AUSTIN, Texas — The NCAA Women's Basketball Committee created a juicy matchup in the upper-right quadrant for basketball fans in the state of Tennessee.
Middle Tennessee (17-7), the No. 14 seed in the River Walk Region, will take on three-seed Tennessee (16-7) in the first round at 1 p.m. CT Sunday at the University of Texas' Frank Erwin Center.
The game will be broadcast nationally on ABC.
"As it started winding down and I saw that there was a chance we would be playing Tennessee, probably the first thing I thought about was Pat [Summit], if you want to know the truth," MT head coach Rick Insell said.
