We’re less than two weeks away now so expect updates to be coming in more regularly!

• Tennessee has posted a new practice report updating how things are going after their first official week on the court. The story also has head coach Rob Patrick’s thoughts on the just launched SEC Network and some discussion with newcomers Kelsey Bawcombe and Claudia Coco on how they’re adjusting to their new team.
• The Lady Vols had their first scrimmage of the season on Saturday. (Which for the first time in my memory they finally decided to publicize!) I wasn’t able to go to this one but hopefully a lot of other fans were able to take advantage of the opportunity to get an early look at the team. You can visit the team’s Instagram account (listed on the sidebar) to see some photos.
• Coach Patrick and the team participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge that’s been spreading across the web raising money for ALS research. Check out the video on the team’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
• In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been slowly but surely updating behind-the-scenes things around here for the new season. The roster and schedule pages are done. The stats page is being readied with former players being moved to make way for new players to be added. The SEC pages are finished while the all-time records section is being updated. And some new features are being added. For example: there is now a listing of all of Tennessee’s Senior Aces; the season match-by-match stats now show highs and lows; and the season player pages now show the statistical leaders. And more is on the way!
