Since Tennessee began playing in Thompson-Boling Arena in 1987, the Lady Vols have lost just 11 games.
But as impressive as Tennessee's 227-11 home record is, the Lady Vols' postseason mark is even more mind-boggling.
Pat Summitt's teams are 44-0 at home in NCAA Tournament games, and haven't lost a home game in the postseason since 1979 against Old Dominion in the AIAW tournament.
Including Tennessee's 73-49 victory over second-seeded Villanova on Monday in the Elite Eight, the Lady Vols have won 20 consecutive games at Thompson-Boling. Tennessee hasn't lost at home since falling 69-66 to Texas on Feb. 12, 2002.
Tennessee finally has to pack its bag now as the Lady Vols move on to the Final Four in Atlanta.
