According to Tennessee Athletics, Tennessee Women’s Basketball Head Coach Kim Caldwell shared her program’s non-conference schedule on Tuesday, and her Lady Vols are set to face six teams that played in last season’s NCAA Tournament.
Among them are 2024 NCAA Final Four participants UConn and Iowa. The Huskies are #3 in ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25, and they will join #18 Florida State as ranked non-league teams playing at Food City Center this season. UT, meanwhile, will face last season’s national runner-up Hawkeyes at the Women’s Champions Classic in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Tennessee also squares off vs. three in-state schools outside of league play, including 2024 NCAA qualifiers Middle Tennessee and UT Martin at home. They’ll also visit Memphis in a contest played vs. the Tigers at FedExForum.
The Lady Vols take the floor for their first contest on Oct. 31, as Carson-Newman comes to town for an exhibition. Tennessee will open the regular season with Samford on Nov. 5th. Lady Vols basketball games can be heard on MIX 99.3
