TOP-25 MATCHUP WITH UNC No. 16/14 Tennessee plays its second

game of the week, as No. 22/RV North Caro-lina comes to Knoxville for a 1 p.m. tip-off on Sunday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Fox Sports Network will televise the con-

test, with coverage expanding to Fox Sports Tennessee and Fox Sports Carolinas region-ally. Local station MyVLT will simulcast. It will mark the fi rst TV appearance of

2012-13 for the Big Orange. The Lady Vols enter with a 5-1 record, hav-

ing won their last fi ve games, while the Tar Heels bring a 7-0 mark into the matchup. Youth is a major theme of this meeting,

as Tennessee sports only two seniors and a junior in its upperclass, while North Carolina counters with three seniors and no juniors. UT lost all fi ve starters, including three

WNBA picks, from last year’s NCAA Elite Eight squad, while UNC saw three starters and two others depart from a 20-11 club that did not make the NCAA Tournament.

GET READY, ‘CAUSE HERE THEY COME In addition to the marquee matchup on

the court, Thompson-Boling Arena will fea-ture special musical entertainment on Sunday. Scheduled to sing the National Anthem

and perform at halftime are members of The Temptations Revue, a tribute featuring Nate Evans. The group performs a popular show at a theatre in nearby Pigeon Forge. Evans, who performed alongside the orig-

inal members of The Temptations, headlines a group that sings such 60’s classics as “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” “Get Ready,” Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do” among an incredible catalog of hits.

UT-UNC SERIES HISTORY This marks the 18th meeting between UT

and UNC, with the Big Orange holding a 14-3 advantage, including a 6-0 record at home. This will be the second straight time in the

series these two schools have met on Dec. 2, as their last encounter came on that date in 2007. UT won the battle, 83-79, in Knoxville. This marks the fi rst time these teams have

played with both teams outside the AP Top Ten since 1986.

LAST TIME THEY MET Exactly fi ve years ago on this date, North

Carolina broke a 26-year-old Tennessee oppo-nent record with 57 rebounds, but the No. 1/1 Lady Vols improved to 6-0 with an 83-79 vic-tory over the No. 4/5 Tar Heels at Thompson-Boling Arena. Alexis Hornbuckle scored 25 points, Can-

dace Parker tallied 21 and Shannon Bobbitt added 10 for the Lady Vols, who knocked down 20 of 26 free throws in the contest.

BY THE NUMBERS

» Freshman forward/center Bashaara Graves has scored in double fi gures in all six contests of her rookie season at Tennes-see entering the UNC game.

9» Tennessee entered the week ranked ninth in the NCAA in points per game at 82.4, and it elevated that average to 83.3 after scoring 88 vs. Middle Tenn.

10» Meighan Simmons has scored 990 points in her career and stands just 10 away from becom-ing the 37th player in Lady Vol history to hit 1,000 points.

6

UNC had four players in double fi gures, led by Erlana Larkins with 22 points.

HATCHELL CUT HER TEETH AT UT UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell got her

start as a graduate assistant at Tennessee in the mid-1970s under Pat Summitt. Both were graduate assistants at the time,

as Summitt had just been named the head coach and Hatchell was in charge of the junior varsity squad. Prior to arriving at Rocky Top, Hatchell

was a 1974 cum laude graduate of Carson-Newman College in nearby Jeff erson City. After she earned a master’s degree in

physical education from UT in 1975, she be-came the head coach at Francis Marion, where she led the Lady Patriots to a 272-80 mark over 11 seasons. Hatchell is in her 27th season at UNC and

owns a 614-234 mark there as well as an 886-314 career record in 38 years of coaching.

UT 2-0 VS. ACC THIS SEASON Tennessee has picked up wins vs. two ACC

teams this season and sports an all-time mark of 86-19 vs. the league. The Lady Vols got their fi rst win of the

season and Holly Warlick’s fi rst career victory at (then) #22/20 Georgia Tech, winning by a 71-54 score on Nov. 11. UT also captured a road win at (then)

#23/23 Miami on Nov. 18, prevailing 79-67 over the Hurricanes in Coral Gables.

TENNESSEE 2-0 VS. TOP 25 TEAMS The Southeastern Conference is 3-5 thus

far in 2012-13 vs. Top 25 teams. Tennessee has two of those victories, each of them on the road. The Big Orange women defeated #23/23

Miami in Coral Gables on Nov. 18, 79-67, snap-ping the Hurricanes’ 41-game home winning streak. The Lady Vols also upended #22/20

Georgia Tech on the road, 71-54, on Nov. 11 in the fi rst women’s game played in McCamish Pavilion.

TOUGHEST PLACE TO PLAY Thompson-Boling Arena has long had a

reputation as a tough place to play for visi-tors. UT began its 26th season in the venue

with 353-23 record, good for a nation-leading winning percentage of 93.9%. The Lady Vols are 3-0 thus far in 2012-13,

improving the overall mark to 356-23. Tennessee has posted 11 seasons with no

losses in the facility but is coming off a cam-paign with its most-ever home setbacks at 12-3.

LADY VOLS COMING OFF OT WIN Tennessee defeated a strong Middle Ten-

nessee squad on Nov. 28, overcoming an 11-point second-half defi cit to triumph in ov-vertime, 88-81, in Knoxville. The Lady Vols improved to 20-0 in the

series, but it took a valiant comeback to turn back the upset-minded Blue Raiders. Senior guard Kamiko Williams was a

catalyst in UT’s turnabout, contributing nine points and fi ve rebounds at crucial points and adding three timely steals and assists during the Big Orange’s run down the stretch. Junior Meighan Simmons paced UT in

scoring for the fourth time in six games, scorching the nets for 19 points in 41 tiring minutes of duty. Freshman Bashaara Graves scored in

double fi gures for the sixth time in as many games and registered her second career dou-ble-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds to go along with three steals in 39 minutes. Sophomores Ariel Massengale and Isa-

belle Harrison tossed in 15 and 10 points, re-spectively, to aid the victorious cause. After a slow fi rst half on the boards, Ten-

nessee wound up with 21 off ensive boards, which were key to UT’s 25-12 edge in second-chance points. UT improved to 28-16 in overtime games

and snapped a two-game extra-frames losing skid from last season.

FREE THROWS MAKE A DIFFERENCE Tennessee continues to shoot well as a

team from the free throw line, hitting at a .707 clip that ranks second in the SEC. The Lady Vols nailed eight of nine in the

second half, seven of eight in overtime and 16

of 21 for the game (.762) in the tight win over Middle Tennessee. Top shooters include Andraya Carter

(.900, 9-10), Meighan Simmons (.882, 15-17) and Jasmine Jones (.833, 5-6).

UT INJURY/ABSENCE UPDATE Freshman guard Andraya Carter suff ered

an injured right shoulder late in the game vs. Middle Tennessee. X-rays were negative, and Carter has un-

dergone treatment and rehab since then. She practiced Friday with the team. Carter injured the same shoulder vs. Mi-

ami but didn’t miss any games. Sophomore guard Jasmine Phillips did

not dress for the Middle Tennessee game due to a violation of team rules. Phillips’ status for the North Carolina

game has not been announced.

WHAT THE HEELS HAVE DONE North Carolina is coming off an impres-

sive win over a ranked team, as the Tar Heels claimed a 57-54 victory over No. 15 Ohio State on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Chal-lenge in Chapel Hill. Xylina McDaniel, Waltiea Rolle and Tierra

Ruffi n-Pratt each scored 11 points to fuel UNC in a game that saw 14 lead changes and the home team nearly waste a 16-point second-half lead. UNC defeated Davidson (70-59),

Duquesne (62-58), Georgetown (63-48) and Iowa (77-64) to win its second-ever Pre-season WNIT title on Nov. 9-18. Tierra Ruffi n-Pratt was the tourney’s MVP,

scoring 22 points in the fi nal, while Xylina Mc-Daniel earned all-tournament honors. Tennessee is scheduled to face Davidson

in Knoxville on Dec. 28. MOVING ON UP Tennessee has gone 5-0 since dropping

the opener to Chattanooga and has climbed in the polls. The result is an ascent to a season-best

ranking of No. 16 in the AP Poll and a top perch of 14th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. UT opened the season at No. 20 in the AP

Poll and 16th in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

NO MERCY FOR FAMILY Holly Warlick is 1-0 as head coach vs.

teams directed by former Lady Vols and 2-0 against teams with former UT staff ers on the payroll. Tennessee beat Alcorn State (90-37),

which was led by former UT player Tonya Ed-wards as the Lady Braves’ head coach. The Lady Vols toppled Middle Tennessee

(88-81 ot), which employs former Lady Vol Alex Fuller as an assistant coach and former UT video coordinator Dustin Edwards as di-rector of operations.

on the road, Tennessee is enjoying the third of three straight contests at home. After defeating Alcorn State and Middle

PROBABLE LADY VOL STARTERS


PASSING THE BATON: PAT SUMMITT HANDS OFF TO HOLLY WARLICK

SUMMITT STEPS INTO NEW ROLE On April 18, 2012, the all-time wins lead-er among NCAA basketball coaches, Pat Summitt, announced in a press conference at Thompson-Boling Arena that she was stepping away from her head coaching position and into the role of head coach emeritus after 38 seasons (1974-2012) at the helm of the Tennessee Lady Vols. Summitt will report to Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart and will serve in a variety of endeavors. In that ca-pacity, she will continue to serve the wom-en’s basketball program and its coaching staff and as a liaison to the director of athletics, remain involved in on-campus recruiting and serve as a personal mentor to players, including life skills coaching. Summitt fi nished her head coaching ca-reer at Tennessee with a 1,098-208 record and an .841 winning percentage. The Lady Vols won an unparalleled eight national championships under her leadership (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007, 2008) and played in 13 nation-al championship games. Tennessee also won the SEC Champi-onship and SEC Tournament title 16 times

each, and Summitt was named SEC Coach of the Year eight times and NCAA Coach of the Year in seven seasons. Her sixth national championship team, the 1997-98 team, fi nished a perfect 39-0. “It is extremely diffi cult to adequately express what Pat Summitt has meant to the University of Tennessee, the sport of basketball and the growth of women’s ath-letics nationally,” said Hart. “She is an icon who does not view herself in that light, and her legacy is well-defi ned and everlasting. Just like there will never be another John Wooden, there will never be another Pat Summitt. I look forward to continuing to work with her in her new role. She is an inspiration to everyone.”

WARLICK CHOSEN TO LEAD UT After Summitt’s announcement was made, associate head coach Holly Warlick, a long-time assistant on the Tennessee staff and a three-time All-American as a player for the Lady Vols, was named Sum-mitt’s successor by Dave Hart. Warlick, who in 2011-12 completed her 27th season as an assistant coach for Ten-nessee and her 31st overall with the pro-

gram as a player or coach, is the fi rst head coach of the Lady Vols other than Summitt since 1974, when Margaret Hutson complet-ed a four-year tenure as the leader of the program (1971-74). Named associate head coach before the 2005-06 season, Warlick has been on the Tennessee coaching staff for all eight NCAA titles, and as a player or assistant, she had a role in 949 of Summitt’s 1,098 victories at Tennessee. “Holly Warlick has earned the oppor-tunity to be the head women’s basketball coach at the University of Tennessee and to lead the Lady Vol program she has em-braced as a player and a coach,” Hart said. “I watched Holly grow tremendously as a coach throughout this past season. Under unique circumstances, the job she did away from the glare of the lights and crowds was as impressive as the job she did during game action. At this time in our historic program, which Pat Summitt built from scratch, Holly Warlick, the former player and long-time assistant coach, is deserving of the head coaching position. Her mentor will be avail-able for insight and advice, but this is Holly’s team now.”

Tennessee, UT welcomes No. 22/NR North Carolina on Sunday.

TEXAS NEXT FOR THE LADY VOLS After facing North Carolina on Sunday,

Tennessee won’t play again until it faces No. 13/18 Texas in Austin on Dec. 16. That 13-day break between games comes

during a time when fi nals are taking place for the Lady Vols. The trip to the Lone Star State doesn’t

end in the state capital, as the Lady Vols head up to Waco afterward for a Dec. 18 meeting with No. 3/3 Baylor.

THE QUEST FOR 1,000 POINTS Meighan Simmons stands 10 points away

(990) from scoring her 1,000th point as a Lady Vol, something only 36 other players have done at Tennessee.

RECORD WATCH FOR SIMMONS Meighan Simmons needs one three-

pointer to move into a tie for 10th with Abby Conklin (124, 1994-97) on Tennessee’s career three-point fi eld goals made list. She enters the North Carolina game with 123 treys in 79 games played.

BEAST MODE To say that UT freshman forward/center

Bashaara Graves has been an impact player would be an understatement. Her teammates aff ectionately call her

“The Beast” for her productive play. After coming off the bench in the opener,

Graves has been in the starting lineup since then. She is the only player on the team to score

in double fi gures in every game thus far. Graves leads the team and ranks third in

the SEC in scoring average (15.8 ppg.), and she is fi rst for UT in rebounding (7.8 rpg) and and minutes per game (28.0) and second in

In recognition of being a former Olympian, Warlick earned the honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville on ts way to the 1996 Olympic Games in At-lanta. Prior to joining the Tennessee staff for the 1985-86 season, Warlick gained experience at two other stops on the coaching circuit. She was an assistant coach at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 1983-85 at Nebraska. A native of Knoxville, Warlick earned her B.S. in marketing from Tennessee in 1981 and her master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1983. Warlick added “biker” to her vitae in 2001. To com-memorate her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a number of Warlick’s friends got together and presented her with a Harley-Davidson “Sportster” motorcycle. Just six years later, Warlick already was using her love of the bike towards a greater cause, es-tablishing the Champions For A Cause Foundation with Caldwell.

A YEAR-BY-YEAR LOOKAT WARLICK’S CAREER

HEAD COACH HOLLY WARLICK

THE WARLICK FILE

Born: June 11, 1958Education:

Bearden High School (Knoxville, Tenn.),‘76 B.S., Tennessee, ‘81 M.S., Virginia Tech, ‘83Playing Career:

University of Tennessee (1976-80): three-time All-American, Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, 1980 Olympic Team, fi rst player at UT to have her jersey (#22) retired

For more than three decades, Holly Warlick has been instrumental in the phenomenal success story that is Tennessee Lady Vols basketball. Her impact on the program stretches from her ground-breaking days as a three-time All-America point guard at UT (1976-80), to her 27 highly-productive years as a loyal assistant for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt, to her ascension to the head coaching position at UT. Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart named Warlick head coach of the Lady Vols on April 18, 2012, as Summitt stepped into the role of head coach emeritus. In a touching and symbolic gesture at a press conference announcing the changes, Summitt present-ed her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and for-mer fl oor general. While Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball on Summitt’s staff for more than a quar-ter of a century, the pupil took on greater responsibility and oversaw daily supervision of the basketball offi ce during the 2011-12 season. She also handled a large mea-sure of the media obligations after Summitt’s Aug. 23 announcement regarding the diagnosis of early onset dementia, “Alzheimer’s Type.” Providing an excellent example of how people rally around each other, the Tennessee staff members pulled together remarkably in the face of that adversity. The end result was a 27-9 overall record, a league-best 16th SEC Tournament Championship and advancement to the NCAA Regional Final. As Warlick embarks on her 28th season on the staff at Tennessee, it is important to note that she was by Summitt’s side, either as a player or an assistant, for 949 of the coach’s NCAA-record 1,098 wins and all eight NCAA National Championships. Her value to the program has been evident for some time, as she has held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also recognized Warlick’s contribu-tions to Tennessee’s success through the years, naming Warlick the nation’s top assistant coach after she helped lead UT to its seventh national title in 2007. The NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches also recognized Warlick as one of the nation’s top assistants in 1998, ranking her prominently in The Women’s Basketball Journal poll. In addition to the NCAA title and coaching honor in 2007, Warlick also teamed up for the fi rst time with for-mer fellow Lady Vol player and assistant Nikki Caldwell, the current head coach at LSU, to pursue her other passion. That pursuit is riding a motorcycle and raising money for the fi ght against breast cancer. Warlick and Caldwell created the Champions For A Cause Foundation, a long haul motorcycle ride dedicat-ed to raising funds and awareness for a cure for breast cancer. The charitable organization has raised and do-nated more than $125,000, and in the spring of 2011 the

duo led a fi fth annual trip - this time from the Badlands to Las Vegas. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips to Key West, Fla., New Orleans and Niagara Falls. On Feb. 10, 2008, Warlick and Caldwell presented a $10,000 check to the late N.C. State Head Coach Kay Yow and the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. With all of her accomplishments in coaching and in her charitable endeavors it might be easy to overlook the fact that Warlick left just as powerful a mark on women’s hoops as a player at UT. It doesn’t seem that long ago that the charismatic Knoxville native was fl ying up and down the court as a Lady Vol All-America point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been con-sidered the fi nest point guard to ever play for the Lady Vols. In addition to being selected to the CONVERSE/Lady Vol Team of the Decade for the 1980s in January of 1994, fi ve diff erent halls of fame opened their doors to her. On Feb. 27, 2004, she was inducted into the Tennes-see Sports Hall of Fame. In October 2002, she became a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame in the second class of inductees. In June 2001, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selected Warlick as one of 10 inductees into the Hall for the Class of 2001. For the hometown girl, who grew up in the Rocky Hill section of Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School (where her No. 22 basketball jersey was retired on Oct. 26, 2012), it was a dream-come-true. In the summer of 1994, Warlick gained admission to her fi rst hall of fame. She was honored as one of the City of Knoxville’s fi nest all-time athletes with her inclusion in the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including this season, Warlick has invested 32 years in the program, having helped shape UT into a national powerhouse with tenure as both a player and a coach. Warlick’s expertise and major contributions to the team have come from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, freshman point guard Meighan Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm All-America Team. Additionally, Warlick has been a highly-successful recruiter for the backcourt, attracting some of the na-tion’s fi nest players to UT to continue the excellence she helped establish as a player. The Lady Vols welcomed another top fl ight guard to the Orange and White for 2010-11 when she landed McDonald’s All-American Ariel Massengale. As a rookie in 2011-12, Massengale lived up to her billing, earning Full Court Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. The point guard posted a UT freshman record of 162 assists, ranking second in the SEC in that category, and leading the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak All-American and four-time Lady Vol All-SEC performer Kara Lawson and three-time All-SEC selec-tion Shanna Zolman. That trio accounts for the school records for most of UT’s three-point marks. Warlick’s association with the Lady Vols started in 1976 when she joined the program as a scholarship 400-meter track athlete who walked on to the basket-ball team. Soon, she would become the most prolifi c player in the history of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball. Warlick was the fi rst player in Tennessee athletics (men or women) to have her jersey retired (No. 22) at the end of her career in 1980. Known as a play-making wiz during her four years as UT’s point guard, Warlick was once tabbed the “best player in the South.” As a rookie, Warlick helped lead the Lady Vols to their fi rst Final Four appearance in school history in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusi-asm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 31 years Warlick has been affi liated with UT, she has found herself at the Final Four as a player (1977, 1979, 1980) or as a coach (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Her best Final Four show-ing as a player was national championship runner-up in her senior season. As a coach, she has helped the Lady Vols grab the brass ring all eight times (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008). A three-time All-American while playing for Sum-mitt from 1976-80, Warlick previously held UT records for most assists in a game (14), most steals in a contest (nine), most assists in a season (225) and most games in a career (142). She continues to hold the Lady Vol

steals (2.0 spg.). She has been UT’s scoring leader twice

(18 vs. Ga. Tech/20 vs. Miami) and paced UT’s rebound eff ort vs. Georgia Tech, as well, post-ing double doubles of 18/10 in UT’s fi rst win of the season and 15/12 vs. Middle Tennessee. Graves’ eff ort vs. Georgia Tech, along

with 14 points and eight rebounds vs. Chat-tanooga, led to her being named the SEC Freshman of the Week on Nov. 12.

COUNTING ON CARTER Freshman guard Andraya Carter has

started fi ve of six games for Tennessee at point guard. Carter got the starting nod vs. Chatta-

nooga, becoming the 17th Lady Vol freshman since 1980 to start her fi rst game in a Tennes-see uniform. The current team has two other play-

ers who earned that honor, including Ariel Massengale (Pepperdine, 11/13/11) and Taber Spani (Baylor, 11/15/09). Carter was instrumental in the team’s win

over Miami, stroking a career-high four of fi ve three-point attempts and connecting on all four free throw attempts to tally 16 points to go along with three rebounds and three as-sists. Carter had been one of seven from long

distance prior to her Miami outburst.

ACTIVE IZZY Through six games, Isabelle Harrison is

Tennessee’s top shot blocker (2.8), second leading rebounder (7.7 rpg.) and ranks third on the team in scoring (9.8 ppg.). Harrison joins Bashaara Graves in pac-

ing the team in double-doubles this season, carding totals of 13 points and 12 rebounds in the opener vs. Chattanooga and tallying sums of 16 points and 12 boards vs. Rice. She has scored in double fi gures four

times. Izzy has blocked 17 shots this season, in-

cluding a career-best six swats in the game vs. Middle Tennessee. Her 2.8 bpg. average ranks fi rst in the SEC. Harrison scored in double fi gures only

twice all last season and averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per contest.

BALL SECURITY Ariel Massengale led the SEC in assist-to-

turnover ratio last season as a freshman at 2.1. She’s at it again as a sophomore. Through six games, Massengale has 20

assists and 12 turnovers. After posting 19 turnovers vs. Alcorn

State, UT committed only 13 in the overtime win over Middle Tennessee. Nine came in the fi rst half.

DISH NETWORK Ariel Massengale leads UT in assists

through six games with 20. Massengale dished out 162 assists last

season as a freshman, the most-ever by a Lady Vol rookie and the eighth-most in school history. It was the highest total of assists in a sea-

son by a UT player since Michelle Marciniak had 204 in 1994-95. That total ranked her second in the SEC

last season with an average of 4.9 per con-test, also the No. 2 all-time career average at UT at this point of her career. Cierra Burdick (2.8), Kamiko Williams

(2.5), Andraya Carter (2.0) and Meighan Sim-mons (2.0) also are averaging more than two assists per contest. With only fi ve turnovers vs. her 15 assists,

Kamiko Williams has a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH Tennessee ranks among the youngest

teams in the nation this season, tying for 20th with Southern Mississippi with 1.091 years of experience per player. UT opponents with young teams include

5. Florida (9.09), t6. North Carolina (1.000), 13. Georgia Tech (1.067), 14. Texas (1.069), 19. Rice (1.083) and 39. South Carolina (1.250). The Lady Vols have fi ve newcomers, in-

cluding four freshmen, on their 11-player ros-ter.

WORKING THE BOARDS Tennessee is outrebounding its oppo-

nents, 45.3 to 38.2, thus far. Freshman Bashaara Graves is leading the

way, averaging 7.8 per contest. Sophomore Isabelle Harrison is second,

pulling down 7.7 per contest, while sopho-more Cierra Burdick is tallying 6.3 per outing. Harrison had 12 boards vs. Rice and Chat-

tanooga. Against Georgia Tech Graves posted 12 and Jasmine Jones had 11. Burdick rustled up 10 vs. Miami, and Graves had 12 vs. MTSU.

CHANGES AT THE SUMMITT Pat Summitt attended both of UT’s ex-

hibition contests and the season opener at Chattanooga, but she was not in the crowd at Georgia Tech on Nov. 11. It marked the fi rst time the NCAA’s all-

time winningest coach was not at a Lady Vol game since Margaret Hutson was on the bench for UT in 1974. The home opener vs. Rice marked the

fi rst time someone other than Summitt has been head coach for the Lady Vols in a regu-lar season home game since the 1974 cam-paign as well. Summitt also did not attend the game at

Miami, as her son Tyler, an assistant coach for the Marquette women’s team, was in Atlanta for the Golden Eagles’ game vs. Georgia Tech. She was on hand for that contest.

TALES FROM THE ROAD Tennessee opened the 2012-13 campaign

with its fi rst two games on the road and three of the fi rst four contests away from Knoxville. The Lady Vols opened up at Chattanooga

on Nov. 9 and Georgia Tech on Nov. 11, los-ing the opener and bouncing back against the Yellow Jackets. The last time Tennessee opened a cam-

paign with back-to-back road games was 2004-05, when the top-ranked Lady Volun-teers defeated Chattanooga, 68-34, and NC State, 64-54, respectively, on Nov. 19 and 21. UT also played three out of its fi rst four on

the road that year as well, defeating George Washington at home on Nov. 23, 71-41, and dropping a 74-59 decision at No. 4 Texas on Nov. 25.

DRAWING CROWDS Fans in Big Orange Country are highly

supportive of their teams. Tennessee is the only school to rank in the

top fi ve for attendance in football and wom-en’s and men’s basketball. UT helped Chattanooga draw its third-

best attendance fi gure all-time, as 8,468 came out to McKenzie Arena. Georgia Tech posted its fi fth-largest home

crowd in history (5,517), as Tennessee helped the Yellow Jackets play the fi rst women’s game in newly-built McCamish Pavilion. The Lady Vols drew 10,913 for their home

opener vs. Rice after bringing out 10,647 (Car-son-Newman) and 10,137 (Coker) for their two exhibition contests. A total of 10,609 showed up for the Al-

corn State contest and 10,768 came to watch UT and Middle Tennessee’s in-state tussle.

INJURY UPDATE Sophomores Ariel Massengale and Jas-

mine Phillips missed both exhibition contests due to injury, but Massengale has played in all six regular season games. Massengale played 29 minutes and had

seven points, three rebounds and two assists vs. Chattanooga in her fi rst game back. Massengale was held out of the preseason

slate as a precautionary measure after experi-encing Achilles tendinitis (left foot). Phillips was dealing with a strained quad

in her left leg. She saw her fi rst action vs. Rice, contrib-

uting four rebounds, two assists and a steal in nine minutes. Andraya Carter landed hard on her right

shoulder vs. Miami but was back at practice and didn’t miss court time.

FIRST OPENER LOSS SINCE 1999 Tennessee opened its campaign on Nov.

9 at Chattanooga, dropping an 80-71 decision to the Lady Mocs in front of 8,468 at McKen-zie Arena. After averaging 22.0 points per game in

two exhibition games, junior guard Meighan Simmons led the Lady Vols vs. UTC with 23 points. She added six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 38 minutes of play. In her Lady Vol debut, freshman forward/

center Bashaara Graves contributed 14 points and eight boards. Sophomore center Isabelle Harrison

notched her fi rst-ever double-double with ca-reer highs of 13 points and 12 rebounds in only 17 minutes. UT outrebounded UTC, 53-31, but 26 turn-

overs and 38-percent shooting from the fi eld (3-16 from 3FG) could not be overcome by the Big Orange. The setback in the season opener was the

Lady Vols’ fi rst initial-game loss since No. 2/2 UT fell at home to No. 6/6 Louisiana Tech, 69-

SIGNING DAY 2012

During the early signing period, Tennes-see grabbed the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation, according to Dan Olson Colle-giate Girls Basketball Report. HoopGurlz/ESPNU has UT signing the No. 1 player (Mercedes Russell, 6-6, post, Springfi eld, Ore.), the No. 8 player (Jannah Tucker, 6-0, guard, Randallstown, Md.) and the No. 42 player (Jordan Reynolds, 5-11, guard, Portland, Ore.). Tennessee signed the No. 5 class in 2012 and its group of players in 2011 earned a No. 3 overall rat-ing.


RETIRED #22 JERSEY FOR HOLLY Holly Warlick already had her #22 jersey

retired at UT, and she added another retired #22 this fall. On Oct. 26 at a home football game,

Knoxville’s Bearden High School retired her basketball jersey. A number of family, friends, colleagues,

basketball staff and players and former high school coach Buddy Fisher were on hand for the special occasion. Warlick was a two-sport star who gradu-

ated in 1976 and came to UT on a track schol-arship. She walked on to the basketball team and went on to become a three-time All-American on the hardwood for Pat Summitt.

NEW FACES, NEW ROLES In addition to Holly Warlick fi lling the

head coaching position and Pat Summitt working in the role of head coach emeritus, there are other changes to the staff . Former Lady Vol player (1996-2001) Kyra

Elzy returned to UT as an assistant coach/re-cruiting coordinator after spending the past four seasons coaching at Kentucky and serv-ing as recruiting coordinator. Former Iowa standout and Harlem Glo-

betrotter Jolette Law is UT’s second new as-sistant coach. Known as a key contributor to Rutgers’ success during her 12 seasons there, Law most recently served as head coach at Illinois from 2007-12. Elzy and Law fi ll the spots previously oc-

cupied by Warlick and Mickie DeMoss, who left after last season to take an assistant coaching job with the WNBA’s Indiana Fever. Veteran assistant Dean Lockwood is back

for his ninth year with the Lady Volunteers.

ONLY THREE IN UPPERCLASS Tennessee has only two seniors this sea-

son, including 6-1 guard/forward Taber Spani and 5-11 guard Kamiko Williams. Both missed time with injuries last season. The junior class consists of Meighan Sim-

mons, a 5-9 guard who started 22 games last season and played in all 36. There are three sophomore returnees, in-

cluding 6-2 forward Cierra Burdick, 6-3 cen-ter Isabelle Harrison and 5-6 point guard Ariel Massengale. Burdick played in all 36 games as a rookie

and got three starts, Massengale played in 33 contests and started 24, while Harrison had 31 appearances without a start. Tennessee also welcomes 5-10 sopho-

more Jasmine Phillips and freshmen Andraya Carter (5-9, point guard), Bashaara Graves (6-2 forward/center), Jasmine Jones (6-2 forward) and Nia Moore (6-3 center).

EXPERIENCED RETURNEES Sophomore Ariel Massengale, junior

Meighan Simmons and seniors Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams possess some decent experience for Tennessee.

64, on Nov. 14, 1999, in the State Farm Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic at Thompson-Boling Arena. The loss vs. Chattanooga was UT’s fi rst

to the Lady Mocs since Jan. 26, 1973, a 58-55 setback in Knoxville. Tennessee is now 25-7 all-time vs. UTC.

SUMMITT DROPPED OPENER TOO Not that it’s any solace for Lady Vol coach

Holly Warlick, but her mentor, Pat Summitt, also dropped her fi rst game as head coach at UT. Summitt’s 1974-75 squad fell to Mercer in

Knoxville on Dec. 7, 1974, by a score of 84-83. The troops were rallied by Summitt, and

the squad went on to a 16-8 mark that season. Tennessee had fi ve seniors and a junior on

that 1974-75 squad, while the 2012-13 edition includes two seniors and a junior for its up-perclass.

EXHIBITION SUMMARY Tennessee defeated its two NCAA Divi-

sion II exhibition opponents by an average score of 111-44. The Lady Vols defeated Carson-Newman,

104-44, on Nov. 1 and followed with a 118-44 conquest of Coker on Nov. 4. The Big Orange averaged 10,392 fans for

the exhibition slate, with 10,647 attending the Carson-Newman contest and 10,137 there for Coker. Junior Meighan Simmons was the top

scorer through two preseason games, averag-ing 22 points per contest and also dishing out a team-leading six assists per outing. Freshman Bashaara Graves averaged a

double-double, scoring 19.5 points and pull-ing down 10 rebounds per game. Junior Meighan Simmons, sophomore Isa-

belle Harrison and freshman Andraya Carter started both contests. Freshman Bashaara Graves (Coker), sophomore Cierra Burdick (C-N), freshman Jasmine Jones (Coker) and senior Taber Spani (C-N) started one game.

TAKE THE BATON AND LET’S GO!! UT head coach Holly Warlick, who ar-

rived at UT in 1976 as a walk-on track & fi eld athlete, later earned a basketball scholarship and became a three-time All-American on the hardwood, used a well-known track & fi eld prop to demonstrate to her team what the expectations are and what needs to be done in this time of transition. During a team meeting in August, Warlick

gave everyone involved with the program a white baton with inscriptions providing a sim-plifi ed explanation of what is occurring, em-phasizing that the program’s values remain the same and encouraging everyone to hit the ground running. “TENNESSEE LADY VOLS Tradition...All

we are doing is passing the baton.” “NEW TEAM, NEW STAFF, NEW GOALS...

SAME HEART, SAME PRIDE, SAME FIGHT.” “TAKE THE BATON AND LET’S GO!!”

A LOOK AT THE RANKINGS After a 1-1 opening week, UT fell to No. 24

in the AP Poll and No. 20 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. After winning its last four contests, UT has

risen to No. 16/14 this week. Tennessee has been in every AP rankings

list since the 14th poll of the 1984-85 season. After week one, the Lady Vols fell outside

the top 20, however, for the fi rst time since the 13th poll of the 1984-85 campaign.

2012-13 LADY VOLS WEEK-BY-WEEK AT A GLANCE

UT began the campaign ranked No. 20 in the Associated Press Preseason Poll and No. 16 in the USA Today Coaches Preseason Poll. It marked UT’s lowest preseason AP Poll

position since not being ranked in the inau-gural AP Poll in 1976-77, Holly Warlick’s fresh-man season at Tennessee. The previous regular season low before

this season came when Tennessee dropped to 19th in the 16th AP Poll of the 2008-09 cam-paign before fi nishing in 18th position. The Lady Vols concluded the 2011-12 cam-

paign at No. 9 in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today/ESPN Poll.

COACHING ALMA MATER TO TOP 25 Holly Warlick is the 30th women’s coach

to play for and coach a team ranked in the AP Poll. She’s just the seventh to do it at the same

school.

SEC PRESEASON POLLS, ACCOLADES Tennessee was picked to fi nish fourth in the

SEC by the media and fi fth by the coaches in the preseason polls. UT ranked behind Kentucky, Georgia and

Vanderbilt in the media poll and was picked to wind up behind Kentucky, Georgia, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt by the coaches. In SEC media poll history, fourth is the

lowest the Lady Vols have been predicted behind nods for third in 1990-91, 1995-96 and 1996-97, all years in which Tennessee won NCAA titles. Junior guard Meighan Simmons was a

Preseason All-SEC First Team selection by the coaches and a second-team choice by the media, while the coaches put Ariel Massen-gale on the second team.

GOLDEN ARCHES CLUB Freshman Bashaara Graves adds to the

current list of Tennessee players who were McDonald’s All-Americans during their high school days. Also in that club are Cierra Burdick, Ariel

Massengale, Meighan Simmons and Taber Spani.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Head coach Emeritus Pat Summitt and

former Lady Vol player Michelle Marciniak were inducted into the Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame on Nov. 2. There is a 10-year post-career waiting pe-

riod for student-athletes and a fi ve-year pe-riod for coaches and staff , but the selection committee voted to waive that requirement for Summitt. Summitt and Marciniak join Holly Warlick

LADY VOL DOUBLE DOUBLES Massengale was UT’s starting point guard

in 24 games a year ago, while Simmons got the nod 22 times and Spani was on the fl oor for tipoff on 15 occasions despite dealing with a nagging knee injury. Sophomores Cierra Burdick and Isabelle

Harrison didn’t have the accolades their class-mate Massengale did in 2011-12, but their ex-perience should have them prepared to play more considerable roles in 2012-13.

SENIORS GRADUATE EARLY Seniors Taber Spani and Kamiko Williams

already have earned their degrees. Spani completed her degree in communi-

cation studies in August and now is pursuing a master’s in kinesiology with a concentration in sports psychology and motor behavior. Williams earned a degree in sociology/

criminal justice in spring 2012 and is working on a second undergraduate degree in psy-chology. Both kept UT’s 100-percent graduation

rate perfect.

WARLICK HAS FIVE NEWCOMERS Tennessee signed three players early last

year and added two more over the summer. The early signees included 6-2 forward/

center Bashaara Graves (Clarksville, Tenn./Clarksville H.S.), 5-9 point guard Andraya Carter (Flowery Branch, Ga./Buford H.S.) and 6-2 forward Jasmine Jones (Madison, Ala./Bob Jones H.S.).Graves, Carter and Jones ranked No. 5, No.

21 and No. 39 on the HoopGurlz 2012 ESPNU 100 Rankings. Jones’ mom, Latrish Jones, played basket-

ball at Alabama during the late 1990s. Warlick added 5-10 guard Jasmine Phil-

lips (Hartsville, S.C./Hartsville H.S./Louisburg, N.C. College) and 6-3 center Nia Moore (Chi-cago, Ill./Bolingbrook H.S.) on May 22 and May 25, respectively. Phillips was a JUCO All-American at Lou-

isburg College. Moore, who originally signed with Illinois

and was granted a release, was a three-star recruit, according to HoopGurlz. She played at Bolingbrook High School along with cur-rent UT teammate Ariel Massengale.

SEC GROWS, TOURNAMENT EXPANDS The SEC adds Missouri and Texas A&M

this season, bringing the total of league teams to 14. Each program will play a 16-game slate. The 2013 SEC Tournament will be held in

Duluth, Ga., at the Arena at the Gwinnett Cen-ter, March 6-10. The tournament, which had been a four-

day event featuring 12 teams, has expanded to 14 teams, adding an extra day of compe-tition. The tournament will now begin on Wednesday with two additional games that feature Seeds 11 through 14.

UT FINISHES IN ELITE EIGHT During a diffi cult and emotionally-charged

season, with speculation in the air about how much longer Pat Summitt would coach, Ten-nessee was somehow able to focus on the task at hand and fi nish with a 27-9 overall re-cord and 12-4 SEC mark, good for second in the league standings. The Lady Vols recorded their 36th-con-

secutive campaign with 20 or more wins and made the NCAA tournament fi eld for the 31st-straight season. The Lady Vols reeled off NCAA tourna-

ment wins over UT Martin (72-49) and #23 DePaul (63-48) in Chicago NCAA First/Sec-ond Round games. Tennessee advanced to the Des Moines

Regional, where the Big Orange turned back Kansas, 84-73, in the Sweet 16. Appearing in its 25th NCAA Regional Fi-

nal, Tennessee saw its season, and Summitt’s head coaching career as it turned out, come to an end in the Elite Eight. Eventual NCAA champ Baylor proved too much to overcome, prevailing, 77-58, in Des Moines. The Lady Vols ended the year ranked

number nine in the AP poll and seventh in the USA Today/ESPN rankings. Seniors Glory Johnson and Shekinna

Stricklen were named to the NCAA All-Re-gional Team for their play in Des Moines.

SEC TOURNEY CHAMPS AGAIN For the third-consecutive season, Tennes-

see reigned as SEC Tournament champions, defeating LSU in the fi nal, 70-58, in front of a partisan Big Orange crowd of 12,441 at Nash-ville’s Bridgestone Arena. It marked the 16th tourney trophy that UT

had won since the event fi rst was held in 1980. The Lady Vols also knocked off #25 South

Carolina in the semifi nals, 74-58, and defeated Vanderbilt, 68-57, in the quarterfi nal round. Seniors Glory Johnson and Shekinna

Stricklen were named to the SEC All-Tourna-ment Team, and Johnson walked away as the SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player. Johnson’s MVP recognition marked the

third-straight year a Lady Vol won, as she fol-lowed Stricklen in 2011 and Alyssia Brewer in 2010.

2012-13 Lineup Combinations Tennessee has utilized four starting lineups in 2012-13. During the 2011-12 season, UT employed eight diff erent starting lineups.

BREAKING IT DOWN

A LOOK BACK TO 2011-12


FOUR TAKEN IN WNBA DRAFT Lady Vols Shekinna Stricklen, Glory John-

son and Kelley Cain (fi nished UT career in 2010-11) were all taken in the fi rst round and Vicki Baugh was selected in the third round of the 2012 WNBA Draft presented by Boost Mo-bile, on Monday, April 16, at the ESPN head-quarters in Bristol, Conn. It was the best fi rst-round showing ever

in the draft for Tennessee with three players taken. The Lady Vols had two fi rst-round se-lections in 1997, 1999, 2003 and 2008. In all, 15 UT players have been fi rst-round

WNBA picks on draft day. Stricklen was taken by Seattle with the

second pick, Johnson went to Tulsa on the fourth pick, and Cain was taken by New York at No. 7. Baugh was drafted by Tulsa in the third round with the event’s 25th selection. Johnson, a 6-3 forward, made the 2012

WNBA All-Rookie Team. She averaged 11.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.2 steals per con-test while playing in 34 games and starting 28.

WBCA ALL-AMERICAN NO. 21 Glory Johnson became the 21st Lady Vol

all-time to receive kudos and earned UT’s 36th total WBCA/State Farm/Kodak All-America honor when she was named to the 2012 squad. Johnson averaged 14.2 points and 9.9 re-

bounds per game, starting all 36 contests for Tennessee.

SEC ACCOLADES Glory Johnson was named 2012 SEC De-

fensive Player of the Year and was a member of the SEC All-Defensive Team for the second season in a row. Johnson and Shekinna Stricklen were

members of the fi rst team of both the AP and Coaches All-SEC squads. Stricklen led UT in scoring (15.4 ppg.)

and was third in rebounding (6.6 rpg.), while Johnson was UT’s second-leading scorer (14.2 ppg.) and top rebounder (9.9 rpg.). Johnson also earned a spot on the SEC

Community Service Team. Point guard Ariel Massengale was named

to the SEC All-Freshman Team after tallying a UT freshman record of 162 assists and leading the SEC with a 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

FIVE PLAYERS END CAREERS Briana Bass, Vicky Baugh, Glory Johnson,

Alicia Manning and Shekinna Stricklen con-cluded their careers at Rocky Top, with the quintet accumulating four NCAA Tournament bids, three SEC Tournament titles, an SEC regular-season crown and a record of 114-26. Baugh, Johnson and Manning completed

their undergraduate degrees early and began work on master’s degrees during their fi nal season at Tennessee.

ACADEMIC ACCLAIM Glory Johnson was a 2012 Capital One Ac-

ademic All-America Women’s Basketball First Team honoree, posting a 3.60 grade point average while working on a master’s in com-munication and information studies. Johnson and Taber Spani were named to

the Capital One Academic All-District 3 Wom-en’s Basketball Team. Briana Bass, Vicki Baugh, Glory Johnson,

Alicia Manning and Taber Spani made the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Cierra Burdick and Isabelle Harrison were

named to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Tennessee opened the 2012-13 season with a tough 80-71 defeat at Chattanooga on Friday night at McKenzie Arena. The Lady Vols were led by Meighan Simmons, who scored 23 points -- 21 in the second half -- as the Lady Vols attempted to rally. Sophomore Isabelle Harrison had a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Freshman Bashaara Graves had 14 points and eight rebounds in her debut.

The loss came in the debut of Holly Warlick as head coach of the Lady Vols (0-1). A long-time assistant, Warlick replaced Hall of Famer Pat Summitt, who stepped down as coach during the off season after 38 years at the helm of the Lady Vols.

The Lady Mocs (1-0) were led by Taylor Hall, who had 24 points and nine rebounds as Chattanooga beat the Lady Vols for the fi rst time in 20 meetings. UTC’s last win over Tennessee came in 1973.

UTC had three others in double fi gures: Alex Black (14), Kayla Christopher (11) and Ashlen Dewart (10).

With the game tied at 28 at halftime, Chattanooga opened the second half out-scoring the Lady Vols 15-7, as they took a 43-35 lead on a Dewart jumper with 16:13 left in the game.

The Lady Mocs continued to maintain the lead throughout the second half. The lead moved to 10, at 52-42, on Black jumper with 11:37 left in the half. Tennessee battled back to within six (53-47) and seven on several occasions, but was never able to overcome the defi cit.

Freshman Jasmine Jones hit a jumper with 1:11 left to cut the margin to seven, 72-65, forcing UTC to call a timeout.

The Lady Mocs made their free throws down the stretch to secure the win. Chat-tanooga made all eight foul shots in the fi nal minute for the nine-point win.

The Lady Vols stood tied at 28 all at halftime as Massengale sank a half-court shot at the buzzer. Graves had nine points and seven rebounds in the fi rst half of her debut as a collegian.

Chattanooga went on a 13-0 run to rally from a 20-11 defi cit to lead 24-20 with 1:52 left in the fi rst half as Kylie Lambert made a free throw. The Lady Vols were held scoreless for more than six minutes before Graves hit a layup with 1:31 left in the fi rst half.

Tennessee pounded UTC on the glass in the fi rst half, 25-12, but committed 17 turnovers to even out the advantage.

ATLANTA -- Freshman Bashaara Graves scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds Sunday, and fellow Tennessee forward Cierra Burdick added a career-high 16 points as the No. 20 Lady Volunteers beat No. 22 Georgia Tech 71-54 to spoil the Yellow Jackets’ debut in McCamish Pavilion.

The Yellow Jackets (0-1) trailed 45-30 at halftime before starting the second half with a 13-0 run. The Lady Vols (1-1) bettered that with an 18-0 knockout streak to even their record in their second game under new head coach Holly Warlick.

Junior Tyaunna Marshall scored 18 and Dawnn Maye added 12 for Georgia Tech in its new on-campus arena.

The second game of the post-Pat Summitt era went a lot better for Tennessee than the fi rst.

Tennessee lost 80-71 Friday at Chattanooga after the Mocs broke a halftime tie with a 52-point second half in which they shot 56.3 percent. The Lady Vols had 26 turnovers and just six assists in that game.

Sunday, the Lady Vols had 17 of each, and it was the Yellow Jackets who were loose with the ball in their fi rst game. Tech had 20 turnovers and just eight assists.

Summitt, who announced last year that she has early-onset dementia before stepping down in April, sat fi ve rows behind the Tennessee bench at the game with Chattanooga, but was not at Georgia Tech.

Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick, who played for Summitt and then was an assistant for her for 27 seasons, said after the Chattanooga game that her inexperienced team did not yet appreciate the importance of playing earnest defense.

Without a starter back from the team that lost an NCAA regional fi nal to eventual national champion Baylor last spring, Tennessee defended more passionately at Georgia Tech.

The Lady Vols also dominated the paint in the fi rst half. They led 45-30 at intermission on the strength of 15 points by Burdick and 14 points and eight rebounds from Graves.

Georgia Tech starting power forward Danielle Hamilton-Carter and starting center Nariah Taylor, meanwhile, were each scoreless in the fi rst half without attempting a shot.

The Yellow Jackets, however, rallied furiously at the start of the second half. Marshall got to the rim for seven points during their 13-0 run, and Maye’s layup with 15:25 remaining pulled Georgia Tech within 45-43.

Then, the Lady Vols snapped back to life.

A jumper by Jasmine Jones ended Tennessee’s scoreless streak a minute later and started an 18-0 run for the visitors.

When Georgia Tech coach MaChelle Joseph called for a timeout with nine minutes left, the Lady Vols led 60-43 after Ariel Massengale’s layup off of Tennessee’s ninth steal of the game.

The Yellow Jackets to that point had seen Marshall, Maye and Wallace -- two returning starters and a sophomore who become a starter late last season and then made 19 3-point shots in Tech’s three NCAA tournament games -- take 40 of their team’s fi rst 51 shots and score 38 of the fi rst 43 points.

When Hamilton-Carter scored from point-blank range with 6:46 left in the game, that ended a score-less streak of 8:38, but the Jackets trailed 63-45.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Bashaara Graves had 20 points, Ariel Massengale hit big free throws at the end and the No. 24/20 Lady Vols survived No. 23 Miami’s two big second-half runs to defeat the Hurricanes, 79-67.

With the win, UT ended Miami’s 41-game home winning streak.

“A game like that will age you real quick,” UT head coach Holly Warlick said. “I’m just pleased with our team. I’m glad to see that we got off to a pretty strong lead. In the fi rst half, our defense was pretty solid. Our off ense - we got good looks and then in the second half, I thought Miami adjusted. They started attacking us and we fouled, stopped the clock and they hit big shots. They didn’t have a quit to them and, fortunately, we didn’t have a quit as well. I’m very pleased with the win and our overall team eff ort.”

After storming out of the gate to a 46-21 halftime advantage thanks to Graves and Andraya Carter, Tennessee (3-1) watched Miami (2-1) mount a huge comeback in the second half as the Hurricanes climbed to within six points.

Graves scored 10 points in each half to lead the Lady Vols with 20 points to go with six rebounds. Carter did much of her work from long distance, totaling 16 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range and 4-of-4 work from the free-throw line.

Massengale added 14 points off the bench, going a perfect 10-of-10 from the charity stripe and dishing out a team-best fi ve assists. Cierra Burdick led UT with 10 rebounds.

Trailing 51-25 three minutes out of halftime, Miami went on 18-7 run climb back into the game. Maria Brown sparked the run on a jumper in the paint at 16:14 and Michelle Woods scored Miami’s next nine points.

With 9:35 left in the game and Tennessee’s lead at 58-43, the Lady Vols responded by trading baskets with the Hurricanes over the next minute and a half to keep the lead at 16 points. Then, with 6:28 remaining, UM’s Morgan Stroman hit a jumper on a fast break that opened a 14-4 run that pulled the Hurricanes to within 71-65 with 2:30 left.

UT closed out the game with an 8-2 run thanks to Massengale’s clutch shooting at the line (6-of-6) in the fi nal minute to halt Miami’s comeback attempt.

At the half, Tennessee had a 46-21 advantage with Carter (11 points) and Graves (10 points) leading the way. UT never trailed in the fi rst half, but the Hurricanes stayed within six points for the fi rst 16:40 of the game. Up 23-17 with 6:53 until halftime, the Lady Vols broke loose as a layup by Massengale sparked a 23-4 run to close out the period.

Tennessee’s defense limited the Hurricanes and minimized their outside game. Miami shot just 31.9 percent from the fl oor and a 19.0 percent (4-of-21) from beyond the arc. The Canes also struggled from the free-throw line, hitting just 59.4 percent (19-of-32).

UT shot 42.1 percent from the fl oor and went 6-of-17 from 3-point range. The Lady Vols also shot a crisp 80.6 percent from the stripe (25-of-31).

The Lady Vols return to Thompson-Boling Arena on Nov. 25 to take on Alcorn State at 2 p.m., opening a three-game homestand.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The scoring started with a Meighan Simmons 3-pointer 24 seconds into the action and it never stopped as #20/15 Tennessee cruised to a 90-37 victory on Sunday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Simmons led six Lady Vols in double-fi gures with 12 points.

All 11 Lady Vols scored for the fi rst time all season for Tennessee (4-1). Five players fi nished with 10 points including three freshmen: Bashaara Graves, Jasmine Jones and Nia Moore. Also scoring 10 were Taber Spani and Isabelle Harrison.

The win by 53 points and defense limiting Alcorn to 37 points, equalled last season’s 90-37 win over Old Dominion on Dec. 28, 2011.

Alcorn (0-4) was led by Tierro Frost, who had nine points. The game marked the return of former Lady Vols star Tonya Edwards, who is in her fi fth year as the head coach of the Lady Braves. Edwards was the Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Final Four when the Lady Vols won their fi rst title in 1987.

Tennessee shot 55.7 percent for the game while Alcorn was limited to 22.6 percent from the fl oor. UT forced the Lady Braves into 34 turnovers, which the Lady Vols converted into 37 points.

Three Lady Vols grabbed seven rebounds: Jones, Spani and Harrison.

The Lady Vols opened the second half scoring the fi rst 13 to build a 49-15 advantage.

Tennessee led 36-15 at halftime as Spani led all scorers with 10 points. The Lady Vols limited Alcorn to just 23 percent from the fl oor over the fi rst 20 minutes.

The Lady Vols opened a 16-4 lead with 12 minutes left in the fi rst half as Andraya Carter knocked home a 3-pointer as she fi nished a 9-0 run. UT’s defense kept Alcorn scoreless for a span of more than six minutes.

Another run of 8-0 put Tennessee up 26-9 with 6:35 left in the fi rst half. Al-corn was limited to single-fi gures for the fi rst 16 minutes of the game before Carolinsia Crumbley hit a jumper to make it 26-11.

The Lady Vols continue their three-game homestand on Wednesday night as Middle Tennessee State comes to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m., tipoff . That game can be viewed on UTSports.com and heard on the Lady Vol Network.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Senior Kamiko Williams came up huge on both ends of the court to lead the #16/14 Lady Vols to an 88-81 overtime win over in-state foe Middle Tennessee State for UT’s fi fth win in a row before 10,768 at Thompson-Boling Arena on Wednesday night.

Even through she didn’t post the biggest numbers on the stat sheet, Williams’ clutch shooting and defense spurred the Lady Vols in the second half and overtime. She fi nished with nine points, fi ve rebounds and three assists to go along with numerous intangible plays.

Junior Meighan Simmons topped the scoring charts for Tennessee (5-1), as she netted 19 points. Freshman Bashaara Graves, who has scored in double-fi gures in all six of her college games, had 15 points. She also corralled 12 rebounds for her second double-double in her rookie season.

Sophomore Ariel Massengale, who started for the second time this season, tallied a season-best 15 points. Sophomore Isabelle Harrison scored 10 points and swatted a career-high six blocks.

MTSU (4-2) had four players score in double-fi gures led by Icelyn Elie, who had 21. She was joined by Ebony Rowe (19), Laken Leonard (17) and Shanice Cason (13), to top the Blue Raid-ers.

Tennessee used a 10-0 overtime run keyed by Williams’ all-around play to secure the win.

Sophomore Cierra Burdick put UT ahead for good, 79-77, with a pair of free throws with 2:04 left in OT. Then Williams’ stole the ensuing possession from MTSU and set up Simmons for a layup with 1:52 left to move the lead to 81-77. Williams fi nished the next sequence with a layup to make it 83-77 with 40 seconds left. Then Williams drew a charge seconds later. Harrison’s bank shot was the fi nal dagger fi nishing the run of 10 points in a row.

After being down for the game’s fi rst 35-plus minutes, Tennessee fi nally grabbed a lead for the fi rst time late in the second half. Williams’ steal and bankshot put the Lady Vols ahead at 64-63 -- their fi rst lead of the game with 4:24 left in regulation. Massengale hit a jumper to put UT ahead by three and the Lady Vols never trailed after that.

Tennessee was on the cusp of taking a lead several times, getting to within one possession four times in the second half before fi nally breaking through as Williams used her defense to create off ense and UT’s fi rst advantage.

The Lady Vols pressured MTSU and used a 10-2 run to comeback from a 63-60 defi cit to lead 70-65 on a Simmons jumper.

MTSU cut the margin to two at 70-68 on Leonard’s fi fth 3-pointer of the game with 1:26 left in the second half.

Williams nailed a 3-pointer with 55 seconds left to put the Lady Vols up fi ve at 73-68. But MTSU scored the fi nal fi ve points of regulation to send the game to overtime as Elie canned a 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds left, tying the game at 73.

MTSU scored the game’s opening basket and led for the entire fi rst half, taking a 39-35 lead into the locker room. Cason topped all scorers with 10 points while Simmons led UT’s scoresheet with nine.

MTSU jumped out to an 18-9 lead on the Lady Vols early on after back-to-back 3-pointers by Leonard. The lead increased to double-fi gures on Leonard’s third trey of the half midway through the fi rst stanza, making it 26-16. The Blue Raiders also started strong on the boards, grabbing 17 of the game’s fi rst 24 off the glass.

A drawn charge by Jasmine Jones with six minutes in the fi rst half energized the Lady Vols as they went on a 9-0 run to cut their defi cit to 31-29 on a 3-pointer by Massengale a minute later with 5:01 left in the half.

Tennessee has never lost to MTSU, leading the all-time series, 20-0.
