Everyone loves a good in-state rivalry. Women's basketball gets its own when Tennessee visits MTSU on Thursday.
These programs have a long and lopsided history, dating back to 1971. The Lady Vols have won all but once when the Blue Raiders earned their first win of the rivalry in 2023. Can MTSU do the unthinkable again?
The Blue Raiders have home court advantage in this year's matchup for the first time since 2013. If history has anything to say, though, it won't matter against 15th-ranked Tennessee.
The Vols lost their season-opener against NC State but followed it up with three straight victories. MTSU shouldn't be any trouble in comparison as it's on a two-game losing streak entering Thursday's rivalry game.
Regardless of expectations, the play on the court will speak for itself. To see the rivalry go down, here's how you can watch the Tennessee vs. MTSU women's basketball game.
