Notre Dame women's basketball will face a ranked team tonight for the second time early this season. The No. 18 Irish were waxed in the season opener to eventual-No. 1 South Carolina, 100-71, in Paris.
Now Notre Dame gets to test its mettle at No. 20 Tennessee (4-2) in the inaugural ACC/SEC Challenge. The Lady Vols have a one-point loss at No. 15 Florida State and a 14-point loss to No. 17 Indiana in Fort Myers, Fla., on their record this season.
Forward Rickea Jackson, who leads Tennessee in scoring (22 points and 12 rebounds per game), is not expected to play tonight.
In her absence Tennessee is led in scoring by 6-foot-2 guard/forward Sara Puckett (15.0) and and 5-10 guard Jewel Spear (13.5). The Lady Vols rank No. 4 in Division I in rebounding with 50.17 per game. They're No. 9 in offensive rebounds per game (18.5) and No. 11 in defensive rebounds per game (31.7)
Notre Dame will be without All-ACC guards Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron.
