GAME THREE SET-UP #4/5 Tennessee (2-0) plays its third of

four straight home games to open the 2014-15 campaign, welcoming Winthrop (1-1) to Thompson-Boling Arena for a 7 p.m. ET con-test on Friday. The game will not be televised, but the

SEC Network+ broadcast will be streamed live with Bob Kesling and former Lady Vol standout Brittany Jackson calling the action and Whitney Haworth reporting from the sideline. Winthrop is a member of the Big South

Conference and hails from Rock Hill, S.C., hometown of UT senior quarterback Justin Worley as well as VFL and current Minnesota Vikings standout Cordarrelle Patterson. These teams will be meeting for the fi rst

time since March 9, 1974, when Winthrop ended UT’s season, 55-53, in the semifi nal round of the AIAW Region II Championship in Harrisonburg, Va. That loss was the fi nal of Tennessee

coach Margaret Hutson’s successful four-year run as skipper. She fi nished 25-2 that season and 60-18 during her tenure before opting to take a sabbatical and open the door for Pat Summitt to be hired prior to the next season. The rest, as they say, is history. The Lady Vols are 2-1 in the all-time series

with the Eagles. The Big Orange will attempt to open a

season with three consecutive wins for the second straight time in Holly Warlick’s three-year stint as head coach. The Lady Volunteers have put together

dominating performances in their fi rst two games, pummeling Penn, 97-52, on Nov. 14 and racing by Oral Roberts, 91-39, on Nov. 17. It marked the fi rst time since the 2001-02

season that Tennessee has scored 90+ points in its opening two regular season games. Winthrop enters Friday’s tilt with a 1-1

record on the heels of a 73-55 home loss to Furman on Monday night. The Eagles opened the season, however,

with a 117-43 home triumph over Gallaudet on Saturday.

WHAT’S THE PROMOTION? The matchup with Winthrop will be

School Supply Day and another Big Orange Ticket game. Fans can donate two (2) new school sup-

ply items and receive one (1) free 300 level general admission ticket. All school supplies will be donated to the

Knox County School Supply Depot. For the “B.O.T.” promotion, if UT wins the

game, fans get a ticket for the next home game. If UT keeps winning, fans get to receive

each subsequent game ticket until a loss.

FIND THE GAME ON SEC NETWORK+ Friday night’s game vs. Winthrop, like all

contests broadcast via SEC Network+, is not accessible through a cable provider’s chan-nel guide. It also means the game won’t be shown

on an SEC Network “alternate channel.” Fans, however, can access the broadcast

through WatchESPN, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tab-lets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 or Xbox One to fans who receive their video subscription from an affi liated provider. Direct links to all online broadcasts are

always listed on the “event central” page for that particular game on UTsports.com.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER The matchup with Winthrop will mark

the third time in four games thus far that Tennessee has played a team with a varia-tion of Eagles for a mascot. UT defeated the Carson-Newman Lady

Eagles, 90-57, in the team’s lone exhibition game on Nov. 9. After dispatching the Penn Quakers, Ten-

nessee faced the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles last time out and fl ew away with a 91-39 vic-tory in Thompson-Boling Arena. UT will meet two other teams with an

avian presence, including Chattanooga (Mockingbird) and Auburn (Eagle).

LOOKING FOR ANOTHER 90+ GAME Tennessee has opened 2014-15 with con-

secutive 90+ scoring eff orts, tallying 97 vs. Penn and 91 vs. Oral Roberts. If the Lady Vols hit 90 vs. Winthrop, it

would mark only the second time in school history UT had put that many points on the scoreboard in its fi rst three contests. The 2001-02 Lady Vols scored 97, 106

and 90 in wins vs. Chattanooga, USC and Louisiana Tech that season. By contrast, UT scored 71, 71 and 101 vs.

Chattanooga, Georgia Tech and Rice in Holly Warlick’s fi rst season at the helm in 2012-13. Tennessee’s total of 188 points in the fi rst

two games ties as the fourth-highest sum the program has ever scored in its opening two games. The Lady Vols are in range of breaking

into the top 10 for the highest combined scoring total in their fi rst three games. The 2001-02 team had the highest totals

in the fi rst two (203) and three (293) games of a season.

A WIN WOULD... Lift the UT program’s all-time record to

1,250-279 in its 70th season. Improve Holly Warlick’s record as head

coach to 59-14 overall and 34-5 in Knoxville. She is 25-9 away from home. Raise the Tennessee seniors’ career record

to 86-23. Lift UT to its 12th straight win over an un-

ranked opponent since falling at Vanderbilt, 74-63, on Jan. 12, 2014. Improve Tennessee to 6-1 vs. teams from

the Big South.

HUGE MARGIN OF VICTORY The margin of +97 through the fi rst two

games was the second-most in the history of Tennessee women’s basketball. The record for the fi rst two games is +99 in 1989-90, when the Lady Vols beat Stetson (112-39) and Virginia Tech (81-55). That 1989-90 squad also holds the top

combined margin of victory over the fi rst three games, as well, with 140+ (112-39 vs. Stetson, 81-55 vs. Va. Tech. and 98-57 vs. W. Mich.). UT’s average score through two games

is 94.0 to 45.5, a whopping margin of +48.5.

SWIPE THAT ROCK Tennessee is averaged 16 steals per game

through the fi rst two contests, thanks to a to-tal of 21 swipes against Oral Roberts. Only four other times since 2000 have

the Lady Vols registered that many steals. UT had 23 vs. George Washington

(11/27/01). The Lady Vols also had 22 vs. La. Tech

(11/28/06) and Alcorn State (11/25/12), and 21 vs. Chattanooga (11/11/07). Andraya Carter is averaging six steals per

contest after her debut on Monday night. Jordan Reynolds has 10 in two games for

a 5.0 average. Tennessee has a 32 to seven advantage

on steals against its opponents, leading to a 64-7 margin on points off turnovers. Many of those points are of the fast break

variety, with Tennessee dominating its fi rst two opponents, 41-4, in that category.

OWNING THE PAINT Tennessee is winning the points in the

paint battle 110 to 44 over the fi rst two games. A big reason is that three inside players

are averaging double-doubles. Those players include 6-3 Nia Moore

(22.0 ppg., 11.5 rpg.), 6-2 Bashaara Graves (14.0 ppg., 10.0 rpg.) and 6-3 Isabelle Har-rison (12.0 ppg., 10.0 rpg.). Nia Moore also is patrolling the paint on

the defensive end, averaging four blocked shots per game.

SHARING THE BALL Through two games, Tennessee has 49

assists compared to only 19 for its oppo-nents. The Lady Vols had 28 assists through two

games a year ago.

A LOOK AT THE LADY VOL LINEUP(Based On Last Game)


Junior Nia Moore had another huge game for the Lady Vols with 20 points and nine rebounds. Through two games, Moore has 44 points and 23 rebounds. Bashaara Graves had a double-double

with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Kortney Dunbar was the other double-fi gure scorer with 10 points. Jordan Reynolds had an incredibly well-

rounded game with fi ve points, four re-bounds, seven assists and seven steals, all without a turnover. The defense was stifl ing all night, as Oral

Roberts made just 25 percent from the fl oor. That including a stretch of missing 18 fi eld goal attempts in a row bridging the halves. The Golden Eagles missed their fi rst 14 shots from 3-point range and fi nished 1-of-16. The Lady Vols forced ORU into 30 turn-

overs and outscored it by a remarkable 41-0 in points of turnovers. Oral Roberts (0-2) was led by 6-foot,

7-inch Vicky McIntyre, who had 10 points and 13 rebounds.

HITTING THE BOARDS Tennessee outrebounded Penn, 60-30, in

the opener and had a 27-12 advantage on the off ensive glass. Tennessee only had three games all last

season (Ga. Tech, 65; Troy, 74; Lipscomb, 61) where it had 60 or more boards. The Lady Vols hauled down 27 off en-

sive caroms vs. the Quakers, a total that was eclipsed only twice a year ago (Ga. Tech, 33; Troy, 32). Nia Moore (14), Isabelle Harrison (10) and

Bashaara Graves (10) each pulled down dou-ble-digit rebound totals vs. Penn. The Big Orange women then out-

rebounded Oral Roberts, 48-39, with Bashaara Graves notching 10 boards for the second straight contest.

LET THEM FLY, FRESHMEN With Meighan Simmons graduating and

taking with her a gift for three-point shoot-ing, UT has had all three rookies hit long balls. Kortney Dunbar is 5-of-10, Alexa Middle-

ton is 2-of-2 and Jaime Nared is 1-of-3 so far in 2014-15.

DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE Tennessee set a program record in the

opener vs Penn, with four Lady Vols record-ing double-doubles in a game for the fi rst time in school history. Nia Moore had career highs of 24 points

and 14 rebounds to card her second career double-double. Alexa Middleton had 20 points and 11

assists to open her career with a double-double. Bashaara Graves posted 16 points and 10

rebounds for the (then) 14th double-double of her career. Isabelle Harrison came off the bench to

round up 12 points and 10 boards and im-prove her SEC-leading career total of dou-ble-doubles to 25 at that point. Graves added another double-double vs.

Oral Roberts, compiling 12 points and 10 re-bounds vs. the Golden Eagles. It was her 15th such performance. Moore was only one rebound shy of an-

other double-double, putting up 20 points and nine boards vs. ORU.

Alexa Middleton and Jordan Reynolds are pacing the Big Orange with assists aver-ages of 6.5 and 6.0, respectively. Middleton recorded 11 assists in her fi rst

game, the most ever by a Lady Vol in her freshman debut.

EMBRACING CHARITY Tennessee is shooting 84.6% from the

free throw line as a team. The Lady Vols have connected on 22 of

26 attempts thus far. UT was 12 of 14 vs. Penn and hit 10 of 12

against Oral Roberts. Ariel Massengale (4-4) and Alexa Mid-

dleton (2-2) are perfect from the line, while Bashaara Graves (6-7), Isabelle Harrison (4-5), Jaime Nared (4-5) and Nia Moore (2-3) each have missed one.

ARIEL DIDN’T MISS A BEAT After missing the exhibition game and

season opener due to a team rule violation (missed a class), and sitting out the fi nal 16 games of the 2013-14 season due to in-jury, senior Ariel Massengale picked right up where she left off last season. Massengale hit eight of 12 shots from the

fi eld and was 4-of-4 from the free throw line to pace UT with 21 points vs. Oral Roberts. She also added three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. Over the fi rst 19 games last year, Mas-

sengale averaged 12.5 points and 5.8 assists per game and had three games of scoring 20 or more points, making the all-tournament team at the Junkanoo Jam tourney in the Bahamas.

FINDING NEE-MO After scoring 29 points in the exhibi-

tion contest vs. Carson-Newman on Nov. 9, junior center Nia Moore appeared to be out to prove a point that her eff ort was no fl uke. The 6-3 post connected on 12 of 18 shots

to card a career- and game-high 24 points for the Lady Vols vs. Penn. Just for good measure, she rounded up

career highs of 14 rebounds and four blocked shots and tied her career best with three as-sists. Moore’s points/rebounds double-double

was one of a school-record four for UT vs. Penn. It also was the fi rst time she led the

squad in scoring in a regular season game and third time she paced UT on the boards. Moore’s previous regular season career

bests were 12 points (Ole Miss, 2/10/13), 13 rebounds (Troy, 12/14/13), three blocks (Tenn. State, 12/17/13) and three assists (Troy, 12/14/13). Moore followed that Penn eff ort with 20

points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 29 minutes vs. Oral Roberts. Through two games, she is averaging

22.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while shooting 63.6% from the fi eld. Moore has more fi eld goals (21) in two

games than she did in either her entire freshman or sophomore seasons when she had 19 each.

LADY VOL 20-20 CLUB Nia Moore is in some good company

with her back-to-back 20+ point scoring ef-forts to open the campaign. Moore had 24 vs. Penn and 20 vs. Oral

Roberts, becoming just the sixth Lady Vol to accomplish 20-point games in the fi rst two games of the season. Only two Lady Vols have ever had more

than two 20+ games to open a campaign, and they were Lady Vol legends Candace Parker (4) and Chamique Holdsclaw (3).

TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY Thompson-Boling Arena and Knoxville

have long had a reputation as a diffi cult place for visitors to win. The Lady Vols are 386-28 all-time at

Thompson-Boling Arena in 28 seasons, ranking the venue No. 3 behind UConn’s Gampel Pavilion and Florida Gulf Coast’s Alico Arena, which only opened in 2007, in winning percentage. In all Knoxville venues, including Alumni

Gym, Stokely Athletics Center and Thomp-son-Boling Arena, UT is a remarkable 539-52 over the past 41 years (since 1974-75). That ranks Knoxville as the toughest

city in the nation to get an NCAA Division I women's basketball victory. UT has won 12 or more games in the

arena in each of its previous 27 years of ex-istence and 14 on 19 occasions. Tennessee has posted 11 seasons with

no losses in the facility. The Big Orange women are 42-0 at

Thompson-Boling Arena during NCAA play, including 14-0 in the First Round, 22-0 in the Second Round, 3-0 in the Sweet 16 and 3-0 in the Elite 8.

LADY VOLS DISMANTLE ORU In the storied history of Lady Vol bas-

ketball, only once has Tennessee won its fi rst two games by a combined larger mar-gin of victory than it has in 2014-15 after a 91-39 thumping of Oral Roberts on Monday night. The #4/4 Lady Vols scored the fi rst 10

points and never looked back. Tennessee moved to 2-0 on the young

season, outscoring its fi rst two foes by a to-tal of 97 points after a 97-52 pummeling of Penn on opening night last Friday. In her season debut, senior Ariel Mas-

sengale scored 21 points in 23 minutes off the bench.

ABOUT THE EAGLES. Winthrop is coming off its best season in

28 years as an NCAA Division I program. The Eagles won a school-record 24

games and captured their fi rst Big South Conference Tournament championship, ad-vancing to the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time. WU fell to No. 3 seed Duke, 87-45, in the

opening round in the 2014 NCAA tourney. Third-year head coach Kevin Cook re-

turns four starters from that squad. Leading the way is 6-foot-3 junior cen-

ter Schaquilla Nunn, who is averaging 29.9 points, 14.0 rebounds, 8.0 blocks and 4.0 steals per game thus far. Nunn, who is hitting 65.8% from the fi eld,

was named Big South Player of the Week af-ter scoring a school-record 39 points and tal-lying 16 rebounds, nine blocks and fi ve steals in Winthrop’s 117-43 blowout of Gallaudet on on Nov. 15. Sophomore guard/forward Erica Wil-

liams is averaging 14.0 points and 8.0 re-bounds, while redshirt senior guard Samiya Wright is scoring 12.0 per game, thanks to 6-of-6 accuracy from the three-point line. Coach Cook’s experience includes four

years as head coach at Gallaudet (the world’s only all-deaf college), a 10-year stint as an assistant with the WNBA’s Houston Comets as well as stops as associate head coach at the University of Houston (1995-97) and as-sistant at the University of Kansas (1983-93).

SERIES HISTORY VS. WU Tennessee holds a 2-1 lead in the all-time

series vs. Winthrop, but the Eagles enter Fri-day’s contest looking to extend their winning streak to two games over the Lady Vols. Winthrop won the last meeting, ending

UT’s season, 55-53, on March 9, 1974, in Har-risonburg, Va., at the AIAW Region II Cham-pionships. The Eagles won that semifi nal matchup

after the Lady Vols had prevailed in a regular season tournament at Winthrop earlier in the season, 60-45, on Feb. 16. That AIAW contest was the last one from

the pre-Pat Summitt era, as Margaret Hutson closed out her four-year stint with a 60-18 re-cord before going on a sabbatical. Hutson’s departure opened the door for

UT to hire a young, untested coach named Pat Head (later Pat Head Summitt) to lead the program. Summitt did alright, leading Tennessee

to a 1,098-208 record with eight NCAA titles and 32 combined SEC championships over 38 seasons. UT and WU met on Feb. 15, 1969, when

former UT Women’s Athletics Director Joan Cronan was head coach of the Tennessee team, and her squad triumphed, 31-29 in tournament play at Rock Hill, S.C.

with a Penn player and had to leave the game on Nov. 14. She played only seven min-utes and did not return. Jones missed the Oral Roberts game with

a mild concussion and is listed as day to day.

LADY VOL DOUBLE DOUBLES Isabelle Harrison suff ered a right leg in-

jury with 3:26 remaining in the Penn game and had to be helped from the fl oor. She was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in her right knee and missed the ORU game. She is listed as day to day as well.

A VERY PRODUCTIVE BENCH Despite having only three players avail-

able off the bench, Tennessee outscored Penn’s nine reserves, 37-13, in the opener. Kortney Dunbar (15), Isabelle Harrison

(12) and Jaime Nared (10) combined for that total, with Harrison adding 10 rebounds for her 25th career double-double. Tennessee was without Cierra Burdick,

Andraya Carter, Ariel Massengale and Jan-nah Tucker vs. Penn and Carson-Newman (exhibition) due to violations of team rules that head coach Holly Warlick announced on Weds., Nov. 5 and clarifi ed postgame of the exhibition vs. C-N on Nov. 9. Carter and Massengale returned to ac-

tion vs. Oral Roberts on Monday, but Isabelle Harrison and Jasmine Jones missed the con-test due to injuries, while Cierra Burdick sat out her fi nal game of suspension. That meant Warlick again had a bench of

only three players vs. ORU, but the reserves outscored the Golden Eagles’ bench, 39-13, giving UT a 76-26 bench points advantage in its fi rst two games. Ariel Massengale had 21 points, while

Kortney Dunbar added 10 and Andraya Cart-er eight for UT’s subs vs. ORU. Jannah Tucker, who is working her way

back from an off season procedure on her left knee, will miss two contests at the time she has been cleared medically to return to com-petition in games. Diamond DeShields and Mercedes Rus-

sell are redshirting this season, leaving Holly Warlick with a roster of 12 when everyone is healthy.

BALL SECURITY Tennessee committed only eight turn-

overs in its season opener vs. Penn, this de-spite its most experienced ballhandlers in Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter miss-ing the game due to a violation of team rules. Only one time all last season did Ten-

nessee have a single-digit turnover total in a game, and that came on March 2, 2014, in a home win over South Carolina (73-61) when UT had only seven on senior day. UT’s freshman trio of Kortney Dunbar,

Alexa Middleton and Jaime Nared combined for ZERO turnovers in their fi rst regular sea-son game. Conversely, Middleton (11) and Nared (4)

combined for 15 assists. Junior center Nia Moore had zero mis-

cues in 31 minutes of duty. In 33 minutes, point guard Jordan Reyn-

olds committed two turnovers while dishing out fi ve assists, grabbing eight rebounds and tallying three steals. Reynolds, who had 0 points vs. Penn,

drew praise from the coaching staff for not letting her scoring production, or lack there-of, aff ect the rest of her game. Tennessee committed 13 turnovers in

game two vs. ORU, giving the Lady Vols only 21 turnovers in its fi rst two contests for an average of 10.5 per game. In the opening two games last season,

UT turned it over 42 times for a 21.0 average.


SENSATIONAL ROOKIE DEBUTS For only the second time in school histo-

ry, three Lady Vol freshmen scored in double fi gures in the same game during their regu-lar season debuts. Alexa Middleton tossed in 20 points,

Kortney Dunbar scored 15 and Jaime Nared added 10 to accomplish the feat. The fi rst trio to do it made it happen

vs. East Carolina on Nov. 24, 1985, as Sheila Frost (16), Bridgette Gordon (13) and Me-lissa McCray (10) spurred #9/11 UT to a 74-56 victory in Knoxville. Frost, Gordon and McCray went on to

lead UT to NCAA titles No. 1 and 2 in 1987 and 1989, and became known as the “Money Players.” Middleton also posted a single-game

best for most assists in a Lady Vol debut, dishing out 11 to surpass the nine Jody Ad-ams had as #1/1 Tennessee beat Stetson on Nov. 26, 1989, 112-39. That assist total ties for the second most

ever by a freshman in any game. Ariel Mas-sengale holds the record with 12 vs. Vander-bilt on Jan. 15, 2012. Massengale also had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 26, 2012, while Meighan Simmons had 11 vs. Alabama on Jan. 6, 2011. Middleton’s 20 points were the most in a

rookie debut since Meighan Simmons came off the bench to score 22 for #4/4 Tennessee in a 63-50 win at Louisville on Nov. 12, 2012. Middleton is only the fi fth Lady Vol rook-

ie to score 20 or more points in her debut. With her points/assists double-double,

Middleton became the seventh Lady Vol freshman and fi rst rookie guard to post a double-double in her fi rst game. The previous rookie debut double-dou-

ble was Glory Johnson’s 17/12 eff ort vs. San Francisco in 2008. In addition to Middleton and Johnson,

the other freshman debut double-doubles, all of them of the points/rebounds variety, were by Mary Ostrowski (15/10 vs. Alabama in 1980), Lisa Harrison (13/12 vs. Stetson in 1989), Tiff any Johnson (18/17 vs. La. Tech in 1994), Chamique Holdsclaw (13/10 vs. Vir-

ginia in 1995) and Candace Parker (19/10 vs. Stetson in 2005).

ROOKIE FIRST-GAME STARTS Alexa Middleton became the 18th fresh-

man to start her fi rst game as a Lady Vol. She did quite nicely, fi nishing with a

double-double of 20 points and 11 assists to go along with six rebounds, three steals and zero turnovers in 32 minutes. Andraya Carter was the last rookie to

draw a starting nod, reporting for the open-ing tip at Chattanooga in 2012. Senior Ariel Massengale also started her

fi rst game, as (then) head coach Pat Sum-mitt predicted before Massengale arrived on campus. Massengale made her debut vs. Pepper-

dine in Knoxville in 2011, tallying two points, three rebounds, fi ve assists and two steals. A year ago, Mercedes Russell had 11

points, seven rebounds, an assist, three blocks and a steal in UT’s opening-game win at Middle Tennessee. In 2012 Bashaara Graves came off the

bench to score 14 points and haul down eight rebounds in UT’s opening-night set-back at Chattanooga.

NUMBERS GAME This marks the 70th season of Lady Vol

basketball, as recognized by the NCAA. Minus departed senior guard Meighan

Simmons and redshirting sophomore cen-ter Mercedes Russell, UT returns 70.7% of its points, 83.2% of its rebounds, 81.7% of its as-sists, 79.5% of its steals, 68.9% of its blocks and 76.2% of its turnovers from last season. Tennessee has 14 players on its roster,

marking the most since having 15 in 2004-05. Twelve are active this season. UT has 10 players on its roster who stand

6-0 or taller, the most in school history. Eight of those six-footers are active this year. There are eight Lady Vols 6-2 or taller

on the roster, also the most in school history. Seven of those players are active this season.

FIRST FOUR GAMES ARE AT HOME After hosting one exhibition game, Ten-

nesee is in the midst of playing its fi rst four regular season games at Thompson-Boling Arena. This marks the fi rst time since 2003-04

and only the second occasion since 1974-75 that the Lady Vols have played their fi rst four games at home to open a season. UT started the regular season with wins

vs. Penn (W, 97-52 on Nov. 14) and Oral Rob-erts (W, 91-39 on Nov. 17) and follows with Winthrop (Nov. 21) and Tennessee State (Nov. 24), all 7 p.m. ET tips streamed on SEC Network+. UT won’t hit the road until Nov. 26, as

the Lady Vols play at Chattanooga and then travel again for a Nov. 30 contest at Texas.

TOUGH SCHEDULE AWAITS UT Tennessee will face eight teams this sea-

son that were ranked in the AP Preseason Poll, including fi ve in the top 10. UT also will face eight in the USA Today

NATIONAL RANKINGS


Bashaara Graves was the No. 23 ranked player, according to espnW.com.

TENNESSEE NO. 2 IN SEC POLLS Tennessee was picked by both the me-

dia (Oct. 21) and coaches (Nov. 5) to fi nish second in the Southeastern Conference race behind South Carolina. USC won the SEC regular season trophy,

and UT claimed the tourney title a year ago. Tennessee won the regular season fi nale

over the Gamecocks last season in Knoxville, 73-61, on March 2. Texas A&M and Kentucky rounded out

the top four in both preseason SEC polls.

PRESEASON SEC HONORS FOR TWO League coaches named senior center Is-

abelle Harrison and junior forward Bashaara Graves to the preseason All-SEC First Team. The media, which picks only a fi ve-player

preseason All-SEC Team, included Harrison in their all-star quintet.

THE LOGO REMAINS THE SAME UT announced a branding restructure on

Nov. 10, and the decision will allow the Lady Volunteers to continue using their highly-recognizable and successful brand. The restructure won’t take place un-

til July 1, 2015, but the university and all other athletics teams at Tennessee, except for women’s basketball, will then utilize the “Power T” logo. The women’s basketball program was

excluded from the transition because of the accomplishments and legacy of the champi-onship program built by Coach Pat Summitt and her former players. “#OneTennessee has united all the ath-

letic programs here at the University of Tennessee,” said head women’s basket-ball coach Holly Warlick. “The value of this bonding enriches the support we can off er to all student-athletes. We now have unlim-ited access to our tremendous facilities and programs that not only benefi t our current athletes while also promoting our pursuit of excellence to future prospects.“The advantage of a state-of-the-art train-

ing facility, our Smokey’s Grill dining facility, where athletes from every sport can eat to-gether, and the modernized future athletic housing are just a few examples of how the One Tennessee premise confi rms our high ideals.“The Lady Vol logo, however, has long been

the monogram of excellence and a tradi-tion among our loyal basketball fans. This is a symbol that is recognized and linked with a superior standard of women’s basketball worldwide. In the 38 years of Coach Sum-mitt’s storied career, she established a tradi-tion unlike any other in women’s basketball, and she did so under the banner of the Lady Vol logo. It is with deep respect for Coach Summitt and this great tradition that we will continue to wear the Lady Vol logo with great pride.”

NINE LETTERWINNERS RETURN Tennessee returns nine letterwinners,

(eight active) including four starters, from last year’s team that went 29-6 overall and 13-3 in the Southeastern Conference, won an SEC tournament championship and made the NCAA Sweet 16. Isabelle Harrison, a 6-foot-3 senior cen-

ter, is Tennessee’s top returning player and All-America candidate, having averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds as a junior with an SEC-leading 18 double-doubles. Also back are 6-2 junior forward Bashaara

Graves (9.3 ppg., 6.8 rpg.), 6-2 senior for-ward Cierra Burdick (8.7 ppg., 7.3 rpg.) and 5-6 senior point guard Ariel Massengale (12.5 ppg., 5.8 apg.). Massengale started the fi rst 19 games un-

til a facial injury suff ered vs. Florida ended her season. Andraya Carter, now a 5-9 redshirt soph-

omore, stepped in for Massengale and aver-aged 6.9 points and 2.3 assists per contest while starting 21 contests. Carter made the SEC All-Freshman Team

last season, while Burdick was named to the 2014 SEC All-Tournament Team. Graves was SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC First Team in 2012-13. Jasmine Jones (4.8 ppg., 3.5 rpg.), a 6-2

junior forward returns as UT’s top defender and most athletic player, while 5-11 sopho-more Jordan Reynolds (3.8 ppg., 1.9 rpg.)

and 6-3 junior Nia Moore (2.3 ppg., 2.1 rpg.) off er experience at the guard and center po-sitions.

ESPN “NEED TO KNOW” PLAYER Isabelle Harrison had a breakout junior

season, earning All-SEC First Team and SEC Tournament MVP accolades as well as third-team Full Court All-America kudos and hon-orable mention All-America from AP and the WBCA. For those and a few other reason, ESPN

tabbed Harrison as one of its “Need To Know” players this season. Harrison ranked fi rst in the SEC in fi eld

goal percentage (57.7%) and double-doubles (18), second in rebound average (9.3) and 18th in scoring average (13.6). She set a Tennessee junior record with

those 18 double-doubles, passing the previ-ous record holder, Chamique Holdsclaw, who had 16 in 1997-98. Only Candace Parker had more double-

doubles in a season for UT, tallying 21 as a sophomore in 2006-07.

2014 LADY VOL SIGNEES On national signing day on Nov. 12, third-year head coach Holly Warlick and her staff , who

Number 22. Only two players have ever had a Lady Vol game jersey with that number on it. After the jersey was retired on Feb. 18, 1980, no basketball player has had a No. 22 Tennessee jersey since then. There wasn’t supposed to be another one until Lauren Hill came along.

Hill, a freshman basketball player at Mount St. Joseph University, joins third-year UT head coach Holly Warlick (1976-80) and Joy Scruggs (1971-75) as the only basket-ball players to possess a Tennessee uniform with double deuces. Hill’s inspirational story moved Warlick, Tennes-see’s third-year head coach, and Michael Beaumont, the team’s director of operations, to fi nd a way to show Tennessee’s admiration and support for Hill in any way they could.

“We were all very touched and moved by Lauren’s story and her desire to play one more basketball game,” Warlick said. “We’ve talked a lot this preseason about being thankful for what we’ve been given and taking advantage of every day, because you never know what can happen.

“Lauren’s attitude and fi ght and spirit embody exactly what we’ve been trying to convey, so we couldn’t help but connect and relate to her immediately. She’s one of us.”

From Dec. 14, 2014 to Jan. 9, 2014, Har-rison posted seven-straight games with double-doubles, setting a Lady Vol program record for consecutive double-doubles. She scored in double fi gures in 31 of 35

contests, including 20 games in a row from Nov. 29-Feb. 20. She racked up 20 contests with 10 or

more rebounds. Earned SEC Tournament MVP honors af-

ter leading UT to its 17th postseason league title, averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game in the tourney.

LOOK WHO’S MOVING UP THE CHARTS Tennessee will have several players ca-

pable of joining the 38-member Lady Vol 1,000-point club this season. The group includes Isabelle Harrison

(827), Bashaara Graves (815), Ariel Massen-gale (780) and Cierra Burdick (698). Three Lady Vols have 500 or more re-

bounds, including Harrison (607), Burdick (536) and Graves (539), and it takes 811 or more to break into the school’s all-time lead-ers list. On the UT career double-doubles list,

Harrison ranks eighth with 25, while Bashaara Graves (15) and Cierra Burdick (12) stand No. 19 and No. 25, respectively. Massengale ranks ninth on UT’s career

assists list with 432 and has the No. 2 career assist average at 4.9 entering her senior sea-son. Massengale’s 5.8 apg. average in 2013-14

was fourth-best in school history. Massengale is attempting to become

only the second Lady Vol to lead the team in assists four straight seasons. Dawn Marsh (1984-88) is the only one to do it. On the career free throw percentage list,

Massengale ranks No. 10 at .796. Harrison is ranked 10th in career blocks

with 107 and is No. 7 on the career block av-erage chart at 1.15. Graves ranks No. 10 on UT’s career re-

bound average list at 7.4 per contest.

FOUR SEEK 1,000-POINT MILESTONE Isabelle Harrison (827), Bashaara

Graves (815), Ariel Massengale (780) and Cierra Burdick (698) are trying to reach the 1,000-point plateau in their college careeers. Tennessee has had 38 players score 1,000

points, but it has never before had four do so in the same season. There have been nine occasions where

Tennessee has had three players with 1,000 points on the same team. The last trio to do that came in 2010-

11, when Angie Bjorklund (1,469), Shekinna Stricklen (1,343) and Glory Johnson (1,132) accomplished that feat.

RUSSELL SITS, SIMMONS GRADUATES Of Tennessee’s nine returning letterwin-

ners this season, one of them won’t be play-ing in 2014-15 as she redshirts to completely recover from off -season foot surgeries. Mercedes Russell (6.3 ppg., 5.0 rpg.), a

6-6 sophomore center, will sit out, leaving UT with eight active returning letterwinners but allowing the Oregonian three more years of eligibility at Tennessee. The Lady Vols lost only one player to

graduation, but it was a key one in Meighan “Speedy” Simmons. Simmons concluded her career as Ten-

nessee’s No. 5 all-time scorer with 2,064 points in 143 games. She is only the fi fth player in school his-

tory to reach the 2,000-point plateau, join-ing Chamique Holdsclaw (3,025, 1995-99), Bridgette Gordon (2,462, 1985-89), Candace Parker (2,137, 2005-08) and Tamika Catch-ings (2,113, 1997-2001). Simmons continued the program’s

100-percent graduation rate when she earned a B.A. in psychology in August 2014. Simmons averaged 16.5 points per game

as a senior to rank No. 5 in the SEC. The 5-9 guard was named AP SEC Play-

er of the Year and All-SEC First Team, and earned Full Court All-America Second Team as well as AP and WBCA Honorable Mention All-America distinction. Known for her three-point shooting

prowess, Simmons fi nished with 255 threes in her career to rank No. 4 at UT and her 72 treys in 2013-14 stacked up No. 7.

TUCKER EYES RETURN TO ACTION Big Orange Nation is excited, but no one

is more anxious to return to the court this year than 6-0 redshirt freshman guard Jan-nah Tucker. Tucker was the No. 8 ranked recruit in

the 2013 espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, but her journey to playing at Tennessee was side-tracked by two unfortunate situations. First, she suff ered an injury to her left

knee while playing on the USA U18 squad at the 2012 FIBA Americas Championship. She sat out her senior year of high school rehab-bing from that misfortune. Expected to begin attending school at

UT during summer 2013, Tucker didn’t arrive on campus until Jan. 2014. It was later learned her delay in coming

to UT was the result of her being the victim of domestic violence. Tucker quickly fi t in with her teammates

and was an encourager on the bench for the squad in 2013-14. A procedure to clean up the knee oc-

curred during summer 2014, and Tucker is progressing toward a return to the court in 2014-15.

SIXTH-RANKED FRESHMAN CLASS No. 6-rated Jaime Nared, a 6-2 guard/

forward from Portland, Ore./Westview H.S. is UT’s top-ranked signee and averaged 30.0 ppg. as a senior there. In-state product Alexa Middleton, ranked

No. 28 by espnW HoopGurlz, is a 5-9 guard who led her Murfreesboro, Tenn./Riverdale H.S. squad to a pair of state titles. Three-point marksman Kortney Dunbar

joins UT as the No. 78 signee. She drained 57 treys and averaged 16.8 ppg. and 9.7 rpg. as a senior at Edwardsville (Ill.) H.S. Nared and Middleton were 2014 McDon-

ald’s High School All-Americans, with Nared leading the West to victory with 15 points. Middleton won the Powerade Jam Fest

skills competition and three-point shootout in conjunction with the McDonald’s Game. She became the fi rst McDonald’s All-

American to win two contests at the Pow-erade Jam Fest.

DESHIELDS TRANSFERS TO UT After previously announcing her depar-

ture from North Carolina, Diamond DeShields shared her decision to transfer to UT from UNC on June 12, 2014, and enrolled here for the second session of summer school. DeShields, a 6-0 sophomore guard from

Norcross, Ga., will sit out this season at UT, per NCAA transfer rules. DeShields expressed interest in Tennes-

see coming out of high school but opted for UNC on signing day. The consensus national freshman of the

year for the Tar Heels, DeShields averaged a team-leading 18.0 ppg., 5.4 rpg., 2.6 apg. and 1.7 spg. in 2013-14. She earned honorable mention All-Amer-

ica honors from AP and Full Court and was both All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman. She set four ACC freshman marks, includ-

ing points (648), fi eld goals (248), fi eld goals attempted (582) and double-fi gure scoring games (32). DeShields’ mother, Tisha (Milligan)

DeShields, was a track & fi eld All-American at Tennessee (heptathlon) in 1991.

UT’S RECRUITING RANKINGS UT signed the No. 1 espnW HoopGurlz

recruiting class in 2011, No. 5 in 2012, No. 3 in 2013 and No. 6 in 2014. The top-ranked 2011 group, this year’s se-

niors, included No. 3 Cierra Burdick, No. 4 Ar-

SUPPORTING LAUREN HILL


iel Massengale and No. 29 Isabelle Harrison. The 2013 class included No. 1 Mercedes

Russell, No. 8 Jannah Tucker and No. 42 Jor-dan Reynolds, but they now can add that year’s No. 3 recruit, Diamond DeShields. The top signees from 2012 and 2014 are

Bashaara Graves (No. 5) and Jaime Nared (No. 6), respectively.

EIGHT MCDONALD’S A-AS ON ROSTER Tennessee has eight McDonald’s All-

Americans on its roster, and six of those players are expected to be on the fl oor this season. The eight players are Cierra Burdick,

Diamond DeShields, Bashaara Graves, Ariel Massengale, Alexa Middleton, Jaime Nared, Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell. DeShields and Russell are redshirting this

season. Russell was the 2013 McDonald’s Game

MVP, leading the West to a win with 16 points. Nared led the West to a win in 2014 with

15 points but came up short in MVP voting. Tennessee now has had 26 McDonald’s

All-Americans through the years.

LADY VOLS A POPULAR DRAW The Lady Vols will have 21 of 30 games,

including 15 of 16 league tilts, scheduled for television this season. Tennessee will be featured 12 times on TV

via the SEC Network, four times on ESPN2, twice each on ESPNU and Fox Sports Net, and once on Fox Sports 1. Twenty of those 21 contests also will

be available via WatchESPN, with the Fox Sports 1 telecast being the only exception. Fifteen of 16 Big Orange SEC contests

will be televised, with the Feb. 12 game at Ole Miss being the exception. The nine non-televised games will be

broadcast online. Seven of those events will be carried by SEC Network +, and the others will be on GoMocs.com (Nov. 26 at Chatta-nooga) and on ESPN3 (Dec. 7 at Lipscomb).

MORE GOLD FOR BURDICK Lady Vol senior Cierra Burdick earned

her fourth gold medal with USA Basketball over the summer. Burdick joined Sara Hammond (Louis-

ville), Jewell Loyd (Notre Dame) and Tiff any Mitchell (South Carolina) to capture the 2014 FIBA 3x3 World Championship in Moscow, Russia. The USA quartet qualifi ed for the world

tourney in May by winning at the 2014 USA Basketball Women’s 3x3 National Champion-ship in Colorado Springs. Burdick also struck gold at the 2011 U19

World Championship, 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship and 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.

WE GO TO CLASS & GRADUATE Go to class, be on time and sit in the front

three rows are three rules that are Tennessee staples. While some might consider those stan-

dards incredibly high, it certainly contributes to the Lady Vols having a 100 percent gradu-ation rate for players who complete their eli-gibility at UT. It also helps explain why seven of 11 play-

ers on last year’s squad were members of the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

STRONG SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE Tennessee has the No. 1-ranked facebook

page among women’s basketball programs with more than 75,000 Likes. The Lady Vols also rank No. 1 in Twitter

among women’s hoops teams, with more than 25,000 followers. After two seasons as head coach at Ten-

nessee Holly Warlick (@HollyWarlick) checks in number fi ve among women’s college bas-ketball coaches with more than 18,800 fol-lowers, ranking behind former TV analyst Jimmy Dykes of Arkansas (42,000+), Tyler Summitt of La. Tech (40,000+), Kentucky’s Matthew Mitchell (25,000+) and South Caro-lina’s Dawn Staley (18,900+).

IT’S NOT PERSONAL; IT’S BUSINESS Against former Lady Vols as head coach-

es, Warlick is 4-1, including 3-1 vs. Nikki Caldwell (LSU) and 1-0 vs. Tonya Edwards (Alcorn State). Against teams with former UT staff

members coaching, Warlick is 7-3, including 1-2 vs. Kentucky (Matthew Mitchell), 1-0 vs. Lipscomb (Greg Brown), 3-1 vs. LSU (Nikki Caldwell, Tasha Butts) and 2-0 vs. North Car-olina (Sylvia Hatchell). Against teams with former Lady Vols

on the staff , Warlick is 9-3, including 1-0 vs. Alcorn State (Tonya Edwards), 1-2 vs. Kentucky (Shalon Pillow), 3-1 vs. LSU (Nikki Caldwell, Tasha Butts), 1-0 vs. Middle Tennes-see (Dustin Edwards, Alex Fuller), 1-0 vs. Ole Miss (Alex Fuller Simmons) and 2-0 vs. South Carolina (Nikki McCray). Against teams with former Lady Vol play-

ers and/or staff ers, Warlick is 12-3, including 1-0 vs. Alcorn State (Tonya Edwards), 1-2 vs. Kentucky (Matthew Mitchell, Shalon Pillow), 1-0 vs. Lipscomb (Greg Brown), 3-1 vs. LSU (Nikki Caldwell, Tasha Butts), 1-0 vs. Middle Tennessee (Alex Fuller), 2-0 vs. North Caro-lina (Sylvia Hatchell), 1-0 vs. Ole Miss (Alex Fuller Simmons) and 2-0 vs. South Carolina (Nikki McCray).

TENNESSEE VS. THE SEC Last season, Tennessee boosted its re-

cord to 497-76 all-time vs. schools who are current members of the Southeastern Con-ference. In 2013-14, UT also pushed its all-time

SEC regular season record to 344-49 and its regular-season league ledger under Holly Warlick to 27-5 during her fi rst two seasons at the helm. In 2013-14, the Lady Vols improved to 193-

13 in SEC regular-season play since 2000-01.

LADY VOLS HAVE WON 34 TITLES Tennessee upped its total of combined

SEC Championships to 34 in 2013-14, win-ning its 17th all-time SEC Tournament title in Duluth, Ga., 71-70, over Kentucky. The Lady Vols came from 10-down or

more to win all three games during the 2013-14 league tourney. That postseason tournament victory

came on the heels of Tennessee’s SEC regu-lar-season title in 2012-13. The Lady Vols have won 17 SEC regular-

season championships, including three in the past fi ve seasons. UT has 17 league tournament titles to its

credit, including three straight from 2010-12. Since 1985, there have been only fi ve

seasons where Tennessee didn’t win at least a regular season or tournament title. Those were 1986, 1987, 1991, 1997 and 2009. The Lady Vols have swept SEC regular-

season and tournament championships on eight occasions. Those years were 1980, 1985, 1994, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2010 and 2011. Tennessee stands fi rst in regular season

and tournament titles in conference history with Georgia ranking second with seven reg-ular season trophies and Vanderbilt standing sixth in tourney hardware with six pieces.

17TH SEC POSTSEASON CROWN Sixth-ranked Tennessee captured its re-

cord 17th SEC Tournament title with a 71-70 victory over No. 12 Kentucky in Duluth, Ga., on March 9. UT had dropped a 75-71 decision to UK

in Knoxville during the regular season and ended a two-game Wildcat winning streak in the series. During the SEC tourney fi nal, senior

Meighan Simmons became the fi fth Lady Vol to score 2,000 points in her career, tallying a

LOOKING BACK TO 2013-14


team-high 17 to boost her past 2K. Junior center Isabelle Harrison added 16

points, and freshman guard Jordan Reyn-olds, who was clutch down the stretch, fi n-ished with 11 points to help UT prevail. Harrison was named SEC Tournament

MVP, while Cierra Burdick added 10 boards in the fi nal and joined her teammate on the all-tourney team. The No. 2 seed Lady Vols have won four

of the last six SEC Tournament titles and sev-en of the past 10. For the ninth time, Tennessee fi nished

the regular season in second place, and for the ninth time, the Lady Vols went on to win the SEC Tournament. Tennessee now is 17-5 in SEC Tournament

championship games, winning seven consec-utive title games it has played in dating back to 2005. The Lady Vols are 73-18 all-time in the

SEC Tournament over its 35 years of exis-tence, including an 18-2 mark since 2008. SIMMONS FINISHES FIFTH IN SCORING Meighan Simmons wrapped up her pro-

lifi c Lady Vol career on March 30, 2014, scor-ing 31 points vs. Maryland in her collegiate fi nale. That tally pushed her career total to

2,064, ranking her fi fth in UT women’s bas-ketball history. Simmons joined Chamique Holdsclaw

(3,025), Bridgette Gordon (2,462), Candace Parker (2,137) and Tamika Catchings (2,113) as the only Tennessee women to eclipse the 2,000-point plateau in their college careers. Simmons started 127 of her 143 games as

a Lady Vol, averaging 14.4 points per contest from 2010-14 to rank ninth in UT annals. She is tied for fourth among all Lady Vols

in career games played and fi fth in games started. A noted long-range bomber, Simmons

tied her own UT record for most three-point-ers in a game with eight vs. Virginia on Nov. 28, 2013. Simmons fi nished fourth in career threes

with 255 and her total of 72 last season was the seventh-most by a Lady Vol in a single campaign, following the 69 (No. 8) she drained as a junior. Her career fi eld goal attempts (740) rank

No. 1 in Big Orange history. In total fi eld goals made, Simmons ranks

No. 6 (746) in Tennessee history and is No. 3 (1,834) in fi eld goals attempted. Simmons scored in double fi gures 30

times as a senior and did so on 109 occasions in her career. In her tenure, Simmons scored 20 or

more points on 30 occasions and 30 or more four times. She had 10 20-point eff orts and three

30-point performances in 2013-14.

MASSENGALE AMONG UT’S ELITE In an injury-curtailed season, Ariel Mas-

sengale averaged 5.8 assists per game in 2013-14, a rate that was fourth-best in school history. She ranks No. 2 in career apg. at 4.9 and

her 430 career assists rank her No. 9 at UT. Massengale is seeking to become only

the second player in school history to lead UT in assists all four years. Dawn Marsh is the other.

THOMAS, UMD END UT’S SEASON No. 1 seed Tennessee’s season came to an

abrupt halt with a 73-62 loss to fourth-seed-ed Maryland on March 30, 2014, in the Sweet 16 at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. The Lady Vols fi nished 2013-14 with a

29-6 record, including a 13-3 SEC mark that left them second in the SEC regular season race. Senior Meighan Simmons tallied 31 points

in her fi nal college game, while Jasmine Jones chipped in 11 as the only other Lady Vol in double fi gures. Bashaara Graves corralled 14 rebounds,

and Isabelle Harrison grabbed 10 boards to pace UT on the glass. Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas fi red in a ca-

reer-high 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Terps on to the Elite Eight. Lexie Brown added 14 points, while Laurin Mincy tossed in 11. It marked Tennessee’s 32nd visit to the

Sweet 16, and UMD prevented the Lady Vols from making their 27th Elite Eight appear-ance. Simmons was named to the NCAA All-

Louisville Regional Team.

LADY VOLS WIN JUNKANOO JAM Ariel Massengale paced No. 3/4 Tennes-

see with 16 points, and the Lady Vols used a big second half to crush SMU, 87-47, on Nov. 29 and win the Lucaya Division cham-pionship of the 11th-annual Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas. The win marked UT’s fi rst holiday tourna-

ment title since winning the 2005 Paradise Jam during Thanksgiving break in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It also was UT’s fi rst-ever countable regu-

lar season victory in a true foreign country. The Lady Vols advanced to Friday’s ti-

tle game after defeating Virginia, 76-67, on Thursday. Tennessee shot 46.6 percent vs. SMU, in-

cluding 55.9 percent in the second half (19-of-34). UT outscored the Mustangs, 48-20, after

halftime and enjoyed a 54-31 rebounding ad-vantage for the game. Meighan Simmons paced UT past UVa in

the fi rst round game, fi ring in a season-best 32 points and nailing a career-high-tying eight three-pointers. Simmons was named the tourney’s MVP,

while Massengale joined her on the all-tour-nament team.

SIMMONS TAKEN IN THIRD ROUND The New York Liberty snagged Tennes-

see’s Meighan Simmons with the the 26th overall selection of the WNBA Draft. Simmons, who lasted until the second

pick of the third round, continued Tennes-see’s rich history in the WNBA Draft, becom-ing the 38th player to join the league. She also became the second Lady Vol of

the Holly Warlick era to have her name called on draft night, following in the footsteps of last year’s second-round pick, Kamiko Wil-liams, who also was taken by New York.

SIMMONS WAS AP PLAYER OF THE YR. Meighan Simmons was named the 2014

Associated Press SEC Player of the Year. Simmons and Isabelle Harrison were se-

lected to the Associated Press & Coaches All-Southeastern Conference First Team.

Redshirt freshman point guard Andraya Carter was selected to the Coaches SEC All-Freshman Team. Simmons was the coaches choice for SEC

Co-Player of the Year in 2012-13, but 2013-14 was her fi rst AP SEC Player of the Year honor. It marked the third all-league honor from

the coaches and AP for Simmons, including fi rst-team kudos for the second year in a row. Harrison and Carter garnered SEC honors

for the fi rst time in their careers. For her good work around town, junior

forward Cierra Burdick was named to the SEC Community Service Team.

HARRISON 2014 SEC TOURNEY MVP Junior center Isabelle Harrison was

named to the SEC All-Tournament Team and SEC Tournament Most Valuable Player after averaging 19.0 points and 10.0 points and shooting 59.1% in UT’s three games. Harrison had double-doubles of 21/12

and 20/13 vs. LSU and Texas A&M in tourney play and tallied 16 points and fi ve rebounds vs. Kentucky in the fi nal. She hit 10 of 15 shots vs. LSU, nine of 17

vs. Texas A&M and seven of 12 vs. Kentucky. Tennessee has had 15 SEC Tournament

MVPs through the years, with a Lady Vol win-ning four of the last fi ve awards. Glory Johnson (2012), Shekinna Stricklen

(2011) and Alyssia Brewer (2010) were the past three SEC Tournament MVPs from Ten-nessee prior to Harrison. Junior forward Cierra Burdick was cho-

sen for the SEC All-Tournament Team, as well, after averaging 10.3 rebounds and 8.3 points over three games for the Lady Vols.

LADY VOL ACADEMIC ACCLAIM Seven of 11 players on the 2013-14 Lady

Vol roster were recognized for their work in the classroom last season. Tennessee put fi ve players on the 2014

SEC Academic Honor Roll, including Cierra Burdick, Bashaara Graves, Isabelle Harrison, Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter. Jordan Reynolds and Mercedes Russell

were named to the SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll. As of August 2014, Meighan Simmons

and Isabelle Harrison completed their under-graduate degrees at Tennessee, becoming the 123rd and 124th Lady Vols to keep alive a 100-percent graduate rate among play-ers who completed (or are in the process of completing) their eligibility at Tennessee.

ATTENDANCE LEADER ONCE AGAIN Tennessee led the nation in women’s bas-

ketball attendance with an average crowd of 11,038 per game in 2013-14. The Lady Vols have paced the NCAA in

women’s attendance for 11 straight years, 19 times overall and in 17 of the past 18 seasons. UT passed the fi ve-million mark in home

attendance on Jan. 5 vs. Ole Miss. The Big Orange women eclipsed the

nine-million mark in all-sites attendance on Feb. 16 vs. Kentucky.


tory in 1977. She had no trouble adjusting her enthusiasm and knowledge of the game into the coaching role. In 19 of the past 33 years Warlick has been affi liated with UT, she has found herself at the Final Four as a player (1977, 1979, 1980) or as a coach (1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008). Her best Final Four showing as a player was national championship runner-up in her senior season. As a coach, she has helped the Lady Vols win all eight times (1987, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2007 and 2008). A three-time All-American while playing for Summitt from 1976-80, Warlick previously held UT records for most assists in a game (14), most steals in a contest (nine), most assists in a season (225) and most games in a career (142). She continues to hold the Lady Vol single-season steals record with 141 in 1978-79. Warlick possesses vast international experience as well. A member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic basketball team, Warlick also participated in the Jones C up, Pan American Games and World Championship competition. In addition, she was a WPBL All-Star, leading the Nebraska Wranglers to the championship of the Women’s Professional Basket-ball League in 1981. She has served as a player representa-tive on the USA BASKETBALL council and was a member of the USOC Advisory Council for Basketball. In recognition of being a former Olympian, Warlick earned the distinct honor of running the Olympic torch through Knoxville as it made its way to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to joining the Tennessee staff for the 1985-86 season, Warlick gained experience at two other stops on the coaching circuit. She was an assistant at Virginia Tech from 1981-83 and an assistant from 1983-85 at Nebraska. A native of Knoxville, Warlick earned her B.S. in mar-keting from Tennessee in 1981 and her master’s degree in athletic administration from Virginia Tech in 1983. Warlick added “biker” to her vitae in 2001. To commemorate her induction into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, a number of Warlick’s friends got together and presented her with a Harley-Davidson “Sportster” motorcycle. Just six years later, Warlick already was using her love of the bike towards a greater cause, establishing the Champions For A Cause Foundation with Caldwell.

A YEAR-BY-YEAR LOOKAT WARLICK’S CAREER

HEAD COACH HOLLY WARLICK

THE WARLICK FILE

Born: June 11, 1958Education:

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

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

For more than three decades, Holly Warlick has been instrumental in the phenomenal success story that is Ten-nessee Lady Vols basketball. Her impact on the program stretches from her ground-breaking days as a three-time All-America point guard at UT (1976-80), to her 27 highly-productive years as a loyal assistant for Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt, to her ascension to the head coaching posi-tion at UT. Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart named Warlick head coach of the Lady Vols on April 18, 2012, as Summitt stepped into the role of head coach emeritus. In a touching and symbolic gesture the following day at a press conference announcing the changes, Sum-mitt presented her coaching whistle to her long-time aide and former fl oor general. Warlick proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was up to the task with her debut eff ort in 2012-13. Despite having a young, inexperienced team that was picked to fi nish as low as fi fth in the SEC and 20th nationally, the fi rst-year head coach impressively directed her troops to a 27-8 overall record and a 14-2 mark in league play. That ef-fort earned Tennessee its 17th all-time SEC regular season title, and it enabled a team that saw injuries force players to miss a combined total of 53 games to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the 26th time in school history. Improvement demonstrated by players not only translated into wins on the court, it also resulted in post-season attention. Meighan Simmons was named a third-team AP All-American, SEC Co-Player of the Year and fi rst-team All-SEC. Bashaara Graves was chosen a Full Court Freshman All-American, SEC Freshman of the Year and fi rst-team All-SEC. Kamiko Williams, meanwhile, was taken in the second round of the WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Warlick also was singled out for her performance, which included scoring a top-three recruiting class com-plete with the nation’s No. 1-ranked player in 6-foot-6 Mer-cedes Russell. The members of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named her the Spalding Maggie Dix-on Division I Rookie Coach of the Year. She was selected by AP and league coaches as the SEC Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, and members of the Tennessee Sports Writers Association also chose her as TSWA Women’s Bas-ketball Coach of the Year. In year two, Warlick directed the team to a 29-6 re-cord and the program’s second SEC trophy in as many years with the capturing of the 2014 SEC Tournament. Among her top players were AP SEC Player of the Year Meighan Simmons, who was a third-round WNBA Draft pick of the New York Liberty, and Isabelle Harrison, a fi rst-team All-SEC choice and the SEC tourney’s MVP. Warlick and her staff also continued building for the future, landing the nation’s number six signing class in 2014. Anchoring that group are McDonald’s All-Americans Jaime Nared and Alexa Middleton, the nation’s No. 6 and No. 28 ranked players. After Warlick helped shape the direction of Lady Vol basketball as an assistant on Summitt’s staff for more than a quarter of a century, the pupil took on greater responsi-bility and oversaw daily supervision of the basketball of-fi ce during the 2011-12 season. She also handled a large measure of the media obligations after Summitt’s Aug.

23, 2011, announcement regarding the diagnosis of early-onset dementia, “Alzheimer’s type.” Providing an excellent example of how people rally around each other, the Tennessee staff members pulled together remarkably in the face of that adversity. The end result was a 27-9 overall record, a league-best 16th SEC Tournament Championship and advancement to the NCAA Regional Final. It’s worth noting that Warlick was by Summitt’s side, either as a player or an assistant, for 949 of the coach’s NCAA-record 1,098 wins and all eight NCAA National Championships. Her value to the program has been evi-dent for some time, as she had held the role of associate head coach since the 2005-06 campaign. The WBCA also had recognized Warlick’s contribu-tions to Tennessee’s success through the years, naming Warlick the nation’s top assistant coach after she helped lead UT to its seventh national title in 2007. The NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches also recognized Warlick as one of the nation’s top assistants in 1998, rank-ing her prominently in The Women’s Basketball Journal poll. In addition to the NCAA title and coaching honor in 2007, Warlick also teamed up for the fi rst time with former fellow Lady Vol player and assistant Nikki Caldwell, the current head coach at LSU, to pursue her other passion. That pursuit is riding a motorcycle and raising money for the fi ght against breast cancer. Warlick and Caldwell created the Champions For A Cause Foundation, a long haul motorcycle ride dedicated to raising funds and awareness for a cure for breast cancer. The charitable organization has raised and donated more than $150,000. Past trips include the inaugural ride from San Francisco to Knoxville as well as trips from the Bad-lands to Las Vegas and from Knoxville to Key West, Fla., New Orleans, Niagara Falls and, most recently in 2013 and 2014, Panama City, Fla. With all of her accomplishments in coaching and in her charitable endeavors it might be easy to overlook the fact that Warlick left just as powerful a mark on women’s hoops as a player at UT. It doesn’t seem that long ago that the charismatic Knoxville native was fl ying up and down the court as an All-America Lady Vol point guard. For more than three decades, Warlick has been con-sidered the fi nest point guard ever to play for the Lady Vols. In addition to being selected to the CONVERSE/Lady Vol Team of the Decade for the 1980s in January of 1994, fi ve diff erent halls of fame opened their doors to her. On Feb. 27, 2004, she was inducted into the Tennes-see Sports Hall of Fame. In October 2002, she became a member of the University of Tennessee Lady Vol Hall of Fame in the second class of inductees. In June 2001, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selected Warlick as one of 10 inductees enshrined into the Hall for the Class of 2001. For the hometown girl, who grew up in the Rocky Hill section of Knoxville and graduated from Bearden High School, it was a dream-come-true. In the summer of 1994, Warlick gained admission to her fi rst hall of fame. She was honored as one of the City of Knoxville’s fi nest all-time athletes with her inclusion in the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame. Including the 2013-14 season, Warlick has invested 33 years in the program, having helped shape UT into a national powerhouse with tenure as both a player and a coach. Warlick’s expertise and major contributions to the team as an assistant came from her work with the guards. In 2010-11, Simmons was the SEC Rookie of the Year, and guard Shekinna Stricklen was the 20th Lady Vol named to the WBCA/State Farm All-America Team. Additionally, Warlick has been a highly-successful re-cruiter for the backcourt, attracting some of the nation’s fi nest players to UT to continue the excellence she helped establish as a player. The Lady Vols welcomed another top fl ight guard to the Orange and White for 2010-11 when she landed McDonald’s All-American Ariel Massengale. As a rookie in 2011-12, Massengale lived up to her billing, earning Full Court Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. The point guard posted a UT freshman record of 162 assists, ranking second in the SEC in that category, and leading the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.1. Warlick’s tutelage also helped to strengthen the game of four-time All-SEC selection Angie Bjorklund, Kodak All-American and four-time Lady Vol All-SEC performer Kara Lawson and three-time All-SEC selection Shanna Zolman. That trio accounts for the school records for most of UT’s three-point marks. Warlick’s association with the Lady Vols started in 1976 when she joined the program as a scholarship 400-meter track athlete who ended up walking on to the basketball team. Soon, she would become the most pro-lifi c player in the history of Tennessee Lady Vol basketball. Warlick was the fi rst player in Tennessee athletics (men or women) to have her jersey retired (number 22) at the end of her career in 1980. Bearden, her prep alma ma-ter in Knoxville, retired Warlick’s high school jersey (also No. 22) prior to a home football game on Oct. 26, 2012. Known as a play-making wiz during her four years as UT’s point guard, Warlick was once tabbed the “best player in the South.” As a rookie, Warlick helped lead the Lady Vols to their fi rst Final Four appearance in school his-
