Noting MTSUTidbits

This is MTSU’s third straight instate opponent. The Blue Raiders took a 74-55 victory over Tennes-

see Tech on Nov. 23 at home. MTSU traveled to ETSU and grabbed a 78-63 win on

Nov. 26 and now wraps up with a visit to UT. Blue Raider head coach Rick Insell coached his

200th career collegiate game on Nov. 23 and picked up win No. 150 in the home opener against South Dakota State on Nov. 17 (a 59-49 victory).

Insell is one of four head coaches in MTSU program history to reach the 150-win plateau and he at-tained the mark faster than any of the others, doing so in just 198 games.

Sophomore Ebony Rowe, a Preseason co-Sun Belt Player of the Year and All-Sun Belt First Team pick, has posted three double-doubles in the fi rst six games this season.

Our Last Meeting with MTSU On Nov. 25, 2009, at Middle Tennessee State, a

new record crowd of 11,802 was on hand for the Thanksgiving eve clash at MTSU’s Murphy Center.

It marked the fi rst time in 30 years, the Tennessee Lady Vols traveled to Murfreesboro to face the Mid-dle Tennessee State Blue Raiders.

Sophomore Glory Johnson led the Lady Vols to a 69-52 victory with a (then) career high of 21 points and 12 rebounds.

It was the Knoxville native’s sixth career double double and her second career 20-plus point per-formance.

Lady Vol rookie Taber Spani converted a layup at the 18:50 mark of the fi rst half and UT would not relinquish the lead the rest of the game.

Tennessee fi nished the fi rst 20 minutes on a 13-4 run and went into the locker room with a 35-24 lead.

MTSU got to within 10 of the Lady Vol lead, 41-31, with 15:50 remaining on a three-pointer but UT re-sponded with a three pointer of its own by Spani.

In addition to Johnson, Angie Bjorklund and soph-omore Shekinna Stricklen each tallied double fi g-ures. Bjorklund tossed in 16 points, while dishing out fi ve assists and grabbing three steals.

Stricklen fi nished with 12 points, four assists and three rebounds.

Helping clean up on the glass was redshirt sopho-more Kelley Cain, who pulled down 11 rebounds.

It was the fi rst ever sellout for a women’s game, drawing a standing room only crowd of 11,802, just fi ve spectators shy of the Murphy Center record of 11,807 for any game there.

The 4-1-1 on MTSU Middle Tennessee will be looking to extend its cur-

rent two-game winning streak when it hits the road for Knoxville, Tenn.

The Blue Raiders own a two-game win streak for the fi rst time this season after they picked up a 78-63 triumph at ETSU Saturday.

Ebony Rowe, posted her third double-double of the season and 19th of her career with 14 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. She also added a career-best six steals.

Junior Kortni Jones poured in a game-best 19 points, including a career-high six 3-pointers, while Icelyn Elie, chipped in 15 points and hauled in nine rebounds to give MT a trio in double-fi gure scoring.

The two teams are playing again for the fi rst time since Nov. 25, 2009, when Tennessee came to Mur-freesboro and garnered its 11th-straight victory in the series.

Leading scorer Kortni Jones and reserve KeKe Stew-art will enjoy a homecoming game in Knoxville...the duo played their high school basketball at nearby Oak Ridge High School.

She Knows the Big Orange--Part II Lady Vol fans are sure to see a familiar face on the

MTSU sidelines. In her second season as an assistant coach is Lady

Vol Alex Fuller (2004-09). Fuller was a 6-3 forward who was a member of the 2007 and 2008 Lady Vol NCAA title teams.

During her UT career, she played in 139 games and averaged 5.5 ppg and 3.8 rpg.

Fuller is no stranger to MTSU head coach Rick Insell either. She played her high school basketball for Insell at Shelbyville Central High School where she earned All-America honors.

Fuller earned All-SEC Academic and Vol Scholar honors during her time on “The Hill.”

Head Coach Pat SummittWe 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 Huskies on January 21st (CBS).

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

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

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

Her foundation, The Pat Summitt Foundation Fund (www.patsummitt.org) was announced at halftime of the Baylor game on Nov. 27 in Knox-ville.

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 fam-ilies and caregivers, and research to treat, prevent,

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 cour-age, 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 profes-sional golf has withstood the test of time.

From the Chalk BoardRight the Ship . The last time the Lady Vols opened the season

2-2 was during the 1990-91 campaign. Tennes-

see went on to a 30-5 overall record and cap-tured 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.

More Baugh...The Warrior Tennessee redshirt senior Vicki Baugh put up

season-high numbers for points and rebounds against Baylor with 17 and 11, respectively.

With the double-digit eff orts, Baugh posted her fourth career double-double and her fi rst double-double since a 12-point, 15-rebound eff ort at Gonzaga (Dec. 30, 2008).

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

Against Baylor, Baugh looked like the eager, scrub-faced rookie from the 2007-08 season before suf-fering two ACL injuries/surgeries.

She logged 32 minutes in the heavyweight con-test.

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

boards in the last two games despite two losses. Tennessee converted 28 second chance points

against Baylor while surrendering only seven. Taking control of the glass will be a priority against

MTSU. Blue Raider Ebony Rowe collects about one-fourth

of all Middle rebounds at 10.3 rpg.

Ball Security or the Lack Thereof Tennessee has been its own worst enemy turning

the ball over in the fi rst four games of the season. 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.

On the season, UT has generated just 15.2 points off of miscues per game while the opposition is banking 18.5 ppg off of Orange mistakes.

UT leads in second chance points per game at 16.5 ppg with the opposition checking in at 11.2 ppg each.

Free Throw Defense was Killin’ Us Against Baylor, UT appeared to be shooting FT’s

better dropping in 73 percent of the opportunities In the previous games, UT has been very inconsis-

tent from the charity stripe in the early going con-necting on 68.2 percent (58-85).

Free throws have felt like turnovers for some of the Lady Vols. Senior Glory Johnson has been sent to the line 25 times and connected on just 13 for a 52.0 accuracy rate.

Where have all the Handles Gone? And now for the no handles or feet-- the Lady Vols

had trouble hanging onto the basketball or not walking with it at Virginia. UT turned the ball over a costly 24 times which resulted in 29 points for the Cavaliers. Eight of the miscues were called as “traveling.”

To date, UT has nine more oops plays than the op-position (70-61).

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.

This season, the Lady Vols hold a +8.3 rebound-ing advantage, 48.0-39.8, in 2011-12.

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. From Feb. 21, 1976 vs. Cumberland (a 90-42 win) until losing on Mar. 10, 1979 vs. Old Dominion (74-72), UT won 37 consecutive games. Tennes-see’s best 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 has not played a home game.

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 has not played on a neutral court.

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

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

Stricklen has started 108 consecutive games and is joined in the elite club by a pair of players on upcoming UT opponent rosters.

DePaul senior forward Keisha Hampton has start-ed 107 consecutive games while Miami’s (Fla.) Shenise Johnson has been in the starting fi ve for 105 consecutive games.

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

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 82.7 ppg on The Summitt while holding the opponents to 69.6 ppg. No wonder the Lady Vols average a nation leading 13,640 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 343-21 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 343-21(.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 (201), 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 494-46 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 1,173 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 1,173-255-2 (.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.

Elite CompanyRookie 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.

Glory -- 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 started out the year with 13 boards against Pepperdine.

Johnson Could be the Fourth UT senior Glory Johnson needs just 98 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.

Lady Vol HonoreesStricklen 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 Notes

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 Today/ESPN poll. Tennessee is now 0-2 when try-ing 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.

Fourth Earliest Opener The game against Pepperdine was the fourth

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.

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.
