GREENSBORO, N.C. (Interstat) — Two women’s basketball programs looking to start anew will open their seasons Tuesday when the Tennessee Lady Volunteers visit the North Carolina State Wolfpack at Corbett Sports Center.

Both teams enter the 2025-26 campaign with 0-0 records, seeking to move past season-ending losses in March. Tennessee’s last outing was a 67-59 defeat to Texas in the NCAA Tournament on March 29, 2025. North Carolina State also fell in its finale, an 80-73 loss to LSU on March 28, 2025.

The non-conference matchup provides an early test for both squads. For the Lady Volunteers, it begins a challenging opening month that includes future road games at UCLA and Stanford. The Wolfpack, meanwhile, will face a gauntlet of power conference opponents, including Southern California and Oklahoma, in November and December.

Tuesday’s contest marks the first time these storied programs have met to open a season. The game in Greensboro offers an immediate opportunity for both teams to establish a new identity and build momentum before entering their respective conference schedules.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST.
