Lady Vols Face Ultimate SEC Road Test vs. No. 3 South Carolina

The No. 17 Tennessee Lady Vols are set to play their third consecutive road game, facing a formidable opponent in No. 3 South Carolina on February 8th. This highly anticipated SEC matchup will take place at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina.

South Carolina boasts arguably the best frontcourt in the SEC, featuring Joyce Edwards and Madina Okot. Edwards, averaging 20.4 points and 1.9 steals, and Okot, with 13.3 points and 10 rebounds, present a significant challenge for Tennessee's defense. Their combined impact makes them a matchup nightmare.

Tennessee's ability to secure possessions through rebounding will be vital. After struggling with rebounding in previous games, the Lady Vols secured a win against Georgia by outrebounding them. They must win this category against South Carolina to have a chance at an upset.
