldogs prevailed 78-51 on Jan. 17, 2000. BJORKLUND NAMED SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK Angie Bjorklund was named SEC Player of the Week (Feb. 8-14) after leading UT to wins at No. 22-ranked Vanderbilt, 69-60, at Ole Miss, 61-58, and over Florida, 83-44. It is the fi rst time the Spokane Valley, Wash., na-tive earned the honor after being named SEC Rookie of the Week numerous times as a frosh. For the week, Bjorklund averaged team-bests of 15.3 ppg while shooting 41.5 percent from the fi eld and making 12-of-27 three pointers (44.4 percent).

STRICK HONORED AS SEC POW THREE TIMES Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Lady Vol Athlete of the Week for the third time this sea-son (Feb. 22-28) after leading the No. 4/4-ranked Lady Vols to a 3-0 week and clinching the 15th SEC regular season title in school history. For the week, Stricklen shot 63 percent from the fi eld, and averaged a team-best 15.0 ppg, to go with 6.7 rpg and 3.3 apg with wins over LSU, Kentucky and Ole Miss. She earned her second SEC honor (Nov. 30-Dec. 6). Against George Washington, Stricklen notched her fourth ca-reer double double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. She was 8-of-13 from the fi eld to help Tennessee to a 93-53 win. Against #17/17 Texas on Dec. 6, Strick-len tallied her 27th career double fi gure scoring game with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. She also added six rebounds and fi ve assists against the Longhorns. She was also named SEC Player of the Week and Lady Vol Athlete of the Week (Nov. 9-15) after leading the No. 8/9-ranked Lady Vols to a 74-65 win over the No. 7/4-ranked Baylor Lady Bears on Nov. 15. She scored 25 points, grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds, dished out fi ve assists and tallied three steals.

SEC COACHES TAB LADY VOLS The SEC unveiled its sixth annual women’s basketball preseason All-SEC fi rst and second teams, Thurs., Oct. 30.In the closet vote yet, Tennessee was predicted to win the SEC regular season champion-ship over LSU by one vote. The Lady Vols were 22-11, 9-5 in the SEC last season, while LSU fi nished 19-11, 10-4 in conference play. LSU senior guard Allison Hightower was named SEC Player of the Year. Joining Hightower on the All-SEC First Team were Arkansas’ C’eira Ricketts, Georgia’s Ashley Houts and Angel Robinson, LSU’s LaSondra Barrett, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Tennessee’s Angie Bjorklund and Shekinna Stricklen. Second team consists of Alli Smal-ley (AU), Porsha Phillips (UG), Victoria Dunlap (UK), Bianca Thomas (UM), Armelie Lumanu and Chanel Mokango (MSU), Glory Johnson (UT) and Merideth Marsh and Hannah Tuomi (VU).

UT PICKED NUMBER TWO BY MEDIA Tennessee was predicted to fi nish second in the SEC this season following a vote by a select media

panel while LSU was picked to win. Two Lady Vol players were recognized on the preseason All-SEC Team as the media picked sophomore Shekinna Stricklen for the First Team and junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund for the Second Team. LSU’s Allison Hightower was the over-whelming choice of the media for the Player of the Year. Preseason Media Poll :LSU 206, Tennes-see 190, Georgia 156, Vandy 126, Miss.

WORTH NOTING ABOUT TODAY’S GAME•The Lady Vols have won 12 consecutive

games since losing at (then) #8-ranked Georgia, 53-50 on Jan. 21, 2010 in Athens. •UT sophomore Kelley Cain is shooting .824 from the fi eld (14-17) in two games against the Commodores this season while leading the Lady Vols with 16.5 ppg and 8.0 rpg and a warrior-like 34 minutes per contest. Cain has been joined in extra digit scoring against the ‘Dores by fellow soph Glory Johnson tossing in 13.5 ppg and grabbing 8.5 rpg. Tennessee is grabbing just six more rebounds in two games (36.5 to 30.5). Vandy has lit up the three-point line against Tennessee in 2010 nailing .486 from the arc but shooting just 39 percent overall. • This will mark the ninth time that Tennessee will face Vanderbilt three times during the season. The Lady Vols have a 22-2 record in triplet meeting against the Commodores including 3-0 sweeps in 1982, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2005 and 2008. Vanderbilt denied Tennessee sweeps in 2001 (Commodores won the semifi nals vs. UT in the SEC Tournament) and 2002 (Vandy won in Nashville during the regular season). • UT and VU last met in an SEC Tourna-ment Second Round game in 2008. The Lady Vols knocked off the Commodores, 63-48, at the Sommet Center in Nashville. • Tennessee is 7-2 against Vanderbilt all-time in the SEC Tournament. The two teams have met in the semifi nals fi ve times (2008, 2005, 2001, 2000, and 1998). Tennessee won each of the semis ex-cept for the 2001 game in Memphis. The two teams have squared off in two SEC title games (1994 and 1995). Tennessee defeated Vanderbilt for the 1994 title, 82-57 but lost the 1995 SEC Championship to the Commodores, 67-61. The two other meetings were Second Round affairs both won by Tennes-see.

• Tennessee and Vanderbilt have both relied on some Georgia natives in their lineups this year. Tennessee sophomores Kelley Cain from Atlanta (St. Pius X H.S.) and Alicia Manning from nearby Woodstock (Etowah H.S.) are starters for the Big Orange, while Vandy rookies Tiffany Clarke (Duluth, Ga., Norcross H.S.) and Elan Brown (Atlanta, Ga., Woodward Academy) are making the most of their homecoming games in the Atlanta area.

OF NOTE ON THE SEASON •The win over Kentucky gave the Lady Vols the 15th SEC regular season title in Tennessee his-tory. The last time UT won an SEC regular season crown was in 2007 with a perfect 14-0 mark.

• Tennessee’s victory over Ole Miss provided the Lady Vols with their 16th season of at least 10

wins in SEC play. All-time, the Lady Vols have reg-istered double-digit victories in conference play an incredible 16 times since the 1991-92 season when SEC play expanded. • The Lady Vols have put yet another 20-win season in the books. With a victory over Arkansas on Feb. 4, it marked the 34th consecutive time a Lady Vol team reached at least 20 wins in a season under Coach Pat Summitt. • Tennessee has eclipsed 100,000 fans at home (198,289) for an amazing 16th consecutive year and currently averages 13,219 fans per game in Knoxville. On the road, UT has averaging 6,311 folks per game in hostile gyms. In neutral games, Tennessee has averaged 5,888 in two games • UT has gone from the outhouse to the pent-house in fi eld goal percentage in 2010. Last season, the Lady Vols averaged a program worst .413 from the fi eld. This season, Tennessee has fl ipped the fi eld and is averaging .464 shooting accuracy this season. • This year, the Lady Vols redeemed them-selves for a dismal (program worst) 2-5 SEC road campaign last season. Tennessee managed a 76-67 victory at Arkansas on Jan. 22, 2009 and fought for an 63-56 win over Mississippi State in Starkville on Jan. 29, 2009, producing the only SEC road W’s. This year, UT had a 7-1 SEC road record spoiled by the loss at (then) #8 Georgia, 53-50.

2009-10 WON-LOSS DIFFERENTIAL

THE LINE-UP CAROUSEL Against Ole Miss on Mar. 5, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt stayed with her 13th different line-up of the season with sophomore Alyssia Brewer starting ahead of classmate Glory Johnson. Summitt had been using the combination of Alicia Manning, Shekinna Stricklen, Angie Bjork-lund, Glory Johnson and Kelley Cain in games 2, 24, 25, 27 and 28 of late. Cain did not start in game 26 at Alabama since she did not make the trip in order to stay at home to attend classes. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen is the only common denominator starter from all 30 games this season. Last year, in the disappointing 22-11 cam-paign, Summitt tried 12 different line-up combi-nations with no “common denominator” players to start in all 33 games. In the two previous NCAA title years, UT utilized fi ve different line-ups in 2008 and only four line-ups in 2007. Sum-mitt changed the starters seven times in 2006 and a whopping 10 times in 2005. In that 2004-05 fruit-basket turnover line-up, there was no common denominator player for the fi rst time in fi ve years, either.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY STARTERS For the fi rst time in Pat Summitt’s 36-year coaching tenure at Tennessee, every single player on the 2009-10 active roster has been given the opportunity to earn a starting assign-ment this season.

2009-10 LINE-UP COMBINATIONS During the 2009-10 season, Tennessee has used 13 different starting lineups in 30 games.

LADY VOLS ON TV A record 27 of 29 Lady Vol regular season games were on television this season airing on ESPN2 (5 games), ESPNU (5), FSN/FSS and Sport-South (9), CSS (4), SEC Network (3) and MyNet-workTV (1). Upcoming TV games include: the SEC Tournament on FSS, ESPNU and ESPN2. The Lady Vols are 26-2 on TV this season. In the 2007-08 season, UT had a school record 36 total TV appear-ances.

SEC CHAMPIONSHIPS Coach Pat Summitt and her Tennessee Lady Vols have now won almost one-half of all SEC regular season titles ever contested in the league -- 15 out of 30. Tennessee has won league titles in 1980, 1985, 1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007,2010. Additionally, UT has captured 13 SEC Tournament titles.

15 SEC VICTORIES The win over Ole Miss on Feb. 28 was Ten-nessee’s 15th SEC victory of the year and eclipses 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 when the Lady Vol had 14 SEC win seasons.

WOULD LOVE TO GET THE DARING DOUBLE At the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols will be attempting to accomplish something they haven’t done in 10 years, win the “daring double” of the SEC regular season and SEC Tournament titles. The last time was in the 1999-2000 season when UT won its sixth all-time D-D. Other years when the Lady Vols won dual crowns were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Only three other SEC schools have ever won both titles: Georgia (1983, 1984 and 1986), Auburn (1981 and 1987) and Kentucky (1982).

HEY A-TOWN! Lady Vol sophomore Alicia Manning hails from Woodstock, Ga., a town outside of Atlanta and thus the nickname of “A-town.” A-town, a 6’1” guard/forward, has been nothing but downtown in the paint over the last three games averaging 11.7 rpg. She picked off a career high 14 boards in the 2010 SEC Second Round game vs. Ole Miss. In the fi nal regular season game against the Rebels, she gathered in 10 rebounds and one game prior to that she snagged 11 boards against Kentucky. She earned a spot in the regular starting rotation seven games ago and has been one of the most capable producers on the fl oor. During this stretch, she has averaged 28.1 mpg, scoring 9.3 ppg, grabbing 8.3 rpg. She has snagged 25 offensive boards and 32 defensive rebounds.

THREESIESPlaying an opponent three times during the

season usually presents some unique challenges since both teams are so familiar with each other. Over the years, the Lady Vols have faced the same opponent in three games 25 times. UT has man-aged to sweep or win the series 21 times. Tennes-see played Georgia four times in 1983 going 2-2; faced Tennessee Tech four times in 1977 (2-2) and a ridiculous fi ve times in the 1978 season going 5-0 after playing home, away, twice in holiday tourna-ments and once in the state tournament vs. TTU.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAUniversity of Tennessee Lady Vol junior Angie

Bjorklund has been named to the CoSIDA/ESPN

The Magazine Academic All-America Women’s Basketball First Team. The Spokane Valley, Wash., native boasts a 3.8 GPA in psychology and leads the Lady Vols in scoring. Bjorklund joins an elite group of former Lady Vols who have earned their way onto the prestigious fi ve-woman CoSIDA Aca-demic All-America First Team including Candace Parker (2008), Shanna Zolman (2006), Kara Lawson (2003), Tanya Haave (1984) and Jill Rankin (1980). Parker and Rankin additionally earned distinction as the CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year for women’s basketball. Several other Lady Vols have been named as second and third team Academic All-America players: Nicky Anosike (2008- second team), Peggy Evans (1992-third team), Tanya Haave (1983-third team), Lea Henry (1983-third team), and Candace Parker (2007-second team). “It is an incredible honor to be selected Aca-demic All-America,” said Bjorklund. “Academics are incredibly important to me and Coach Sum-mitt always stresses their importance. We are all student-athletes, with the student portion of our re-sponsibilities coming fi rst. I am extremely happy to be recognized for the hard work that I put into both my academics and my work on the court.” The sharp-shooting Bjorklund has climbed up the UT record books in a pair of three-point shooting categories. This season, she has moved up to third place with 213 career three-pointers and is currently second in the single-season record books with 83 triples made.

GET OUT THE BROOM This season, the Lady Vols have completed a winning sweep of Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Flori-da, LSU and Ole Miss in SEC play.

ANOTHER SWAT SCHOOL RECORD Tennessee’s single game team record for blocked shots had remained unchanged at 13 since Dec. 19, 1987 when UT set the mark against Eastern Kentucky. Until this week, that is... In back-to-back games versus LSU (Feb. 22, 2010) and Kentucky (Feb. 25, 2010), the Lady Vols rewrote the mark twice. UT knocked away 14 shots against LSU and then bettered the mark in the very next game reject-ing 15 Wildcat shots.

403 GAMES WITH A TRIPLE Against Ole Miss on Mar. 5, the Lady Vols made a three-pointer for the 403rd consecutive game; the last time UT did not make at least one three was Jan. 21, 1999, at Florida. UT won that game 77-64.

EVERY MOMENT IS A TEACHING MOMENT UT coach Pat Summitt is fond of using that little saying. Some of those teaching moments have be-gun to pay off. Junior Angie Bjorklund is a three-year starter and is enjoying her best season to date. She has already bettered the scoring of her fi rst two

AMAZING SUMMITT NUMBERS •Summitt has faced 160 opponents in 1,228 total games and teams from 35 conferences •47% of her 1,228 total games have been played versus ranked teams (580 total games against ranked opponents) with 422 victories versus ranked opponents •156 all-time Lady Vols have contributed to 1,033 wins. •72% of those all-time players have gone on to be decorated as Olympians, All-Americans, USA National Team members, All-SEC perform-ers, Academic All-Americans, Academic All-SEC, etc.


SEC Game Notes • #1 Tennessee vs. #5 Vanderbilt • Mar. 6, 2010 seasons, 318 and 344. She has 430 points in 30 games. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer has been called the “Most Improved Player” on the team by Sum-mitt. Brewer shot just 41% (73-178) from the fi eld last season and is shooting 54% (125-228) this year. She has improved upon 194 points in 33 games as a rookie to 295 in four fewer games as a sophomore. Up and down the line, Kelley Cain, Alicia Manning, Glory Johnson have all shown a dramatic improve-ment in their stats.

ANGIE B JOINED THE 1,000 POINT CLUB Lady Vol junior Angie Bjorklund joined the 1,000 career point club with her fi rst basket at Ole Miss on Feb. 11. She scored 318 points as a rookie and 344 as a sophomore. This season, she has 430 to date for a career total of 1,092. She became the 34th all-time player to reach the 1,000 point club.

LYSSI ON A ROLLSophomore post Alyssia Brewer has stepped

up since the loss at Georgia producing 10 of 12 double-fi gure scoring game (including six consecu-tive) and is averaging 13.1 ppg and 7.0 ppg during this stretch. Her streak was snapped against Florida in Knoxville with just four points but her all around play was really solid gathering fi ve rebounds, dish-ing two assists, blocking four shots and grabbing a steal in 24 minutes. She bounced back at Alabama with 20 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots and tossed in 18 points and grabbed six boards off the bench against LSU.

LEADING AT THE BREAKThe Lady Vols have led at halftime in 23 of 30

games this season. The Lady Vols trailed 24-26 after the opening 20 minutes against Baylor but prevailed 74-65. Nikki Caldwell’s UCLA Bruins snagged a 27-25 halftime lead but were outscored by the Lady Vols 36-20 in the second stanza. In the second meeting with South Carolina, the Gamecocks led 26-35 at the break but were outscored 35-29 in the second half in the come-from-behind win. Tennessee was tied at 30 with Georgia on Jan. 24 in the 53-50 loss. Tennessee was tied at 28 with Vanderbilt on Feb. 8 in the 69-60 win in Nashville. At Ole Miss, the Lady Rebs raced out to a 30-25 halftime advantage. The only game Tennessee has lost while trailing at the half was to Stanford. The Cardinal grabbed a 30-18 halftime lead and took a 67-52 win over the Lady Vols. On aver-age, UT holds a 35.6 to 26.8 halftime lead. The Lady Vols have outscored the opposition 38.6 to 29.8 in the second stanza.

TAKE PRIDE IN BOARD PLAY Through 30 games, Tennessee has been out-rebounded only twice -- by Stanford, 44-34 and at Alabama by a whopping 45-33 margin. Overall, the Lady Vols are doing a better job on the boards this season holding an +9.0 rebounding advantage, 43.1 to 34.1.

REJECTIONS IN THE RECORD BOOK Sophomore post Kelley Cain Cain set a new UT single season blocked shot record against Ole Miss on Feb. 28. She now has 103 for the year; she topped the mark of 99 set by former Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Candace Parker in the 2006-07 season. In less than two seasons, she is in the UT record books with 145 career blocks; Nicky Anosike is fi fth with 161. Before smashing the UT re-cord with 12 rejections vs. LSU on Feb. 22, Cain tied the UT single -game blocked shot mark with eight swats against Arkansas on Feb. 4. Ashley Robin-son recorded eight blocked shots against Rutgers on Dec. 11, 2003. Cain had 49 blocks in 27 games last season and has recorded 103 in 28 games this season. Currently, she ranks in 2nd place with 152

all-time and passed Lady Vol great Chamique Hold-sclaw (111 blocks). All-everything Candace Parker is the Lady Vol career leader in blocks with 275 in three seasons.

IF UT DOESN’T IMPROVE... The Lady Vols have been woeful at the char-ity stripe in 16 SEC games hitting just 64.9 percent. Glory Johnson, Kelley Cain and Alyssia Brewer have made more than 40 trips to the line in these games and are shooting 56.8, 52.7 and 65.3 percent, re-spectively. In the couple of weeks, Coach Pat Sum-mitt has instituted a no-talking policy while practicing free throws and it paid off against Kentucky as UT hit 25 of 27 for 92.6 percent. Tennessee is also typi-cally known for generating steals... the theft count is at just 6.0 per SEC game.

BJORKLUND MOVING THE CHAINS Tennessee junior sharpshooter Angie Bjork-lund has climbed into sole possession of third place on the Tennessee three-point career charts. She has 217 made treys for her career. Kara Lawson in second with 256 and Shanna Zolman leads the pack with 266 career threes.

INSIDE - OUT Tennessee has staked a claim in the paint this season behind 6’6” redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain. The Lady Vols failed to dominate the paint in three games, Stanford, South Carolina (in Knoxville) and at Alabama (without Cain). In the contest against the Cardinal, SU scored 26 paint points to the Lady Vols’ 20. Versus South Carolina in the SEC opener, the Gamecocks outscored UT, 28-26. Alabama crammed 40 points down UT’s throat (to just 36 for the Lady Vols). UT scored a season high 54 points in the paint versus George Washington and held San Francisco to just two points in the paint. This sea-son, UT averages 34.8 ppg in the paint out of a total of 74.4 ppg overall.

GIVE THE ZONE CREDIT Tennessee, not known for playing much (if barely any) zone defense, has become a pretty good zone defender this season. UT’s length, start-ing with the 82” wingspan of Kelley Cain, and talk-ing their action has made the Lady Vol zone pretty active. At LSU, the Lady Tigers managed to hit just 26% (14-53) from the fi eld. Despite Georgia win-ning, the Lady Bulldogs connected on just 16-44 from the fi eld for 36%.

RANKED TIDBITS Tennessee is 9-2 against ranked opponents this season in 30 total games played. The Lady Vols opened the season with a 74-65 win over #7/4-ranked Baylor... took a 77-63 win on the road at #12/17-ranked Virginia, knocked off #17-ranked Texas, 78-58, lost to #2-ranked Stanford, 67-52, defeated #14/15-ranked Oklahoma, 96-75, turned back #nr/22-ranked Vanderbilt, lost at #8 Georgia on Jan. 21 in Athens... rebounded with a 55-43 vic-tory at #18/19 LSU on Jan. 24. UT also beat #22 Vanderbilt in the second meeting of the season, 69-60, as well as #20-ranked LSU in the second meet-ing, 70-61. UT dropped #16/14-ranked Kentucky in Knoxville on Feb. 25, 81-65. SHE SAYS DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Lady Vols were challenged to turn up the defensive intensity against a traditionally good shooting Vanderbilt team in Knoxville. Going into the Vandy game on Jan. 17, only one opponent had managed to shoot better than 40 percent from the fi eld against UT -- Oklahoma (.446). Vanderbilt joined the list by ringing the Lady Vols up for a .429 shooting day including .435 from three-point land.

SEC Game Notes • #1 Tennessee vs. #5 Vanderbilt • Mar. 6, 2010 UT ranks fi rst in the SEC and fourth in the na-tion in fi eld goal defense allowing the opposition just 34.5 percent accuracy from the fi eld.

WARLICK IS THIRD LONGEST TENURED UT associate head coach Holly Warlick is the third most-tenured assistant coach in women’s collegiate basketball according to a recent survey. Warlick has been on the Lady Vol sidelines for 25 years as a Pat Summitt staffer and ranks behind Annette Rocheleau of Montana (29 years) and Carol Peschel of UNC Greensboro with 26 seasons. Warlick is joined by Connecticut’s Chris Dailey and Stanford’s Amy Tucker in the silver anniversary club. The survey found that a dozen staffers had been at their institution as an assistant for over 20 years. Warlick also spent four seasons as a Lady Vol All-American and Olympian from 1976-80.

100,000 FANS... AGAIN The Lady Vols have eclipsed 100,000 fans at home games for the last 16 consecutive years. A total of 198,289 folks have attended 14 games at home this season for an average of 13,219. A sea-son high 16,645 showed up for the Vanderbilt game on Jan. 17. STEPHANIE GLANCE SUBS IN FOR COACH D

Lady Vol assistant basketball coach and recruiting coordinator Daedra Charles-Furlow, af-fectionately known as “Coach D,” announced on Dec. 1 that she is dealing with medical issues. In her sideline coaching and recruiting absence, bas-ketball staffer Stephanie Glance was activated to both coach and recruiter when Charles-Furlow was unable to make the pre-Christmas trip to the West Coast. “I am dealing with some personal medical is-sues at this time,” said Charles-Furlow. “It is pos-sible that there may be times when I am unable to travel. For that reason, I decided to make this an-nouncement since it will affect my duties as recruit-ing coordinator.” A former Lady Vol Olympian and All-American, Charles-Furlow joined the Lady Vol staff in May 2008 replacing Nikki Caldwell who ac-cepted the head coaching position at UCLA. “Dae-dra’s health and well-being is our fi rst concern,” said head coach Pat Summitt. “During the next several months she needs to be focusing on her health. For that reason, I will be designating my special assis-tant, Stephanie Glance, to fi ll this temporary role.”

LADY VOL STREAKS The Lady Vols last loss at home was against Duke, 62-54, on Feb. 16, 2009, since then UT has won 17 home games. The last time UT lost on the road was on Jan. 21, 2010 at Georgia, since then, UT has won fi ve road games. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Ball State, 71-55, in the 2009 NCAA First Round game on Mar. 22, 2009. Since that time, UT is 3-0 on a neutral court.

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

team benches.

300 WINS IN TBA Tennessee recorded its 300th win in Thomp-son-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 322-20 (.942) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 22-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced nine 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) and 2002-03 (16-0). UT also registered an NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.

JUST 20 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 cam-paign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons. The 20 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 10 teams: Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Georgia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stanford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

HOME SWEET HOME -- OVER 400 HOME WINS The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Sum-mitt took over as head coach in 1974. Summitt has won 91.4 percent of all home games in 36 years producing a 472-45 overall record. Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athletics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

100 POINT GAMES Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 70 times. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games to lead the NCAA.

IN OVERTIME Tennessee is 27-17 all-time in overtime games. 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 affair was a 79-69 win over Stanford on Dec. 21, 2008, at home.

OVER 500 GAMES VS. RANKED Tennessee’s game versus #12 Georgia on Feb. 16, 2006 was the Lady Vols’ 500th all-time ver-sus a ranked team since the inception of the polls in 1976. UT is an amazing 421-157 (.725) versus ranked teams. The 2008-09 Lady Vols were a dis-mal 4-8 versus ranked teams.

ELITE COMPANY Rookie forward/guard Taber Spani be-came the 13th Lady Vol player to start her very fi rst game as a Lady Vol when she started against Baylor. Last season, when Coach Pat Summitt started freshmen Shekinna Stricklen and Glory Johnson against San Francisco, it marked only the 11th and 12th time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very fi rst game at Tennessee. The list of open-ing day rookie starters: Taber Spani 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Parker, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jack-son 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Hold-sclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.

THE NOD Last season, 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 becoming the 53rd-57th freshmen to earn the honor. Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start dur-ing 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 freshman 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 during 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 rook-ies. The 2001-02 rookie class found three play-ers earn a starting nod as Loree Moore, Shyra Ely and Brittany Jackson all started at some point in their rookie careers.

● Jenny Moshak, University of Tennessee Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, announced on Jan. 8, 2010, that Lady Vol basketball junior forward Vicki Baugh will sit out this season. “Drs. Greg Mathien and Russell Betcher, UT team orthopaedists, performed surgery on Vicki’s left knee this afternoon at UT Medical Center,” said Moshak. “The surgery addressed a meniscus tear and a partial medial meniscectomy was performed.” Baugh had been rehabbing her left knee since undergoing a second anterior cruciate ligament surgery on Feb. 24, 2009 and had hoped to return this season. According to Moshak, Baugh’s surgery went well today and she will begin rehabilita-tion of the knee immediately. Typical recovery generally ranges four to six weeks. “Vicki had been making solid progress up until early December when she felt her knee move awkwardly,” said Moshak. “She began to experience swelling and diagnostic testing revealed meniscal damage which was repaired today. “The good news, in the words of her doctors, is that the ACL looks pristine. That is outstanding!” said Moshak. On Feb. 2, 2009, the 6-4 forward from Sacramento, Cal., re-injured her ACL in an 80-70 loss at #2-ranked Oklahoma. The injury occurred during the second half as Baugh was helping her Lady Vol team rally against the Sooners. Dr. Greg Mathien diagnosed the ACL tear on Feb. 3, 2009 and Drs. Mathien and Betcher performed surgery on Feb. 24, 2009, to address the ACL revision and repaired a medial meniscus tear of her knee. A key member of the squad heading into her sophomore season, she had seen very limited action since suffering a sprain of the knee in practice on Jan. 1, 2009, in preparation for the game at Rutgers. In the 2008-09 campaign, she played in 14 games and started 10. She was averaging 6.5 ppg, 7.3 rpg prior to the injury. The February 2009 incident was Baugh’s second ACL injury. She was injured in the last game of her 2007-08 rookie season, in the 2008 NCAA title game versus Stanford. Baugh’s slashing-through-the-key lay-up gave the Lady Vols a double-digit lead (55-44) that they would not relinquish down the stretch en route to NCAA Championship number eight. Unfortunately for Baugh, that was the play when the injury occurred to her left knee. On April 11, 2008, an MRI confirmed that Baugh had torn her ACL and she had surgery on May 13, 2008. During her freshman season, Baugh played in all 38 games helping the Lady Vols to a 36-2 record. She averaged 5.3 ppg and 4.0 rpg in 13.1 minutes per contest. She shot a team best 55.2 percent from the field (79-143) and knocked in 77.8 percent of her charity tosses. She recorded six games in double-digits scoring including a season high 12 point effort versus Purdue in the NCAA Tournament. Baugh had a monster game on the boards against Louisiana Tech hauling in 16 rebounds. With Baugh’s status now known, Tennessee is down three post players for the re-mainder of the season as 6-3 freshman post Faith Dupree is sidelined with back problems and 6-1 sophomore Amber Gray is recovering from both shoulder and brain surgeries.

● Has 10 career double digit scoring games and seven career double figure rebound con-tests

Exhibition #1: Carson-NewmanNov. 5, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.

Thompson-Boling Arena (12,363)

EXHIBITION 1: CARSON-NEWMAN Six players reached double fi gures and No. 8 Tennessee defeated Carson-Newman 124-34 in an exhibition game Thursday night in Thompson-Boling Arena. Sophomore Glory Johnson led the way with a game-high 22 points and 10 rebounds, and junior Angie Bjorklund scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting before making her exit midway through the second half. At one point after halftime, Bjorklund had scored more points than Carson-Newman. “We wanted to focus on what the team brought at both ends,” UT coach Pat Summitt said. “Last year, we would sometimes play down to the level of our competition. Tonight, we maintained our intensity. Last year, we’d get a lead and think the game was over. Tonight, we were thinking execution.” Freshman guard Taber Spani started and scored 17 points in her fi rst game as a Lady Vol. Alicia Manning added 18 points, and Kelley Cain had 16 points. Shekinna Stricklen chipped in 12 points, 10 of which came in the fi rst half. No other freshmen played until forward Kamiko Williams, who scored two points on 1-of-2 shooting, entered with about 6:21 remaining in the game. Faith Dupree did not play. For the game, Tennessee hit 62 percent of its shots from the fi eld, including a 45-percent clip from beyond the 3-point line. Bjorklund and Spani both hit a team-high three 3-pointers. The Lady Vols opened the game on a 16-3 run and cruised to a 64-18 lead at halftime, thanks in large part to 18 fi rst-half turnovers by Carson-Newman. Tennessee scored 22 points off turnovers in the opening half and used their considerable size advantage inside to outscore the Lady Eagles 34-8 inside over the same span. The Lady Vols defeated Carson-Newman 135-55 in an exhibition game last year and have now scored more than 100 points in fi ve of their last six exhibition games against the Division II school. “Overall, I was pleased,” Summitt said. “We played well together. Sometimes our defense was too tight. We weren’t perfect, but we’ve got some good fi lm to look at.”

Exhibition #2: Delta StateNov. 9, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


EXHIBITION 2: DELTA STATE Kelley Cain breezed to a double-double Monday night in a 79-46 exhibition victory over Delta State in Thompson-Boling Arena. Cain, who fi nished with a game-high 20 points, 20 rebounds and seven blocked shots in just 19 minutes of play, loomed large over the Lady Statesmen, whose tallest player still gave up four inches to Tennessee’s 6-foot-6 center. “When she’s playing that way, you can’t stop it,” Lady Vols guard Angie Bjorklund said. “Having that inside presence really helps us, especially in the outside game. Coach (Pat) Summitt says that you win with rebounding and defense and she’s a huge part of that.” Tennessee opened on an 11-0 run and used another 11-0 run to take a 22-5 lead early in the fi rst half. Delta State, ranked No. 4 in Division II, made a couple charges in the second half but never seriously posed a threat. “I wasn’t real impressed with what did in the fi rst half,” Summitt said. “We played in spurts in the second half. The bright spots for us were Kelley Cain and Taber Spani.” Despite coming off the bench in favor of sophomore Glory Johnson, Spani notched a double-double of her own with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Seven of those boards came on the offensive end. “Taber is just a player,” Summitt said. “She just wants to play. It doesn’t matter where. She has a great feel for the game.” Angie Bjorklund scored 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting, while Shekinna Stricklen added 10 points and nine boards. Johnson fi nished with seven points on 2-of-6 shooting with two blocks and fi ve rebounds. Freshman Faith Dupree made her Lady Vols debut Monday, but failed to score in 10 minutes on the court. She did record a block and two steals. Point guard Bug Cooper paced Delta State with 15 points, but the Lady Statesmen shot just 26 percent from the fi eld and turned the ball over 19 times. Tennessee and Delta State last played in 1979 before Monday’s exhibition, but the two programs met in the 1977 AIAW Final Four where the Lady Statesmen defeated Tennessee to claim their third consecutive AIWA national title.

Game #1: #7/4 BaylorNov. 15, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 1: #7/4 BAYLOR The Tennessee Lady Vols offi cially opened the 2009-10 season against the No. 7/4-ranked Baylor Bears, and as in 33 other season openers under Head Coach Pat Summitt, the Lady Vols came away with a win, 74-65. Leading the way for Tennessee was sophomore Shekinna Stricklen, who played all 40 minutes on her way to her third career double double. The Morrilton, Ark., native scored 25 points - one off her career high - and grabbed 14 rebounds, establishing a new career best. Stricklen also dished out fi ve assists and grabbed three steals on her way to Player of the Game honors. The Lady Vols got off to a quick start, building a 10-3 lead nearly four minutes into the contest. However, the Lady Vols shooting would go cold as the Lady Bears took a 26-24 lead into the lockerroom. While UT mustered only 28.9 percent from the fi eld in the fi rst 20 minutes, the Lady Vol defense limited Baylor to only 29.2 percent shooting. The second half belonged to Tennessee, as the Lady Vols outscored Baylor 50-39 in the fi nal stanza. In addition to Stricklen, center Kelley Cain posted 13 of her 15 points in the second half. The Lady Vols used a 16-0 run from the 1:02 mark of the fi rst half to the 16:16 point of the second half to transform a six-point defi cit (20-26) into a 10-point lead (36-26). Junior Angie Bjorklund was the third Lady Vol to fi nish with double fi gures as she posted 13 points. Her three three-pointers moved the Spokane Valley, Wash., native into a tie for fi fth all-time with Sidney Spencer in the Tennessee record books with 133 career triples made. Sophomore Glory Johnson was the only Lady Vol to fi nish with more than four points. The Knoxville native tallied nine points to go with seven rebounds and four steals in 33 minutes of action.

Game #2: vs. Texas TechNov. 17, 2009 • San Antonio, Texas

AT&T Center (4,586)

GAME 2: TEXAS TECH The Tennessee Lady Vols made their fi rst road trip of the season and handed the Texas Tech Lady Raiders a 91-53 loss at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The two sides squared off as part of the ESPNU “Road to the Championsip” - the 2010 NCAA Final Four will be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Lady Raiders grabbed the early lead, going up 6-2 just over four minutes into the contest. The Lady Vols would respond in a big way. Tennessee went on a 24-2 tear over 10:55 to build a 26-8 lead with just under fi ve minutes to play before the halftime horn. Leading the way for UT in the fi rst stanza were sophomores Shekinna Stricklen and Glory Johnson, who each tallied nine fi rst half points and fi ve rebounds. Johnson fi nished the contest with 17 points and six boards, while Stricklen tossed in 16 points, pulled down seven boards and dished out fi ve assists. Tennessee was not about to let up in the second half, and opened the second period on a 32-4 run over the fi rst six minutes of the half. Junior Angie Bjorklund keyed the run with nine points on three three-pointers over a mere 25 seconds, giving UT a 51-21 lead with 15:56 to play. For the game, the Lady Vol offense was not dependent solely on Johnson and Stricklen. Bjorklund fi nished with 14 points - all of which came in the second half - to go with four boards and two assists. Leading the way for the Lady Vols with a game high 18 points was freshman Taber Spani, 14 of which came in the second half. After shooting just 1-of-3 in the fi rst half, the rookie was 4-of-6 in the fi nal 20 minutes and also pulled down six boards. Sophomore Alicia Manning started her fi rst game of the season, and tallied eight points and a game high nine rebounds. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain grabbed eight boards and added seven points, while freshman Faith Dupree fi nished with six boards, fi ve points and three assists in 18 minutes.

Game #3: at #12/17 VirginiaNov. 22, 2009 • Charlottesville, Va.John Paul Jones Arena (11,895)

GAME 3: #12/17 VIRGINIA Junior Angie Bjorklund was feeling it on Sunday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena against #12/17 Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. Monica Wright, the Cavaliers preseason All-American, said so. “She tore it up tonight. She was just so hot,” said Wright. Bjorklund fi nished with a game high 24 points, including fi ve three pointers in leading the #6/5 Lady Vols to a 77-63 win in a hostile JPJ Arena on Nov. 22. It was the Spokane Valley, Wash., native’s 34th career double digit scoring game and the seventh outing in her time at Rocky Top that she has scored at least 20 in a game. Bjorklund’s shooting from beyond the arc was instrumental for the Lady Vols. Midway through the fi rst half, she scored six points in 21 seconds to give UT a 32-19 lead. Not even two minutes into the second half, the Cavaliers had cut the Tennessee lead to 42-39, when Bjorklund converted a four-point play which silenced the record-crowd of 11,895. On the next play at the defensive end, she grabbed the rebound, came down the fl oor and found freshman Taber Spani for a three-pointer to put UT up 49-39. A trio of Tennessee sophomores also had a big impact on the win. Knoxville native Glory Johnson scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. In addition, Johnson was charged with defending Wright, who scored 35 against UT a year ago, but was held to 21 this time around. Shekinna Stricklen scored 20 points - her sixth career 20-point plus performance - grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a season-high six assists. Center Kelley Cain was limited to only six points, but her inside presence opened the perimeter up for the Lady Vol guards.

Game #4: at Middle TennesseeNov. 25, 2009 • Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Murphy Center (11,802)

GAME 4: MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE For the fi rst time in 30 years, the Tennessee Lady Vols traveled to Murfreesboro to face the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Sophomore Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols to a 69-52 victory with a career high 21 points and 12 rebounds. It was the Knoxville native’s sixth career double double and her second career 20-plus point performance (she scored 20 points on Feb. 5 last season in a 73-43 win over Georgia). Tennessee grabbed a 2-0 lead on an Angie Bjorklund jumper. MTSU responded with a Chelsia Lymon three-pointer. Lady Vol rookie Taber Spani converted a layup at the 18:50 mark of the fi rst half and UT would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game. The Lady Vols used an 8-0 run to build a 30-20 lead with 3:58 and held the Blue Raiders to only two fi eld goals in the last 7:18 of the fi rst stanza as Tennessee fi nished the fi rst 20 minutes on a 13-4 run and went into the lockerroom with a 35-24 lead. Middle Tennessee got to within 10 of the Lady Vol lead, 41-31, with 15:50 remaining on a Lymon three-pointer. Tennessee responded with a three pointer of its own by Spani off an assist from Bjorklund. In addition to Johnson, Bjorklund and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen each tallied double fi gures. Bjorklund tossed in 16 points, while dishing out fi ve assists and grabbing three steals. Stricklen fi nished with 12 points, four assists and three rebounds. Helping clean up on the glass was redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain, who pulled down 11 rebounds and pitched in six points. The Murphy Center on the MTSU campus saw its fi rst ever sellout for a women’s game, drawing a standing room only crowd of 11,802, just fi ve spectators shy of the Murphy Center record of 11,807 for any game there.

Game #5: UCLANov. 28, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 5: UCLA The UCLA Bruins made the trek to Knoxville for the fi rst time since Nov. 16, 2006, but the Bruin coaching staff was very familiar with Thompson-Boling Arena and the Lady Vols. The Bruins are led by former Lady Vol and assistant coach Nikki Caldwell. She is assisted by former Lady Vol Tasha Butts and a former Lady Vol practice player, Tony Perotti. Unfortunately for the Bruins, the outcome was the same as it has been the previous six times UT Head Coach Pat Summitt faced off against a former player, the Lady Vols came away victorious, 61-47. The Bruins started off hot and led the entire fi rst half after shooting 42.9 percent in the fi rst stanza. The UCLA defense limited the Tennessee offense to just 9-of-31 shooting, 29 percent, in the fi rst half. Freshman Taber Spani scored eight of UT’s fi nal 11 points, including the last fi ve straight. The Lee’s Summit, Mo., native tied the game at 25 apiece on a pair of free throws with 30 seconds left before the halftime horn. A late Bruin fi eld goal gave UCLA a 27-25 lead at the break. UT held UCLA without a fi eld goal from the 4:56 mark of the fi rst half to just four seconds remaining, going on an 11-1 run to tie the game at 25. The Lady Vols would continue that run, extending it to 18-3 and a 32-27 lead nearly fi ve minutes into the second half. Spani fi nished with a team high 16 points for the second time this season and added six rebounds. Junior Angie Bjorklund tallied 12 points, all of which came in the second half, and tied Shannon Bobbitt for fourth with 147 career three pointers. Sophomore Glory Johnson tallied 11 points and seven rebounds while classmate Kelley Cain tied her season and career high with 11 boards and pitched in eight points. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen continued to be a jack-of-all-trades, fi nishing with eight boards, six points and three assists. The Lady Vols won the battle of the boards for the fi fth time in as many games this season, 49-35.

Game #6: George WashingtonDec. 1, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 6: GEORGE WASHINGTON The Tennessee Lady Vols entered their Dec. 1 match-up with George Washington with only nine available players as redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain did not play after suffering a concussion against UCLA. The nine available made the most of their opportunity and all played at least 18 minutes en route to a 93-53 win over the Colonials. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer made the most of her season high 22 minutes as she tallied a career high 23 points on 11-of-15 shooting and grabbed a season best seven rebounds. The Lady Vols didn’t start the way Head Coach Pat Summitt would like, trailing 10-9 nearly fi ve minutes into the game. From that point, UT used an 11-2 run over 2:53 to build a 20-12 lead. Over the fi nal 6:54 of the fi rst half, the Lady Vols only surrendered a pair of GW free throws on their way to a 16-2 run and took a 54-24 lead into the break. At the half, sophomore Glory Johnson had notched her seventh career double double. The Knoxville native fi nished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Classmate Shekinna Stricklen recorded her fourth career double double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Tennessee dominated the paint, outscoring GW 34-4 in the fi rst half and 54-12 in the paint for the game. The Lady Vols also owned the rebounding advantage, 49-40, for the sixth time in as many games this season. Junior Angie Bjorklund notched her 150th career three pointer and took sole possession of fourth place in the UT record books. Sophomore Alicia Manning fi nished with career highs of six assists and four steals, to go with fi ve points and fi ve rebounds in a season high 30 minutes of action. Bjorklund, junior Sydney Smallbone and freshman Taber Spani all fi nished with nine points, in addition to the three Lady Vols who tallied double fi gures.

After pulling ahead, 4-3, on a Kelley Cain layup, Tennessee would not trail the rest of the game. The Lady Vols used a 14-2 run from the 16:42 mark of the fi rst half to the 10:56 point to build a 21-7 lead. The Scarlet Knights continued to fi ght and play tough defense, and were able to pull within fi ve, 30-25, as the fi rst half came to a close.

Game #9: LouisvilleDec. 16, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 9: LOUISVILLE Prior to the game, Head Coach Pat Summitt addressed the crowd of 11,084 and let them know that, for the fi rst time since 2004-05, each individual would have their name on the back of their jersey, telling the fans “Merry Christmas”. Her team would return the present to coach Summitt as they downed the Louisville Cardinals, 86-56, as UofL became the 180th team all-time to face UT and the 12th current BIG EAST squad to square off against the Lady Vols. Entering the game, the Cardinals had averaged 74.3 points per game, but were limited to 56 and 31.7 percent shooting. Tennessee jumped off to a scorching hot start, building a 23-3 lead with 13:30 to play in the fi rst half, including a stretch where UT went on an 18-0 run. However, the Cardinals would not give up and cut the Big Orange lead to seven (31-24) with 5:04 remaining before the fi rst half horn sounded. The Tennessee defense stepped up and allowed only two Louisville fi eld goals the rest of the half and went into the locker room with a 43-29 lead. It was the seventh time UT had lead after the fi rst 20 minutes, but the fi rst time that the Lady Vols had not trailed in the opening stanza this season. The second half provided much of the same as Tennessee extended its lead, reaching a 31-point margin (86-55) with 2:50 to play. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer led the Lady Vols with her third career double-double, posting 12 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Angie Bjorklund scored a team high 19 points and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen tossed in 15, pulled down eight rebounds and dished out six assists. Sophomore Glory Johnson hauled in double digit rebounds for the 10th time in her career, grabbing 10 caroms, to go with seven points.

Game #10: at #2/2 StanfordDec. 19, 2009 • Palo Alto, Calif.

Maples Pavilion (6,809)

GAME 10: #2/2 STANFORD The Tennessee Lady Vols suffered their fi rst defeat, 67-52, of the 2009-10 season when they squared against the No. 2/2-ranked Stanford Cardinal on Dec. 19 at Maples Pavilion. The Lady Vol defense limited the Cardinal to only four points over the fi rst 7:05 of the contest and Tennessee owned an 11-4 lead, but the UT shooting would go cold from there. Tennessee went into the lockerroom with only 18 points, tying for the sixth fewest fi rst half points ever by a Lady Vol squad, and trailed 30-18. The Lady Vol offense mustered to shoot only 21.9 percent (7-of-32) in the fi rst 20 minutes. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain was the lone bright spot for the UT side in the opening half, scoring six points and grabbing fi ve boards. Tennessee was unable to work the ball inside in the second half and Cain fi nished with six points, seven rebounds and three blocks. The Lady Vols opened the second half holding steady with the Cardinal and cut the Stanford lead to eight (38-30) with 13:47 to play in the contest. The Cardinal quickly responded by rippinig off seven straight over the next 1:25 to build a 15-point advantage (45-30) with 12:22 to play. Tennessee cut its defi cit to 11 (60-49) with 2:46 to play on a pair of Angie Bjorklund free throws, but that’s as close as the Lady Vols would get. Bjorklund scored a team high 15 points and made three three pointers, tying her with Brittany Jackson for third in the UT record books with 161 career triples made. Sophomore Glory Johnson was the only other Lady Vol to score in double fi gures, as she fi nished with 13 points, seven rebounds and a pair of blocks. Tennessee tied a season-low with 34 rebounds and was outrebounded, 44-34, for the fi rst time in 2009-10. The Lady Vol offense managed only four assists, the fewest on the season, while the Cardinal offense tallied 14 helpers on 22 fi eld goals and four Stanford players fi nished in double fi gures.

Game #11: at San FranciscoDec. 22, 2009 • San Francisco, Calif.

War Memorial Gym (3,255)

GAME 11: SAN FRANCISCO The Lady Vols bounced back from their fi rst loss of the 2009-10 campaign with an 89-34 victory over the San Francisco Dons at War Memorial Gym in San Francisco, Calif. Junior Angie Bjorklund led UT with a game high 19 points on the strength of 7-of-10 shooting - including 4-of-5 from three-point range - in only 17 minutes of action. Bjorklund dished out four assists and grabbed a pair of steals. The Dons opened the game strong, feeding off the energy the crowd of 3,255 brought to the gym that Bill Russell and K.C. Jones helped make famous, and owned a 4-2 advantage just over two minutes into the contest. Over the next 4:23, Tennessee went on a 10-0 run and built a 12-4 lead, and would not look back. After stretching the lead to 24-11 with 10:04 left in the fi rst stanza, the Lady Vols would go on a 24-6 run to end the half, including a stretch where UT went on a 13-0 tear to build a 37-11 lead. The second half saw the Lady Vol bench used almost exclusively as Tennessee outscored the Dons 41-17 in the fi nal 20 minutes. Freshman Kamiko Williams shined the brightest for UT in the second stanza as she scored 10 of her 14 points, grabbed six of her eight boards, picked four steals and dished out three assists in 14 second half minutes. Sophomore Glory Johnson narrowly missed a double double as she fi nished with 13 points and nine rebounds. Despite shooting only 3-of-9 from the fl oor, she was 7-of-8 from the free throw line. Classmates Alicia Manning and Alyssia Brewer each fi nished with eight points. Manning hauled in eight rebounds, dished out three assists and grabbed three steals in 25 minutes. Brewer grabbed six rebounds and added a block and a steal in 24 minutes. The Lady Vol size advantage was quite evident as UT enjoyed a 52-32 rebounding edge, the 10th time in 2009-10 that Tennessee owned the glass. The Tennessee offense was able to work the ball inside and claimed a 36-2 paint points advantage.

Game #12: Old DominionDec. 30, 2009 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 12: OLD DOMINION If the Tennessee Lady Vols had developed any rust over the holiday break, it did not show as UT downed Old Dominion 102-62 on Dec. 30, 2009. It was the fi rst time the Lady Vols had broken the centruy mark since Jan. 2, 2008, when UT claimed a 102-68 road win over the DePaul Blue Demons. The Tennessee shooting was red-hot as the Lady Vols converted 43-of-64 fi eld goal attempts, good for a 67.2 percent clip. It was the seventh best shooting night in UT history. In the fi rst half, UT was 26-of-37 from the fi eld and owned a 57-31 lead at the break. It was the most fi rst half points since UT scored 59 in the opening stanza against Chattanooga on Nov. 12, 2006. Tennessee opened the game on an 11-0 run and never trailed during the contest. Midway through the fi rst half, UT used a 15-2 run over 4:50 to build a 36-15 lead. Sophmore Glory Johnson led fi ve Lady Vols in double fi gure scoring as she posted her eighth career double double with 15 points and 10 rebounds as she came off the bench for the fi rst time this season. Junior Angie Bjorklund tallied a game-high 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including a trio of three-pointers. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer tossed in 16 points, grabbed six boards, dished out three assists and blocked two shots in 22 minutes of action. Sophomore Briana Bass and freshman Kamiko Williams each added 11 points for UT. Bass converted on 4-of-5 fi eld goals attempts, including a perfect 3-of-3 from beyond the arc for a season-best scoring game. In addition to the points, Williams dished out a season high six assists to go with three rebounds and two steals. The Lady Vols were given a scare when sophomore Shekinna Stricklen landed awkwardly on her right knee three minutes into the contest and had to be helped off the court. She tested fi ne and returned to the bench but did not play.

Game #13: #14/15 OklahomaJan. 3, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 13: #14/15 OKLAHOMA The Tennessee Lady Vols began the new year with a bang, downing the No. 14/15-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, 96-75, in front of 13,332 at Thompson-Boling Arena and a national TV audience on ESPN2 on Jan. 3. What those in attendance and watching on TV also witnessed was a night of history as UT sophomore Shekinna Stricklen recorded just the second triple-double in Lady Vol history, as she fi nished with 17 points, 13 rebounds and a career best 12 assists. Early in the game, however, UT Head Coach Pat Summitt was not pleased with what she was seeing from her point guard. “When she took me out, she told me that I wasn’t playing like a point guard and that I needed to step my game up to another level,” Stricklen said. “I just said ‘Yes ma’am, and I responded.” Stricklen wasn’t the only Lady Vol to post a big night. Junior shooting guard Angie Bjorklund torched the nets for 25 points, including a 5-of-8 performance from beyond the arc. The Sooners opened the game with a 9-2 run and held a 10 point advantage, 14-4, with 16:51 to play in the fi rst half. The Lady Vols responded, and used a 13-2 run over 4:01 to build a 27-22 lead with 8:50 left in the opening stanza. Tennessee went into the break with the lead, 45-39, for the 10th time this season. In the second half, the Lady Vols pulled away, outscoring the Sooners 51-36 in the second frame. In addition to Bjorklund and Stricklen, sophomores Alyssia Brewer and Kelley Cain each posted double digit scoring nights. Brewer tossed in 13 points, to go with fi ve rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal. Cain dumped in 10 points, hauled in eight boards and blocked fi ve shots. The pair dominated the post and helped UT to a 44-22 points in the paint advantage and a 48-31 rebounding margin, the 12th time this season the Lady Vols have owned a positive rebound margin.

GAME 14: SOUTH CAROLINA The Tennessee Lady Vols opened the SEC portion of the 2009-10 schedule with a 79-62 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks on Jan. 7. The win improved UT to 41-2 all-time against SC, extended the Lady Vols’ winning streak to 37 in the series and improved Tennessee’s record to 26-5 in conference openers. The Gamecocks and Lady Vols would go back and forth over the opening minutes and SC built a six point lead, 14-8, barely three minutes into the contest. The Tennessee defense stepped up and held the South Carolina offense without a fi eld goal for over fi ve and a half minutes to turn a 19-14 defi cit into a 31-20 lead with 9:28 to play before the break. For the sixth time this season and the fourth straight game, UT shot above 50 percent from the fi eld in the opening stanza and used the hot shooting to build a 47-33 lead at the break. It was the 11th time in 2009-10 that the Lady Vols have held the halftime advantage. After the break, South Carolina continued to fi ght and pulled within seven, 55-48, on a pair of Jewel May free throws with 12:36 to play. The UT defense held the SC offense without a fi eld goal from the 13:39 mark of the second half with the score 53-46 to the 6:57 point and a 68-49 Lady Vol lead. The crowd of 1,462 was the second smallest at Thompson-Boling Arena due to bad weather. The smallest was when 1,461 fought the ice to see the Lady Vols down Mississippi State, 91-63, on Jan. 2, 1991. While the weather outside wrecked havoc on the crowd, junior Angie Bjorklund and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen were both hot. The two combined to shoot 17-of-32 for 44 points. Bjorklund tallied 23, including fi ve three pointers and Stricklen added 21 points. In addition, Bjorklund fi nished with four boards, three assists and a steal, while Stricklen tallied six assists, two rebounds and three blocks. Sophomore Kelley Cain added eight points, fi ve boards and six blocks while classmate Glory Johnson fi nished with nine points and nine rebounds.

Game #15: Mississippi StateJan. 10, 2010 • Starkville, Miss.

Humphrey Coliseum (5,787)

GAME 15: MISSISSIPPI STATE The Tennessee Lady Vols went on the road for the fi rst time in the 2010 SEC season and downed the Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs, 75-48, on Jan. 10 in Starkville. With the win, the Lady Bulldogs remain the only league foe to have never beaten the Lady Vols, with the all-time series standing at 31-0 in favor of UT. Sophomore Glory Johnson, who had been in and out of Coach Summitt’s dog house over the previous week, was back in the starting lineup and posted a double-double in the fi rst half. It was the Knoxville native’s ninth career double-double as she fi nished with 16 points and a career-best 15 rebounds. Tennessee began the game on a 13-5 run over nearly the fi rst fi ve minutes and never trailed in the contest for the third time this season. The Lady Vol defense stifl ed the Mississippi State offense with its long and rangy zone defense. The Lady Bulldogs came into the contest averaging 78.4 ppg and converting fi eld goals at a 43.2 clip. The UT defense limited MSU to season lows of 28.1 percent shooting and 48 points. Tennessee went into the half with a 39-18 lead, the 12th time in 2009-10 that the Lady Vols have enjoyed an advantage in the locker room. And for the 12th time, the Lady Vols claimed a victory. Senior Alexis Rack was the Lady Bulldogs leading scorer at 20.4 ppg and the UT defense held her to only fi ve fi rst half points and 19 for the game. Along with Johnson, junior Angie Bjorklund and freshman Taber Spani fi nished in double fi gure scoring for Tennessee. Bjorklund continued her hot streak, shooting 6-of-14 from the fl oor and 4-of-9 from three-point range to fi nish with 16 points. She added six boards, three steals and a pair of assists.

Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen continued to be a jack-of-all-trades as she notched nine points, nine rebounds and six assists. Redshirt-sophomore Kelley Cain added six points, fi ve boards and two blocks in only 15 minutes of action.

Game #16: FloridaJan. 14, 2010 • Gainesville, Fla.

Stephen C. O’Connell Center (4,403)

GAME 16: FLORIDA The Tennessee Lady Vols overcame a season-high 25 turnovers and a poor fi rst half shooting performance to down the Florida Gators, 66-64, in Gainesville on Jan. 14. Redshirt sophomore center Kelley Cain led the Lady Vols with her third career double double as she tallied game-highs of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Cain scored the fi rst six points of the game as Tennessee raced to an 11-3 lead just 2:25 into the contest. After a Shekinna Stricklen three-pointer put the Lady Vols up 14-6 at the 14:41 mark of the fi rst half, Florida went on a 9-0 run to take it’s fi rst lead of the game, 15-14, on a Trumae Lucas fastbreak layup at the 11:31 point. The two sides would battle back-and-forth the rest of the opening frame and Tennessee went into the lockerroom with a 32-29 lead, the 13th time in 2009-10 that UT held an advantage at the break. After taking a 36-35 lead on a Stricklen jumper with 17:37 remaining in the contest, Tennessee would trail until Cain converted a layup with just 1:32 to play in the game. The Gators led by as much eight, which they had at 56-48 with 7:33 to play. Prior to Cain’s layup, freshman Kamiko Williams made a jumper in the lane with 2:17 on the clock to tie the game at 62 apiece. The Lady Vols were able to overcome the defi cit by shooting nearly 61 percent in the second half. Junior Angie Bjorklund did not score in the fi rst half and had a pair of three pointers to keep UT within striking distance. The Spokane Valley, Wash., native made arguably her biggest bucket to date of the season as she converted a reverse layup with just 2.3 seconds to play that put Tennessee up 66-64. The Gators would have one last attempt, and a half court inbounds pass led to a wide open three-point attempt by Lonnika Thompson that bounced off the rim as time expired. Joining Cain in double fi gures was Stricklen with 14 points and six boards. Sophomore Glory Johnson hauled in 10 rebounds and added eight points, the 13th time in her career she has grabbed double digit boards.

Game #17: #rv/22 VanderbiltJan. 17, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 17: #rv/22 VANDERBILT The Vanderbilt Commodores came into Thompson-Boling Arena with an all-time record of 0-24 against the Lady Vols in Knoxville. And the Commodores would head westward to Nashville with an 0-25 mark after the Lady Vols survived rival Vanderbilt, 64-57, on Jan. 17. The Lady Vols started the contest hot, opening with an 11-3 run over the fi rst 4:43. The Tennessee defense would stifl e the VU offense, not allowing a fi eld goal for over seven minutes and holding the Commodores scoreless from the 14:09 mark to the 6:36 point of the fi rst half. Over that stretch, Tennessee built a 27-7 lead. The Commodores would not go down without a fi ght and rallied to within eight, 29-21, on a pair of free throws and three straight three pointers with 4:45 to play in the half. Eighteen of VU’s 29 fi rst half points came from behind the arc. The Lady Vols went into the halftime break with the lead for the 14th time in 2009-10. Every game in which UT has held the halftime lead, it has won this season. Vanderbilt began the second half by chipping away at the Tennessee lead and forcing the game’s second and fi nal tie, 45-45, at the 15:04 mark. Tennessee would make fi ve of its fi nal six free throws to provide the fi nal margin. Sophomore Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols with team-highs of 17 points and nine rebounds. The Knoxville native was 6-of-11 from the fi eld and 5-of-7 from the charity stripe. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain tossed in 14 points on a 6-of-7 shooting performance to go with nine boards. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was the third Lady Vol to post double digits as she added 10 points. Tennessee was able to exploit Vanderbilt in two specialty stats. The Lady Vols turned 27 VU turnovers into 28 points and outscored the Commodores 30-12 in the paint as UT enjoyed a signifi cant size advantage.

Game #18: #8/8 GeorgiaJan. 21, 2010 • Athens, Ga.Stegeman Coliseum (7,728)

GAME 18: #8/8 GEORGIA The Tennessee Lady Volunteers turnover woes continued on Jan. 21 in Athens and the No. 8/8 ranked Georgia Lady Bulldogs capitalized, handing the Lady Vols their second defeat of the season, 53-50. The loss was UT’s fi rst in Athens since dropping a 78-51 decision to the Lady Bulldogs on Jan. 17, 2000, and it also ended an eight-game winning streak for Tennessee in the series. UGA Head Coach Andy Landers has the most wins of any coach (15) against UT Head Coach Pat Summitt. Tennessee and Georgia went back-and-forth in the fi rst half, with neither side taking a lead bigger than four. The fi rst 20 minutes featured seven lead changes and six ties. The Lady Vols shot at least 50 percent in the fi rst half for the eighth time this season, but were tied with the Lady Bulldogs at 30 apiece at the break. It was the fi rst time in 2009-10 that UT was even with its opponent heading into the lockerroom. Georgia gained a two-point advantage, 32-30, 20 seconds into the second half and Tennessee forced tie number seven of the game at the 18:29 mark. Neither team was able to score again until the 15:37 point of the second half when Glory Johnson gave UT a two-point edge. Georgia’s Ashley Houts hit a three pointer at the 4:59 mark, forced a steal and converted a fastbreak layup at the 4:37 point to give the lead back to UGA. Alyssia Brewer would give the Lady Vols a 50-49 lead with 1:07 to play, but a Porsha Phillips layup and a pair of free throws provided the fi nal margin. Tennessee shot 29.2 percent from the fl oor in the second half, the worst second half shooting performance of the season for UT. Johnson led Tennessee with a game-high 14 points and added eight rebounds playing all 40 minutes. Kelley Cain added 10 points and nine rebounds before fouling out with 4:13 to play. Brewer started her third career game and tallied eight points and seven rebounds.

GAME 19: #18/19 LSU On a night when the Tennessee Lady Vols’ offense struggled at times, their defense stepped up and led UT to a 55-43 win at #18/19-ranked LSU on Jan. 24. Tennessee shot just 40 percent in the fi rst half, but limited LSU to 29.2 percent shooting in the opening frame and took a 24-22 lead into the half, despite not scoring for the fi nal 3:15 of the stanza. The second half opened much the same way the fi rst half ended, with neither team scoring for the fi rst 3:06 and not converting a fi eld goal for the fi rst 3:24 of the second 20 minutes. Tennessee did not trail in the fi rst half for the fi fth time this season and the Lady Tigers did not gain a lead until the 11:55 point of the second half, which they held for 2:09 before UT regained the lead. The Tennessee offense bounced back and shot 50.0 percent (11-of-22) in the second half, but it was the Lady Vol defense that made the difference and allowed UT to churn out a 12 point win. The Lady Tigers were held to just 24.1 percent shooting, 7-of-29, in the second half and the Lady Vol defense held the LSU offense scoreless from the 9:35 mark to the 2:47 point, a stretch of 6:48. During that span, Tennessee turned a 37-37 tie into a 50-37 lead. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer earned Lady Vol Player of the Game honors after posting team-bests of 14 points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes of action. The Sapulpa, Okla., native made her fourth start of her career and of the season. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain tallied double digits as she tossed in 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting from the fi eld and 3-of-3 from the charity stripe. Cain added four blocks and three rebounds. Sophomore Glory Johnson fi nished with eight points and six rebounds. The post trio of Brewer, Cain and Johnson fi nished the game 13-of-22 and scored 33 points and hauled in 16 rebounds. Junior Angie Bjorklund, who did not start for the fi rst time since coming off the bench at Auburn on Jan. 25, 2009, fi nished with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including a pair of threes.

Game #20: AuburnJan. 28, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 20: AUBURN In 2008-09, the Auburn Tigers became the fi rst squad to beat Tennessee twice in one season since the 2003-04 campaign. On Jan. 28, the Tigers came to Thompson-Boling Arena and the Lady Vols sent AU back to the Plains with an 85-56 loss. Four Lady Vols fi nished the night with double digit scoring efforts, led by junior Angie Bjorklund’s 20 points and sophomore Glory Johnson’s 10th career double double of 15 points and 13 rebounds. For the night, Tennessee tied a school record of 13 three-pointers made, keyed by a 6-of-12 performance from behind the arc by Bjorklund. It marked the 18th time that the Spokane Valley, Wash., native has made at least four three pointers in a contest during her tenure at Rocky Top. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen tossed in a trio of triples en route to scoring 17 points for the game, and hauled in fi ve rebounds. Classmate Alyssia Brewer came off the bench to score 11 points and pulled in eight boards. On a night when the Lady Vols converted 56.5 percent of their threes, the second best three point shooting night of the season, it would be fi tting that Johnson made her fi rst career triple too. With 2:50 remaining in the fi rst half and UT holding a 34-25 lead, the ball rolled to Johnson and she heaved up a prayer as she was falling backwards with three seconds on the shot clock and hit nothing but net. The Tigers jumped to an early lead, 5-0, at the 18:27 mark of the fi rst half, but Tennessee used a series of runs and good defense to take a 43-25 halftime lead. Tennessee also won the battle of the paint as UT’s post combination of Kelley Cain and Brewer combined for 18 points and 13 rebounds, while holding AU’s KeKe Carrier to eight points, six below her season average. The Lady Vols outscored the Tigers 34-22 in the paint and won the rebounding battle, 43-37, for the 19th time this season.

Game #21: South CarolinaJan. 31, 2010 • Columbia, S.C.

Colonial Life Arena (7,123)

GAME 21: SOUTH CAROLINA The Tennessee Lady Vols overcame early shooting woes and a hot South Carolina start to claim a 60-55 win on Jan. 31 in Columbia. The win improved Tennessee to 42-2 all-time against South Carolina, including the past 38 consecutive contests. The Gamecocks raced out to a 13-0 lead before Tennessee got its fi rst basket at the 15:55 mark of the fi rst half, an Alyssia Brewer jumper in the paint. Freshman Kamiko Williams played arguably her best game of the season to date and kept the Lady Vols in the game with 10 fi rst half points on 4-of-8 shooting. Tennessee trailed for the entire fi rst half and went into the break down 26-25. The Lady Vols continued to fi ght and keep the game close, and took their fi rst lead of the game with 7:53 left in the contest on a Brewer jumper in the paint off an assist by Williams. Tennessee made key plays down the stretch to escape Columbia with a victory. Junior Angie Bjorklund hit a jumper with 27 seconds left from the left wing as the shot clock nearly ran out, giving UT a 58-55 lead. On the next possession, South Carolina attempted to inbound the ball in front of its own bench when sophomore Alicia Manning tipped the pass and Williams snatched up the loose ball. The rookie coolly converted both free throws to give Tennessee a fi ve point advantage. The Lady Vol defense forced another turnover on a Gamecock inbound play underneath the South Carolina hoop, with Bjorklund coming up with the loose ball on the fi nal play of the game. Williams tallied a team high and career best 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting and dished out four assists. Brewer tossed in 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including a 4-of-5 performance from the charity stripe, while redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain added 10. The Lady Vol bench outscored the South Carolina reserves 32-6.

Game #22: ArkansasFeb. 4, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.

Colonial Life Arena (7,123)

GAME 22: ARKANSAS The Tennessee Lady Vols enjoyed a signifi cant size advantage against the Arkansas Razorbacks on Feb. 4 and used the edge to earn a 74-57 victory at Thompson-Boling Arena. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain and sophomore Alyssia Brewer dominated down low at both ends of the fl oor. On the offensive end, the pair combined for 34 points and eight offensive boards, and helped UT enjoy a 40-16 advantage in paint points. On the defensive end, the two combined for 18 boards and 10 blocks, while limiting the Razorback starting post game to just two points and six total rebounds. Cain tied Ashley Robinson’s school record of eight blocks and posted a career-best 17 rebounds, while Brewer tallied her second career 20-plus point performance. Tennessee got the fi rst bucket of the game, a fastbreak layup by Shekinna Stricklen, and never looked back. The Lady Vols never trailed in the contest for the fi fth time this season. Tennessee also owned a 51-41 advantage on the glass, the 21st time this season UT has won the battle of the boards. The Lady Vols’ top two scorers, junior Angie Bjorklund and Stricklen, combined for two points on 1-of-8 shooting in the fi rst half. The duo responded by going 9-of-16 for 27 points in the second half. Sophomore Glory Johnson came off the bench for the third time in 2009-10 and tallied fi ve points and six rebounds in 12 minutes of action. Freshman Kamiko Williams became the 59th rookie to start a game at Rocky Top, getting the nod at point guard, and fi nished with three points, two rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes. The victory earned the Lady Vols their 34th consecutive season of at least 20 wins, tying the seventh fastest squad to the milestone and extended UT’s winning streak to 16 against the Razorbacks.

Game #23: #rv/22 VanderbiltFeb. 8, 2010 • Nashville, Tenn.Memorial Gymnasium (6,005)

GAME 23: #rv/R22 VANDERBILT You would expect a game between squads meeting for the 63rd time would be close and that is exactly what happened in Nashville when the Tennessee Lady Vols traveled to face the rival Vanderbilt Commodores on Feb. 8. The contest featured mini-runs by both sides, six ties and three lead changes, and the Lady Vols came out on top, 69-60. The win gives Tennessee the regular-season sweep of the Commodores and improved the Lady Vols to 55-7 all-time against VU. The victory also prevented Vanderbilt from claiming two consecutive wins in Nashville over Tennessee for the fi rst time. Tennessee opened the game making six of its fi rst seven shots and building a 12-7 advantage at the fi rst media timeout. The Lady Vols would go cold, making only one of its next 15 shots and falling behind 20-16. Vandy stretched its lead to 28-20 with 4:08 left in the half, but in their fi nal six possessions of the period, the Commodores would go 0-of-3 from the fl oor and turn the ball over three times. Over that span, UT got a pair of buckets and was 4-of-4 from the charity stripe to tie the game at 28 at the half. Vanderbilt opened the second half with a three-pointer and Tennessee kept it close, but the Lady Vols would not get their fi rst lead of the fi nal 20 minutes until the 5:33 mark. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain made a statement rejection of VU’s Gabby Smith and sophomore Alicia Manning picked up the loose ball and raced for a layup, putting UT up 52-51 and giving the Lady Vols the lead for good. Tennessee made nine of its fi nal 11 shots and 6-of-8 free throws in the fi nal 1:04 to seal the win. Cain fi nished with a career-high 19 points go with seven boards and fi ve blocks. Sophomore Glory Johnson posted all of her 10 points and eight rebounds in 12 second half minutes. Junior Angie Bjorklund pitched in 10 points and four rebounds, while sophomore Alyssia Brewer added 10 points and seven boards off the bench.

Game #24: Ole MissFeb. 11, 2010 • Oxford, Miss.Tad Smith Coliseum (2,356)

GAME 24: OLE MISS Head Coach Pat Summitt always talks about the ability of the three-pointer to change the course of a game, on defense the need to defend and on offense the momentum it can provide. On Feb. 11 in Oxford, the long ball was especially important as Tennessee came away with a 61-58 win over the Ole Miss Rebels. Junior Angie Bjorklund made four triples, the fi rst of which put her over the 1,000 point mark for her career. The last of which came with three seconds to play and gave Tennessee the win. In between, Ole Miss hit 10 threes, tying the most by a UT foe this year, fi ve of which came from Elizabeth Robertson. The double digit three-pointers by the Rebels allowed them to hold the lead for most of the second half. Tennessee briefl y held the lead fi ve minutes into the second half, but would not take the advantage for good until an Alyssia Brewer layup at the 3:17 mark. A Bjorklund three put UT up 58-54 with 2:41 to go, but Ole Miss tied it at 58 on a Bianca Thomas layup with 16 seconds to go. After Summitt called a timeout to draw up a fi nal play, Shekinna Stricklen was cut off and handed back to Bjorklund who hit a three pointer with three seconds left for the win. This marks the second consecutive year that Bjorklund has hit a three to beat Ole Miss. Last year in Knoxville, she hit one from the right corner with eight seconds left for a 60-59 win. Stricklen led the Lady Vols with 13 points, eight assists and four rebounds. Brewer earned player of the game honors with 12 points and eight boards off the bench. Bjorklund tallied nine second half points to fi nish with 12, and added six assists and four rebounds. Alicia Manning, making her third start of the season, fi nished with a season high 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting. Redshirt sophomore post Kelley Cain tallied only seven points but hauled in 16 rebounds, leading UT to a rebounding advantage for the 23rd time this season. The Lady Vols outscored Ole Miss 32-10 in the paint and the UT bench provided a 15-2 edge over the Rebel reserves.

Game #25: FloridaFeb. 14, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 25: FLORIDA The fi rst time the Lady Volunteers and Gators squared off in 2009-10, it took a revers layup by junior Angie Bjorklund with 2.3 seconds remaining to decide the contest, a 66-64 win for UT in Gainesville. For the fi rst 14 minutes of the second meeting, it looked as if the contest would play out in a very similar manner. However, UT used a 10-0 run over four minutes, 10 seconds late in the fi rst half to build a 31-21 lead, and the Lady Vols would head into the lockerroom with a 34-28 lead. Despite having a lead, Coach Summitt challenged the team at the break and the Lady Vols came out much more aggressive in the fi nal 20 minutes, which would be arguably the best half of basketball by UT this season. The Tennessee defense held the Gators to just 16 points on 21.2 percent shooting. The 16 points were the fewest UT has allowed in the second stanza all season. Conversely, the 49 points are the most UT has scored in the second half of an SEC game and the 64.5 percent Tennessee shot from the fi eld in the second half is the best by the Lady Vols all season in the fi nal 20 minutes. Bjorklund scored a game-high 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting, including a 6-of-12 effort from three-point range and dished out three assists. The contest marked her 50th career double digit scoring game and the 20th time she has converted at least four threes in a game. Bjorklund began the game in fi fth place on the single season threes made list and fi nished the day in second with 81. In total, four of fi ve UT starters tallied double digit scoring games. Redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain tied a career high with 19 points, to go with eight rebounds and seven blocks, one off the school record. Sophomores Shekinna Stricklen and Alicia Manning added 12 and 11 points, respectively. Stricklen added six boards and four assists, while Manning tallied nine boards and tied a career high with six assists. Tennessee won the points in the paint battel, 42-20, and fi nished 12 blocks, tying the most ever against the Gators and one shy of the Tennessee school record.

Game #26: AlabamaFeb. 18, 2010 • Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Coleman Coliseum (3,900)

GAME 26: ALABAMA The Tennessee Lady Volunteers made their fi nal road trip of the 2009-10 regular season to Tuscaloosa, Ala., for a match-up with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Feb. 18. Tennessee escaped from Tuscaloosa with a 74-67 victory and fi nished the conference road slate with a 7-1 record after going just 2-5 in away games in 2008-09. Head Coach Pat Summitt announced on Wednesday before leaking Knoxville that 6-6 center Kelley Cain would not travel with the team in order to stay in Knoxville and attend class. Without the dominating presence of Cain inside, sophomore Alyssia Brewer was called upon to start, the sixth time in her career she has earned the nod. Brewer earned Player of the Game honors after posting her fourth career double-double with a team high 20 points and a game high 10 rebounds. Brewer’s inside game was not enough as Tennessee was outrebounded for only the second time on the campaign, 45-33, and outscored in the paint, 40-36. The Lady Vols made two key runs, one in each half, to put some distance between themselves and the Crimson Tide. In the fi rst half, UT put together a 9-0 stretch to turn a 19-19 tie into a 28-19 Big Orange lead with 4:59 remaining in the frame. The Lady Vol defense kept the Crimson Tide without a fi eld goal from the 9:44 mark of the second half to the 5:02 point, using a 13-4 run to build a 67-53 lead. Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was 7-of-12 from the fl oor to fi nish with 14 points for Tennesseee. She added fi ve boards and three steals. Junior Angie Bjorklund tossed in 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, and added fi ve rebonds and a pair of assists, while playing all 40 minutes. Tennessee forced 24 Crimson Tide turnovers, the second most by a Lady Vol foe this season, and turned the miscues into 27 points.

Game #27: #20/rv LSUFeb. 22, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 27: #20/rv LSU The Tennessee Lady Volunteers began the fi nal week of the 2009-10 regular season with a Big Monday match-up with the 20th-ranked LSU Lady Tigers on Feb. 22, and the Lady Vols claimed a 70-61 victory. The win gave UT a share of the SEC regular-season title and a season sweep of the Lady Tigers, the fourth league foe Tennessee has beaten twice this season. After missing the Alabama game, redshirt-sophomore Kelley Cain returned to the Lady Vol lineup in a big way. Despite playing only 23 minutes before fouling out, the Atlanta, Ga., native scored 16 points, blocked 12 shots and grabbed seven rebounds. The 12 blocks are a UT single-game record and is the second-best single-game performance in SEC history. Cain’s 12 rejections were a part of UT’s 14 team blocks, which set another Lady Vol record. With the impressive display of shot blocking, Cain moved from fi fth to second in the single-season record books with 91 swats on the campaign. After shooting a dismal 40 percent from the charity stripe in their last outing, the Lady Vols set a new single game mark by making all 10 of their free throws attempts, all of which came in the second half. Tennessee held LSU without a fi eld goal from the 4:03 mark of the fi rst half to the 0:01 point, turning a 24-21 advantage into a 32-21 lead. After the fi rst half saw fi ve ties and three lead changes, the Lady Vols controlled the entire fi nal 20 minutes en route to victory and committed a season-low seven turnovers. In addtion to Cain, sophomore Alyssia Brewer posted 18 points and grabbed six boards. Classmate Glory Johnson fi nished in double digits with 12 points in addition to pulling down eight boards.

Game #28: #16/14 KentuckyFeb. 25, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn.


GAME 28: #16/14 KENTUCKY The Tennessee Lady Volunteers clinched their 15th regular season Southeastern Conference title with an 81-65 victory over the #16/14 Kentucky Wildcats on Feb. 25. With the win, UT extended its home winning streak to 16 games and its home winning streak against UK to 15 games. Tennessee opened the game on a 9-2 run and held the Wildcats without a fi eld goal for 6:15 early in the contest to turn a 9-4 advantage into a 20-6 lead with 11:17 to play in the half. UK pulled within seven (23-16) with 9:12 left in the opening frame, but the Lady Vols ran off a 13-0 stretch to the 5:21 mark and built a 37-16 margin. The Lady Vols would head into the lockerrom with a 45-31 edge, the 21st time UT has held a lead after the fi rst 20 minutes. Tennessee never trailed in the fi rst half for the seventh time this season and would not trail in the game for the sixth time on the campaign. The Lady Vols’ size proved to be too much for the Wildcats as UT again set a school record in blocks for the second consecutive game. The 15 rejections tallied against UK topped the previous mark of 14 set on Feb. 22 against LSU. Despite playing only three minutes in the fi rst half after picking up two quick fouls, redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain responded to score 11 points, grab six boards and block six shots in the second half. She fi nished with a team-high 14 points and seven blocks. Four other Lady Vols, led by sophomore Glory Johnson’s 13 points, fi nished in double fi gures. Johnson hauled in eight boards as well. Junior Angie Bjorklund and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen each added 12 points, while Stricklen pulled down seven boards and dished out fi ve assists. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer added 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Classmate Alicia Manning grabbed a career-best and game-high 11 rebounds. Tennessee outscored UK 36-26 in the paint and the Lady Vol reserves outscored the Wildcat bench 26-8.
