Team Notes

ALABAMA Crimson Tide
The Crimson Tide will continue their season this week at Missouri on Wednesday in the Women's National Invitation Tournament. Alabama is making its third consecutive WNIT appearance and its 11th straight postseason appearance overall. Alabama is 17-17 all-time in postseason play. UA and Mizzou have met just one time before on the hardwood with the Tigers earning a 69-67 victory in Tuscaloosa during the 1980-81 season. The Missouri game will be the 400th of Coach Rick Moody's career at Alabama. He has a 270-129 record going into the contest. With a win at Missouri, Alabama would advance to a second round game versus the winner of the Eastern Kentucky-Southwest Missouri State game.

ARKANSAS Lady Razorbacks
Arkansas makes its eighth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, receiving its highest seed since the 1995 tournament. This is the second consecutive appearance in the NCAAs for the Lady Razorbacks, marking only the second time in school history for consecutive bids (previous was 1990 and 1991 as the Southwest Conference champion). Senior point guard Amy Wright makes Lady'Back history as the first point guard to lead her team into the postseason all four years -- 2 NCAA, 2 NWIT. Arkansas faces Clemson, a team they have never played. The Lady'Backs have won their last five first-round NCAA games; their last eight postseason first-round games.

AUBURN Tigers
Auburn won its first SEC Tournament game since 1997 with the victory over Florida in the first round. Auburn posted a 5-10 record against the field of 64 during the season. The Tigers played 11 teams that made the "Big Dance" and defeated Syracuse, Mississippi State, Florida, Southern and South Carolina.

FLORIDA Lady Gators
Florida earned a bid to its ninth NCAA Championship in the last 10 years. The Lady Gators missed out on the 2000 NCAA Championship, but did play in the WNIT that year and reached the title game. In 2002, UF enters the NCAAs as the No. 6 seed in the Midwest Region and plays BYU in the first round in Ames, Iowa. All of UF's NCAA berths have come under Head Coach Carol Ross. The Lady Gators own an 8-8 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament. During the 2002 season Florida faced 13 of the teams that received NCAA Championship bids, and played 15 games against those programs. UF is one of 17 schools that has both its men's and women's teams competing in the NCAAs.

GEORGIA Lady Bulldogs
The Lady Bulldogs received their 19th all-time NCAA Tournament bid on Sunday night. Georgia is the No. 10 seed in the Mideast Regional and will play Old Dominion, the No. 7 seed, on Saturday morning. The Lady Dogs and ODU have been invited to 19 of 21 NCAA Tournaments, the only schools who have been in the field more are Tennessee and Louisiana Tech. Georgia will be making its seventh appearance in the Mideast Region. The Lady Dogs are 12-4 all-time in the Mideast, advancing to the Final Four from that quarter of the bracket in both 1983 and 1999. Georgia and Old Dominion last met in NCAA action in the 1985 National Championship game, won by the Monarchs (70-65).

KENTUCKY Lady Wildcats
Kentucky finished its season 9-20 overall, 1-13 in the SEC. The Wildcats upset Mississippi State, 75-72, in the first round of the SEC Tournament, marking only the second time in SEC Tournament history that a 12th-seed defeated a fifth seed (Ole Miss defeated Georgia in 1998 in the opening round). UK fell in the second round to fourth seed LSU, 74-62. UK was led in scoring and rebounding throughout the season by sophomore center SeSe Helm. The second team All-SEC selection averaged 17.0 points and 6.7 rebounds a game. Junior point guard Rita Adams, who tied the UK single season record for most steals in a season (104), was the team's second leading scorer with 11.0 points per game.

LSU Lady Tigers
The sixth-seeded Lady Tigers will be traveling to Boulder, Colo. for their seventh straight postseason appearance and fourth straight NCAA Tournament appearance. LSU will face No. 11-seed Santa Clara in the first round. This will be the first meeting between the Lady Tigers and the Broncos, but LSU is 3-1 against teams from the West Coast Conference. If the Lady Tigers advance, they will face the winner of the No.3-seed Colorado Lady Buffalos and No. 14-seed Southern Lady Jaguars.

OLE MISS Lady Rebels
The Lady Rebels finished the season 11-17 overall and 3-11 in SEC play. Ole Miss graduates four seniors in Saundra Jackson, Von Kirk, TaShondrea Moton and Sherika Wright. Kirk finishes her Lady Rebel career ranked third on the Ole Miss chart for career three-pointers with 141. Kirk also ranks second on the Lady Rebel chart for free throw percentage for a season with 86.1 in 2001-02. She also owns the top spot on the career free throw percentage chart as she made 210-245 free throws during her three-year career, good for 85.7 percent.

MISSISSIPPI STATE Lady Bulldogs
Mississippi State is making its third appearance in the NCAA Tournament in Lubbock, Texas, which is where the Lady Bulldogs were sent the first time they were selected to dance four years ago. State has made four of the programs' five postseason appearances in the last four years, including an invitation to the WNIT last season. The Lady Bulldogs twelth-seed selection is its lowest. MSU was a seven seed the first time it was sent to Lubbock and was a two seed two years ago in Eugene, Ore. State is 1-2 in the NCAA Tournament having lost to North Carolina State four years ago and UAB two years ago. The Lady Bulldogs' only first round win was against St. Peter's in Oregon.

SOUTH CAROLINA Lady Gamecocks
The South Carolina Gamecocks make their first appearance in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament since 1991. The number three seed in the East Region, South Carolina (22-6) will host Cincinnati (26-4), Liberty (23-7) and St. Peter's (25-5) as one of 16 host sites. South Carolina's first and second round games will take place on Saturday and Monday at the Carolina Coliseum. Cincinnati takes on St. Peter's in the first contest Saturday and the 14th-ranked Gamecocks will battle Liberty in the second game. South Carolina looks to rebound from a disappointing loss to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament and will have a healthy roster for the first time in almost two months.

TENNESSEE Lady Volunteers
UT has drawn Georgia State as its First Round opponent in the 2002 NCAA Tournament. GSU is coached by former Tennessee Lady Vol point guard Lea Henry who starred for UT, 1979-83. Henry was a member of the Pat Head Summitt coached 1984 U.S.A. Olympic Team which won the gold medal in Los Angeles. Tennessee has won 38 consecutive NCAA play-off games at home since 1982 (28-0 in NCAA First/Second Rounds and 10-0 in NCAA Mideast Regionals hosted in Knoxville). The average score of an NCAA first/second round game against the Lady Vols in Knoxville does not bode well for the opposition. The Lady Vols defeat its NCAA Tournament opponents in Knoxville by an average score of 85.8-56.1 - or an average victory margin of 29.7 ppg.

VANDERBILT Commodores
Vanderbilt received the No. 1 Seed in the Midwest Region. It is the third time the Commodores have received a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The last time was 1995 when the Commodores were the No. 1 seed in the West. VU lost to No. 4 seed Purdue in the regional semifinal. In 1993, the Commodores were the No. 1 seed in the Midwest and advanced to the Final Four. VU lost to eventual national champion Texas Tech in the semifinal game. VU is making its 15th NCAA Tournament appearance. The Commodores are 18-9 in NCAA Tournament games under Head Coach Jim Foster. Vanderbilt owns an overall record of 498-263 in 25 years of collegiate basketball.

SEC IN 20TH SEASON OF CONFERENCE PLAY
This marked the 20th season of conference play in the SEC. Women's basketball first came under the auspices of the Southeastern Conference for the 1982-83 season. Games played between SEC teams before that time are not counted in the all-time SEC standings, since there was no uniform number of conference games played each season prior to that time.

Since that time, five teams have won the SEC Championship. Tennessee leads with 11 titles, while Georgia is close behind with seven. Auburn has won four titles, with Ole Miss and Kentucky each winning one.

SEC IN THE POLLS

Since the AP poll began in 1983 and the USA Today/ESPN poll in 1986, the SEC has never failed to place at least four members in each of the final polls.

This season, the SEC has had as many as three teams in the AP and USA Today/ESPN Top 10. During the 1996-97, season five league teams graced the AP Top 10 three times.

As many as seven SEC teams have been ranked in the AP poll, and the USA Today/ESPN poll this season. The record for SEC teams ranked is eight. The league did this twice, in the1995-96 season and again during the1996-97 season.

In terms of rankings, the SEC has the richest history of any conference in the nation, boasting more poll appearances than any other. SEC teams have been ranked in the AP poll for 328 consecutive weeks. League teams have been ranked 2,118 times including 1,166 Top 10 appearances and 589 Top Five appearances.

SEC Tournament Notes

Vanderbilt Wins 2002 SEC Tournament
Chantelle Anderson scored 18 points and Zuzi Klimesova added 16 as No. 6 Vanderbilt beat LSU 63-48 Sunday night in the Southeastern Conference tournament championship for its first title since 1995 and third overall.

The Commodores (27-6) also won the tournament title in 1993 and were runners-up to Georgia last year. They will head into the NCAA tournament having won eight of their last nine. Vanderbilt beat LSU three times this season.

Fourth-seeded LSU (17-11) upset third-ranked Tennessee in the semifinals to reach the championship game for first time since winning its only title in 1991. But the Lady Tigers, dressing only seven players, didn't have enough left against Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt's Zuzi Klimesova was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Her teammate Chantelle Anderson along with Shameka Christon (Arkansas), Temeka Johnson (LSU) and Kara Lawson (Tennessee) were named to the All-Tournament team.

The 2002 version of the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament proved to be a huge success. The four-day event drew the second largest crowd in tournament history. A total of 41,888 fans came through the turnstiles.

League Title Doesn't Equal Tourney Title...
If history has been any indication, the regular-season conference champion does not necessarily have the inside track to the tournament championship. In the past 16 years (since the regular season title has been awarded), only six conference champions have won the tournament title in the same season. Tennessee has done it four times (1994, 1998, 1999,2000). Georgia did it in 1986 and Auburn followed in 1987.

...But May Mean A Trip To The Final Four If winning the SEC Tournament title doesn't mean enough, it definitely gives foresight into a team's possible success in the NCAA Tournament as eight SEC tournament champions and six SEC tournament runner-ups have advanced to the Final Four. This statement is probably the truest measure of why the SEC is the nation's premier intercollegiate women's basketball conference. In 2000, Tennessee was co-regular season champion, won the SEC Tournament and went on to play in the National Championship game. In 1999, Georgia used it's outstanding regular season and runner-up performance at the SEC tournament to reach it's fifth Final Four. Tennessee used its performance in winning its eighth tournament title in 1998 to propel to the national championship. Arkansas also reached the Final Four in 1998 after losing in the second round of the conference tournament.

In 1995 and '96 Tennessee and Georgia comprised half of the elite field of four. Vanderbilt danced to the Final Four in 1993, after defeating Georgia in the championship game, as did Alabama in 1994, who suffered a semifinal loss to tournament champion Tennessee.

LSU bounced Tennessee in the 1991 finals but the Lady Vols rebounded to claim their third NCAA title. In back-to-back years, 1988 and 1989, Auburn and Tennesee battled in some classic matchups as the Lady Vols defeated the Tigers in the SEC title game in each season and in the 1989 NCAA championship game.

Postseason Notes

SEC Leads In NCAA Tournament Bids
Once again the SEC leads the nation in NCAA Tournament bids. The SEC is the only conference to ever have eight teams receive NCAA bids. This is the second time the league has achieved this feat, the first being in 1999.

The SEC has previously paced the pack 20 times in the 21-year history of the women's tournament. Last year, the Big 12 edged out the SEC and in 2000 the SEC and Big 12 tied.

The SEC leads all other conferences in all-time NCAA Tournament bids with 128. The next closest is the ACC with 88, followed by the Big Ten with 78.

At least six teams from the SEC have reached the NCAA Tournament in 16 of the last 17 tournaments. The league was also the first to have seven teams receive NCAA bids. The league has earned that dubious honor five times overall. Seven SEC teams danced to the postseason in 1986, 1991, 1995, 1996 and 1997.

SEC Tourney Title = Final Four Berth?
Judging from past performancs, winning the SEC Tournament title definitely gives some foresight into success in the NCAA Tournament as six of the past 12 SEC tournament champions have advanced to the Final Four, including Tennessee in 2000. The Lady Vols also did it in 1998 when they won their eighth SEC Tournament Title and their sixth NCAA title.

UT used its performance in winning its seventh tournament title in 1996 to propel to the national championship. Georgia also made a trip to the Final Four that year after losing in the second round of the conference tournament.

Vanderbilt danced to the Final Four in 1993, after defeating Georgia in the SEC Tournament championship game.

Auburn lost to Stanford in the 1990 national championship game after defeating Tennessee in the SEC tournament final.

Tennessee advanced to the Final Four in 1988 and won its third national championship in 1989 after beating Auburn in the SEC Tournament championship game both years. Auburn also advanced to the Final Four in both seasons.

In 1997, Tennessee won its fifth NCAA championship even though the Lady Vols lost to SEC Tournament champion Auburn in the semifinals of the league tournament. In 1995, Tennessee and Georgia comprised half of the elite field of four after Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt in the finals and Georgia fell to those same Commodores in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Alabama represented the SEC in the 1994 Final Four despite losing in the semifinals of the league tournament.

At Every NCAA Tournament
Tennessee and Louisiana Tech are the only two teams in the nation to grace the bracket of every NCAA Tournament since 1982. Georgia has been to 19 of 21 Big Dances. Vanderbilt and Auburn have appeared in 15 of the 21 tournaments, although the Tigers have missed the last two. Ole Miss has made it to 14.

Six Have Made It To Final Four
Six different SEC squads have appeared at the NCAA Final Four since it began in 1982. Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Vanderbilt have all made the elite field of four. The ACC has placed five while the Big Ten has placed four.

SEC First With Four In Final Four
In 1996, the SEC became the first conference to have two teams participate in both the women's and men's Final Four in the same season. Georgia and Tennessee women's teams advanced to Charlotte in 1996, while Kentucky and Mississippi State made up half the field of four on the men's side.

The 1996 Final Four marked the second time two SEC women's teams played for the national title. The first happening occurred in 1989 when Tennessee defeated Auburn 76-60 in Tacoma, Wash.

Leader in the Final Four
In the last 12 years (1990-2001), the SEC's 13 Final Four appearances is the most by any conference during that span. The Big East is second with eight while the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-10 are third with six teams each.

The 2001 season was only the second time that the SEC did not have at least one team in the Final Four. The last time that happened was 1992.

Half of the SEC's teams have made it to the Final Four (Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt).

Overall, the SEC rules with 23 appearances. The next closest are the ACC and Sun Belt with eight each.

Below is a look at the top conference is the past 12 years.
