A sellout crowd of 4,560 fans packed the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center on Nov. 9 as the Tennessee Lady Vols women’s basketball team played its first game at UT Martin since 1997. Fans got to enjoy a riveting game that was tied at halftime before the No. 8-ranked Tennessee squad won by a 72-61 margin. Branded as the Pat Summitt Heritage Classic, the game celebrated the history and tradition of the Skyhawk women’s basketball program and recognized Bettye Giles with an on-court presentation that brought the crowd to its feet for a prolonged standing ovation.
