No. 9 Texas A&M heads to No. 8 Tennessee in for a Top 10 women's basketball showdown within the SEC on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.
Paul Sunderland, Carolyn Peck and Steffi Sorensen bring viewers the call on SEC Network and SEC Network Plus. Fans can also listen to Bret Dark and Steve Miller on the Texas A&M Sports Network, the Radio Aggieland app or locally on 1150 AM with the radio call of the game.
The Aggies have started 2-0 in SEC play for the third consecutive year, thanks to Achiri Ade's buzzer-beating put-back to win 52-50 at Arkansas in A&M's last game. Ade enters this game with two consecutive double doubles.
Tennessee is coming off of an eight-point win at Vanderbilt on Monday, their eighth consecutive win. The Lady Vols have three players averaging at least 10.0 points per game: Ariel Massengale (11.8), Isabelle Harrison (10.3) and Bashaara Graves (10.0).
The Lady Vols won the teams' last meeting, 86-77 in the 2014 SEC Tournament semifinals, a game that was tied with just over three minutes to play before Tennessee made a run. In fact, the teams have met three times in the NCAA and SEC Tournaments (and six times overall), and all three of the postseason matchups have been tied with four minutes or fewer to play.
After this game, the Aggies return home on Sunday, January 11 at noon to host LSU in the 40 Years of Women's Basketball Anniversary game on ESPNU.
