Notes...
- Tennessee made its first six shots of the game from the field and its first 11 foul shots
- In the first half, the Lady Vols shot a sizzling 60 percent from beyond the arc, connecting on six of 10 attempts.
- All Lady Vols saw playing time in the first half.
- Chattanooga broke the opponent record for three-pointers in a game with 13. The previous opponent record was 12, by Stanford in Knoxville on Dec. 21, 1992.
- Chattanooga's Brooke Hand tied her career-best with six treys. It marks the fifth time in her career that she's reached that plateau
- The Lady Vols reached the century scoring mark when Cait McMahan drove the length of the floor for a lay up with just over five minutes remaining in the game.
- This was the first 100+ point season-opening game for the Lady Vols since a 112-39 victory over Stetson on Nov. 26, 1989. On two other occasions Tennessee has reached the century mark in its first game (Nov. 13, 1976, UT 107-53 over Kentucky and Nov. 23, 1977, UT 100-33 over Miami (Ohio)).
