tennessee vs oklahoma TV schedule unclear
Pre-game listings and a headline asking "What channel is Tennessee Lady Vols basketball vs Oklahoma on today? Time, TV schedule" appeared among recent coverage, but the game recap itself does not provide channel or time-of-telecast details. At this time, exact broadcast information for the matchup is unclear in the available material.
What this means next
The Volunteers have won three straight and seven of their last eight games; they will play at No. 19 Vanderbilt on Saturday. That upcoming game is the next observable event tied to Tennessee's trajectory. If Tennessee sustains the offensive efficiency shown in this game — 52% shooting and heavy scoring off turnovers — the team enters the Vanderbilt trip with momentum. Oklahoma, meanwhile, must address the turnover issue made clear here if it hopes to stop recent skid patterns.
