• Pressure defense paces Lady Vols: Taber Spani can fill up a box score with points – and she did so Tuesday with seven treys in the 93-45 exhibition win over Union – but it was her effort on the defensive side of the ball that stood out with deflections, ball denial and four steals.
• Lady Vols prepare for season opener : The Lady Vols returned to practice Friday after an off day with a noticeable shift in approach – it’s time to prepare for a specific opponent with the regular season officially starting Sunday afternoon.
• Lady Vols open season today
  : The regular season officially gets underway this afternoon against Pepperdine but don’t expect Vicki Baugh to treat Sunday any differently from the hundreds of other days she has spent on Tennessee’s campus.
