TONIGHT’S GAME The #4/4-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols (12-1, 0-0 SEC) will open the Southeastern Conference por-tion of the schedule tonight taking on the South Carolina Gamecocks (7-6, 0-1 SEC) at Thompson-Boling Arena at 7 p.m. In the pre-season polls, Tennessee was picked to fi nish #1 by the coaches and #2 by the media in the SEC while South Carolina was slated to fi nish #6 by the coaches and #10 by the media in league play.

HOW BOUT SHEKINNA STRICKLEN! On Jan. 3, 2010 versus #14/15-Oklahoma, Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen tallied Tennes-see’s second ever triple-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. The only other previous triple-double in history was 25-years ago when senior All-America Shelia Collins recorded 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 steals in an incredible performance at Florida State on Feb. 8, 1985. Stricklen started out slow in the fi rst half and earned a three-minute stint on the bench next to coach Pat Summitt who told her she looked like she was “asleep” to start the game. By halftime, Strick had turned in nine points, seven rebounds and seven assists in 17 minutes. She achieved her triple-double with 8:58 to go in the game grabbing her 10th rebound on the night. WORTH NOTING ABOUT TONIGHT’S GAME • The Tennessee Lady Vols have produced a 25-5 opening day record in SEC play dating back to the 1979-80 season. UT is 13-2 in home SEC openers and 12-3 on the road. Georgia (1984 and 1996) and Auburn (1988 and 1989) each ambushed the Lady Vols in two SEC opening games, while Vanderbilt turned the trick in 1990. The Lady Vols have not dropped an SEC opener since 1996 when Georgia escaped with a 94-93 overtime victory in Knoxville on Dec. 8, 1996. • This marks the second time UT has opened SEC play against South Carolina. The #1-ranked Lady Vols defeated the Gamecocks in the 2006 SEC opener in Columbia, 66-51. • Tennessee has won 36 consecutive games over South Carolina (dating back to Jan. 23, 1980). Ad-ditionally, the Lady Vols have won 18 consecutive home games over the Gamecocks dating back to Jan. 15, 1979 in Stokely Athletics Center when current associate head coach Holly Warlick was UT’s point guard. • Last year, in the 11 loss season, a bright spot was the Lady Vols perfect record in Southeastern Conference games at home, 7-0. UT recorded SEC wins in Thompson-Boling Arena over Kentucky (69-64), South Carolina (68-56), Ole Miss (60-59), Georgia (73-43), Alabama (80-61), Mississippi State (8-68) and #19/21-ranked Vanderbilt (75-66). • Tonight, Tennessee will be playing in its 10th game of more than 10,000 folks in the stands this season. The Lady Vols are averaging 12,885 fans per game for seven home contests with a crowd high of 14,176 for the UCLA game. South Carolina averages 3,224 at home and played in front of a season high 4,290 in the loss to #11/12 LSU at home in their last game. • The Lady Vols are riding a modest nine-game home winning streak into the game with the Game-cocks. The last home loss was on Feb. 16, 2009 to Duke, 62-54. LADY VOLS AT A GLANCE This is the Lady Vols’ 36th season under Head Coach Pat Summitt… She starts a senior-less team for the fi rst time in her tenure... Summitt has compiled a staggering 1,017-194 overall record… Collected her record 1000th coaching win with a 73-43 decision over Georgia on Feb. 5, 2009… She passed Dean Smith (879 wins) for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 victory over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005 …Her 2006-07 and 2007-08 squads were crowned as the NCAA Champions producing the program’s seventh and eighth titles…Last season, UT fi nished with a 22-11 overall record and lost in the First Round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. This season, UT returned 10 letterwinners and welcomed a talented three player rookie class…The 2009-10 season marked the Lady Vol debut for freshmen: #4 Kamiko Williams, a 5-11 guard from Clarks-ville, Tenn., #13 Taber Spani, a 6-1 forward/guard from Lee’s Summit, Mo., and #34 Faith Dupree, a 6-3 forward/center from Knoxville, Tenn. (on Nov. 23 that Dupree would sit-out this season).

THE 4-1-1 ON SOUTH CAROLINA In their last game before facing Tennessee, South Carolina opened SEC play at home on Jan. 3 and fell to #11-ranked LSU, 70-58. LSU (12-1) senior Allison Hightower paced the Lady Tigers with 23 points en route to LSU’s 13th straight win over South Carolina (7-6). The purple and gold jumped out to a 38-15 lead after using a 32-6 run to take control. South Carolina battled back from the end of the fi rst period and into the second half, cutting the defi cit to as little as nine. With 11 min-utes remaining in the game, LSU led just 52-43. But the Gamecocks were unable to chip away any further than that and the Tigers held on for the win. Despite playing most of the game in foul trouble, Valerie Nainima still managed to score 13 points to maintain her streak of scoring in double fi gures. The junior has reached double digits in every game this season. In the post, 6’5” freshman cen-ter Kelsey Bone had nine points and 12 rebounds. The Gamecocks only forced nine turnovers, a season-low and committed 19 miscues.

LAST MEETING WITH USC The No. 13/15-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols returned to the friendly confi nes of Thompson-Bol-ing Arena for the fi rst time in 10 days and claimed a 68-56 win over the South Carolina on Jan. 18, 2009 in front of 16,413 fans. Freshman Shekinna Stricklen posted her second career double-double with 13 points on 6-of-13 shooting and 10 re-bounds, including eight offensive boards. Stricklen converted her only free-throw attempt to improve to a perfect 19-of-19 from the charity stripe in SEC play. Senior Alex Fuller, who decided to wear jer-sey No. 2 for the remainder of the season in honor of teammate Cait McMahan, scored a team high 14 points and grabbed eight boards. Fuller came out fi ring on all cylinders as she scored eight of the Lady Vols’ fi rst nine points and 10 of UT’s fi rst 13. The fi rst half was a back-and-forth contest with seven lead changes before Tennessee grabbed a 33-30 halftime lead, marking the 14th time in 17 games this season that the Lady Vols have enjoyed a lead after the opening 20 minutes. UT stepped up its defense in the second half, holding South Carolina to only 34.5 percent shooting. The Lady Vols’ size and depth proved too much for the

Gamecocks as Tennessee outscored SC 44-28 in the paint, 12-0 on fastbreak points and a 22-15 advantage with bench scoring. While only scoring seven points, sophomore Angie Bjorklund contin-ued to move towards the top of the Lady Vol all-time three-pointers made record. She made one of two attempts against the Gamecocks to give her 92 for her career, ranking 11th all-time. She also grabbed fi ve boards and dished fi ve assists. STALEY WAS MVP -- LADY VOLS WON THE TITLE At the 1991 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans. La., the Tennessee Lady Vols and the Virginia Cav-aliers squared off in the NCAA Championship game on March 31, at the Lakefront Arena. The Virginia point guard at the time was Dawn Staley, currently South Carolina’s head coach, who helped her team stage a furious comeback to tie the game at 60-all in regulation. Staley scored 28 points before fouling out and was named the MVP – except the ballots were counted in the fi nal three minutes during regu-lation. UT guard Dena Head also scored 28 points and led the Lady Vols in the overtime stanza to a 70-67 victory over UVA. It was the fi rst OT champi-onship game ever in NCAA women’s hoops.

FACING FORMER LADY VOLS Tennessee Coach Pat Summitt will be fac-ing two more former players turned coaches this evening on the South Carolina sideline. Lady Vol Olympians Nikki McCray (1991-95) and Carla McGhee (1986-90) are assistant coaches on Game-cock Coach Dawn Staley’s staff. McGhee was a teammate of Tennessee assistant coach Daedra Charles-Furlow on the 1989 Lady Vol NCAA title team. Charles-Furlow and Staley faced each other in the 1991 NCAA title game in New Orleans as both fouled out as the game went into overtime. In her fi -nal collegiate game, Charles tossed in 19 points and grabbed 12 boards while Staley was the MVP with 28 points and 11 rebounds. This season, Summitt has faced a number of former Lady Vol players and staffers in the coaching ranks: Nikki Caldwell and Tasha Butts (UCLA), Tanya Haave and Abby Conk-lin (San Francisco), Angel Elderkin (Virginia), Mickie DeMoss (Texas), and will meet Matthew Mitchell, Kyra Elzy and Shalon Pillow (Kentucky).

SUMMITT VS. STALEY Hall of Famers Pat Summitt and Dawn Staley have met twice before when Staley was head coach at Temple. Her Owls were 0-2 vs. Tennessee. The #1-ranked Lady Vols narrowly won in Knoxville, 52-48, in 2004, and then took a 75-50 win in Philadel-phia in 2005.

USC SERIES Tennessee leads the series with South Caroli-na, 40-2. The UT Media Relations Offi ce recognizes all recorded games played with newspaper accounts and/or box scores. The series with USC indicates two wins and a loss pre-dating the Pat Summitt years yielding a 40-2 record. The Summitt era has only found UT on the losing end to the Gamecocks once -- Jan. 23, 1980 in Columbia, 56-52. It hap-pened when the Carolina Pep Band positioned itself behind the UT bench and played its amplifi ed drums, electric guitars, etc. for all 40 minutes of the game. UT huddles, held practically at the free throw line, did little good. Shortly thereafter, a ban on bands playing during the game and disallowing electronic amplifi cation, was instituted by the AIAW.

HEADING INTO THE GAME… UT and USC meet tonight for the 43rd time in the series. The Lady Vols have recorded 36 consec-utive victories over the Gamecocks dating back to the 1979-80 season when UT associate head coach Holly Warlick was the starting point guard. Warlick was quarterbacking the team the only time UT lost to USC in the Summitt Era. The day after the loss, the Lady Vol players wore their game uniforms in prac-tice -- since (then) Coach Pat Head said her team “had only played for about 20 minutes in them.”

LADY VOLS ON TV A record 27 of 29 Lady Vol regular season games are slated for television this season airing on ESPN2 (5 games), ESPNU (5), FSN/FSS and SportSouth (9), CSS (4), SEC Network (3) and My-NetworkTV (1). Upcoming TV games include: South Carolina (FOX SS), at Mississippi State (SEC Net-work), at Florida (CSS) and Vanderbilt (ESPNU) . The Lady Vols are 10-1 on TV this season. In the 2007-08 season, UT had a school record 36 TV ap-pearances.

TENNESSEE OPENS SEC PLAY Tennessee starts play in the new 16-game SEC league schedule this season. Previously, the SEC schedule had consisted of a 14-game schedule. The Lady Vols were picked to win the SEC by the coach-es while the media had Tennessee fi nishing second behind LSU.

AMAZING AT HOME VS. THE SEC

Since Tennessee began contesting games with SEC opponents, the Lady Vols have produced a 170-12 record in home games. Only six SEC teams have ever managed a victory over the Lady Vols in Knox-ville – Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss. Georgia has won three games on UT’s turf while Auburn, Kentucky, Ole Miss and LSU have reg-istered two wins each and Florida one win. Georgia was the only team to defeat UT at home in the 1990s (1991 & 1996). LSU and Florida are the only SEC teams to defeat UT at home in the 21st century.

AGAINST THE SEC Tennessee owns a 409-65 record all-time re-cord vs. 12 teams from the SEC. UT maintains a win-ning record against every team in the SEC.

SEC LEAGUE PLAY UT owns a league best record of 279-39 (.879) against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season.

15 SEASONS OF AT LEAST 10 SEC WINS Last season, the Lady Vols won only nine SEC games going 7-0 at home and 2-5 on the road. All-time, the Lady Vols have registered double-digit victories in conference play an incredible 15 times. Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play expand-ed, the Lady Vols have won at least 10 games in the following years: 1992-10 wins, 1993-11 wins, 1994-11 wins, 1995-11 wins, 1998-14 wins, 1999-13 wins, 2000-13 wins, 2001-14 wins, 2002- 13 wins, 2003- 14 wins, 2004-14 wins, 2005- 13 wins, 2006-11 wins, 2007- 14 wins and 2008-13 wins.

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

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

LEADING AT THE BREAKThe Lady Vols have led at halftime in 10 of 13

games this season. The Lady Vols trailed 24-26 after the opening 20 minutes against Baylor but prevailed 74-65. Nikki Caldwell’s UCLA Bruins snagged a 27-25 halftime lead but were outscored by the Lady Vols 36-20 in the second stanza. The only game Tennessee has lost while trailing at the half was to Stanford. The Cardinal grabbed a 30-18 halftime lead and took a 67-52 win over the Lady Vols. On average, UT holds a 37.7 to 26.6 halftime lead. The Lady Vols have outscored the opposition 42.0 to 29.9 in the second stanza.

TAKE PRIDE IN BOARD PLAY Through 13 games, Tennessee has been out-rebounded only once -- by Stanford, 44-34. Overall, the Lady Vols are doing a better job on the boards this season holding an +9.4 rebound advantage, 44.6 to 35.2.

POSTING POINTS IN THE PAINTTennessee has staked a claim in the paint this

season behind 6’6” redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain. The Lady Vols failed to dominate the paint in one game, Stanford. In that contest, the Cardinal scored 26 paint points to the Lady Vols’ 20. UT scored a sea-son high 54 points in the paint versus George Wash-ington and held San Francisco to just two points in the paint.

JOIN IN THE FUN Coach Pat Summitt has challenged her bench over the last fi ve games (Louisville, Stanford, San Francisco, Old Dominion, Oklahoma) to contribute more. Sophomore post Alyssia Brewer and rookie guard Kamiko Williams have heeded the call. Brewer has been averaging almost 20 minutes per game and is tossing in 10.6 ppg and grabbing 6.0 rpg during this stretch. Williams has pushed her PT to 17.8 mpg and is contributing 7.2 ppg and 4.0 rpg.

BOMBS AWAY FROM ANGIE B In the last fi ve games, junior Angie Bjorklund has been on fi re from three-point land. She has tossed in 55.6% (20-36) of her tries and has led the team in scoring with 19.4 ppg.

HALFTIME CORRECTIONS A couple of Lady Vol players have really benefi ted from a halftime chat from Coach Pat Summitt this sea-son. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer has been the Lady Vols most deadly shooter after the fi rst 20 minutes. Brewer is canning 70.5 percent of her shots in the second half (31-44). Sophomore Shekinna Stricklen has been more aggressive attacking the basket and leads the team with trips to the line in the fi nal stanza (29-32) for a sizzling 90.6 percent. Opponents proba-bly wish halftime was cancelled with the coaching-up junior Angie Bjorklund has been getting at the break. In the second half, Bjorklund has been nailing three-pointers at a ridiculous pace of 69.2 percent (27-39) and has been deadly overall canning 60.3 percent of all second half fi eld goals (41-68).

SHE LOVES CAMP SUMMITT UT coach Pat Summitt loves the court time she has with her team over the holiday break. Time for re-emphasizing fundamentals and fi ne-tuning before conference play starts the fi rst week of January. In the fi rst 13 games, Summitt has seen a number of positives from her seniorless team: only one op-

ponent has shot 40% or better against the 2009-10 Lady Vols -- Oklahoma at .446 in a 21 point loss... the Lady Vols bounced back from the tough loss at Stanford and its worst shooting night (.328) to record its fourth 50% plus shooting night on the year toss-ing in .531 versus San Francisco... That performance was followed by the seventh best shooting night in Lady Vol history as UT canned 67.2 percent from the fi eld against Old Dominion... and followed that up with a 51.3% effort against Oklahoma for the sixth game of 50% or better shooting on the season... Last year, the 2008-09 Lady Vols turned in the worst fi eld goal percentage in Tennessee history at 41.3%

ON BREAK The University of Tennessee was offi cially on holiday break following the conclusion of fi nal exams on Dec. 10. Spring semester classes resume on January 13, 2010. During the break, the Lady Vols will have eight games -- practically one-fourth of its schedule of 29 games: vs. Rutgers (W, 68-54), Lou-isville (W,86-56), at #2-ranked Stanford (L, 52-67), at San Francisco (W, 89-34), Old Dominion (W, 102-62), #14/15-ranked Oklahoma (W, 96-75)), South Carolina (Jan. 7) and at Mississippi State (Jan. 10).

RANKED TIDBITS Tennessee is 4-1 against ranked opponents this season in 13 total games played. The Lady Vols opened the season with a 74-65 win over #7/4-ranked Baylor... took a 77-63 win on the road at #12/17-ranked Virginia, knocked off #17-ranked Texas, 78-58 and lost to #2-ranked Stanford, 67-52 and defeated #14/15-ranked Oklahoma, 96-75, on Jan. 3 in Knoxville.

BJORKLUND MOVING THE CHAINS Tennessee junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund has climbed into sole possession of third place on the Tennessee three-point career charts. She has 173 made treys for her career moving her ahead of Brit-tany Jackson in fourth with 161...Kara Lawson in sec-ond with 256 and Shanna Zolman leading the pack with 266.

ANGIE B LOOKING TOWARD 1,000 POINTS Lady Vol junior Angie Bjorklund is now just 130 points away from 1,000 career points. She scored 318 as a rookie and 344 as a sophomore. This sea-son, she has 108 to date for a career total of 870. She will become the 34th all-time player to reach the 1,000 point club.

HEY! WE LOVE A HAPPY MEAL The Tennessee Lady Vols lead the nation with the number of McDonald’s High School All-Americans on their roster in 2009-10 with nine players.

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA • WELCOME TO “THE SUMMITT”

The playing court in the Thompson-Boling Are-na on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season. After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, “The Summitt.” The fl oor had a complete overhaul with permanent logos of both the Lady Vols and Vols painted directly in front of the scorer’s table; the free throw lanes were painted orange with “SEC” reversed out; the giant jump circle/mid-court TEN-NESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and “The Summitt,” Coach Summitt’s actual signature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches.

300 WINS IN TBA Tennessee recorded its 300th win in Thomp-son-Boling Arena when the Lady Vols defeated the Stanford Cardinal, 79-69 OT on Dec. 21, 2008. Seven years earlier, UT grabbed its 200th TBA win over the University of Southern California on Nov. 18, 2001, 106-66. UT has now amassed a 314-20 (.942) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 22-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced nine fl awless home records in 1988-89 (15-0), 1991-92 (14-0), 1992-93 (13-0), 1993-94 (15-0), 1994-95 (15-0), 1997-98 (16-0), 1998-99 (14-0), 2000-01 (15-0) and 2002-03 (16-0). UT also regis-tered an NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996.

JUST 20 LOSSES The Tennessee Lady Vols rarely lose at home. In fact, since moving to the Thompson-Boling Arena for the 1987-88 campaign, UT has lost two games in one season just seven times. UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04, 2005-06 and 2008-09 seasons. The 20 all-time losses at TBA have come at the hands of just 10 teams: Virginia (2008), Florida (2006), LSU (2008, 2006), Duke (2009, 2007, 2004), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisi-ana Tech (1999, 1989), Georgia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stanford (1996) and Auburn (1988).

HOME SWEET HOME -- OVER 400 HOME WINS The victory over Georgia on Jan. 31, 2005, was the Lady Vols 400th home win since Pat Summitt took over as head coach in 1974. Summitt has won 91.4 percent of all home games in 36 years producing a 464-45 overall record. Home losses (in the Sum-mitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 19 in Stokely Athletics Center from 1976-87; and 20 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

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

IN OVERTIME Tennessee is 27-17 all-time in overtime games. The most OT games in a year was tied in 2003-04 with four as the Lady Vols went 3-1 in overtime los-ing 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 over-time contests losing to Georgia, 94-93, and defeating Texas, 68-65, Vanderbilt, 92-79 and LSU, 100-99. UT’s 22 points in the OT against Florida (2-3-05), was the most ever scored by the Lady Vols in a single overtime. UT’s most recent OT affair was a 79-69 win

over Stanford on Dec. 21, 2008, at home.

A LOOK AT ATTENDANCE The Tennessee Lady Vols staying power with the home fans is evidenced by the huge numbers who have turned out for games in Knoxville since 1990. Tennessee has won the attendance challenge 14 out of the last 20 years.

LADY VOL STREAKS The Lady Vols last loss at home was against Duke, 62-54, on Feb. 16, 2009, since then UT has won nine home games. The last time UT lost on the road was on Dec. 19, 2009 at Stanford, since then, UT has won one road game. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against Ball State, 71-55, in the 2009 NCAA First Round game on Mar. 22, 2009. Since that time, UT is 2-0 on a neutral court.

OVER 500 GAMES VS. RANKED Tennessee’s game versus #12 Georgia on Feb. 16, 2006 was the Lady Vols’ 500th all-time versus a ranked team since the inception of the polls in 1976. UT is an amazing 417-156 (.725) versus ranked teams. The 2008-09 Lady Vols were a dismal 4-8 ver-sus ranked teams.

NINTH BEST START TO OPEN THE SEASON Before being snapped by Stanford, the 9-0 start to begin the 2009-10 campaign was tied for the ninth best start in Lady Vol program history. All-time, there have been 15 perfect starts to a season (of at least 7 wins).START SEASON FIRST LOSS FINAL RECORD39-0 1997-98 None 39-0 (NCAA Ch)18-0 2005-06 at Duke 31-516-0 1994-95 at UConn 34-314-0 1993-94 at Rutgers 31-211-0 2001-02 UConn 29-511-0 2000-01 at UConn 31-311-0 1988-89 at Auburn 35-2 (NCAA Ch)10-0 2007-08 at Stanford 36-2 (NCAA Ch)9-0 2009-10 at Stanford8-0 1995-96 at Stanford 32-4 (NCAA Ch)8-0 1986-87 vs. Texas 28-6 (NCAA Ch)7-0 2003-04 Texas 31-47-0 1988-89 at Auburn 35-2 (NCAA Ch)7-0 1979-80 vs. S.F.

Game Notes • Tennessee vs. South Carolina • Jan. 7, 2010volnetwork.tv. “The Pat Summitt Story” is the most compre-hensive video documentary ever produced on a UT sports fi gure. Over three years in the making, “The Pat Summitt Story” is a compelling motion picture quality fi lm which chronicles the life and times of NCAA basketball’s all-time winningest coach. This powerful three-disk set offers over six hours of exclusive content. Disc One is the never-before-released Pat Summitt Story which traces her be-ginnings from tiny Henrietta, Tenn., growing up on the family farm to the steps of the Hall-of-Fame. Discs Two and Three provide an abundance of bo-nus and feature material including the memorable “Day of 1000 Stories” gala captured in its entirety along with Coach Summitt’s 1000th career victory wired for sound.

NAMES ARE BACK In response to an inordinate amount of phone calls, mail and texts from Tennessee fans, the Lady Vols names are back on their jerseys. Coach Pat Summitt dropped the names from the back of the jer-seys prior to the start of the 2004-05 season. Before the Lady Vols played Louisville on Dec. 16, Summitt announced to the crowd that she had an early Christ-mas present for them -- names on jerseys -- the crowd erupted into cheers when the team came out to show their new duds.

GOT THE PATCH Following the reporting of grades for the Fall semester two more Lady Vols added the Vol Scholar patch to their uniform. Rookies Taber Spani recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA and Faith Dupree pulled all As and a B to earn a patch. With their addition, eight Lady Vols are proudly displaying VOLScholar patches on their jerseys this semester -- Briana Bass, Angie Bjorklund, Kelley Cain, Glory Johnson, Alicia Man-ning and Sydney Smallbone. The VOLScholar pro-gram is an initiative of UT’s Thornton Athletics Stu-dent Life Center which is a comprehensive academic and citizenship-building program that has gained en-thusiastic support from UT’s men’s and women’s ath-letic teams. Student-athletes earn the right to wear the VOLScholar patch on their uniform by achieving a 3.0 grade-point average during the previous fall and/or spring semester.

COACH D Lady Vol assistant basketball coach Daedra Charles-Furlow, affectionately known as “Coach D,” did not make the trip to the west coast for games against Stanford and San Francisco. In her absence, Stephanie Glance was activated to both coach and recruit. Charles-Furlow announced on Dec. 1 that she is dealing with medical issues. “I am dealing with some personal medical issues at this time,” said Charles-Furlow. “It is possible that there may be times when I am unable to travel. For that reason, I decided to

make this announcement since it will affect my duties as recruiting coordinator.” A former Lady Vol Olym-pian and All-American, Charles-Furlow joined the Lady Vol staff in May 2008 replacing Nikki Caldwell who accepted the head coaching position at UCLA. “Daedra’s health and well-being is our fi rst concern,” said head coach Pat Summitt. “While she will contin-ue with her assistant coaching duties on the bench, there may be times when, as the basketball recruit-ing coordinator, she is unable to travel. Daedra is so passionate about recruiting our student-athletes,” said Summitt. “During the next several months she needs to be focusing on her health. For that reason, I will be designating my special assistant, Stephanie Glance, to fi ll this temporary role.”

STRICK HONORED Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Lady Vol Athlete of the Week for the second time this season (Nov. 30-Dec. 6).In the UT’s fi rst game of the week against George Washington, Stricklen notched her fourth career double double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. She was 8-of-13 from the fi eld to help Tennessee to a 93-53 win over the Co-lonials. Against #17/17 Texas on Dec. 6, Stricklen tallied her 27th career double fi gure scoring game with 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. The Morrilton, Ark., native also added six rebounds and fi ve assists against the Longhorns. For the week, Stricklen aver-aged 15.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 3.0 apg, and shot 60.9 percent from the fi eld in leading UT to average wins of 30.0 points.

JOINING THE LADY VOL FOLD University of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball head coach Pat Summitt announced the early signing of two student-athletes to National Letters of Intent for the 2010-11 academic school year. Joining the eight-time NCAA Champions are signees Lauren Avant, a 5’9”, guard from Memphis, Tenn., (The Lausanne Collegiate School) and Meighan Simmons, a 5’9” guard from Byron P. Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas.

UNBROKEN CIRCLE The 2009-10 Lady Vols are taking their “Circle of Infl uence” media guide them into a postgame cen-ter court jump circle huddle with their opponents. Be-fore the game with Baylor, UT junior Angie Bjorklund invited the Lady Bears to join them for a postgame prayer. Each opponent has followed suit meeting at center court after the game for the moment of thanks.

BJORKLUND IS A WOODEN NOMINEE Lady Vol junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund is a preseason candidate for the John R. Wooden Award. She joins the initial list of student athletes who, based on last year’s individual performance and team records, are the frontrunners for college basketball’s most prestigious honor. This season,

the Lady Vols will face a number of Wooden nominees including: Jayne Appel and Jea-nette Pohlen (Stanford), Alysha Clark (Mid-dle Tennessee), Allison Hightower (LSU), Ashley Houts (Georgia), Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma) and Monica Wright (Virginia). In late December, the Wooden Award Com-mittee will release the Midseason Top 20 list, followed in March by the National Ballot, consisting of approximately 15 top players who have proven to their universities that they are also making progress toward gradu-ation and maintaining a cumulative 2.0 GPA. The Women’s Wooden Award All-American Team will be announced the week of the “Elite Eight” round during the NCAA Tourna-

Game Notes • Tennessee vs. South Carolina • Jan. 7, 2010ment. The 34th annual Wooden Award ceremony, which will include the announcement of the Men’s and Women’s Wooden Award, and the presenta-tion of the Wooden Award All-American Teams and the Legends of Coaching Award, will take place the weekend of April 9-11, 2010.

STRICKLEN IS ON THE NAISMITH LIST Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen has been named to the Naismith Player of the Year “watch list.” The watch list was compiled by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances from the previous year and expectations for the 2009-10 college basketball sea-son. The Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T will be awarded at the 2010 NCAA Women’s Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.

STRICKLEN DOUBLES UP ACCOLADES Lady Vol sophomore Shekinna Stricklen was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week and Lady Vol Athlete of the Week (Nov. 9-15)after leading the No. 8/9-ranked Lady Vols to a 74-65 win over the No. 7/4-ranked Baylor Lady Bears on Nov. 15 at Thompson-Boling Arena to open the 2009-10 season. The Morrilton, Ark., native scored 25 points, grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds, dished out fi ve assists and tallied three steals. The game against the Lady Bears marked Stricklen’s third career double-double. Her 25 points were one off of her career-high 26 points, which were scored at No. 6/5-ranked Au-burn last season.

HOME COURT STREAKS BROKEN BY UTThroughout the years, UT has been respon-

sible for breaking a number of lengthy home court winning streaks, 20 to be exact. Last season, UT snapped GWU’s 17-game streak at the Smith Center on Dec. 2 and ODU’s nation-leading 29 game winning streak at the Ted Constant Cen-ter on Dec. 18. The Lady Vols know something about home court winning streaks – Tennessee shares the NCAA record at 69 consecutive wins at home.Wins Team Broken by UT64 Old Dominion …on 2-16-81, 76-7061 Virginia …on 3-25-96, 52-4654 Connecticut …on 1-10-99, 92-8153 Rutgers …on 12-30-88, 93-5352 Louisiana Tech …on 11-30-98, 92-7344 Texas …on 12-14-86, 85-7833 Old Dominion …on 1-19-99, 77-6133 Texas Tech …on 12-18-96, 79-7131 South Carolina …on 3-7-80, 67-5430 Colorado …on 12-17-94, 78-7229 Old Dominion ...on 12-18-08, 81-7626 Arizona State …on 11-19-06, 83-7425 Portland …on 11-30-97, 74-5124 Duke ...on 1-28-08, 67-6423 Stanford …on 12-4-05, 74-6720 Florida …on 2-1-95, 76-6919 Louisiana Tech …on 1-9-95, 62-5618 Alabama …on 2-9-95, 95-4417 George Washington ...on 12-2-08, 71-5917 Old Dominion …on 1-24-95, 77-54

GET THIS... 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-American Pa-tricia 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 2006-07, Candace Parker came the closest to a

double-fi gure rebounding average but had to settle for 9.8 rpg.

POLLSTERS The Tennessee Lady Vols started the season in somewhat unfamiliar territory in the Top 25 Pre-season polls. The Associated Press placed UT in the eighth position to start the season, while the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll had UT in ninth spot. Last season, UT started in seventh in the AP and sixth in the coaches’ poll. Tennessee’s start in the AP poll is the lowest since the 1985-86 season when UT started in the number nine spot.

HIGH SCHOOL TO LADY VOL TEAMMATES This season marks the fourth time in Lady Vol Basketball history (under Summitt) that high school teammates are taking to the fl oor in a Tennessee uni-form. Freshman post Faith Dupree joins fellow Webb School teammate and UT sophomore Glory Johnson in the line-up this season. Previously, Cherokee H.S. (Canton, Ga.) teammates Debbie Groover and Cindy Ely roamed the paint from 1977-81; Baldwin Co. H.S. (Milledgeville, Ga.) teammates Val Freeman and Lisa Webb played from 1983-88 -- both even tore ACLs one week apart as sophomores, and Shelbyville Cen-tral H.S. (Tenn.) teammates Michelle Johnson and Tiffany Woosley played during the 1991-95 seasons.

SEC COACHES TAB LADY VOLS The Southeastern Conference unveiled its sixth annual women’s basketball preseason All-SEC fi rst and second teams, Thurs., Oct. 30.In the closet vote yet, Tennessee was predicted to win the Southeast-ern Conference regular season championship over LSU by one vote. The Lady Vols were 22-11, 9-5 in the SEC last season, while LSU fi nished 19-11, 10-4 in conference play. Mississippi State, Georgia, Vanderbilt and South Carolina round out the top half of the league with Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Alabama rounding out the lower half. LSU senior guard Allison Hightower was named SEC Women’s Basketball Preseason Player of the Year. Joining Hightower on the All-SEC First Team were Arkansas’ C’eira Ricketts, Georgia’s Ashley Houts and Angel Robinson, LSU’s LaSondra Barrett, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Tennessee’s Angie Bjorklund and Shekinna Stricklen. Second team consists of Auburn’s Alli Smalley, Georgia’s Porsha Phillips, Kentucky’s Vic-toria Dunlap, Ole Miss’ Bianca Thomas, Mississippi State’s Armelie Lumanu and Chanel Mokango, Ten-nessee’s Glory Johnson and Vanderbilt’s Merideth Marsh and Hannah Tuomi.

LADY VOLS PICKED NUMBER TWO BY MEDIA The Tennessee Lady Vols were predicted to fi nish second in the Southeastern Conference this season following a vote by a select panel of both SEC and national media members. LSU was picked to win the 2010 SEC women’s basketball championship. Two Lady Vol players were recog-nized on the preseason All-SEC Team as the media picked sophomore Shekinna Stricklen for the First Team and junior sharpshooter Angie Bjorklund for the Second Team. LSU’s Allison Hightower was the overwhelming choice of the media for SEC Wom-en’s Basketball Player of the Year with 18 votes, the remaining votes were for LSU’s Lasondra Barrett and Tennessee’s Angie Bjorklund. Joining Hightow-er on the All-SEC First Team were Georgia’s Ash-ley Houts and Angel Robinson, Mississippi State’s Alexis Rack and Tennessee’s Shekinna Stricklen. Second team consists of Arkansas’ C’eira Ricketts, LSU’s LaSondra Barrett, Ole Miss’ Bianca Thom-as, Tennessee’s Angie Bjorklund and Vanderbilt’s Merideth Marsh.

2009-10 LADY VOL GAME NOTES ALMANACVERSUS 2009 FINAL FOUR TEAMS Oklahoma was the third of the four 2009 NCAA Final Four teams that the Lady Vols faced this season -- UT defeated Louisville, 88-56 on Dec. 16, lost at #2-ranked Stanford, 67-52, on Dec. 19 and defeated #14/15 Oklahoma, 96-75 on Jan. 3. IS THERE A BIG 12 DIVISION FOR US? This season, Tennessee might qualify for divi-sional play in the Big 12. The Lady Vols defeated four opponents from that conference: #7/4 Baylor in Knox-ville (74-65), knocked off Texas Tech, 91-53, in San Antonio and defeated #17 Texas, 78-58, and #14/15 Oklahoma, 96-75 in Knoxville. The Lady Vols fi nished 4-0 in the Big 12 Conference play this season.TENNESSEE’S FIRST OKIE When 6-3 sophomore forward Alyssia Brewer (Sapulpa, OK/Sapulpa H.S.) signed with the Lady Vols, it marked Tennessee’s fi rst player from the state of Oklahoma. This season, the rangy lefty is averaging 7.9 ppg and 4.6 rpg while shooting a blistering 60.9% from the fi eld (39-64).STATISTICALLY VS. THE BIG 12 IN 2009-10 In three wins over Big 12 teams this season (Baylor, 74-65 win; Texas Tech, 91-53 win and Texas, a 78-58 win), the Lady Vols have averaged a +22.3 margin of victory (81.0-58.7 ppg) over these schools. Additionally, UT has cashed in on 46.7% of its fi eld goals while holding Big 12 opponents to just 32.4%. Fouls have been nearly even, 57 for Tennessee and 58 for Big 12 opponents but the dozen school confer-ence has cashed in at the charity stripe canning 53-73 (.726) free throws while the Lady Vols have managed just 41-59 (.695). STAFFERS HAVE -- NEVER A FORMER PLAYER ...have dropped an “L” on Coach Pat Summitt and the Lady Vols. Former Tennessee player and assistant coach Nikki Caldwell looked like her UCLA Bruins might be the fi rst to pull the upset on Nov. 28 in Knox-ville. The Bruins grabbed a 10-point fi rst half lead and looked very confi dent heading into the locker room leading 27-25 at the break. In the Tennessee locker room, Summitt was imploring her team for no more “negative history.” Referring back to last season when her young Lady Vols were responsible for a number of “negative history fi rsts.” Former Lady Vol Tanya Haave got the next crack at beating the old ball coach but her San Francisco Dons were defeated by UT, 89-34. The roll call goes like this: Sylvia Hatchell, Sharon Fanning, Jane Albright, Lea Henry, Nancy Darsch, Trish Roberts, Mickie DeMoss, Matthew Mitchell, Kellie Jolly Harper and Tanya Haave. UT coach Pat Summitt has faced many former players and assistant coaches in a variety of games thru the years but no former Lady Vol player has ever knocked off her mentor. Former assistant Carolyn Peck was the fi rst to record a victory over her former boss. While at Purdue, Peck handed Summitt a 78-68 loss on Nov.15, 1998 in the State Farm Tip-Off Classic in West Lafayette, Ind. The defeat snapped UT’s 46-game consecutive winning streak (that was second only to Louisiana Tech’s NCAA all-time 54-game winning streak). Former assistants Mick-ie DeMoss and last year Matthew Mitchell turned the trick as a head coaches at Kentucky, (DeMoss 66-63, on Jan. 26, 2006 and Mitchell 66-56 on Feb. 19, 2009), and Sylvia Hatchell managed to pull off the feat twice at North Carolina (75-63 on Mar. 28, 2006 and 70-57, Dec. 3, 2006). Former Lady Vol players turned head coaches have been less successful. Former Lady Vol All-America Patricia Roberts tried while head coach at Maine (0-2, lost 77-64 on Dec. 13, 1990 and 86-71 on Nov. 24, 1991). Former Lady Vol Olympian and point guard Lea Henry faced Summitt in the NCAA Tourna-ment with her Georgia State team and lost 98-68 on Mar. 15, 2002. Next to try to knock off Summitt was Kellie Jolly Harper with her Western Carolina team on Mar. 20, 2005. The Lady Catamounts lost 94-43. The most recent former Lady Vol hoopsters to take on their former coach: UT All-American and San Francisco head coach Tanya Haave. “LaMachine’s” Dons fell to UT on Nov. 15, 2008, 68-39. A little over a week later, Harper’s WCU team fell to Summitt’s Lady Vols, 83-56, on Nov. 25, 2008. The next player to try the knock-off - -San Francisco’s Tanya Haave.RAISING CAIN UT redshirt sophomore center Kelley Cain returned

to the starting line-up against Rutgers. Cain suffered a concussion against UCLA on Nov. 28 and was held out of the George Washington game on Dec. 1. Cain was cleared to play against #17-ranked Texas on Dec. 6 and came off the bench to score 12 points (6-6 FG), grab six boards and swat away four shots. She fol-lowed that up with a nine point, nine rebound and six blocked shot performance against Rutgers. SOLID SHOWING AGAINST THE HORNS Against #17-ranked Texas, Tennessee used an 8-0 run to build an 11-5 lead (at 14:55) and then put togeth-er a 12-0 run over 4:55 to take a 31-18 lead with 5:29 to play in the fi rst half. UT’s largest defi cit of the fi rst half was two at 18:23; it’s largest lead was 17 at 0:27. Tennessee led at the half for the fi fth time this season. In those games, UT is 5-0. Texas went without a point from the 3:12 mark of the fi rst half to the 16:29 point of the second, allowing Tennessee a 14-0 run to build a 48-24 lead. Tennessee outrebounded Texas 42-41; UT has led on the boards in all seven gamesNOGGIN KNOCKERS The Lady Vols only had nine players available to play against George Washington on Dec. 1. Ten-nessee starting sophomore pivot Kelley Cain missed the game with George Washington due to a concus-sion suffered in the UCLA game after dropping in eight points and grabbing 11 rebounds against the Bruins. Cain also missed some time last season after suffering a concussion in practice. She has started fi ve games this season and averages 8.4 ppg and 8.6 rpg.CALLING ALL POSTS The Lady Vols went into the game with George Washington on Dec. 1 pretty thin in the post. Side-lined were four post players -- 6’1” Amber Gray and 6’3” Faith Dupree for the season; 6’4” Vicki Baugh who is coming back from a torn ACL and 6’6” Kelley Cain who will miss due to a concussion. That left 6’1” rookie Taber Spani and a pair of 6’3” sophomores in Glory Johnson and Alyssia Brewer to shore up the middle for the Lady Vols. SAPULPA WAS IN THE HOUSE Sophomore post Alyssia Brewer of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, showed up in a big way against George Washington on Dec. 1. UT was without starting center Kelley Cain who was being held out due to a concus-sion suffered in the UCLA game. The 6’3” Brewer came in the fi rst half at the 14:49 mark and scored four quick layups and a free throw in eight minutes to record nine points in the opening stanza. In the second half, she was inserted at the 14:13 mark and played the rest of the game totaling 14 second stanza points for a ca-reer high 23 points (11-15 FG) to go along with seven rebounds.DUPREE DEALS WITH BACK PROBLEMS University of Tennessee Lady Vol Head Basket-ball Coach Pat Summitt announced on Nov. 23, 2009, that freshman center Faith Dupree will be sidelined this season. “Faith has been experiencing recurrent lower back pain,” explained Summitt. “Our medical staff (Director of Sports Medicine Jenny Moshak, team orthopaedist Dr. Greg Mathien and team physician Dr. Becky Morgan) felt that the best course of ac-tion was to spend this season treating her. “We are disappointed for Faith and what she means to our team,” said Summitt. “She worked really hard in the preseason drills and conditioning but now she needs time to focus on getting her back healthy.” Moshak, University of Tennessee Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, has been treating Dupree for back pain for several weeks. “We are going to use this year to explore treatment options and provide aggressive rehabilitation,” said Moshak. Dupree, a 6-3 freshman from Knoxville, Tenn., appeared in the fi rst two games of the season. Against #7/4-ranked Baylor she logged four minutes and grabbed a rebound. In San Antonio at the ESPNU Road to the Championship, she played 18 minutes and tossed in fi ve points, grabbed six re-bounds and had three assists in 18 minutes against Texas Tech. Tennessee’s roster now drops to 11 ac-tive players for the 2009-10 season. Also sitting out this year, following both shoulder and brain surgery, is 6-1 sophomore forward Amber Gray of West Chester, Ohio.HOME SWEET HOME Much is made of the Lady Vols palatial locker

room in Thompson-Boling Arena. The team lost the right to use the locker room following back-to-back losses last season to #7/10-ranked Duke (Feb. 16, 62-54) and Kentucky (Feb. 19, 66-56). Following the Lady Vols win over at #12/17-ranked Virginia on Nov. 22, 2009, Coach Pat Summitt announced in the post game talk to the team that they had earned their locker room back to thunderous cheers from the team.CROWDS A PLENTY Playing in front of huge crowds is nothing new to Tennessee Lady Vol basketball but the week of Nov. 22-28 was one to note. In three games (two on the road), the Lady Vols played in front of a total of 37,873 fans (an average of 12,624 per game) – including two record-breaking crowds on the road. On Nov. 25 at Middle Tennessee State, a new record crowd of 11,802 was on hand for the Thanksgiving eve clash. MTSU’s Murphy Center’s capacity is listed at 11,520. On Nov. 22 at Virginia, a new record crowd of 11,895 crammed the stands on “Hotdog Night” at the John Paul Jones Arena. Tennessee had one game at home during that span against UCLA on Nov. 28 where 14,176 turned out for a matinee contest. Last season, Tennessee played in front of 17 crowds of 10,000-plus.1200 GAMES Coach Pat Summitt coached in her 1,200th col-lege game when she faced Texas Tech on Nov. 17.WE HIT 1,100 The Tennessee Lady Vols have a proud and rich history of women’s basketball on “The Hill.” With the victory over Texas Tech on Nov. 17, the Lady Vols re-corded the 1100th win in program history.600TH WIN Tennessee’s win over Baylor to open the 2009-10 season was Lady Vol Coach Pat Summitt’s 600th victory over a non-conference team. She is now 604-129 versus non-conference opposition over 36 sea-sons. ESPNU ROAD TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP The Lady Vols took the ESPNU Road to the Championship (formerly the ESPNU Women’s Basket-ball Invitational) when it defeated Texas Tech in Nov. 17. The preseason women’s basketball doubleheader, UConn defeated Texas in the night cap, is played in the same city as the women’s NCAA championship. The ESPNU Road to the Championship is an ESPN Regional TV (ERT) owned and operated event. San Antonio is the host city for the 2010 NCAA women’s basketball championship.UT’S SEASON-OPENERS UNDER SUMMITT Over the last 36 years on opening day, the Lady Vols have won 33 times and lost just three contests. Coach Pat Summitt lost her very fi rst game as a col-lege head coach -- a heartbreaking one-point decision at home in Alumni Gym to Mercer, 84-83, on Dec. 7, 1974. The next time UT lost an opening game was in Knoxville on Nov. 21, 1981, to Stephen F. Austin, 80-74, in Stokely Athletics Center. Most recently, UT fell in their fi rst contest of the 1999-2000 campaign dropping a 69-64 decision to Louisiana Tech on Nov. 14, 1999 in Thompson-Boling Arena. Until the loss to the Lady Techsters in 1999, the Lady Vols had won 18 consecu-tive season openers. ALWAYS A HOT TICKET Joe Arnone, UT Associate AD for Ticket Opera-tions, says Lady Vol season ticket sales have been steady despite the disappointment of the 2008-09 sea-son. As of Nov. 11th, 10,011 season tickets had been sold. Last season, over 10,400 season tickets were sold.2009-10 LADY VOL SCHEDULE NOTES Coach Pat Summitt has once again put together a demanding schedule for her squad. In 2009-10, the Lady Vols will face 14 NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago and four teams that played in the WNIT. The slate includes three of the four squads who played in the 2009 Final Four, a home match with SEC Cham-pion Auburn and a double-date with SEC Tournament champion Vanderbilt. With the expanded SEC line-up, the Lady Vols will face four squads twice, in addition to traditional-rival Vanderbilt. Tennessee will go home-and-home with Florida, LSU, Ole Miss and South Carolina.

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

THE NOD Last season, a record number of players – FIVE – were called on to start for the Lady Vols as rookies… Shekinna Stricklen (starter number 53), Glory Johnson (number 54), Briana Bass (55), Alicia Manning (56) and Kelley Cain (57) all earned starting assignments becoming the 53rd-57th freshmen to earn the honor. Angie Bjorklund became the 52nd all-time Lady Vol to start dur-ing her freshman season –she started in 30 of 38 games. Previously, Cait McMahan earned a start at point guard versus Louisiana Tech during her freshman season. Prior to Cait’s starting nod, then-redshirt freshman Candace Parker played and started in all 36 games her rookie season in 2005-06. A season earlier, Tennessee coach Pat Summitt liked what she saw out of the 2004-05 rookie class as two players earned starting nods during the season. Nicky Anosike played in all 35 games with 25 starting assignments and Alexis Hornbuckle played in all 35 games with 21 starts. This duo became the 48th and 49th rookies all-time to earn starting assignments at UT as rook-ies. The 2001-02 rookie class found three play-ers earn a starting nod as Loree Moore, Shyra Ely and Brittany Jackson all started at some point in their rookie careers.

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

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


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

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


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

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

AT&T Center (4,586)

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

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

GAME 3: #12/17 VIRGINIA Junior Angie Bjorklund was feeling it on Sunday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena against #12/17 Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. Monica Wright, the Cavaliers preseason All-American, said so. “She tore it up tonight. She was just so hot,” said Wright. Bjorklund fi nished with a game high 24 points, including fi ve three pointers in leading the #6/5 Lady Vols to a 77-63 win in a hostile JPJ Arena on Nov. 22. It was the Spokane Valley, Wash., native’s 34th career double digit scoring game and the seventh outing in her time at Rocky Top that she has scored at least 20 in a game. Bjorklund’s shooting from beyond the arc was instrumental for the Lady Vols. Midway through the fi rst half, she scored six points in 21 seconds to give UT a 32-19 lead. Not even two minutes into the second half, the Cavaliers had cut the Tennessee lead to 42-39, when Bjorklund converted a four-point play which silenced the record-crowd of 11,895. On the next play at the defensive end, she grabbed the rebound, came down the fl oor and found freshman Taber Spani for a three-pointer to put UT up 49-39. A trio of Tennessee sophomores also had a big impact on the win. Knoxville native Glory Johnson scored 14 points and grabbed six rebounds. In addition, Johnson was charged with defending Wright, who scored 35 against UT a year ago, but was held to 21 this time around. Shekinna Stricklen scored 20 points - her sixth career 20-point plus performance - grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a season-high six assists. Center Kelley Cain was limited to only six points, but her inside presence opened the perimeter up for the Lady Vol guards. Cain added six rebounds and six blocks, one off her career high and tied for third best in a single game for Tennessee. The Lady Vols owned the rebounding edge, 46-42, for the third time in as many games this season. UT’s 40 fi rst half points were its most in the fi rst 20 minutes this season.

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

Murphy Center (11,802)

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

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


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

GAME 6: GEORGE WASHINGTON The Tennessee Lady Vols entered their Dec. 1 match-up with George Washington with only nine available players as redshirt sophomore Kelley Cain did not play after suffering a concussion against UCLA. The nine available made the most of their opportunity and all played at least 18 minutes en route to a 93-53 win over the Colonials. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer made the most of her season high 22 minutes as she tallied a career high 23 points on 11-of-15 shooting and grabbed a season best seven rebounds.

Over the fi nal 6:54 of the fi rst half, the Lady Vols only surrendered a pair of GW free throws on their way to a 16-2 run and took a 54-24 lead into the break. At the half, sophomore Glory Johnson had notched her seventh career double double. The Knoxville native fi nished with 16 points and 12 rebounds.

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


GAME 9: LOUISVILLE Prior to the game, Head Coach Pat Summitt addressed the crowd of 11,084 and let them know that, for the fi rst time since 2004-05, each individual would have their name on the back of their jersey, telling the fans “Merry Christmas”. Her team would return the present to coach Summitt as they downed the Louisville Cardinals, 86-56, as UofL became the 180th team all-time to face UT and the 12th current BIG EAST squad to square off against the Lady Vols. Entering the game, the Cardinals had averaged 74.3 points per game, but were limited to 56 and 31.7 percent shooting. Tennessee jumped off to a scorching hot start, building a 23-3 lead with 13:30 to play in the fi rst half, including a stretch where UT went on an 18-0 run. However, the Cardinals would not give up and cut the Big Orange lead to seven (31-24) with 5:04 remaining before the fi rst half horn sounded. The Tennessee defense stepped up and allowed only two Louisville fi eld goals the rest of the half and went into the locker room with a 43-29 lead. It was the seventh time UT had lead after the fi rst 20 minutes, but the fi rst time that the Lady Vols had not trailed in the opening stanza this season. The second half provided much of the same as Tennessee extended its lead, reaching a 31-point margin (86-55) with 2:50 to play. Sophomore Alyssia Brewer led the Lady Vols with her third career double-double, posting 12 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Angie Bjorklund scored a team high 19 points and sophomore Shekinna Stricklen tossed in 15, pulled down eight rebounds and dished out six assists. Sophomore Glory Johnson hauled in double digit rebounds for the 10th time in her career, grabbing 10 caroms, to go with seven points. Tennessee tied the mark for second most blocks in a single game in school history with 12 and grabbed a season best 54 rebounds to Louisville’s 37. The Lady Vols have held an advantage on the boards in all nine contests this season.

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

Maples Pavilion (6,809)

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

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

War Memorial Gym (3,255)

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

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


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

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


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