These are some amazing stats on the Lady Vols!

The Lady Vols pulled down 12 offensive rebounds in the first half and converted those caroms into 13 second-chance points. In the game, Tennessee collected 24 offensive rebounds and registered 22 second-chance points.
Tennessee had as many offensive rebounds in the first 20 minutes as Rutgers had total rebounds.
The Lady Vols' 29 first-half points matched Tennessee's scoring output vs. the Scarlet Knights in their last meeting, in the regional semifinal of the 2006 Cleveland Regional. The Lady Vols led the 2006 meeting at the half, 29-27.
Tennessee connected on two three-pointers in the first-half vs. Rutgers. In the entire game against North Carolina in the national semifinals, the Lady Vols made only two three-pointers.
After making two of their first three shots, the Lady Vols missed their next 10 attempts before a lay-up by Candace Parker with 11:30 remaining in the first half broke the shooting drought.
Tennessee held Rutgers to two three-pointers, marking the third time this tournament that the Lady Vols have limited their opponents to two triples.
Tennessee is 13-1 vs. Rutgers when scoring at least 58 points. The only loss when scoring more than that mark came on Jan. 17, 1994 in an 87-77 Scarlet Knight's victory.
Tennessee has matched up vs. a school from the BIG EAST in the title game on four previous occasions, all against Connecticut. The Huskies have gotten the better of the meetings, as they are 4-0 in those games. Connecticut defeated the Lady Vols in 2004 (70-61), 2003 (73-68), 2000 (71-52) and 1995 (70-64). The average scoring margin for Tennessee in those game was -9.7, with the Lady Vols averaging 61.3 points in the games, while allowing 71.0 to Connecticut.
Tennessee is 5-5 in the Final Four when scoring in the 60's, 5-0 when scoring in the 70's, 6-0 when posting 80 or more points and 3-5 when posting less than 60 points.
Tennessee coach Pat Summitt has guided Tennessee to all 17 of its Women's Final Four appearances, the most appearances by any coach in the game, men's or women's.
Summitt's overall coaching record stands at 947-180 in 33 seasons, all at Tennessee. She is the winningest coach, men's and women's, in NCAA history having passed UNC's Dean Smith (880 victories).
Tennessee is 7-1 on neutral courts this season. The Lady Vols last lost on a neutral court in the semifinals of the 2007 Southeastern Conference Tournament (LSU, 63-54; 3/3/07).
The last time Tennessee played in Ohio in the Final Four, it defeated Old Dominion 68-59 in the championship game of the 1997 Final Four. The game was played at Riverfront Coliseum on Mar. 30, 1997.
Tennessee is 18-3 against ACC teams in the NCAA Tournament, including 4-0 in the Final Four (56-50 vs. North Carolina, 4/1/07; 66-56 vs. Duke, 4/6/03; 70-67 (OT) vs. Virginia, 3/31/91; 77-65 vs. Maryland, 3/31/89).
A BIG EAST team has ended a Lady Vols' season only five times: Connecticut is the only current member of the BIG EAST to have handed Tennessee its last loss of the season: 1995 (70-64), 2000 (71-52), 2002 (79-56), 2003 (73-68) and 2004 (70-61).
Three out of the five times Tennessee has carried a double-digit win streak into the Final Four, it has won a championship (1989: 15 games; 1996: 13 games; 1998: 37/44 games). The Lady Vols lost in 1988, riding a 22-game win streak, and in 2000, riding a 19-game win streak.
The Lady Vols are 12-1 all-time in games played in the state of Ohio. The only loss occurred versus North Carolina (75-63) in the Cleveland Regional Final on March 28, 2006. Against teams from the Buckeye State, Tennessee has posted a 14-5 overall mark. The only teams from Ohio to hold winning series records versus the Lady Vols are Xavier, who registered an 80-65 triumph in Sweet 16, on March 24, 2001, and Cincinnati, who has three wins over Tennessee.
Tennessee's 27.0 percent shooting mark against North Carolina was the lowest by a winning team in women's basketball Final Four history.
Tennessee's second-half comeback vs. the Tar Heels was the eighth-largest margin (12 points) overcome in the Final Four, semifinals or championship game.
This is the seventh season in Pat Summitt's career that the Lady Vols have won 33+ wins.
The Lady Vols are 2-0 all-time, respectively vs. teams from the BIG EAST in Quicken Loans Arena.
Tennessee has had four players from Ohio play for the Lady Vols. The list includes; Michelle Munoz (Mason), Shalon Pillow (Addyston), Semeka Randall (Cleveland) and Vonda Ward (Northfield). Both Randall and Ward were members of national championship teams at Tennessee.
