Pre Game Information

The Tennessee Lady Vols are set for another favorable matchup, as they take on New Haven, a team that has started the season undefeated but has only played one game thus far, while the Lady Vols have won a game both at home and on the road, bringing their record to 2-0 thus far. This is a game that will feature talent on both sides of the court, but there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the talent Kim Caldwell will be coaching tonight looks better on paper.

The Lady Vols played two games last week, as they defeated Duquesne with a 109-point offensive night. The star of that game was Kaylene Smikle, who has served as one of the very best players in the entire country, which also showed in the 98-point offensive team effort vs. Coppin State. Smikle was a star in that game as well, which earned her a weekly honor, as she was named the first Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA) Women's Basketball Player of the Week of the season.

Across the court, New Haven will be relying on Tanavia Turpin and Teaira Kelley. Both players scored over 20 points in their performance, solidifying their offensive talent with a 103-point offensive output in a win over Mitchell.

This sets some high expectations for their season, but even still, this is a test that they will have to come prepared for.

This game takes place inside the Food City Center, as it is the first of two games that the Lady Vols will play before the weekend arrives, and the Lady Vols also play a game on Thursday. This leaves the Lady Vols with the hopes of getting a win in a dominant performance that doesn't expose any flaws that they may have.
