South Carolina and Tennessee are two of the preeminent programs in women’s college basketball.

The Lady Vols are one of the sport’s historic titans, with eight NCAA championships and some of the game’s most iconic figures to their name. Under coach Dawn Staley, the Gamecocks are the modern-day juggernaut, with three titles in the past seven NCAA tournaments, including two of the last three.

This week, they’ll take the court to face off against one another.

South Carolina will put its undefeated SEC record on the line Monday night when it travels to Tennessee in a matchup of ranked teams.

The No. 2 Gamecocks have largely picked up where they left off from their championship-winning 2023-24 season, with a 19-1 record heading into the game against the Lady Vols. Since a Nov. 24 loss at No. 2 UCLA, South Carolina has won 14 consecutive games, including seven wins in SEC play that have been decided by an average of 26.4 points. That run was capped off last Friday by a 66-56 victory against No. 4 LSU in front of a raucous home crowd at Colonial Life Arena.

Whether it can continue that run against an improved Tennessee program remains to be seen.

Over the past decade, the Lady Vols have dipped from the championship heights they reached under the legendary Pat Summitt. This season, though, there has been a renewed sense of hope under first-year head coach Kim Caldwell, who led Tennessee to a 13-0 start behind a fast-paced, high-scoring offense. Things have been more difficult lately, though, with four losses in the past six games. Caldwell, who missed a loss at Texas last Thursday after giving birth to a son three days earlier, said she plans on coaching against South Carolina.

South Carolina vs Tennessee predictions

Here is how Lulu Kesin of The Greenville News predicts the game to play out:

Lulu Kesin, The Greenville News: South Carolina 95, Tennessee 83

The Lady Vols score at a high clip but the Gamecocks’ discipline and defensive effort is too strong of a wall to break through.

Here is how Cora Hall of the Knoxville News-Sentinel believes the game will go:

Cora Hall, Knoxville News-Sentinel: South Carolina 79, Tennessee 72

The Lady Vols will be competitive, but they haven’t shown yet that they can get across the finish line against great teams. Tennessee will give South Carolina a run for its money, but the Gamecocks’ depth will be too much to overcome.
