Game Thread: #11 Lady Vols at #15 Kentucky. Thursday, Feb. 27, 7pm ET, SECN.

[Orange.]

I expect Brooks to use his timeouts wisely and challenge anything he can to slow it down. Especially in the 4th

Let's hope the refs don't that second part for him without him even initiating it.

Haven’t been this anxious since the Oklahoma game! Both new coaches in the SEC, I hope Kim gets her revenge for that NCAA loss to Kenny last year! 🩵

Going a tough game. Hopefully our shooting percentage is good. We have to be able to press and Run. VOLS in a close one. We need to keep the Volunteers win streak going.

GAMEDAY! Let’s go Lady Vols!

Does anyone know the last time we beat a top 15 team at their place?

I find this really interesting. Herhoops is not impressed with UK - they are ranked #31 there. We are ranked #8.

I could be wrong about this, but the most recent top 15 road win for us was @ #13 Georgia in the 2021-2022 season. The last one prior to that was @ #15 Indiana the season before. So it's definitely been a while!

Sounds right! Thank you!

Going to be a tough one there. I'm preparing myself for a loss just so I won't be too disappointed if they lose but of course hoping for a win. With the way they play now, good runs for a double digit lead then a period of reckless play and standing around doing nothing and let the other team catch back up, its going down to wire I believe.

Sam Gore (play-by-play) and Tamika Catchings (analyst) will have the TV broadcast call for SEC Network.

Lady Vol Network stations and audio stream will feature Brian Rice on play-by-play and Jay Lifford as studio host.

UTsports has the deets on this series history.

Tennessee leads the all-time series, 61-16, and the Lady Vols carry a four-game winning streak vs. UK into Thursday night's contest.

Tennessee has won six of the past eight over Kentucky, but the Wildcats have split their last four at home with the Big Orange.

The Lady Vols own a 22-10 mark vs. the Wildcats in Lexington. We are 27-4 against KY in Knoxville, and 12-2 at neutral sites.

Tennessee is 9-3 in SEC Tournament games vs. UK.

UT is 3-1 in overtime games vs. Kentucky, including 3-0 in Lexington.

Lady Vol staff members who were also part of that MU-VT match-up with Caldwell last year include: current assistant coaches Jenna Burdette and Angel Rizor and graduate assistants Mashayla Cecil and Maggie Stanley.

Hammer the Wildcats!

Oh you just know they want payback ! I know I sure would. Just hope the refs don't have a influence on the game. We need to run Run and Run. Don't need a bunch of silly stoppages. Just win Lady VOLS

I have to agree with this.

Kentucky is a higher IQ team and playing at home today. They will make you pay for mistakes.

I hope our girls show that they’ve turned a corner.

All is not lost if we lose.
