The Lady Vols last win at LSU was in 2003. THE 4-1-1 ON THE LADY TIGERS In the final tune-up before facing Tennessee, #7-ranked LSU (23-4, 9-2 SEC) used a 24-0 run in the second half to pull away from Arkansas in an 86-65 win on Feb. 15 in Fayetteville. With the score tied 49-49 with 10:30 left in the contest, LSU shut down UA (18-9, 3-8 SEC) for the next five minutes and went on a 24-0 run to take a 73-49 lead, the largest of the game.

(John Ehret H.S.), is Tennessee s first player ever from the state of Louisiana. Marrero is located in southeastern Louisiana near New Orleans and is 73 miles from Baton Rouge (as the crow flies). CELEBRATING PRESIDENT S DAY Tennessee and Louisiana State square-off in Baton Rouge in a President s Day meeting on ESPN2. In the mid-1800 s, president s from the two states served a majority of time in the White House. The state of Tennessee supplied three of the nation s presidents (No. 7 Andrew Jackson, 1829-37; No. 11 James K. Polk, 1845-49 and No. 17 Andrew Johnson, 1865-69) while one served from the state of Louisiana (No. 12 Zachary Taylor, 1849-50). Since the mid-1800 s, neither the state of Tennessee nor the state of Louisiana has seen a president elected from their home state. Tennessee s Al Gore came close in the 2000 presidential race.

The two teams began the series at the 1977 Miss. Univ. for Women Xmas Tournament and have played every year since that time. The nine LSU wins have occurred in the following fashion: Win 1- in 1978, the Lady Tigers took a 72-62 win in Baton Rouge; Win 2-in 1979, LSU claimed an 85-80 OT win at home in a shortened, Dale Brown-inspired running clock overtime; Win 3-in 1991, LSU won the SEC Tourney with an 80-75 win over UT; Win 4-in the final 1997 regular season game in Baton Rouge, Sue Gunter grabbed her second win (ever) over UT with an 83-78 victory; Win 5-in 1999, the Lady Tigers upset #1 UT 72-69 in the final game of the regular season, Win 6- in 2002, unranked LSU bounces #3 UT out of the SECs, 81-80, win 7-LSU outlasts UT in the 2003 SEC Final, 78-62, win 8- In 2005, LSU beats UT in Baton Rouge, 68-58, in front of the largest women s crowd ever at the PMAC and wins the SEC regular season title, and win 9 LSU finally defeats the Lady Vols in Knoxville for the first time ever, 72-69. For quite a few years, Tennessee dominated the LSU Lady Tigers, winning 29 of 34 games between 1977 and 2002. But over the past few seasons, the LSU- Tennessee series has grown into the SEC's most anticipated match-up. The Lady Vols went 1-1 against LSU in 2004-05 and 2005-06 losing the regular season and winning the SEC Tournament title. LSU NOTEBOOK LSU is 23-4 overall and 9-2 in the SEC this season. Defeating Tennessee in Baton Rouge on Feb. 19 would keep the Lady Tigers chances alive for a piece of the SEC crown. LSU has lost four games this season with a countdown margin: 4-3-2-1. In order of defeat, Baylor won by 4 (64-60), Ole Miss won by 3 (77-74), Georgia won by 2 (53-51) and Connecticut by a point (72-71).

Little Rock, Ark. The Lady Vols (28-4) won their 12th SEC tournament title and second in a row. They beat a top-seeded LSU team in the 2005 finals as well, 67-65. During the 2005-06 regular season, LSU became the first SEC team to win at Tennessee in 10 years, edging the Lady Vols 72-69 on Feb. 9, 2006. In the first meeting, LSU superstar Seimone Augustus scored 32 points in the win. In the SEC finals, UT limited her to 24 points. The Lady Tigers (27-3) led 62-58 with less than a minute remaining, but UT senior Shanna Zolman's 3-pointer with 35.5 seconds to play cut Tennessee's deficit to one. LSU s Erica White missed the front end of a 1- and-1 with 33 seconds left, giving the Lady Vols a chance to take the lead. Tennessee chose not to call time out or hold for the last shot. Instead, the 6-4 Parker, the SEC freshman of the year, took the ball near the top of the key on an isolation play and drove to the left against the Tigers best defender - Scholanda Hoston to toss in the game winner. UT junior Sidney Spencer scored 21 points and Parker, the tournament's most valuable player, finished with 20 for the Lady Vols. Zolman added 14. Sylvia Fowles added 16 points, 12 rebounds and seven blocks for LSU. Fowles made her first four shots and had 12 points, six rebounds and six blocks in the first half. But Tennessee went on an 11-0 run late in the half and led 36-33 at the break. Spencer made all four of her 3-point attempts before the break. Fowles and Augustus combined to score LSU's first 16 points but went scoreless for the last 8:12 before halftime. LSU led 55-48 with 8:23 remaining, but Tennessee called time and went on a 10-0 run capped by Zolman's 3-pointer. Tennessee went 10-of-19 from 3- point range - Spencer made five and Zolman four. UT held a 40-31 rebounding advantage in the game and finished with a 122-80 advantage on the boards for the three-game weekend. FACING THE RANKED Tennessee faced their 11th ranked opponent of the 2006-07 season in the win over #9/14-ranked Georgia on Feb. 5. UT is 9-2 in games versus ranked teams out of 26 total contests. Meanwhile Louisiana State will be taking on their seventh ranked opponent in 28 games when they face #3 Tennessee. LSU is 3-3 vs. ranked teams: LSU defeated (then) #5 Ohio State75-51, #18 Michigan State,65-50, and #15 Georgia, 57-55. The Lady Tigers lost to #15 Baylor, 64-60, #14 Georgia, 53-51 and #5 Connecticut, 72-71. Tennessee will be the highest ranked team the Lady Tigers have played this season.
2006 REGULAR SEASON MEETING VERSUS LSU The LSU Lady Tigers became the first SEC team to win at Tennessee in nearly 10 years with a 72-69 victory Feb. 9, 2006 and moved closer to winning a second straight regular season league title. Seimone Augustus scored 32 points, Scholanda Hoston added 18 and Sylvia Fowles had 10 points and 15 rebounds for LSU (21-1, 9-0). The fifthranked Lady Vols (21-3, 7-2) had not lost a league game in Thompson-Boling Arena since a loss to Georgia on Dec. 8, 1996, a span of 64 games. LSU was 0-16 in Knoxville. "It's not a time for us to be feeling sorry for ourselves. We did a lot of good things, particularly in the second half. We have to get back tomorrow and keep things pointed in the right direction as a basketball team," commented Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt. Tennessee needed to beat LSU to get back into the conference race. The Lady Vols have lost two league games for the first time since 1996-97 when they were 8-4. The Lady Tigers became only the third SEC team and eighth team overall to win in Knoxville, joining Duke, Connecticut, Louisiana Tech, Georgia, Texas, Stanford and Auburn. It was Tennessee's 15th loss in the arena which opened in the 1987-88 season. The Lady Vols' first two losses this season came in consecutive games at Duke and at Kentucky. Against LSU, Lady Vol senior guard Shanna Zolman scored her 1,500th career point in the loss. LSU got off to a big lead early, going up 11-1 in the opening minutes. The Lady Tigers led by as many as 13 in the first half before taking a six point lead into the break. The Lady Vols were ahead 67-66 with 2:19 remaining, before Augustus gave LSU the lead for good. Hoston pushed it to 70-67 with another basket, and rookie sensation Candace Parker pulled Tennessee within one with 46.8 seconds to go. Fowles got open on the next possession and scored easily with 20 seconds left for the final margin. Tennessee's Dominique Redding had a shot blocked in the final seconds, and Parker fouled Augustus on the rebound. Augustus missed both free throws with 6.2 remaining to give the Lady Vols some hope. Zolman dribbled up the court and passed the ball as she was falling down to Redding, who couldn't get off a shot. Parker led the Lady Vols with 23 points. Tye'sha Fluker had 14 and Hornbuckle added 11. Zolman was just 2-for-11 from the field. LSU owned the rebounding margin, 41-36. HOW COACH POKEY FARED AS A PLAYER VS. TENNESSEE Everyone knows how feisty and intense LSU Coach Pokey Chatman is on the sidelines which begged the question how did she do as a player against the Lady Vols? Going into her final game against UT as a senior in 1991, then Dana Pokey Chatman was 0-4 against the Lady Vols during her LSU career. Chatman exacted her revenge in her final game against UT pouring in 30 points in the 1991 SEC Championship game as LSU won 80-75. Current Lady Vol assistant coach Nikki Caldwell was a rookie for UT on the 1991 team and went 0-6 from behind the arc in 20 minutes of action in the SEC title game. Caldwell would enjoy the final gotcha of the 1991 campaign the rookie went on to help Tennessee win the 1991 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans, La., just 15 miles from Chatman s hometown of Ama, La. LSU SERIES TIDBITS Since 2000, UT has won 10 of the last 14 meetings with LSU. Tennessee s four losses during that time? In the 2005 regular season meeting in Baton Rouge, 68-58, the 2006 regular season meeting in Knoxville, 72-69, and twice in the SEC Tournament Mar. 2, 2002, LSU 81-80 and Mar. 9, 2003, LSU 78-62. LATELY, KEEP RUNNING INTO LSU IN THE POSTSEASON Since 2002, Tennessee and LSU have faced each other every year in post-season action. In 2002 and 2003, a lower ranked LSU team defeated the Lady Vols in the SEC Tournament. UT was ranked #3 in 2002 when an unranked LSU team upset the Lady Vols, 81-80. In 2003, UT was once again ranked #3 when #6-ranked LSU won convincingly, 78-62. UT and LSU dodged each other in the 2004 SEC Tournament but met in the Final Four semifinals in Atlanta. The #2-ranked Lady Vols defeated the #19-ranked Lady Tigers, 52-50. Tennessee has won the last two SEC Tournament title meetings with LSU. In 2005, #5-ranked Tennessee upset #1 LSU, 67-65. In 2006, #8-ranked UT s Candace Parker hit the game winner over #3-ranked LSU, 63-62. UT-LSU, CLOSENESS COUNTS Twenty-five of the 43 all-time meetings between the two schools have been decided by 10 or less points. There is no other team to record that stat against the Lady Vols in as many meetings. HOW BOUT THIS? Going into tonight s game, UT and LSU have met 27 times while both teams are ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. Tennessee has been the higher ranked team 21 times. UT S FIRST HOME GAME WITH 10,000 IN THE STANDS WAS VS. LSU On a bitter cold night on Feb. 6, 1978, 10,000 fans braved the frigid weather to heat-up Stokely Athletics Center in Knoxville, Tenn., when #1 LSU and #3 Tennessee faced off in an SEC women s basketball game. The Lady Vols prevailed 86-68 as the throng of 10,000 chanted We re Number One. It marked the first time that 10,000 fans had ever attended a Lady Vol game. STUFF THE RIVALRY IS MADE OF On Jan. 29, 1979, the Tennessee Vols and the Lady Vols were in Baton Rouge at the PMAC, for a double-header with LSU. The women played first and the game ended in a 74-74 tie. Then-LSU men s coach Dale Brown suggested that the women s teams finish their overtime in the auxiliary gym so the men could get their game started on time. After much bantering back and forth with then-lsu BenGals skipper Jinks Coleman and UT s Pat Head, Brown allowed the women s teams to finish the overtime with a shortened running clock. The Lady Vols managed just six points in the three-minute overtime while LSU scored 11 to win, 85-80. Five days later in Stokely Athletics Center in Knoxville, on Jan. 29, #7 UT thumped #17 LSU, 92-48. Current Lady Vol Assistant Coach Holly Warlick was UT s junior point guard that night in Baton Rouge Warlick tallied seven points, grabbed eight rebounds, dished four assists and had nine steals in a weird 43 minutes. I M AN LSU GRAD BUT MY PAYCHECK HAS ORANGE INK UT Women s Athletics Director Joan Cowart Cronan was a 1966 graduate of Louisiana State University and a native of Opelousas, La. Cronan has been onboard as the Women s Athletics Director at the University of Tennessee since 1983 and was a 1995 inductee into the LSU s Alumni Hall of Distinction. UPCOMING OPPONENT ARKANSAS Before entertaining the Lady Vols in Fayetteville on Feb. 22, the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks traveled to face the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington on Feb. 18. In their last contest, rookie Donica Cosby scored 15 points to lead Arkansas but the double-digit effort was not enough as the Lady Backs fell to the #7-ranked LSU Tigers at Bud Walton Arena on Feb. 15, 86-65. The loss dropped the Lady Razorbacks to 18-9 on the year and 3-8 in SEC action while LSU improved to 23-4 overall and 9-2 in league play. Arkansas enjoyed as much as a five point lead in the opening stanza controlling the tempo and the cold-shooting Tigers managed just 27 percent from the floor in the first 10 minutes of play. UA led 17-12 at the 11:22 mark. LSU rallied and scored the final four points of the half to take a 32-28 lead into the break. The score was knotted at 44-all with 11:50 to go before LSU went on a 24-0 run. That was the ballgame as Arkansas could never get back on track. Besides Cosby s 15 points, the Lady Backs placed two others in double figures. Rookie post Lauren Ervin scored 11 and Sarah Pfeifer, 10 in the loss. LSU s Sylvia Fowles hit a game high 23 points and grabbed 20 rebounds for the Tigers.

The Lady Vols maintain a winning record against every team in the SEC. UT IS AMAZING AT HOME VERSUS THE SEC Since Tennessee began contesting games with Southeastern Conference opponents, the Lady Vols have produced a 156-11 record in all games played at home. Only six SEC teams have ever managed a victory over the Lady Vols in Knoxville Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU and Ole Miss. Georgia has won three games on UT s turf while Auburn, Kentucky and Ole Miss have registered two wins each and LSU and Florida one win. Georgia was the only team to defeat UT at home in the 1990s the Lady Bulldogs turned the trick in 1991 and 1996. LSU and Florida are the only SEC teams to defeat UT at home in the 21st century. WOW--14 SEASONS OF AT LEAST 10 SEC VICTORIES In the win over Kentucky on Feb. 11, 2007, Tennessee claimed its 10th SEC victory of the 2006-07 season. The Lady Vols have now registered double-digit victories in conference play an incredible 14 times. Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play expanded, 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 and 2007-11 wins (3 to go). SPOILED, I TELL YOU Prior to last season, it had been nine years since the Lady Vols dropped three SEC league games during a season. In the 1996-97 HBO documentary campaign of The Cinderella Season: The Lady Vols Fight Back, Tennessee went 8-4 in the SEC. All-time in 25 years of league play, Tennessee has lost two or more SEC games just seven times. Conversely, the Lady Vols have tallied seven perfect league campaigns in SEC play. SEC LEAGUE PLAY UT owns a league best record of 250-33 against all SEC teams dating back to the 1982-83 season. THIS IS 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.

The first Associated Press poll released of the 2005-06 season marked the 500th all-time poll. Since the poll was started in 1976, UT has failed to appear in just 14 of the total of 532 polls through the years. Currently, UT has been ranked in 390 consecutive polls. Since the 1986-87 season, the Lady Vols have been in the top 10 for all but one poll. UT is the only team to have been ranked every year for the last 31 years of the poll. UT has appeared at least once per season over the poll's history. WARLICK SELECTED AS SEC GREAT FOR 2007 Featuring former outstanding studentathletes and administrators from all 12 Southeastern Conference member institutions, the 2007 class of the SEC Greats program will be honored at the SEC Women s Basketball Tournament March 1-4 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.

FROM THE TRAINING ROOM Tennessee finished the game with Ole Miss on Feb. 15 with just eight players. Rookie point guard Cait McMahan left the game after taking a hard fall on her left elbow and sophomore forward Alex Fuller went to the bench after she took a shot to her previously injured right eye. Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine, Jenny Moshak, announced Fri. Feb. 16 Fuller will practice and play as her right eye allows. Fuller took stitches to the area of the eye on Jan. 25 versus Vanderbilt. X-rays determined that McMahan had not sustained a fracture and a MRI revealed no structural damage to her left elbow. Moshak will treat McMahan s elbow symptomatically on a day-to-day basis. UT S CIRCUS ACT GOING TO LSU The Tennessee Lady Vols continues to have the circus coming to town effect on away attendance. Remarkably, all 15 away games have produced some kind of attendance mark. Tennessee s appearance produced the largest attendance mark of the season (all venues) for Arizona State, Louisiana Tech, Old Dominion, Connecticut; the largest mark at home for North Carolina (tie), Texas, Florida, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and the largest home and away crowds for both Alabama and Georgia. SCORING FIELD DAY FOR SEC FOES In UT s first eight SEC games of the season, no Lady Vol opponent had scored more than 58 points on Tennessee. Actually, winless Florida managed 58 points against Tennessee in the second conference game of the season on Jan. 11. In the initial eight games SEC foes scored 36 points (Alabama1 and South Carolina), 41 points (Georgia1), 44 points (Mississippi St.), 51 points (Alabama2), 57 points (Vanderbilt1 and Georgia2) and 58 by Florida. In games one-eight, UT averaged 71.1 ppg while giving up just 47.5 ppg in SEC games (+23.6 winning margin). In the last three games, SEC opponents have averaged 64.3 ppg. Auburn started the floodgate on Feb. 8 scoring 62 points, Kentucky followed in the next game with 62 points and Ole Miss tallied 69 points in the most recent contest to be the SEC leader in the clubhouse against UT. During the same time, UT has increased its scoring average to 79.0 ppg for a 14.7 ppg winning margin. ONLY FOUR IN THE 70 S Only four teams have managed to score 70 points (or more) against Tennessee this season. Arizona State and Duke both scored a season high 74 points against the Lady Vols. Chattanooga scored 72 points and North Carolina tallied 70 against Tennessee. FYI ON PARKER Just to clear things up Redshirt sophomore All-American Candace Parker is on track to graduate with honors from Tennessee in December 2007 during her junior season. Since Parker sat out her original rookie year, she could choose to play for Tennessee in the 2008-09 season while working on her masters or she has the option of playing in the WNBA since her original class would have graduated. LEX HAS NATION S BEST STREAK Lady Vol junior guard Alexis Hornbuckle has a streak of 62 consecutive games with at least one steal. A leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year, Hornbuckle averages 3.3 steals per game. She started the 2006-07 season with a career high seven steals against Chattanooga. Hornbuckle has 85 steals on the season to date and will easily surpass her 2005-06 total of 91 thefts. WENT OVER 200,000 AT HOME Tennessee broke the 200,000 home attendance mark for the 10th time in the game against Ole Miss on Feb.15. A nation leading 210,594 have clicked thru the turnstiles in 15 home games. The Lady Vols home attendance eclipsed 180K against Georgia with 13,475 in the stands. This already marks the Lady Vols 11th consecutive season going over 150,000 at home. VANDY TIX GOING FAST Tennessee s final home game of the 2006-07 season against Vanderbilt on Feb. 25, may become a sell-out. To date, 20,210 tickets have been sold for Senior Day. Gates for the 1:00 p.m. tip-off will open 30 minutes earlier at 11:30 a.m.
UT OUTLASTS FIESTY OLE MISS On Feb. 15, the Tennessee Lady Vols quickly saw why Ole Miss was able to defeat both LSU and Vanderbilt. The Rebs were just plain aggravating on defense playing gnat-like and covering every inch of the floor. Offensively, Mississippi scored 69 points on the Lady Vols the most of any SEC team to date. UT s five-point halftime lead over Ole Miss was UT s smallest margin over an SEC opponent this season. The victory marked the 24-win plateau for the 27th time in Pat Summitt s career and the 21st time in a row. The win also gave UT at least 11 SEC wins in a season for the 12th time. Individually, Candace Parker scored her 1,100th career point scored in double figures for the 24th time this season and the 57th time of her career...scored 20+ points for the 12th time this season and the 23rd time in her career earned a double-double for the 14th time this season and the 24th time in her career and recorded a career-high-tying seven assists; Shannon Bobbitt Scored in double figures for the seventh time this season and the second game in a row set a career high with 14 field-goal attempts; Alexis Hornbuckle extended her streak of games with a steal to 62 -- she now has at least one steal in 83 of 90 career games moved past Pat Hatmaker and into 15th place in the UT record books for career assists (332) reached double figures for the 13th time this season and the 45th time of her career and scored all 12 of her points in the second half. PARKER S A FOUL MAGNET Lady Vol sophomore All-American Candace Parker has been a foul magnet in 2006-07. With all of the double and triple-teaming she has seen this season, almost one-third of the opponent s 477 total fouls have been inflicted on her. In 25 games this season, Parker has drawn 149 fouls. In the game against Vanderbilt, she was fouled a dozen times by the Commodores (out of 22 total team fouls). Previously against Notre Dame, she was fouled 10 times by the Irish, eclipsing nine fouls whistled against players from Arizona State, Stanford and North Carolina. To date, Parker has visited the charity stripe 166 times this season about six times a game. Against UConn, seven of the Huskies total of 13 fouls came while trying to stop Parker. SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK This week, Lady Vol All-American Candace Parker was selected as the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week (Feb. 5-11). She earned the award for the fourth time this season and the fifth time in her career. In three games last week, Parker averaged 26.0 points and 10.3 rebounds per contest. She shot a sizzling 62 percent from the field and went 22 of 25 from the line for an 88 percent clip. The Naperville, Ill., native earned double-doubles against Georgia and Auburn to up her total to 13 on the season. On Feb. 8 versus Auburn, she eclipsed the 500-rebound plateau to join former Lady Vol four-time Kodak All-Americans Chamique Holdsclaw and Tamika Catchings as the only three UT players to amass 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks. She dropped in 31 points against the Kentucky Wildcats it was her second most of the season and marked the third most prolific scoring game of her career. She owns four 30+ points games. Parker was also named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV first team during the week, which makes her eligible for Academic All-America later in the season. KEEP THE SEC MAGIC GOING In 11 SEC games this season, the Tennessee Lady Vols have forced their conference foes into 25.7 turnovers per outing It has resulted in a total of 287 points scored off of turnovers for the Lady Vols against SEC teams or an average of 26.0 ppg. So for every turnover an SEC team has committed against UT, the Lady Vols have scored a point. UNDEFEATED SEC SEASONS All-time, Tennessee has turned in seven undefeated league seasons in SEC play. The 2003-04 team was the last to run the SEC table with a 14-0 record. 10 CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF AT LEAST 10 SEC WINS With the win over Kentucky on Feb. 11, 2007, it marked the 10th SEC win of the season and was the 10th consecutive year of at least 10 SEC victories and 14th overall. The Lady Vols have registered double-digit victories in conference play an incredible 14 times. Since the 1991-92 season when SEC play expanded, 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 and 2007-11 wins with three games to go. GOTTA BRING UP THE BOARDS Or, lack thereof. The Lady Vols have been outrebounded in 11 games this season. When Kentucky pulled off the +16 rebounding advantage (40-24) on Feb. 11, 2007, it was a season worst for UT. Granted, Tennessee shot 53.2 percent for the game but it was a huge disparity as the Wildcats grabbed 16 offensive and 24 defensive caroms. Until that game, the Lady Vols had been on a four-game streak of outrebounding the opposition. Only two other teams produced a double-digit differential on the boards this season against UT North Carolina and UT-Chattanooga (+10). The Lady Vols shot 36% against UNC and 58% against UTC. FACING THE UNRANKED When taking on an unranked opponent such as Mississippi, the odds have typically tipped in Tennessee s favor. In her 33 years at the helm of the Lady Vols, UT head coach Pat Summitt has fashioned a 559-32 (.947) record when going up against unranked teams. TENNESSEE ALLOWING JUST 52.1 PPG IN SEC GAMES The Tennessee Lady Vols have fashioned some pretty serious stats in SEC play this season. Defensively, the Lady Vols have been stingy very stingy. Incredibly, when Auburn and Kentucky scored 62 points and Ole Miss 69 points against Tennessee in the Lady Vols three most recent games, it marked the most points UT has allowed by an SEC opponent this season. Currently, Tennessee is holding SEC opponents to just 52.1 ppg while scoring 73.3 or a +21.2 differential. TAMED THE WILDCATS After enduring the miserable loss at Kentucky last season, Tennessee took care of business on Feb. 11, 2007 with an 84-62 drubbing of UK. Kentucky, however, completely controlled the glass and registered a +16 advantage over Tennessee on the boards (40-24). The win gives the Lady Vols 10 or more SEC wins for the 10th consecutive season and 14th overall. The 1987 Lady Vol National Championship team was honored before tip-off of the Kentucky game. The ceremonies marked the 20th anniversary of UT s first NCAA basketball title in 1987. All 14 of the former players were in attendance. Interesting in game note-- With her second free throw at the 1:40 mark in the first half, Candace Parker scored her 22nd point of the game, one more than Kentucky team had at that point in the game (21 points). UT s first half field goal percentage (.576) was its highest since shooting 63.6 percent against MTSU on Nov. 26, 2006. Kentucky s 62 points tie the most by an SEC opponent this season (with Auburn). Individually, Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 61. She now has at least one steal in 82 of 89 career games. Hornbuckle moved past Michelle Marciniak and into ninth place in the UT record books for career thefts (240). UT s best rebounding guard didn t get a rebound against the Wildcats, marking the first no-rebound game of her career. Her previous low was one board, which she has grabbed twice in her career; Sidney Spencer Moved past Tamika Catchings and into seventh place in the UT record books for career three-pointers (123). Spencer moved into a tie with Tasha Butts for eighth place in the UT record books for career three-point attempts (290); Candace Parker Scored in double figures for the 23rd time this season and the 56th time in her career. She surpassed 20 points for the 11th time this season and the 22nd time in her career. Produced the second highest scoring game of her career and reached 30 points in a game for the third time this season and the fourth time of her career and Shannon Bobbitt moved into fifth place in the UT record books for career three-point percentage (.410)

A total of 57 former players and more than 150 family members were in attendance for Tennessee game versus Kentucky. On Sun., Feb. 11, the Lady Vols celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first NCAA Championship team the 1987 squad. All 14 members of the team were in attendance and were honored in pregame ceremonies of the UT-Kentucky game. They were dubbed The Corn- Fed Chicks by Long Beach State All- American Cindy Brown after the Lady Vols handled her team in the NCAA Final Four semis, 74-64. The Chicks, er Lady Vols, went on to defeat Louisiana Tech, 67-44, in the NCAA title game in Austin, Texas. Coach Pat Summitt won her first national title in her eighth trip to the Final Four and in her 13th season of coaching. Remarkably, the 1987 team led Summitt to her 300th coaching victory. LADY VOLS EARN ACADEMIC KUDOS The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced on Feb. 8, 2007, that Lady Vols Candace Parker, Sidney Spencer and Nicky Anosike had been named to the CoSIDA District IV All- Academic Teams. Parker and Anosike were named to the first team, while Spencer picked up second team honors. Spencer and Anosike earned the award for the second straight year, while this was Parker s first opportunity. Parker earned a 3.65 GPA during the fall semester and boasts a 3.29 cumulative average. The 2006 Kodak All-American and sport management major leads the SEC in scoring and blocks. On Jan. 28 she became the fastest Lady Vol in program history to amass 1,000 career points. Spencer posted a perfect 4.0 in the fall and owns a 3.75 cumulative GPA. She is pursuing a degree in sport management and makes time to volunteer in the Knoxville community on a weekly basis. She ranks fourth in the NCAA in threepoint shooting percentage. Anosike is on pace to graduate in four years with a triple major in sociology and criminal justice, political science, and legal studies. She has a 3.76 cumulative GPA at UT, including a 4.0 mark during the 2006 fall term. She ranks second on this year s squad in rebounding and blocks and is a two-time member of the All-SEC Academic Team. The Academic All-America team will be announced on Feb. 27 and is selected from the All-District first teams in each of the eight districts. PARKER ECLIPSED 500 BOARDS Less than two weeks after scoring her 1,000th career point, sophomore All- American Candace Parker eclipsed the 500 rebound plateau versus Auburn. Grabbing 11 boards against the Tigers. DOUBLED-UP ALABAMA AND GEORGIA IN SEC PLAY The Lady Vols have picked up two wins over Alabama and Georgia this season. Tennessee has already picked up one win over Vanderbilt and will face the Commodores again on Feb. 25. WHEATIES HONORS LADY VOLS Wheaties unveiled its newest Breakfast of Champions box on Feb. 1, 2007, at halftime of the Tennessee-South Carolina game. The special-edition, 18- ounce Wheaties package, features the UT women s basketball program and coach Pat Summitt. The Tennessee package features an image of Thompson-Boling Arena, The Summitt, a prominent school logo and Coach Summitt on the front of the package. The back of the package showcases an image of Summitt as well as the school mascot. It is a great honor to be the first women s collegiate basketball coach to be featured on the front of a Wheaties box, said Summitt. This makes a tremendous statement, not only for me, the Lady Vols and the University of Tennessee, but for women s basketball in general. The Tennessee women s basketball team has left a distinctive mark in the world of college basketball by showcasing unparalleled performance, a competitive drive, a sense of pride, and dedication over the years, said Dan Stangler, Wheaties brand manager. Launched in 1924, Wheaties is the No. 1 whole-grain wheat flaked breakfast cereal in the country. PARKER -- FASTEST TO 1,000 In Tennessee s game versus Alabama on Jan. 28, 2007, Lady Vol sophomore All-American Candace Parker scored her 1,000th career point during the 56th game of her career, making her the fastest Lady Vol in history to amass 1,000 points. Former Lady Vol All- Americans Chamique Holdsclaw did it in 57 games and Tamika Catchings in 58 games. Parker is the 30th 1,000-point scorer at Tennessee.
STILL WORST REBOUNDERS UT Coach Pat Summitt s teams have always been noted for tough defense and board play. Kudos to the 2006-07 team for tough defensive play thus far holding the opposition to 56.2 ppg. However, the current squad needs to hang their collective heads in shame for being the worst rebounding team in Lady Vol history. Currently at 37.4 rebounds per game, this team has dipped below the 2005-06 squad who earned the worst moniker last season managing just 39.4 rpg in 36 games breaking a 28-year old record (1977-78 squad who managed just 39.7 rpg in 31 contests). SURPRISE! UT IS #1 IN SOS/RPI I know it is a huge surprise but the Tennessee Lady Vols hold a large percentile advantage in both the Ratings Percentage Index and the Strength of Schedule through 26 games.

Parker, with six career dunks, ranks ahead of former Lady Vol Michelle Snow (1998-2002) who recorded three dunks during her career at Tennessee.

She probably would have stayed with just one line-up (Candace Parker, Sidney Spencer, Nicky Anosike, Alexis Hornbuckle and Shannon Bobbitt) if junior college transfer Bobbitt hadn t missed the game at Louisiana Tech on Nov. 28 to take a test and Parker hadn t fallen ill prior to the Mississippi State game on Jan. 18. Rookie Cait McMahan started in place of Bobbitt for the La Tech game while Parker was replaced by Alex Fuller for the Miss. State contest. Using essentially one line-up is a far cry from previous seasons. Last year, Summitt employed seven different combinations with Candace Parker as the only common denominator in 36 games. In 2004-05, Summitt utilized 10 different looks with no player starting all 35 games. UT s line-up saw four different looks in 2003-04 with Shyra Ely and Ashley Robinson starting 35 games. In 2002-03, three starting line-ups were used as Gwen Jackson, Kara Lawson and Loree Moore were constants in the 38 game schedule. LADY VOL STREAKS The last time the Lady Vols lost at home was against Duke, 74-70, on Jan. 22, 2007, -- since then, UT has won four home games. The last time UT lost on the road was on Dec. 3, 2006 at UNC, since then, UT is 8-0 on the road. The last time the Lady Vols lost on a neutral court was against North Carolina, 75-63, in the NCAA Elite 8 game on Mar. 28, 2006. Since that time, UT has not played on a neutral court. OVER 500 GAMES VS. RANKED Tennessee s game versus #13 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 378-147 (.700) versus ranked teams. This season, UT is 9-2 in ranked meetings. Last year, Tennessee was 13-3 versus ranked teams. DOING BETTER IN THE SEC SLATE THIS SEASON The Tennessee Lady Vols hope to turn in a better showing in the Southeastern Conference regular season slate in 2006-07. Currently, the Lady Vols lead the league with a 11-0 record. Last season, UT lost an uncharacteristic three games in the SEC at Kentucky (66-63), at home to LSU (72-69) and Florida (95-93 OT). Eight points separated UT from a perfect 14-0 mark to a nine-season low 11-3 SEC record. In fact, from the 1997-98 season until the 2004-05 campaign, Tennessee lost a total of four SEC games in the regular season.

SUMMITT GETS 937TH WIN While Texas Tech s Bobby Knight finally reached 880 wins on the men s side, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt recorded her 937th victory with a 84-62 win over Kentucky on Feb. 11 2007. Summitt recorded her 880th win, passing North Carolina s Dean Smith on Mar. 22, 2005 with a 75-54 victory over Purdue in the NCAA Tournament. Summitt has registered 57 wins since then. Summitt is a season and a half of wins ahead of Coach Knight. TENNESSEE TOPS AP ALL-TIME The Tennessee Lady Vols are the topranked team in the history of the Top 25 rankings in the Associated Press poll. The poll, now in its 31st season, has found Pat Summitt s Tennessee Lady Vols ranked in 518 of a possible 532 polls. Through the poll released on Feb. 12, the top five team poll rankings are:
1. PAT SUMMITT, TENNESSEE 518 (missed just 14 polls in entire AP history) 2. Andy Landers, Georgia 410 3. Jody Conradt, Texas 396 4. C.Vivian Stringer (Cheyney, Iowa, Rutgers) 350 5. Rene Portland (St. Joseph, Penn St.) 336 THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA WELCOME TO THE SUMMITT The playing court in the Thompson- Boling Arena on the University of Tennessee campus donned a new look for the 2005-06 season. After Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt passed Dean Smith for most NCAA collegiate basketball wins of all-time with a 75-54 win over Purdue on Mar. 22, 2005, UT named the TBA court, The Summitt. The floor 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 TENNESSEE was given a new brighter color scheme, and The Summitt, Coach Summitt s actual signature adorns the sidelines opposite the team benches. ON OUR WAY TO 300 WINS Tennessee recorded its 200 th win in Thompson-Boling Arena when the Lady Vols defeated the University of Southern California on Nov. 18, 2001, 106-66. UT has now amassed a 279-17 (.943) record since the Orange and White moved into the Thompson-Boling Arena to start the 1987-88 season 19-years ago. Along the way, the Lady Vols have produced nine flawless 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 registered an NCAA record 69-game home court-winning streak from Feb. 1, 1991 thru Jan. 2, 1996. JUST 17 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 six times. UT lost two games in TBA during the inaugural 1987-88 campaign, 1996-97, 1999-00, 2001-02, 2003-04 and the 2005-06 seasons. The 17 all-time losses at Thompson-Boling Arena have come at the hands of just nine teams: Florida (2006), LSU (2006), Duke (2004 and 2007), Connecticut (2004, 2002, 2000, 1996), Louisiana Tech (1999, 1989), Georgia (1996, 1991), Texas (2003, 2002, 1987), Stanford (1996) and Auburn (1988). HOME SWEET HOME - 400 th 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 33 years producing a 430-41 overall record. Home losses (in the Summitt era) include: six in Alumni Gym from 1974-76; 18 in Stokely Athletics Center from 1976-87; and 17 in Thompson-Boling Arena since 1987. LAST LOSS TO AN UNRANKED TEAM? Florida became the second unranked team in the 2005-06 season to knock off the Lady Vols, when they won 95-93 OT on Feb. 26, 2006. Exactly one month earlier, unranked Kentucky turned the trick with a 66-63 win over #1/3-ranked Tennessee on Jan. 26, 2006 at Rupp Arena. Previously, it had been four years since an unranked team upset the Lady Vols. So before Florida and Kentucky had their way with UT, when was the last time Tennessee lost to an unranked team? That would have been to LSU on Mar. 2, 2002 at the SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn. LSU had been in and out of the Top 25 polls in late January and February. Prior to that, UT s last loss to an unranked team was five years previous (to the day) losing to Auburn on Mar. 2, 1997 at the SEC Tournament. 100 POINT GAMES Since 1974, the Lady Vols have gone over the century mark 72 times. Last season, UT eclipsed 100 points in two games Princeton, 107 and #16/18 Texas, 102. The 1987-88 team hit triple digits in seven games to lead the NCAA. IN OVERTIME The Lady Vols are 24-13 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 losing to Georgia, 68-66, and defeating Auburn, 68-61, DePaul, 96-89, and Stanford, 70-66. It tied the mark set in 1996-97, when the Lady Vols were 3-1 in overtime contests losing to Georgia, 94-93, and defeating Texas, 68-65, Vanderbilt, 92-79 and LSU, 100-99. UT s 22 points in the OT against Florida (2-3-05), was the most ever scored by the Lady Vols in a single overtime. UT s most recent OT affair was a 95-93 loss to Florida on 2-26-06. GAME NOTES ALMANAC TIGERS TOUGH ON THE TAKE DOWN With the win over Auburn, it marked the 10th season in a row that UT has claimed nine or more SEC wins. Tennessee now has a 15-game winning streak over Auburn. Auburn, to date, scored the most points on UT in a 2007 SEC game putting 62 points on the scoreboard. No other SEC team had scored in the 60 s versus UT. Alabama native and senior Sidney Spencer may have been a little nervous against Auburn -- it marked the first time her 89-year old grandfather had watched her play in person. Sid s parents, Steve and Janice, have attended every game during their daughter s senior season. Fellow senior Dominique Redding saw her first action in an SEC contest since the South Carolina game. Individually, Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 60. She now has at least one steal in 81 of 88 career games; Candace Parker Eclipsed the 500- rebound plateau making her the 34th Lady Vol in program history to do so Earned her 13th double-double of the season and the 23rd of her career and tied a season high with nine free throw; Nicky Anosike Scored in double digits for the fifth time this season and the 19th time of her career and Shannon Bobbitt Dished out a career SEC high four assists UT STOPS GEORGIA AGAIN For the second time this season, Tennessee stopped the Georgia Lady Bulldogs. The Lady Vols defense in the second meeting was extremely intense with junior Alexis Hornbuckle leading the way. In two games against UT this season, Georgia averaged just 49.0 ppg. Individually, Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 59. She now has at least one steal in 80 of 87 career games. Against UGA2, she scored in double figures for the 11th time this season and the 43rd time in her career. With seven assists in the game, she moved into a tie for 16th place in the Lady Vol record books for career thefts (320); Candace Parker Scored in double figures for the 21st time this season and the 54th time of her career. Also, she earned her 12th doubledouble of the season and the 22nd of her career moving her into a tie for sixth place in the UT record books for career double-doubles and reserve Alex Fuller Scored in double figures for the sixth time this season MOATS ON MEDICAL STATUS University of Tennessee Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt has announced that freshman Nicci Moats will remain on medical leave from the team for the remainder of the season. Nicci is a great young lady, and we re all very supportive of this decision, said Summitt. We re looking forward to having her back on the court next fall. Moats is a 6-2 rookie forward from Daleville, Va. After talking with the medical staff, I decided to take a leave from playing with the team for the remainder of the season so my focus can be on getting healthy and concentrating on my academics, said Moats. NOTCHED 20 VICTORIES The Tennessee Lady Vols notched yet another 20-win season with the victory over South Carolina on Feb. 1, 2007. It marked the 31st consecutive time a Lady Vol team has reached at least 20 wins in a season under Coach Pat Summitt. When the Lady Vols picked up win #20 against South Carolina on Feb. 1, it marked the third fastest Summitt team to attain at least 20 wins. The 20 win seasons on the date they were achieved: 20TH WIN DATE RECORD FINAL Jan.20, 1998 20-0 39-0 Jan.27, 2001 20-1 31-3 Feb. 1, 2007 20-2 ------ Feb. 1, 1995 20-1 34-3 Feb. 2, 2006 20-2 31-5 Feb. 4, 1999 20-1 31-3 Feb. 5, 1994 20-1 31-2

Tennessee s Pat Summitt has only had two teams fail to reach 20-win seasons during her 33-year tenure In her first and second seasons (1974-75 and 1975-76) at UT, the Lady Vols were 16-8 and 16-11, respectively. Summitt s record of 20-win seasons is unmatched in collegiate basketball. FAST START AGAINST USC In picking up win number 20 on the season, the Tennessee Lady Vols got off to a fast start against South Carolina. The opening minutes were reminiscent of Duke s crushing start against UT on Jan. 22. Fortunately for the Lady Vols, UT was making the run on the Gamecocks opening the game 16-0 in the first 9:22. South Carolina did not score until 10:12 was left in the first half on a layup by Melanie Johnson.

SMOKEY TOOK A BITE OUT OF THE GEORGIA LADY DAWGS If you had been watching the sports ticker on Sunday, Jan. 14 and saw the Tennessee 52, Georgia 41 score roll by, your first thought might have been, it s halftime. Not so. Tennessee s 52-point tally for the game tied the fifth fewest points in UT history. The Lady Vols 25 first half points tied the fewest by UT this season (UT scored just 25 points at North Carolina). Defensively, Georgia s 41 points were the fewest scored by a Lady Bulldog team since 1974.

Tennessee jumped out to a 25-0 lead before Florida scored with 12:20 left on the clock in the first half. It was the second longest opening drought by a UT opponent this season. Tennessee Martin did not score until the clock read 11:44 and Tennessee had an 18-0 lead. In the bad news department, the 41.7 percent from the foul line was UT s worst mark this season as UT was a dismal 5-12 from the charity stripe. Individually there were some real bright spots: Sidney Spencer scored in double figures for the 12th time this season, the 39th time of her career; tallied a careerhigh-tying 21 points; made four of her first five three-point attempts finished the game 5-of-7 from beyond the arc; her five treys tied a career high and tied for the ninth-most in a game by a Lady Vol; Alexis Hornbuckle extended her streak of games with a steal to 52 Earned season and SEC career highs in rebounds (9) and assists (10) Moved into 20th place in the UT record books for career assists (290) Moved past Mary Ostrowski and into 14th place in the UT record books for career steals (209) Earned her first career double-double in assists (10) and points (10); Candace Parker Scored in double figures for the 30th straight game Cait McMahan Tied a career-high with seven points and Alex Fuller Eight rebounds matched her career-best.

The diminutive New Yorker averaged 11.8 ppg, 44% FG, 60% three-pointers, 100% from the free throw line in contests against Old Dominion, Notre Dame, Alabama and #5- ranked Connecticut. Against the Irish, Bobbitt connected for a career high 17 points. In the win over UConn, Bobbitt drilled three treys in the opening stanza. 375TH WIN OVER A RANKED TEAM IN GAME VS.

WVU After a dismal shooting display against Texas in the previous game, Tennessee came out against West Virginia hitting on all cylinders.

Fittingly, Parker celebrated Wells dunking anniversary with one of her own against West Virginia on Dec. 20, 2006, in Knoxville. Parker, the All- American sophomore took off after a steal and jammed a one-handed dunk with 12:54 to go in the first half.

Martin s 13 first half points tie for the seventh fewest by a UT opponent in and their 16 second half points tie for the eighth fewest by a UT opponent in history. Overall, UTM s 29 total points tie for the fourth fewest by a UT opponent. For the first time this season, all 11 Lady Vols scored. Best of all, Tennessee had its lowest turnover total (9) of the season. Individually, Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 44. She has made a steal in 65 of 72 career games; Candace Parker Reached double figures for the 22nd consecutive time, the 41st time in her career. She also recorded a doubledouble for the second straight game, the third time this season and the 13th time of her career. Remained perfect from the three-point line this season; Alex Fuller Scored a career-high 14 points; Sidney Spencer Reached double figures for the seventh time this season, the 34th time of her career; Nicci Moats Scored her first career field goal and had a career-high three points, former manager Elizabeth Curry Scored her first career points. THE WHEELS FELL OFF Tennessee s trip to #2 North Carolina had few things to write home about as the wheels fell off for the first time this season. Against the Tar Heels, Tennessee suffered its first loss of the season dropping the Lady Vols record to 6-1. UT was in unfamiliar territory as they trailed at the half for the first time this season. After connecting on better than 50 percent from the field in five games, UT s field goal percentage (.362) was the lowest of the season. Individually, Alexis Hornbuckle -Extended her streak of games with at least one steal to 43. She has recorded at least one steal in 64 of 71 career games; Candace Parker Reached double figures for 21st consecutive game, and for the 40th time in her career, Nicky Anosike Moved into a tie for 11th place on the career blocks list (88) and rookie Cait McMahan deserved the Spunk Award after getting tangled up with UNC s Ivory Latta Caity Mac did not back down. BOBBITT MISSED ONE GAME UT junior point guard Shannon Bobbitt was back in the starting line-up against #2- ranked North Carolina. Bobbitt missed the contest at Louisiana Tech due to a test in one of her classes. Rookie Cait McMahan started in Bobbitt s place in the 71-50 win over the Lady Techsters. McMahan had seven points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal in 24 minutes. SUMMITT CAPTURED ROAD WIN NUMBER 300 AT LA TECH Lady Vol basketball coach Pat Summitt notched her 300th career victory on the road at Louisiana Tech. Summitt has now fashioned a 301-79 all-time record in hostile arenas which equates to an amazing 80 percent winning mark on the road in 33 seasons at the helm of the Lady Vols. SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK Candace Parker was tabbed the SEC Player of the Week on Nov. 27, after leading her team to victories over #11- ranked Stanford, 77-60 and Middle Tennessee, 88-64. The Naperville, Ill., native averaged 20.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks in the two games. Parker connected on both three-point attempts and made 65 percent of her shots from the field. Additionally, she dished four assists and nabbed six steals in the pair of contests. She also slammed home her second dunk of the 2006-07 season and fourth of her career in the win over the Cardinal. Parker earned the honor for the second time this season. LEFTOVERS FROM RUSTON With Tennessee s sloppy 71-50 win over Louisiana Tech, it marked the Lady Vols
seventh consecutive victory over the Lady Techsters. The 71 points were the fewest scored by the Lady Vols this season and the 50 points scored by Tech were the fewest of an opponent this season. The UT starting lineup of Cait McMahan, Alexis Hornbuckle, Sidney Spencer, Candace Parker and Nicky Anosike was used for the first time this season. Starting point guard Shannon Bobbitt stayed in Knoxville to take a test. Tennessee s smothering defense forced 10 Lady Techster turnovers in the first nine minutes of the game. The 19 first half turnovers by LTU were the most by a UT opponent this season. UT s halftime lead (+27) was the largest halfway margin since the opening game against Chattanooga (+28). In the bad news department, the smaller Tech squad embarrassed the Lady Vols on the boards with a 46-37 rebounding margin. Individually, Cait McMahan Got her first career start Made her first career free throw attempt and earned career-highs in points (7) and rebounds (4) Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 42. She has made at least one steal in 63 of 70 career games. Her six steals against Tech moved her past Kellie Jolly (177) into 20th place in the UT record books for career steals (180). She had four steals in the first eight minutes of the game in Ruston Candace Parker Became the eighth Lady Vol of all time to reach the 100-blocks plateau and she reached it in just 42 games. On the first two offensive plays of the game for LTU, Parker blocked both attempts. Her seven blocks tied her own personal-best, tie for the most by ever by a UT sophomore and vaulted her into seventh place in the UT record books for career blocks (103), past Daedra Charles (97), Vonda Ward (98) and Abby Conklin (102). Also, she scored in double figures for the 20th game in a row, the 39th time in her career Alberta Auguste The only Lady Vol in history to hail from the state of Louisiana, she played in Ruston, about five hours (340 miles) from her hometown of Marrero, La. Against the Techsters, and in front of a bunch of family from Marrero, she had a career-high eight steals, five of which came in the first half Sidney Spencer The first of four Lady Vols to reach double figures, her 10 points marked her seventh consecutive 10+ point game Dominique Redding Spencer s senior sidekick had a career-high 13 points on a career-high six field goals. UT-MTSU BITS & PIECES Tennessee made 10 three-pointers, tying for the 10 th most in program history All 11 Lady Vols saw playing time Candace Parker Scored in double-figures for the fifth time this season and the 19 th game in a row dating back to last season and moved into fourth place in career field goal percentage (.462) with her 7-of-9 shooting Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 41 and now has at least one steal in 62 of 69 career games. She moved into a tie for 21st place in the Lady Vol record books with 174 career thefts Sidney Spencer- Scored in double figures for the fifth time this season, the sixth time in a row dating back to the North Carolina game on March 28, 2006. The streak of six consecutive double-digit scoring outings is the longest of her career. She also made four threepointers, the most by a Lady Vol this season Alex Fuller-The first of four Lady Vols to reach double-digits in the game. Her 12 points are a career-high and her two three-pointers tied a careerhigh Nicky Anosike-Had a season-high 13 points, marking her 15 th career game with a double-digit output. She moved into a tie for 13 th place for career blocks and Nicci Moats-Scored her first UT points. NEW SCHOOL RECORD Sophomore Candace Parker broke Michelle Snow s school record for most dunks in a career in the game with #11 Stanford on Nov. 24. Parker s one-handed slam with 10:55 left in the first half was the fourth of Parker s career and the second of the season. Snow registered three dunks (1998-2002) during her career. Parker since added a jam against West Virginia on Dec. 20 in Knoxville. A TALE OF TWO HALVES After opening games shooting at.613 (UTC),.531 (UCLA),.516 (Arizona St.) UT had its first stinker in the opening 20 minutes making just 13-31 field goals for a season-low.419 shooting percentage in the first half against Stanford UT responded with.609 accuracy in the second half (14-23) for the best second half field goal performance of the season UT-STANFORD WRAP-UP All Lady Vols who played scored UT missed only one free throw, shooting at a 94.7 percent clip Individually, Candace Parker Sank her first three-point attempt of the season, recorded her second dunk of the season, her first career dunk against a ranked opponent, Was the first of two Lady Vols to reach double-figures, Eclipsed the 20-point plateau for the third straight game and the 13th time in her career, Surpassed 700 points for her career, Recorded five blocks, tying for the 10th-most in a single game by a Lady Vol (She now has 93 for her career, moving past Tiffani Johnson (89) and Cindy Noble (91) into 10th place in the Lady Vol record books); Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with a steal to 40. She has made at least one steal in 61 of 68 career game; Sidney Spencer Scored in double figures for the fourth time this season, the 31st time in her career. UT LEADS PAC-10 AT 3-0 The Tennessee Lady Vols have finished their Pac-10 slate with a 3-0 record against three ranked teams in consecutive games. During the stretch of wins over #20/21 UCLA, at #11 Arizona State and #11 Stanford in the last week, UT averaged 81.0 ppg and gave up 64.7 ppg for a 16.3 scoring margin. The Lady Vols shot.528 from the field,.455 from three point land and.760 from the line. UT forced the opposition in an average of 23.0 turnovers per game while coming up with 14.0 steals per contest. Individually, Candace Parker tossed in 24.0 ppg, 8.3 rpg and registered two dunks. FIFTY IS NIFTY With the victory over Stanford, Tennessee has now claimed 52 victories all-time against teams from the Pac-10. Outside of the Southeastern Conference (365 wins), the Lady Vols have recorded 77 wins over teams from the ACC and 66 victories over BIG EAST Conference schools. The Pac- 10 ranks as the fourth most defeated conference by UT. FIRST MONTH OF THE SEASON: STATE LOVE & PAC-10 EAST In the first month of the 2006-07 season, the Lady Vols had eight foes scheduled. Three teams hailed from the state of Tennessee as the Lady Vols faced Chattanooga (a 102-72 win), Middle Tennessee (an 88-64 win) and Coach Pat Summitt s alma mater, UT-Martin (a 85-29 win). UT will seem like a member of the Pac-10, eastern division, as the Lady Vols faced three ranked Pac-10 schools in consecutive games: #20/21 UCLA (an 83-60 win), at #11 Arizona State (an 83-74 win ) and #11 Stanford (a 77-60 win). Trips to long-standing rival Louisiana Tech (a 71-50 victory) and #2-ranked North Carolina (a 57-70 loss) rounded out the first month of the season. CANDACE PARKER EARNS SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONOR Tennessee sophomore basketball standout Candace Parker was named the SEC Player of the Week (Nov. 13-19) for her performances in wins over #20/21 UCLA (83-60) and at #11 Arizona State (83-74). Last season, Parker received the league s Freshman of the Week honor on four occasions, and the Player of the Week award once during her rookie campaign. In two games, Parker averaged 23.5 points and eight rebounds along with four steals and a pair of blocks. In the game against Arizona State, the Naperville, Ill., native picked up her 11th career double-double and first of the season with 25 points and 10 rebounds. She shot 10-of-15 from the field against UCLA and stayed perfect from the line (2-of-2) for 22 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block to earn Philips Player of the Game accolades. The scoring occurrences marked the 35th and 36th double figure games in her 39-game career. The match-ups were also the 10th and 11th game with 20 or more points. LADY VOL SPOILERS The Lady Vols have enjoyed the role of spoiler snapping long-standing winning streaks on a number of opponent s home floors over the years. On Nov. 19, Tennessee halted Arizona State s 26-game winning streak at Wells Fargo Arena with an 83-74 win. Last season, Stanford had amassed a 23-game winning streak at Maples Pavilion before the Lady Vols grabbed a 74-67 win on Dec. 4, 2005. FREE THROW WOES Good thing that the Lady Vols exploded to as much as a 24-point lead against Arizona State. Had Tennessee been forced to rely on relief from the charity stripe down the stretch, it would have been a bad outcome. UT made only 12-21 free throws against the Sun Devils for just 57.1 percent. Candace Parker missed four (7-11), Shannon Bobbitt missed the front end of two 1+1 situations (0-2) and Alex Fuller, uncharacteristically, missed both of her bonus tosses (0-2).
UCLA WAS 370TH WIN VS. RANKED Tennessee s victory over UCLA improved its record 2-0 on the season and gave the Lady Vols their 370th all-time win over a ranked foe. The Big Orange is now 372-145 in games against Top-25 ranked opposition. At halftime, Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt challenged her team to get off to a quick start in the second half and hunker down on defense. Challenge answered. Tennessee opened the second half with a 10-0 run and UCLA did not score a field goal until 3:55 into the second stanza. Individually: Alexis Hornbuckle Extended her streak of games with at least one steal to 38 straight contests; Sidney Spencer The first of three Lady Vols to reach double-figures -- it was the 29th double-digit game of her career; Candace Parker Scored in double-figures for the 35th time in her 38- game career -- it was her 11th career contest of 20 or more points. No dunks against the Bruins. However, her repertoire of shots was simply amazing; Nicky Anosike Surpassed the 500-point plateau for her career -- she now has 503 career points and Alex Fuller Scored a career-high 10. NEW UNIFORM PATCH This year, University of Tennessee student-athletes who achieve a 3.0 GPA or better in the classroom have a VS patch on their uniform. The VS stands for Vol Scholar. Every Lady Vol basketball player (except for the newcomers -- rookies Cait McMahan and Nicci Moats and junior college transfers Alberta Auguste and Shannon Bobbitt) are proudly displaying the patch on their uniform jerseys this season. THREE 100 POINT GAMES In the two preseason exhibition tilts and in the first game of the season, the Tennessee Lady Vols registered at least 100 points in all three contests. It marks the first time in program history that a Lady Vol team had tallied triple digits in back-toback-to-back contests. UT dropped in 102 points against Chattanooga in the season opener and recorded games of 104 points versus Carson-Newman and 101 points against the Houston Jaguars in a pair of exhibition match-ups. SOMETHING SPECIAL In her first handful of games in a Lady Vol uniform, 5 2 junior point guard Shannon Bobbitt has quickly become a crowd favorite. The diminutive Bobbitt is so quick with the ball, she has left defenders shaking their heads more than once. Hailing from Manhattan, N.Y., Bobbitt earned her hoops rep on some of the toughest courts in the city. The guys at the famed hoops mecca, Rucker Park, nicknamed her something special. After watching some of her moves in the first two games, a more accurate nickname might be the ankle breaker. CANDACE JAMS Lady Vol sophomore All-American Candace Parker gave Lady Vols fans the dunk they had been waiting to see at Thompson-Boling Arena. On Nov. 12, 2006, with UT leading Chattanooga, 75-43, Parker stole the ball from the Lady Mocs Brooke Hand near the sideline. The 6-4 forward took off for the other end of the court and slammed the rock in with her right hand with 16:02 left in the game as cheers shook the Arena. The rangy soph brought the crowd to their collective feet in Thompson-Boling Arena again recording her first dunk against a ranked opponent throwing one down at the 10:55 mark in the first half against #11 Stanford on Nov. 24. Parker elected to finger roll a couple of shots last year but never dunked at home. She finally dunked twice as a rookie in the NCAA First Round game versus Army last season. Prior to Parker s dunking exploits, Michelle Snow dunked three times as a Lady Vol. Unfortunately, the dunks occurred on the road at Maui, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. In Snow s final game at Thompson-Boling Arena, she went in to dunk against Notre Dame in the waning seconds of UT s NCAA Second Round victory over the Irish, but she was fouled instead and the dunk never went down. Parker s dunk against #11 Stanford passed Snow for the Lady Vol records for dunks in a career with four. FIRST GAME IMPRESSIONS The 102-72 win over Chattanooga improves Tennessee to 68-3 in 100-point games Tennessee made its first six shots of the game from the field and its first 11 free throws In the first half, the Lady Vols shot a sizzling 60 percent from beyond the arc, connecting on six of 10 attempts...every Lady Vols saw playing time in the first half Chattanooga broke the opponent record for three-pointers in a game with 13 The previous opponent record was 12, by Stanford in Knoxville on Dec. 21, 1992 The Lady Vols reached the century scoring mark when rookie Cait McMahan drove the length of the floor for a lay up with just over five minutes remaining in the game This was the first 100+ point season-opening game for the Lady Vols since a 112-39 victory over Stetson on Nov. 26, 1989 Shannon Bobbitt was the first of six Lady Vols to reach double-figure scoring Alex Fuller tied a career high in blocks (2) in the first half and scored a career-high nine points Cait McMahan s first bucket in a Lady Vol uniform came when she snuck around the defense for her first career lay-up Alexis Hornbuckle extended her streak of games to 37 with at least one steal and she shattered her own career-best mark with seven steals against UTC Candace Parker scored in doublefigures for the 15th consecutive game dating back to last season and dunked for the first time at home in her 37-game career -- It was the first recorded dunk by a woman in a game in Thompson-Boling Arena history. EXHIBIONISTS I TELL YOU In two 2006-07 preseason exhibition tilts against Carson-Newman and the Houston Jaguars, the Lady Vols averaged 102.5 ppg while giving up 50.0 ppg. UT connected on 49.7 percent from the field and cashed in on 70.2 percent from the line. UT s defense forced 35.5 turnovers per game and came away with 22.0 steals per outing. 62 INCHES OF DYNAMITE Lady Vol junior college transfer Shannon Bobbitt is listed at 5 2 and is the shortest player on the roster since Diane Brady donned uniform number 20 for Tennessee during the 1973-75 seasons. PARKER NAMED TO AP A-A Lady Vols' Candace Parker was named to yet another preseason All-America team earning the nod from the Associated Press on Nov. 9, 2006.

FIRST ACTION FOR CAITY-MAC Lady Vol rookie point guard Cait McMahan saw her first career action in an Orange and White uniform against Chattanooga. Caity-Mac entered the game midway through the first half to thunderous cheers from the Tennessee crowd. In her debut, she tossed in four points, grabbed three rebounds and dished two assists. A 5-4 point guard, McMahan missed the first two exhibition games of the season. The feisty freshman had arthroscopic surgery on her right knee on Oct. 20, 2006 by Dr. Greg Mathien, UT team orthopaedist. She was cleared to return to the practice floor on Nov. 6.

We are very excited to have signed this outstanding class of student-athletes to come to the University of Tennessee, said Summitt. Individually and collectively, they are regarded as some of the top prospects in the nation. All four players will be an excellent fit and complement the players on our roster. Our coaching staff and team are thrilled that these talented young women will be wearing Tennessee Orange and White next season, said Summitt. A number of pollsters who rate signing classes have given Tennessee the nod for the nation s best recruiting class. Ironically, all four players took their official visits to Tennessee on the same weekend. Talented shooters Bjorklund, a 6-0 guard from Spokane Valley, Wash. (University H.S.), and Smallbone, a 5-9 guard from Granger, Ind. (St. Joseph s H.S.) had committed as juniors. Baugh, a 6-4 forward from Sacramento, Calif. (Sacramento H.S.), and Cain, a 6-6 center from Atlanta, Ga. (St. Pius X H.S.) were sought-after as key frontline players to bolster the Lady Vol attack. As a coaching staff, we talked about the fact that this would be the best recruiting class in the country. Certainly one of the reasons that we felt like we wanted to sign (four) in this class was the quality of the players that were in it, said Summitt. There were times when I was a little concerned because we only brought six people to campus and obviously we signed four. It just worked out. We identified our needs in the class, Summitt said. We felt like if we could get two guards and two frontline players that we could obviously put together a very successful recruiting endeavor, and we did. Each of these players are great, skilled athletes who are capable of playing multiple positions. I love the versatility in each of their games and their hunger to become the very best, Summitt concluded.
