TODAY'S GAME
The #3/4-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols get back on the road this weekend and travel to #22/21 ranked Georgia in a key SEC match-up in Athens, Ga., on Feb. 10. It marks the first of four consecutive games versus ranked teams in the coming week.

IN OUR LAST GAME
The #3/4-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers returned to the friendly confines of Thompson-Boling Arena on Feb. 7, 2002 and rung up a solid 93-65 win over Arkansas. After losing to #8/6 Vanderbilt just five days earlier, Coach Pat Summitt conducted "Basketball 101" in three days of practice prior to the meeting with the Lady Razorbacks. Summitt once again juggled the line-up employing her 10th different combination of the season. It took UT 2 minutes and 25 seconds for the first Lady Vol basket to fall. In the meantime, Arkansas raced out to a 6-2 lead. After the UA bench was whistled for a technical foul with 13:45 showing, the Lady Vols tied the score at 10-10. They would never trail in the game again. A Michelle Munoz lay-up provided UT with a 29-19 lead with 4:34 before the half. At the break, the Lady Vols led 40-29 largely behind 13 first half points from Michelle Snow (off the bench) and Kara Lawson with 11 points. In the second stanza, a Lawson lay-up with 16:31 showing gave UT a 53-33, 20-point lead. The 'Backs came back and shaved that lead in half with a three-minute 10-0 run narrowing the score to 53-43 at 13:08. UT responded with a fired up Lawson and rookie Shyra Ely to put the game out of reach. For the game, Lawson finished with a career high 30-points as she connected on 10-17 from the field, 3-4 treys and 7-8 from the charity stripe. Also in extra digits were Snow with 13 points and Ely with 11 points. Lawson and Gwen Jackson led with seven rebounds. UT connected 62% of its second half shots to finish with .547 from the field, 44% three-pointers and a 70% from the charity stripe. UT controlled the boards with a 49-27 advantage. UT committed 20 turnovers on six Arkansas steals while forcing 16 miscues on nine UT thefts. UT tallied 40 points in the paint to just 16 for Arkansas. Additionally, UT's bench outscored UA, 44-15.

OUR SCHEDULE THIS WEEK
Crazy. Beginning with the game at #22/21 Georgia, the Lady Vols will face four ranked teams in seven days -- #17/15 Texas (Feb. 12), at #25 Miss. State (Feb. 14) and #6 Vanderbilt (Feb. 16).

ALL-CONFERENCE
This season, Tennessee will take on teams from 11 different conferences.

LADY VOLS ON TELEVISION
Nineteen Lady Vol regular season games will be on television this year. UT is 13-2 thus far on TV. Upcoming televised games: Georgia, Texas and Vandy (FOX SNS).

ON THIS DAY
On Feb. 10, the Lady Vols have produced a 8-2 record all-time. The Lady Vols are 4-1 at home, 4-1 away and have a 0-0 slate at neutral sites. UT's most recent game on this day was in 2000 when Tennessee defeated Ole Miss, 70-49, in Oxford, Miss.

LOOKING BACK
Last year at this time, the Lady Vols were 24-1 overall, 10-0 in the SEC and had just defeated Ole Miss, 119-52, in Knoxville, Tenn.

2001-02 TENNESSEE LADY VOL OPPONENTS
The 2001-02 Tennessee Lady Vols will play 19 games versus ranked teams out of a total of 27 regular season opponents. Five other UT opponents have received votes in either the Associated Press or USA TODAY/ESPN top 25 polls. Only three opponents on this season's schedule have not been ranked at all. Furthermore, the Lady Vols will have faced six of the top 10 teams (in seven games) of the current WBCA/Summerville RPI top 10. It's no wonder that the Lady Vols lead the nation in strength of schedule and RPI.

LAST TIME VERSUS GEORGIA
The #2 ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers had a gut check game against #4-ranked Georgia in Knoxville on Jan. 18, 2001 and the Big Orange prevailed 85-69. Just three days after UT lost 2000 Player of the Year and three-time All-American Tamika Catchings to an ACL injury, the Lady Vols closed ranks to deliver the win. It wasn't easy. UT, now with Kristen "Ace" Clement at the point and other players moving one position, slowly built a 14-7 lead with 13:49 to play in the first half. Georgia then went on an 11-0 run to pull ahead 18-14 just two minutes later. The Bulldogs extended their lead by as many as eight points (29-21 at 7:31) when Coco and Kelly Miller heated up. UT kept the 'Dawgs in sight in the 4-6 point lead range before rookie Tasha Butts hit a lay-up to send UT into the locker room trailing just 43-40. Making up for Catchings' loss by committee, nine Lady Vols appeared in the scoring/rebounding columns of the boxscore in the first half. The lead see-sawed to open the second stanza before UGA grabbed a six point lead (55-49) with 13:33 to play. A pair of Kara Lawson treys evened the score at 59-59 with 10 minutes to play. UGA would not score another field goal in the game after a Tawana McDonald basket with 9:02 left gave the 'Dawgs a 61-59 lead. It was Lawson, Gwen Jackson and Semeka Randall down the stretch who provided a double-digit lead for UT. On the night, Randall and Jackson tallied 20 points each to lead UT. Also in double-digits were Michelle Snow with 15 points and Lawson with 14 points. Jackson grabbed a career high 15 rebounds while Snow also tallied a double-double with 12 boards. UT connected on 40% FG and out-rebounded UGA, 57-45. UGA committed just 13 miscues on seven Lady Vol steals.

UT & GEORGIA RANKING OUR OPPONENTS IN 2001-02
The #3/4 ranked Tennessee Lady Vols have faced 13 ranked teams in 21 games (62% of its opponents) while Georgia has taken on seven ranked teams in 22 games (31% of its opponents). After the Georgia game, UT will see three more ranked teams in five games.

AP POLL NOTES
The Associated Press women's Top 25 basketball poll released on Jan. 1, 2001, marked the 400th appearance by the Tennessee Lady Vols. Since the poll was started in 1976, UT has failed to appear in just 14 polls through the years. Currently, UT has been ranked in 296 consecutive polls and 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 26 years in the AP poll. UT has appeared at least once per season over the poll's history.

FOOTNOTES FROM THAT GEORGIA LOSS IN 2000
When the Lady Vols fell to Georgia, 78-51 on Jan.17, 2000, in Athens, Ga., a number of negative records were changed. It was the second worst loss (27 points) in UT history ... Twenty-seven points is the worst SEC loss in Lady Vol basketball history ... 51 points is the second fewest ever scored by a Tennessee team and the fewest number of points in a game in 17 years (since 51 points on 12-13-83 versus Long Beach St.) ... Second worst loss ever on television ... 21 points in the second half was the fourth fewest second half points in school history ...

BEEN AWHILE SINCE WE SAW A 30-POINT GAME
When junior guard Kara Lawson burned Arkansas for 30 points on Feb. 7, 2002, it was the first time a Lady Vol had tallied at least 30 points in a game since Nov. 16, 1998. Sophomore Tamika Catchings scored an even 30 against St. Joseph's.

SENIOR CLASS FINALIST
Senior center Michelle Snow has been named as one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award that is hosted by the Kansas City Club. The Senior CLASS Award - an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School -- is a new award for 2001-02. There are 10 finalists on both the men's and women's sides of the hard court. Along with Snow, the other women's finalists are: Sue Bird and Swin Cash of UConn, Stacey Dales of Oklahoma, Deanna Jackson of UAB, Sheila Lambert of Baylor, Tamara Moore of Wisconsin, Susan Moran of St. Joseph's, Angie Welle of Iowa State and Lindsey Yamasaki of Stanford. The winner will be announced during the Final Four and will be honored at a black tie dinner on April 20, 2002, in Kansas City.

THE 20 WIN THING/ FASTEST LADY VOL TEAMS TO 20 W's
With one more victory in the books, the Lady Vols complete yet another 20-win season with 19 victories recorded thus far. When Tennessee defeated Kentucky for the second time last year, it marked the 25th consecutive time a Lady Vol team reached at least 20 wins in a season under Coach Pat Summitt. It also marked just the second time the Lady Vols have achieved 20 wins in the month of January.

SEASON	DATE OF 20TH WIN	RECORD AT TIME
1997-98	Jan.20	20-0
2000-01	Jan.27	20-1
1994-95	Feb. 1	20-1
1998-99	Feb. 4	20-1
1993-94	Feb. 5	20-1
1992-93	Feb. 6	20-1
1989-90	Feb. 7	20-4

THE SEC
Tennessee has a 296-50 record all-time versus the SEC. Mississippi State is the only team who has never recorded a win over UT. Florida and Arkansas have the next fewest victories at 1 each.

SUMMITT GOES FOR WIN #779 TODAY
The victory over Arkansas was Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt's 778th of her 28-year career. Now with 778 wins, she currently ranks eighth among all coaches (men's or women's) in all-time victories. She is just behind Bob Knight and Jody Conradt. The only woman Summitt trails behind is Conradt of the University of Texas who started this season in her 33rd year of coaching with 766 wins. Conradt is 14-7 on the year and has 780 victories.

UT'S LAST LOSS TO AN UNRANKED TEAM...?
When is the last time Tennessee lost to an unranked team? That would have been to Auburn on Mar. 2, 1997 at the SEC Tournament in Chattanooga, Tenn.

SIX SELL-OUTS -- IT MUST BE THE ORANGE
Another school has joined the ranks of producing a sold-out arena when the Lady Vols came to call during the 2001-02 season as Vanderbilt announced an advance sell-out (14,168) on Jan. 30 for their Feb. 2 game with the Lady Vols. Previously, South Carolina announced an advance sell-out on Jan. 15 for its Jan. 17 game with the Lady Vols. A total of 12,168 clicked through the turnstiles at Carolina Coliseum for the game. Earlier this season, the game with DePaul attracted an over-capacity crowd of 3,025. Prior to that, Stanford made the announcement on Monday, Dec. 10 (six days before tip-off) that the game with Tennessee was an advance sell-out (7,391). UT's game with George Washington (Nov. 27) was also an advance sell-out (5,252) while the Lady Vols and UT-Chattanooga attracted the largest crowd ever to watch the Mocs play, 9,113. And of course, the Tennessee vs. Connecticut game in Knoxville attracted the largest crowd in collegiate women's basketball history with 24,611 in attendance. The game was also an advance sell-out.

WENT OVER 200,000 AT VANDY
With 14,168 fans in attendance against Vandy in Nashville, the Lady Vols now have gone over the 200,000 mark in total attendance for the eighth consecutive season. To date, 222,480 have clicked through the turnstiles to see the Lady Vols play at all venues.

ROAD STREAK SNAPPED
The loss at #8/6 Vanderbilt on Feb. 2 snapped the Lady Vols consecutive regular season wins on the road at 26 games. Prior to the Vandy loss, the last time UT lost a regular season game on the road was on Jan. 17, 2000, at Georgia, 78-51.

SUMMITT CLASSIFIEDS-- STARTERS WANTED
Lady Vol coach Pat Summitt has started 10 different line-ups in 21 games. In the last seven games she has started six different line-ups. The only common denominator in all 21 games has been junior guard Kara Lawson who has started every contest.

WOW -- REGULAR SEASON STARTING TO WIND DOWN
After today's game against Georgia, the Lady Vols will have just five games left to play in the regular season over the next 12 days - or one game every 2.4 days. The contests are split with three games at home and two on the road - and four consecutive games versus ranked teams and two games versus unranked teams. Texas (Feb. 12) is the only non-conference foe remaining.

With the victory over Arkansas on Feb. 7, Tennessee currently has won 38 consecutive SEC games at home. The last SEC loss at home was to Georgia on Dec. 8, 1996, 94-93 (OT).

UT GOES OVER 100,000

THE ANNUAL ATTENDANCE CHALLENGE
The Lady Vols have picked right up where they left off the last couple of seasons leading the nation in women's basketball attendance. As of Feb. 8, UT is in first place averaging 14,965 while Texas Tech is in second place with 13,320. Rounding out the top five are: 3. Connecticut 12,534, 4. Iowa State 10,116 and 5. New Mexico 9,024. The crowd of 24,611 at the Tennessee-Connecticut game on Jan. 5, 2002, broke the women's basketball collegiate record for largest attendance. The previous record was 24,597 set on Jan. 3, 1998, when UT defeated UConn, 84-69, in Knoxville.

SNOW ADDS ONE TO HER NCAA RECORD DUNK TOTAL
When 6'5" Lady Vol senior center Michelle Snow threw down a one-handed dunk with 1:51 left in the game at #8 South Carolina on Jan. 17, it was the third dunk of her career and the first of the season. As a junior, Snow recorded dunks against Illinois (in Maui) and Vanderbilt (in Nashville) of the two-handed slamming variety. Her latest dunk was her first one-handed jam. Lady Vol fans are still waiting to see Snow dunk in Thompson-Boling Arena.

LONGEST STREAK
The win over South Carolina extended Tennessee's streak over the Lady Gamecocks to 26 games. It's the longest winning streak UT has over an opponent. Lady Vol senior Amanda Canon was the only Lady Vol born (12-8-79) the last time South Carolina defeated the Lady Vols (1-23-80).

TRIBUTE TO DAVE THOMAS
Clara, of Wendy's hamburger commercial fame, barked out "Where's the Beef?" Recently, UT coach Pat Summitt has been barking, "where's the offense?" In the four games prior to the win at South Carolina (beginning with the loss to Connecticut), the Lady Vols scored in the 70's - averaging 74.0 ppg -- about 16 points below their average before the skid. Entering the game with top-ranked Connecticut on Jan. 5, the Lady Vols had been averaging 90.7 ppg while giving up 63.9 ppg. The team was shooting .478 from the field, .687 from the free throw line and .385 from the three-point arc. In the four anemic games since the loss to UConn, the Lady Vols were shooting .458 FG, .372 3FG but raised their free throw percentage to .711.

JUST ONE MORE NON-CONFERENCE OPPONENT
The Feb. 12th game with #17/15 Texas is Tennessee's final non-conference game of the season. The Lady Vols have compiled an 11-1 record this season over non-conference foes. With the exception of the game with Texas, the Lady Vols will be on a steady diet of Southeastern Conference games leading up to the SEC Tournament in Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 28-Mar. 3.

JACKSON'S JERSEY RETIRED
On Tues., Jan. 22, Lady Vol rookie Brittany Jackson's number 25 jersey was retired at Bradley Central H.S. Jackson was a high school All-America and recipient of the prestigious Class 3-AAA Miss Tennessee basketball award as a senior last year. The Bearettes' number 25 jersey has a long history in Brittany's family. Jackson's aunt, Rita Hannah, first wore the #25 jersey at BCHS and it was retired following her playing days. The jersey came out of retirement so that Brittany's mom, Liz Hannah (Jackson) could wear it. It was retired once again after Liz's outstanding high school career. Years later, #25 became Brittany's number at BCHS. It was retired and now hangs alongside the #25 jersies of her mom, Liz and her aunt Rita in the rafters of the Bradley Central gym. Oh, number 25 has been unretired once again. Brittany's, younger sister Lindsay, a BCHS freshman now sports #25.

DIGGING THRU THE RECORDS
When all five UT starters in the Jan. 20th game versus Alabama failed to score in double-figures, it raised the question - "When was the last time the Lady Vols starters failed to produce at least one player in double-figures?" Lady Vol Media Relations graduate assistant Brian Davis found the answer 510 games and 15 years ago. On Mar. 19, 1987, no Lady Vol starter scored in double-figures in a 66-58 victory over Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. The only UT player in double-digits was Bridgette Gordon with 21 points off the bench.

ACADEMIC HONOREES
Four Lady Vols earned Dean's List honors in the 2001 Fall semester: Amanda Canon - 3.19 - Nursing, Kara Lawson - 3.54 - Finance, Courtney McDaniel - 3.38 - Psychology and April McDivitt - 3.13 - Education.

IT'S VUJA DE
Last year, the Lady Vols were rolling along with an 11-0 overall record before the #1 Connecticut Huskies dropped the Lady Vols, 81-76, on Dec. 30, 2000 in Hartford, Conn. This year, Tennessee was also 11-0 before facing the Huskies on Jan. 5, 2002 and suffering an 86-72 setback. Better check the schedule next year before penciling in the Huskies in the 12th game of the season.

UCONN GOT 86
When Connecticut lit-up the scoreboard for 86 points against Tennessee on Jan. 5. 2002, it didn't make the Lady Vol top 10 list for most points scored by an opponent. However, it stacks right up there with the most points scored on a Lady Vol team in recent years. Last season, Connecticut tallied 88 points versus Tennessee in Knoxville on Feb. 1, 2001. However, the Lady Vols scored 92 points to win that contest. On Mar. 1, 1997, LSU rang-up 99 points on the Lady Vols in the SEC Tournament. Alas, Tennessee scored 100 points to claim an overtime victory. The last time a team scored at least 86 points and defeated UT was on Feb. 24, 1997 when Louisiana Tech burned UT for 98 points in a 98-80 romp in Ruston.

ICE CAPADES
The Tennessee Lady Vols have compiled a 17-7 all-time record when they play over ice. This season, UT is 2-0 over ice having collected wins at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga., home to the NHL's Thrashers, and the Conte Forum at Boston College, home of the reigning NCAA hockey champs - the BC Eagles.

GOT OUR 300TH VICTORY AGAINST A RANKED TEAM
The Tennessee Lady Vols recorded their 300th all-time win versus a ranked team with the victory over fifth-ranked Louisiana Tech, 90-75, on Nov. 23, 2001. The Lady Vols now stand 310-126 (.710) overall against ranked foes since the polls began in 1976.

STOP THIEF
Kara Lawson eclipsed 100 career thefts against Florida.

BEST SHOOTERS VS. UT
Connecticut holds the distinction of having the best field goal percentage against the Lady Vols this season connecting on 57% of their shots.

LADY VOLS AT 100%
The contest versus Duke in the ACC/SEC Shootout marked the first time in the 2001-02 season that the Tennessee Lady Vol basketball team was at full-strength. The game against #15/16 Florida was the first time that the entire 14-woman roster was employed in a game. Thirteen players scored in the win.

"THE BIG CITIES TOUR"
The Tennessee Lady Vols were on the road for eight consecutive games and 43 days traveling to Washington, D.C., Orlando, Chestnut Hill, Mass., Palo Alto, Calif., Chicago, Atlanta, Memphis and Gainesville, Fla., before finally returning home on Jan. 5, 2002, to face top-ranked Connecticut in Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee began its month of traveling on the "Big Cities Tour" at the end of November. UT first visited Washington, D.C., where the Lady Vols defeated #21/20 George Washington Univ., 88-57, in a sold-out Charles E. Smith Center on Nov. 27. Tennessee returned home briefly before traveling to Orlando, Fla., for the Honda Elite Four on Dec. 2 at Disney World and hung a 93-56 loss on the #8/9 N.C. State Wolfpack on ESPN. UT then traveled "back east" for a hard-fought 75-66 victory over BIG EAST foe Boston College. After an 11-day break for final exams, the Lady Vols pulled out a big win at #6/5 Stanford, 68-62, in front of a sold-out Maples Pavilion crowd. A sold-out house in Chicago saw the Lady Vols defeat DePaul, 80-66 on stop number five on Dec. 19. On Dec. 27, the Lady Vols faced rival #9 Duke in the ACC/SEC Shootout in the Philips Arena in Atlanta and came away with an impressive 89-68 victory despite 26 miscues. Stop number seven found UT in Memphis where the Lady Vols dropped the University of Memphis, 92-66. The final game of the road trip was the SEC opener in Gainesville that resulted in an 88-64 win over the #15/16 Florida Lady Gators. Tennessee finished with a 8-0 record on the "Big Cities Tour."

FEBRUARY SUCCESS
The Tennessee Lady Vols have enjoyed a great deal of success in the month of February over the years. UT has produced a 204-29 all-time record during the first and busiest month of the year. The Lady Vols are 107-9 at home, 74-15 away and 23-5 at neutral sites.

JUST THE FIFTH TIME
The Lady Vols entered the January portion of their schedule undefeated for only the fifth time in Coach Pat Summitt's 28-years at the helm. With the victory over Memphis on Dec. 29, UT had a 10-0 record. The last time a Lady Vol team began January undefeated was the perfect 1997-98 season when the team went 39-0.

THE CHALLENGE
The Lady Vols participated in their "first challenge" format with the ACC and recorded an 89-68 win over Duke. Previously, the Lady Vols had appeared as a part of the SEC/Big 10 Challenge. The Lady Vols won games versus Illinois and Purdue in those Challenges.

ROBINSON RETURNS
UT sophomore center Ashley Robinson appeared on the court for the first time this season in the game against DePaul. In 13 minutes of action, she scored eight points, grabbed a rebound and dished out an assist. She did not post a turnover. Robinson suffered a torn ACL on June 30, 2001, and had reconstructive surgery on July 12, 2001.

CONGRATS K-LAW
Junior guard Kara Lawson joined the Lady Vol 1,000 career point club when she hit a lay-up with 5:15 to go in UT's game at DePaul on Dec. 19. Lawson becomes the 26th member of the Lady Vols' 1000-point club.

THE IRON PILLS MUST HAVE WORKED
Prior to UT's win at DePaul, the Lady Vols rebounding had been extremely anemic but particularly so on the offensive end. UT was out-rebounded by both Boston College (37-35) and Stanford (42-33) and managed a scant total of just 15 offensive rebounds out of their 72 missed shots in both games (just 19%). Against DePaul, things picked up as UT ruled the boards, 50-36 and grabbed 13 offensive rebounds. In the Lady Vols most recent games versus Duke and Memphis, the team collected a total of 33 offensive boards.

PRESTO-CHANGE-O
Lady Vol fans might be confused when they see #43 step onto the court this season. Sophomore Ashley Robinson is #43, right? Well, Robinson was #43 as a rookie but switched to her favorite number, 33, after Kristen "Ace" Clement graduated last season. Rookie Shyra Ely will don number 43 this season.

ROOKIES REPRESENT
Freshman forward Shyra Ely was joined in the starting line-up for the Boston College game by fellow rookie, Loree Moore who started at point guard.

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE
Junior forward Gwen Jackson turned in the first Lady Vol double-double of the season with a 14-point and 12-rebound performance against #8/9 N.C. State. Fellow junior Kara Lawson followed up with one of her own versus DePaul tossing in 14 points and grabbing 13 rebounds (career high) for her first career double-double. Against Duke, two players doubled-up with Jackson recording a 20-point and 10-rebound night while rookie Shyra Ely turned in an 11-point and 10-rebound outing.

ELITE COMPANY
When Pat Summitt started freshman forward Shyra Ely against Tennessee-Chattanooga on Nov. 16, 2001, it marked only the ninth time in her coaching career that a freshman started her very first game at Tennessee. The list of opening day rookie starters: Ashley Robinson 2000, Gwen Jackson 1999, Semeka Randall 1997, Kyra Elzy 1996, Chamique Holdsclaw 1995, Tiffani Johnson 1994, Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost 1985.

159 WINS IN OUR LAST 171 GAMES
The Lady Vols have won an amazing 159 games in their last 171 basketball contests (.929 winning percentage) spanning five seasons (starting with NCAA Tournament play in 1997). UT was 6-0 in the 1997 NCAA Tourney, ran the table with a 39-0 record in 1997-98, turned in a 31-3 worksheet in 1998-99, a 33-4 mark during the 1999-2000 season, a 31-3 mark last season and an 19-2 mark in 2001-02.

The Lady Vols were declared the top vote getters to nab the SEC crown at SEC Media Days held on Nov.1 in Birmingham, Ala. Additionally, Kara Lawson and Gwen Jackson earned spots on the preseason All-SEC Team. Vanderbilt was predicted to finish second to UT in the SEC this season.

BROGDON TO JOIN WBHOF
Former Lady Vol Olympian and All-American Cindy Brogdon will be inducted into the Class of 2002 in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Brogdon, who was an All-American and Olympian at Tennessee from 1977-79, will be inducted as a player.
