Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell and guard Jewel Spear spoke to the media in Knoxville ahead of their game against UConn on Thursday evening in the Food City Center.

The Huskies have won four straight over the Lady Vols since the 2020 season but haven’t faced a Caldwell-led team at Tennessee quite yet. UConn leads the historic rivalry 17-9.

UConn presents another massive challenge for Tennessee in a season in which the Lady Vols have already faced No. 9 Oklahoma, No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Texas, and No. 2 South Carolina. The Huskies are ranked No. 5 in the country and have a 21-2 record on the year.

During her seven-minute press conference on Tuesday, Caldwell spoke about improvements she wants to see from her team during the game, her view of the rivalry growing up, Talaysia Cooper’s involvement, and more.

No. 19 Tennessee will host No. 5 UConn at 6:30 p.m. ET on Thursday evening in the Food City Center.
