KNOXVILLE – Tennessee enters the NCAA Tournament as the No. 7 overall seed and will host the Knoxville Regional at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium for the 23rd time in program history and the 22nd consecutive season. Despite falling to Ole Miss in the opening round of the SEC Tournament, the Lady Vols did enough to remain on the Top 8 national seed line and secure home field advantage throughout Super Regionals.
Tennessee opens its run tonight against Horizon League champion Northern Kentucky, which comes to Knoxville with a 26-23 record and an 11-7 mark in conference play. Indiana and Virginia round out the field as games begin this evening and continue through Sunday.
The Lady Vols take the field at 5:30 p.m. ET on SEC Network to face the Norse. Virginia and Indiana will follow at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
The winner of the Knoxville Regional will advance to face the winner of the Athens Regional, which features No. 10 national seed Georgia along with Clemson, College of Charleston, and UNC Greensboro.
