FORT WORTH, Texas - The Lady Frogs (10-11, 3-5 C-USA) head to historic Thompson-Boling Arena to take on the third-ranked Lady Vols of Tennessee (20-3, 9-0 SEC). This will be the second meeting between the two schools. The first contest came on Nov. 27, 2000 before a packed Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. The Lady Vols captured the 83-61 win.

This is sixth top 25 team the Lady Frogs have played this season, and the third top 10 squad. TCU upset ninth-ranked Vanderbilt on Dec. 28. The Lady Frogs are 1-3 against top 10 teams.

Gwen Jackson leads the Lady Vols with 16.0 points per game, while Kara Lawson is also averaging in double-figures (13.9). Leading the squad in assists and steals is Loree Moore, who has numbered 107 and 69, respectively.

Ashley Robinson paces Tennessee on the boards as she is averaging just over six per contest. She also has tallied 43 blocks this season to lead the team in that category.

The Lady Vols are on an 11-game winning streak, having not lost since falling to UConn in overtime on Jan. 4.
