Notes
- The Lady Toppers will be one of the youngest teams in the country this season with six true freshmen plus a redshirt freshman, the most rookies for a Lady Topper team since the 2011-12 season. On Saturday, WKU will have only three players who saw action last season in Meral Abdelgawad, Fatou Pouye and Mariah Haywood.
- With only one returning starter and three total veterans, the Lady Toppers bring back only 17.4% of its offensive production from 2019-20.
- WKU and Tennessee have met eight times in series history. The Lady Volunteers have won seven of those matchups. The Lady Toppers lone win came in the second round of the 1992 NCAA Tournament that sparked a WKU run to the Championship Game. Of the eight contests between the two programs, four have been in the NCAA Tournament. The last meeting was in the second round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament.
- Saturday's matchup will be between two of women's college basketball winningest programs. Tennessee has the most all-time wins of any Division I program with 1,384. WKU ranks 11th all-time with 1,026 victories.
- The Lady Toppers are 35-12 in season openers in the program's 58-year history. WKU has opened the season with a Power Five team in four straight seasons, defeating Missouri in 2017 and opening against Louisville in 2018 and 2019.
