The Lady Vols are back on their home court for the third time in just five days. Tennessee, ranked No. 21 with a 16-8 record (8-4 in the SEC), is set to host Texas A&M, who stand at 10-11 (3-9 in the SEC), at the Food City Center.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.
Tennessee is looking to rebound after a tough road loss to Ole Miss, where they fell 94-81. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has been building some momentum, winning two of their last three games, including a notable victory over No. 24 Alabama.
This matchup marks Tennessee's last game against an unranked opponent in the regular season. Following this, the Lady Vols face a challenging road stretch against No.
9 Oklahoma and No. 7 LSU, before returning home to conclude the regular season against No.
6 Vanderbilt.
The Lady Vols have faced a rough patch recently, dropping five of their last seven games. This includes some tough losses, but they showed resilience by narrowing a 26-point deficit at Ole Miss. Their victories during this period came against Georgia and Missouri.
A key storyline is the absence of starting point guard Mia Pauldo, who will miss her fourth consecutive game due to an injury from the South Carolina matchup. Pauldo has been instrumental for Tennessee, averaging 11.6 points per game, which increases to 14.4 in SEC play, along with notable contributions in rebounds, assists, and steals.
As the Lady Vols prepare for Texas A&M, fans will be eager to see how they adjust without Pauldo and whether they can capitalize on home-court advantage to get back on track.
