KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — No. 5/4 Tennessee plays its lone exhibition game of 2022-23 on Sunday afternoon, as Carson-Newman travels from Jefferson City to Thompson-Boling Arena to take on the Lady Vols. Tip-off is slated for 2:02 p.m., with the contest being streamed on SECN+.
This will mark the 17th occasion the teams have met in preseason play, with UT holding a 16-0 mark in the previous exhibition contests between the schools. UT is 50-4 in exhibition games after defeating Georgia College last season, 108-44, on Nov. 3.
Kellie Harper begins season four at the helm of the Big Orange with what looks to be one of the deepest, most talented teams in recent history on Rocky Top.
After Sunday’s game, the Lady Vols will have a little over a week to prepare for their regular-season opener on Nov. 8, as they travel to Columbus to face defending Big Ten champ and No. 14/15 Ohio State at Value City Arena. That game will serve as a homecoming for UT senior Jordan Horston, who prepped at Africentric Early College in Ohio’s state capital.
Tennessee’s home opener will come on Nov. 10, as UMass visits Rocky Top, followed by a Nov. 12 tussle in Knoxville with No. 11/11 Indiana.
