Rescheduling and make-up games already made for a brutal stretch for the Tennessee Lady Vols coming off their second missed week due to a COVID outbreak. On Thursday, before they are set to begin that stretch, the SEC made it worse.

Initially, thanks to UT’s twice postponed matchup with the Texas A&M Aggies being set for Sunday, Feb. 14, Kellie Harper’s team was set to begin a stretch of four straight games against top 25 teams, three of which were on the road and two of which were against top 10 teams.
