• Lady Vols getting game ready : The Lady Vols are one week away from their first exhibition opponent and seem ready to face someone else on the court besides themselves and the practice guys. They aren’t season ready yet, but the team is well on the way to being prepared for its first game.
• Shekinna Stricklen SEC preseason POY: Shekinna Stricklen was thrilled towards the end of last season when she got a text message from Tennessee’s media relations chief that the SEC Player of the Year needed to call the office so a press release could be issued about the news. Her response to being the league’s preseason POY this fall was much more muted.
• Alicia Manning brings grit to court: Alicia Manning grew up with two older brothers, and their idea of play time was to jump off the roof of the porch and onto a trampoline so that they could dunk on their basketball goal. That sense of adventure has served the senior well on the court.
• Martin, Tatum represent Vols: HOOVER, Ala. – First-year Tennessee Coach Cuonzo Martin and senior Cameron Tatum represented the Vols on Thursday at SEC Media Day at the Wynfrey Hotel. Inside Tennessee has video coverage of their remarks.
• Pat Summitt center of attention: HOOVER, Ala. – Vicki Baugh attended her first SEC Media Day on Thursday, but she handled it like a seasoned veteran, fielding multiple questions about her knee – it’s fine and pain free – and, by her estimate, dozens of questions about the medical condition of her head coach.
• Lady Vol Media Day: Halloween was definitely a treat for Pat Summitt – Monday’s practice was all defense with just five free throws attempted – and, in keeping with the holiday theme, it’s beginning to look a lot like basketball from the Lady Vols holding media day to the arena being prepared for game day.
