That spree also began vs. Auburn in 2014.  In the #18/18 Bulldogs, Tennessee is facing its ninth game vs. a top-25 team this season and its fourth in the last five contests.  The Lady Vols are 6-2 vs. ranked foes in 2014-15, including 4-2 vs. top-10 teams.  The game will be televised by the SEC Network, with Cara Capuano and Steffi Sorensen on hand to call the action.  The contest also can be seen online via WatchESPN.
