• Lady Vols romp in exhibition opener: The visiting team wore “We Back Pat” T-shirts, and the home head coach visited the opponent’s locker room after the game, but other than that it was a typical exhibition opener for Tennessee basketball with Pat Summitt on the sideline and a 105-40 win over Carson-Newman.
• Lady Vols make corrections on court: Pat Summitt and Mickie DeMoss handled practice Wednesday — Dean Lockwood was on the recruiting trail and Holly Warlick had surgery on her hand — and used the session to review the exhibition game film, clean up some defensive miscues and get some shots up in Pratt Pavilion.
• Massengale headed in right direction: After Ariel Massengale collided with Cierra Burdick in practice, both players ended up on the sideline – Massengale because her head was hurt and Burdick because she was distraught.
• Cuonzo Martin meets with media: The Vols basketball team returned to practice at Pratt Pavilion on Friday afternoon, one day after the 73-52 exhibition win over Carson-Newman
• Holly Warlick returns after surgery : Holly Warlick returned to practice Friday with her arm in a sling and five screws in her left hand after surgery, and Vicki Baugh was full go one day after her day of rest.
• Lady Vols earn an off day: The players erupted in cheers at the end of practice, not because a stretch of six consecutive days had ended, but because Kathy Harston, the director of basketball operations, reminded them to set their clocks back an hour, thus giving everyone an extra hour of sleep overnight.
• Lady Vols host Union this evening :
  When Izzy Harrison watched ABC’s 20/20 feature on Pat Summitt, one thing the coach said really stuck with her, and the already motivated freshman now has even more reason to work hard this season.

• Big guys, big questions: Tennessee's top three inside players from 2010-11 — Tobias Harris, Brian Williams and John Fields — have departed. Returnee Kenny Hall is incredibly foul prone. Returnee Jeronne Maymon played in just 14 games last season. Returnee Renaldo Woolridge is a converted wing whose physicality is suspect.

• Cocks dump Vols, 14-3: When your offense is as short-handed as Tennessee's, you need to take advantage of every break. The Vols failed to do so Saturday night at Neyland Stadium, and the result was a 14-3 loss to No. 14 South Carolina.

The articles requiring a Premium subscription in this set include:

• 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.

• Lawson, husband running for coach: Kara Lawson will undergo somewhat of a role reversal next month when she is on the sidelines – albeit a constantly changing one – while her husband runs the New York City Marathon as part of the couple’s push to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

The articles requiring a Premium subscription in this set include:

• Lady Vols hold morning session: When Pat Summitt walked onto the court Monday morning – the same one that bears her name – she jokingly asked who scheduled practice before the sun even came up in East Tennessee.
• Defense buzzword for Lady Vols: The Lady Vols have made it clear they intend to get to the Final Four this season and compete for a championship. Of course, that is the stated goal every preseason. What may be different this time is they truly realize it’s their defense that would secure a spot in Denver.
• Taber Spani returns to practice: Before practice started Wednesday, Taber Spani was lofting shots, which is not at all unusual. What was different this time is that she was doing so left-handed – the first time this month since she had elbow surgery to remove scar tissue.
• Ariel Massengale easing her way back: Ariel Massengale made it to the practice court Thursday for a few drills — all non-contact and limited to dribbling and some shooting — after missing the past nine days because of a concussion.
• Lady Vols earn weekend off : The Lady Vols wrapped up their fifth consecutive practice Friday and ninth in 10 days with an up-tempo session from start to finish. It ended with lots of smiles because the players have this entire weekend to themselves.
