Tennessee (5-5) v Wright State (1-7; 0-2 Horizon League)
The contest marks the Lady Vols' fifth of a six-game home stand and a stretch of nine out of 11 on The Summitt between Nov. 25 and Jan. 5. Coach Kellie Harper's squad enters having won three of its last four contests, taking down Chattanooga by a 69-39 count Tuesday evening on the UT campus.
Tennessee played that game without two starters and a key reserve, as senior forward Rickea Jackson remained out due to coach's decision, graduate forward Jasmine Franklin was inactive for her second game while in concussion protocol and senior center Tamari Key missed the first game ever in her career for what was later announced as the discovery of blood clots in her lungs after additional testing on Tuesday. She has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.
Wright State arrives on Rocky Top as part of a two-game road swing. The Raiders were in Huntington, W.Va., on Friday night, where they suffered a 72-47 defeat at the hands of the Marshall Thundering Herd. WSU enters Sunday's tilt with an 0-5 record in road games this season.
This will mark the first-ever meeting between these schools in women's basketball.
