The Lady Vols' first matchup will be with Texas A&M, the 16-seed. The Aggies finish last in the SEC after a 3-13 season in SEC play.

Tip-off is set for Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET on SEC Network.

The last time Tennessee played Texas A&M was its opening game of SEC play. On Jan. 2 in College Station, the Lady Vols trounced the Aggies 91-78. Jewel Spear led Tennessee with 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting from the field.

If the Lady Vols survive the opening game, they'll play the first game of day two, as well. This time, 8-seed Vanderbilt stands in their way.

Tip-off is set for Thursday at 11 a.m. ET on SEC Network.

The last time Tennessee played the Commodores was a loss. The Lady Vols went to Nashville and fell at the buzzer, 71-70, on Jan. 19. Talaysia Cooper led Tennessee in scoring with 22 points on 10-for-22 shooting from the field.

If Tennessee can make its way to the quarterfinals, it'd be top-seed South Carolina. The Gamecocks tied for first with Texas but won a coin flip for seeding. That game is scheduled for Friday at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN.

South Carolina beat the Lady Vols 70-63 in Knoxville on Jan. 27. Tennessee was led by Ruby Whitehorn's 12 points.

Likely semifinal opponents are 4-seed Kentucky and 5-seed Oklahoma. Top teams that'd line up for a championship game are 2-seed Texas and 3-seed LSU.

Tennessee is currently projected as a 4-seed in the NCAA Tournament but may drop to the 5-seed line following its losses to Kentucky and Georgia.
