Noting RutgersTidbits

The Scarlet Knights started the season 8-0 -- the best start since the 2005-06 campaign.

Rutgers is led off ensively by a trio of double-digit scorers in April Sykes, Monique Oliver and Khadijah Rushdan.

Oliver leads the Scarlet Knights on the glass, averag-ing a career-best 9.3 rebounds per game.

Rutgers was picked to fi nish fourth in the annual BIG EAST Conference Coaches’ Preseason Poll. Notre Dame was at the top of the poll followed by Connecti-cut. Louisville was chosen third, followed by Rutgers and Georgetown in the fourth and fi fth spots. DePaul was selected to fi nish sixth, St. John’s seventh and Syracuse eighth. West Virginia was picked ninth and USF rounded out the top 10.

The Bulls were followed by Marquette, Pittsburgh, Vil-lanova, Providence, Cincinnati and Seton Hall.

Our Last Meeting with Rutgers No. 5/6-ranked Tennessee got record-setting perfor-

mances from senior guard Angie Bjorklund and soph-omore forward Taber Spani, as UT paid tribute to Me-lissa McCray-Dukes with a dominating 87-51 win over Rutgers on Dec. 30, 2010 at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Bjorklund set the Lady Vol career record for three-pointers with her 267th trey at the 18:34 mark in the fi rst half.

Spani scored a career-high 22 points in her fi fth start of the season.

The story of the game, however, was the Lady Vols’ tribute to McCray-Dukes who was a starter on Tennes-see’s fi rst two national championship teams in 1987 and 1989, and passed away on Dec. 27, 2010, after a hard fought battle with breast cancer.

Starting with the Rutgers game, the Lady Vols wore black No. 35 patches on their shorts honoring Mc-Cray-Dukes.

Tennessee came out playing with an intensity that would’ve made McCray-Dukes, a tenacious defender in her day, proud.

UT jumped out to a 30-12 lead at the 9:23 mark af-ter three consecutive layups by junior forward Alicia Manning and a three by Spani.

After Rutgers fought back behind the play of April Sykes (15 points) to make the score 40-29 at the in-

termission, Tennessee came out on fi re to start the second half.

The Lady Vols scored the fi rst nine points after half-time and never looked back, shooting 57.7 percent for the fi nal 20 minutes.

UT’s depth was especially impressive as the Lady Vol bench held a 24-1 scoring advantage against the un-dermanned Scarlet Knights, who dressed only nine players and were without Sykes for much of the sec-ond half due to cramps.

The 4-1-1 on Rutgers Before facing Tennessee, Rutgers defeated Fordham,

68-48, at the Rutgers Athletic Center on Dec. 8. No. 11 Rutgers bounced back from its fi rst loss of the

season (to Miami in 2 OT) with the win. Senior guard Khadijah Rushdan was RU’s high scorer

with 16 points, while junior center Monique Oliver scored 14 points, followed by freshman forward Bet-nijah Laney with 12.

The Scarlet Knights were dominant in the paint, out-scoring Fordham 46-6, including a 12-3 mark in sec-ond chance opportunities. The Rutgers bench also provided a 27-5 advantage.

BIG EAST Week The Lady Vols take on two teams from the BIG EAST

this week facing #20/21-ranked DePaul (an 84-61 win on Dec. 11) and #11-ranked Rutgers on Dec. 13.

On Jan. 23, 2012, Tennessee will travel to South Bend, Ind., to meet BIG EAST foe Notre Dame in a showdown on ESPN2

Versus the BIG EAST The Lady Vols have faced 13 of the current members

of the BIG EAST Conference and has posted an 84-21 record all-time.

Prior to defeating DePaul on Sunday in Madison Square Garden, the last time (previously) the Lady Vols faced a BIG EAST squad, UT fell 73-59 to Notre Dame in the 2011 NCAA Dayton Regional Champion-ship game on Mar. 28, 2011. UT is 0-3 versus Cincinnati UT is 9-13 versus Connecticut UT is 19-0 versus DePaul UT is 0-1 versus Georgetown UT is 2-0 versus Louisville UT is 2-0 versus Marquette UT is 20-1 versus Notre Dame UT is 4-0 versus Pittsburgh UT is 3-0 versus Providence UT is 17-3 versus Rutgers UT is 1-0 versus St. John’s UT is 1-0 versus Villanova UT is 6-0 versus West Virginia

BUNCH OF RANKED MEETINGS In the 20 meetings between the two schools, Tennessee has been ranked higher 17 times. This year’s meeting marks the second time Rutgers has not been ranked when facing UT since Dec. 11, 2003.

MADE HISTORY TOO On Jan. 17, 1994, a nasty ice storm pummeled New Jersey. Despite that, a huge crowd was on hand at the RAC to watch an unranked Rutgers team upset the #1-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols, 87-77. It marked the fi rst time in history an unranked team had knocked off #1 in women’s hoops.

PAT AND C. VIVIAN Head coach Pat Summitt’s squads have plenty of experience in battling teams coached by Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer, having faced her while she was patrolling the sidelines at Iowa and now Rutgers. Tennessee played against Stringer’s Iowa team in the 1993 NCAA Mideast Regional Champi-onship game. Iowa took a 72-56 decision to advance to the Final Four. In 2000, the Lady Vols topped Rut-gers, 64-54, to advance to the NCAA title game. The Lady Vols also faced Rutgers in the 2005 Philadelphia Regional title game (a 59-49 UT win), in Cleveland at the 2006 NCAA Regional semifi nals (a 76-69 UT win) and the 2007 Final Four Championship game (a 59-46 win) in Cleveland, Ohio. Overall, Summitt is 14-2 against Coach Stringer posting a 2-1 record at Iowa and is now 12-1 against Rutgers since her arrival.

THE COMEBACK KIDS In all of UT coach Pat Summitt’s career colle-giate games, none of her Lady Vol teams had mount-ed the kind of comeback they fashioned at Rutgers on Jan. 3, 2009. Tennessee trailed 33-13 at the half. The 13 points were the fewest ever scored by the Lady Vols in the fi rst half. Additionally, the 20-point halftime defi cit was the largest in school history. Rut-gers led by as many as 23-points before UT rallied for the 55-51 win.

Graduation Lady Vol senior guard Alicia Manning had a busy

morning on Dec. 9. In addition to packing for a trip to New York City and an early morning prac-tice, Manning donned cap and gown to receive her diploma from UT.

The newly-minted graduate of the College of Education received her B.S. in Sport Manage-ment with a business minor.

In January Manning will join fellow Lady Vols Vicki Baugh and Glory Johnson in graduate school. The Woodstock, Ga., native plans to pur-sue a master’s in Kinesiology with a concentra-tion in Sport Psychology.

Manning was joined at graduation by her par-ents, Jeff and Virginia Manning, as well as Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt.

Following graduation in Thompson-Boling Are-na, she dashed to the locker room where she signed the Lady Vol graduation pillar, adding her name near Candace Parker’s and continuing the 100 percent graduation tradition among UT hoopsters.

Manning then joined her teammates in Pratt Pavilion for practice before heading to the Big Apple.

Massengale Injured Jenny Moshak, University of Tennessee Associ-

ate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, an-nounced on Dec. 8 that Lady Vol starting point guard Ariel Massengale suff ered a dislocated fi nger in practice and would be out for two to three weeks.

“Ariel injured the middle fi nger on her left hand in practice this afternoon after going for a loose ball,” Moshak said. “Typically, this type of injury takes between 14-21 days to heal.”

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

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

Missing Miss Massengale At the start of the game against DePaul, the

Lady Vols certainly looked like they were very much missing freshman point guard Ariel Mas-sengale.

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

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

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

Hunting Our Shots Getting in additional shots continues to be a pri-

ority for the Lady Vols. Among them, sophomore Meighan Simmons

continues to look to break out of a recent shoot-ing slump.

From the fi eld Simmons was 1-7 at Virginia, 1-12 vs. Baylor, 0-7 against MTSU and 3-11 vs. Texas for a tough 5-37 stat line from the fi eld.

Starting for the injured Ariel Massengale versus DePaul, Simmons knocked in 4-7 from the fi eld.

Check Your Dial Tennessee’s game versus Rutgers will now be

televised on ESPN. UT’s contest at UCLA will not be televised but

off ered in an online stream from the Wooden Center.

From the Chalk BoardHeading in the Right Direction Tennessee halted a two-game losing streak tak-

ing a 82-43 win over Middle Tennessee State be-hind the play of rookies.

Cierra Burdick, came off the bench to contribute 14 points and 10 rebounds while Ariel Massen-gale added 14 points and fi ve assists.

That “must win” was followed by a solid eff ort in the 73-57 victory over #21/20 Texas on Dec. 4 in Knoxville.

Baugh Inconsistency Tennessee redshirt senior Vicki Baugh put up

season-high numbers for points and rebounds against Texas with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Similarly, she had a mirror-image game against Baylor with 17 and 10, respectively.

However, in the very next game after Baylor, she collected a couple of quick off ensive fouls and fi nished the game with two points, three rebounds and four fouls in just eight minutes against Middle Tennessee State.

Baugh can fi ll a big time role in the post as she (literally) continues to get her legs back under-neath her after almost a 21 months away from hoops.

With the double-digit eff orts against Texas, Baugh posted her fi fth career double-double. In her double eff ort against Baylor, it was her fi rst double-double since a 12-point, 15-rebound outing at Gonzaga (Dec. 30, 2008).

She followed that great eff ort taking herself out of the DePaul game with two quick fouls to start the game.

She never got into a rhythm against the Blue Demons and fi nished with six points and no re-bounds.

Baugh wowed the crowd in the Baylor game nailing her fi rst career three-pointer in the con-test sending a rainbow over Brittney Griner.

Against the Lady Bears, Baugh looked like the eager, scrub-faced rookie from the 2007-08 sea-son before suff ering two ACL injuries/surgeries.

Control the Glass Tennessee has managed to do a nice job on the

boards since Miami controlled that stat line in game two of the season.

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

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

In the last four games, Tennessee has converted 79 second chance points against Baylor, MTSU, Texas and DePaul while surrendering 42.

It’s Not Better to Give Tennessee was its own worst enemy turning the

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

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

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

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

out Ariel Massengale in the game vs. DePaul. The Lady Vols surrendered the ball 19 times to

DU but ball security improved in the second half. On the season, UT has generated just 17.6 points

off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 15.3 ppg off of Orange mistakes.

UT leads in second chance points per game at 16.7 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.4 ppg.

Free Means Free Since enduring a miserable 52.4 percent inac-

curacy from the free throw line in the loss to Vir-ginia, the Lady Vols picked it up a little against Baylor and MTSU and converted 78 percent from the charity stripe.

Free throw defense struck again in the Texas game as the Lady Vols managed just 12-20 (.600).

The good news? It improved against DePaul as the Lady Vols took 35 trips to the line and knocked in 26 for 74.3 percent.

On the season, UT’s free throw percentage has climbed into the 70 percent range at 71.0(120-169) .

Free throws have felt like turnovers for some of the Lady Vols. Senior Glory Johnson has been sent to the line a team high 42 times and con-nected on 27 for a 64.3 accuracy rate.

Head Coach Pat SummittMaggie Dixon Award

Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt was presented with the Maggie Dixon Courage Award at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11, 2011.

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

.Sports Illustrated Sportswoman for 2011

As the all-time winningest coach in NCAA col-legiate basketball, University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt has won her fair share of awards over the past 38 years.

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

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

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

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

Summitt and Krzyzewski join UCLA’s John Wood-en (1972) and North Carolina’s Dean Smith (1997) to round out a veritable Mount Rushmore of col-lege coaches who have received this award.

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

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

NCAAs Ford Award Tennessee .coach Pat Summitt is the recipient of

the 2012 NCAA President’s Gerald R. Ford Award.. Announced on Dec. 6 the award is named in rec-

ognition of former President Gerald Ford, honors an individual who has provided signifi cant lead-ership as an advocate for intercollegiate athletics over the course of their career.

Summitt is widely known as the foremost am-bassador for women’s basketball.

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

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

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

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

Her Lady Vols are playing at Kentucky that night, so Summitt will address the Convention attend-ees in a taped video message.

We Back Pat To coincide with National Alzheimer’s Disease

Awareness Month the matchup between the No. 6/7 Lady Vols and the No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears on Sun., Nov. 27th was designated as the fi rst of two, “We Back Pat” games.

The Vols will also participate in a “We Back Pat” game in January, when Coach Cuonzo Martin and the Big Orange take on the Connecticut Hus-kies on January 21st (CBS).

Thousands of fans wore the “We Back Pat” t-shirt to the Baylor game as 16,623 spectators were on hand.

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

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

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

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

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

The aim of her Foundation is to make grants to non-profi t organizations which provide educa-tion and awareness of Alzheimer’s, its onset and treatment; support services to patients, their

families and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent, cure and ultimately eradicate the dis-ease.

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

Amazing Summitt Numbers

Pat Summitt’s teams have faced 164 opponents in 1,276 total games and teams from 35 confer-ences

46% of her 1,276 total games have been played versus ranked teams (594 total games against ranked opponents) with 432 victories versus ranked opponents

Summitt Receives Courage Award The United States Sports Academy presented

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

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

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

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

Zaharias’ spirit and zest for life, as well as her courage, strength, and achievement, are the



qualities for which this award is named. The Babe’s fi ght to overcome life-threatening cancer and then return to the winner’s circle in women’s professional golf has withstood the test of time.

Quick HittersPride in Board Play Coach Pat Summitt’s mantra of defense and

boards has been a staple of her nearly four de-cades of coaching.

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

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

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

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

Since losing the battle of the boards to Miami, Tennessee has not be outrebounded again.

Overall this season, the Lady Vols hold an +10.0 rebounding advantage, 48.4-38.4.

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

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

StreakingWe were Streaking into 2011-12 The Lady Vols had a 38-game home court win-

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

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

Baylor, 76-67, on Nov. 27, 2011, since then UT is 2-0.

The last time UT lost on the road was on Nov. 20, 2011 at Virginia, 69-64 OT. Since then, UT has not played a road games.

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

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

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

Stricklen has started 111 consecutive games and is joined in the elite club by a pair of players on UT opponent rosters.

DePaul senior forward Keisha Hampton has also started 111 consecutive games while Miami’s (Fla.) Shenise Johnson has been in the starting fi ve for 106 consecutive games.

Miami traveled to Knoxville for the State Farm TipOff on (a 92-76 UT win). UT and DePaul met in Madison Square Garden on Dec. 11 in the Mag-gie Dixon Classic (an 84-61 UT win).

Elite CompanyGlory -- Maybe This Season? It’s a fact that Tennessee has produced some of

the greatest players ever in women’s collegiate basketball.

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

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

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

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

Johnson is currently averaging 9.4 rpg.

Johnson Could be the Fourth UT senior Glory Johnson needs just 71 rebounds

to pass the 1,000 rebound plateau. Only three other Lady Vols have managed to

grab 1,000 rebounds -- Chamique Holdsclaw (1,295), Sheila Frost (1,038) and Tamika Catchings (1,004). Six other UT players snagged over 900 career rebounds.

TBA - The Place to PlayRocky Top, You’ll Always Be... Home, sweet home, to me.... On good ole Rocky

Top, Tennessee has already entertained the home fans to a scoring bonanza this season av-eraging 82.5 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 63.0 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,249 fans per game.

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

Arena is still the toughest women’s basketball arena in the nation to secure a win. The Lady Vols have fashioned a 344-21 all-time record on “The Summitt” for a 94.45 winning percentage since the doors were opened in 1987.

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

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

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

The fl oor had a complete overhaul with perma-nent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols paint-ed directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted orange with “SEC” re-versed out; the giant jump circle/mid-court TEN-NESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s actual sig-nature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches.

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

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

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

UT has now amassed a 344-21(.941) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thomp-son-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 25-years ago.

Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced 10

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

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

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

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

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

The 21 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 11 teams: Baylor (2011), Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Geor-gia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stan-ford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

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

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

Summitt has won 91.6 percent of all home games in 38 years producing a 496-46 overall record.

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

On the Court100 Point Games Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the

century mark 76 times. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games

to lead the NCAA. UT has a record of 73-3 all-time in 100-point

games and a 51-0 record when hitting the cen-tury mark at Thompson-Boling Arena.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

with 1,176 victories. The next closest program all-time in terms of wins is Louisiana Tech, which owns a 1,000-212 record (entering the 2011-12 season). The Lady Vols boast a 1,174-255-2 (.827) all-time record.

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

coaching ranks has ever beaten Head Coach Pat Summitt.

Lady Vol HonoreesTrio Named

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

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

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

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

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

The Tennessee trio has collected accolades throughout the preseason. Johnson made the list of nominees for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and was named to the Wooden Award Top 30 list in October. Stricklen joined Johnson on the Wooden Award Top 30 list and was named to the Associated Press Preseason All-America squad. Johnson, Stricklen and Simmons were each named to Preseason All-SEC squads with Stricklen tabbed preseason player of the year.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We Love a Happy Meal The Tennessee Lady Vols must lead the nation

with the number of McDonald’s High School All-Americans on their roster in 2011-12 with eight players.

Tennessee’s McDonald’s All-Americans: Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson, Alicia Manning, Meighan Simmons, Shekinna Stricklen, Taber Spani, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale.

2011-12 Archive NotesGarden Party

Tennessee’s appearance in Madison Square Gar-den, “the world’s most famous basketball arena,” marks the fourth time for the Lady Vols.

UT has a 3-0 record at MSG. In all previous trips to the Garden, Rutgers has

been the opponent each time. Lady Vol All-American and Olympian Chamique

Holdsclaw traveled to her hometown for her se-nior year in 1998-99. It marked UT’s fi rst trip to The Garden.

The game was played before the largest crowd to ever see a women’s collegiate basketball game in the Garden, 15,735.

The trip was billed as the NYC homecoming for Holdsclaw who hailed from Astoria in Queens.

Second-ranked UT had little trouble with the No. 15/13-ranked Scarlet Knights winning 68-54 on Jan. 3, 1999.

The next visit was a meeting between #2 ranked Tennessee, who was trying to rebound from a loss at UConn, and #9/10-ranked Rutgers, in a defensive struggle in Madison Square Garden on Jan. 2, 2001, as the Lady Vols won 58-51.

In the 2001 game at MSG, Lady Vol senior All-American Tamika Catchings was forced to wear the “blood jersey” (number 55), after her number 24 orange road jersey turned up missing when the UT managers did the team laundry after the game versus UConn in Hartford. It never did ap-pear on eBay.

The Lady Vols were invited to play in the Mag-gie Dixon Classic in 2009 with Rutgers as the op-ponent once again. No. 4/3-ranked Tennessee defeated the Scarlet Knights, 68-54, on Dec. 13.

Maggie Dixon ClassicClassic Notes

This marks the second time the Lady Vols have participated in the Maggie Dixon Classic.

Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt is the 2011 recipi-ent of the Maggie Dixon Courage Award. Sum-mitt will be honored by the Dixon family during a second half time out in the Classic’s fi rst game between Baylor and St. John’s.

Ironically, the last game Maggie Dixon ever coached at Army was against Tennessee. In 2006 Tennessee, Army, Old Dominion and George Washington were all bracketed together in Norfolk, Virginia, for NCAA First /Second Round games.

The night before the Tennessee vs. Army contest both coaching staff s found themselves dining at the same Virginia Beach seafood restaurant.

Basketball talk ensued that evening and the next day the two teams met on the court.

The game won’t be remembered as Army’s fi rst appearance in the NCAA Tournament under

a rookie head coach but as the game in which Tennessee redshirt freshman Candace Parker dunked twice as the Lady Vols won going away, 102-54 on March 19, 2006.

The next week, the Lady Vols met Rutgers in the Sweet 16 in the Cleveland Regional (a 76-69 win) but lost to North Carolina in the Regional Cham-pionship, 75-63.

Sadly, Maggie Dixon passed away after the Final Four in Boston on April 6, 2006.

Starting with a Pair of L’s The last time the Lady Vols opened the season

with a 2-2 record was during the 1990-91 cam-paign. Tennessee went on to a 30-5 overall record and captured the 1991 National Championship.

Tennessee opened that season with a win over Stanford (the defending NCAA Champs)...lost by 13 at N.C. State...defeated Virginia Tech on the road ... then lost at Vanderbilt by 14 points.

Including this season, back-to-back losses have only occurred 25 times during Coach Pat Sum-mitt’s 38-year career at Tennessee.

Before losing back-to-back to Virginia and #1-ranked Baylor (Nov. 20 & 27, 2011), the last oc-currence was during the 11 loss 2008-09 season.

UT lost back-to-back games twice that year -- at Duke and Kentucky (Feb. 16 & 19) and vs. Auburn and Ball State (Mar. 7 & 22).

Tennessee suff ered back-to-back losses three times in the 10 loss, 1996-97 NCAA Champion-ship “Cinderella Season.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Good Neighbors The 2011 meeting with Miami in the State Farm

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

Making a Claim

In the fi rst TipOff in 1993, Lady Vol coach Pat Sum-mitt picked up her 500th career victory.

In the TipOff in 1998, Purdue and Coach Carolyn Peck halted the Lady Vols school record 46-game consecutive winning streak.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The list of opening day rookie starters: Taber Spani, 2009, Glory Johnson and Shekinna Strick-len, 2008, Angie Bjorklund, 2007, Candace Park-er, 2005, Shyra Ely 2001, Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiff ani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.

The Nod With Ariel Massengale getting the opening day

start against Pepperdine, she became the 61st rookie all-time to earn a starting assignment at UT. Last season, Meighan Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Cibolo, Texas, became the 60th rook-ie all-time to earn a starting assignment at Ten-nessee.

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

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

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

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

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

A season earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods during the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Horn-buckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts. This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rookies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GAME 7#7 UT vs. DePaul // Dec. 11, 2011

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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