Texas A&M heads to Knoxville, Tenn. for a key game in the race for SEC Tournament seeding, taking on No. 24 Tennessee in a women's basketball game at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The game is broadcast on ESPNU, with gold-medal broadcasters Paul Sunderland and Nell Fortner on the call. Authenticated subscribers can access the game online on WatchESPN and the ESPN app on computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and other connected devices. Tom Turbiville and Steve Miller bring listeners the radio call on The Zone 1150 AM/102.7 FM in Bryan-College Station, and worldwide on 12thMan.com.

The Aggies have won three straight home games, and have now won four of their last five games, putting the Aggies alone in third place in the conference standings. A win in this game would put the Aggies two games ahead of Tennessee in the race for the double-bye in the SEC Tournament, but a loss would pull the Lady Vols even with the Aggies.

The Aggies are 2-1 against AP Top 25 teams this season, with all three of those games coming away-from-home. The two teams that have the best winning percentage all-time in SEC games split the two matchups last season, with Texas A&M winning 76-71 in Reed Arena in the regular season, but Tennessee scoring a 70-60 victory in the SEC Tournament Quarterfinals.

Diamond DeShiields leads the Lady Vols with 18.5 points per game, followed by Mercedes Russell (16.7) and Jaime Nared (15.8). The Lady Vols have won five of their last six contests, including a win at No. 4 South Carolina.

After this game, the Aggies go to LSU on Thursday, February 16, then return to Reed Arena to host No. 4 Mississippi State on Sunday, February 19.
