The Lady Vols basketball team returns to their home court after a pair of road games, preparing to take on the reigning national champions. No. 17 Tennessee (15-4, 3-4 SEC) is set to face No. 2 South Carolina (19-1, 7-0) at Food City Center on Monday.
The Lady Vols are looking to bounce back from a narrow four-point defeat to No. 7 Texas on Thursday, while South Carolina is riding high after handing No. 4 LSU their first loss of the season with a 66-56 victory on Friday.
The Gamecocks have been unstoppable since their early-season loss to UCLA in nonconference action. Their toughest challenge since then came on Friday, where they edged out No. 4 LSU by 10 points. In SEC play, South Carolina has dominated opponents, winning by an average margin of 26.4 points, including two emphatic 41-point victories, one of which was against then-No. 13 Oklahoma.

Despite this setback, Tennessee boasts a powerful offense, outscoring opponents by an average of 24.0 points per game. They rank first in the nation in scoring, averaging 93.4 points per game, but their defense leaves room for improvement, as they allow 69.4 points per contest, ranking 294th nationally.
Meanwhile, Talaysia Cooper, who began her collegiate career at South Carolina but transferred to Tennessee after averaging just 8.4 minutes per game in her freshman season, has emerged as a key player for the Lady Vols. Although she had to sit out last year due to transferring outside the immediate eligibility window, she now leads the team with 17.8 points per game, adding 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 3.3 steals to her impressive stat line.
