Indiana Women's Basketball to Play Tennessee Thanksgiving Day on FOX National Broadcast

Indiana women's basketball will be participating in the Elevance Health Women's Fort Myers Tip-Off this Thanksgiving. The Hoosiers will play the Tennessee Volunteers on Thanksgiving Day, broadcast nationally on FOX, followed by a matchup with Princeton on Nov. 25.

The Indiana women's basketball team will be front and center on Thanksgiving Day.

Coach Teri Moren's squad will participate in the Elevance Health Women's Fort Myers Tip-Off at Suncoast Credit Union Arena, according to a Tuesday press release. Indiana will play the Tennessee Volunteers on Nov. 23 at 6 p.m. ET, followed by a matchup against Princeton on Nov. 25 at 11 a.m. ET.

Indiana's game against Tennessee on Thanksgiving is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on FOX, a nationally-televised broadcast. This matchup is the third leg of FOX's Thanksgiving broadcast schedule, which begins with an NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions at 12:30 p.m. ET, followed by a men's college basketball game between Arizona and Michigan State, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET.

The event will also include Wisconsin, Marquette, Boston College, Princeton, Oklahoma and Arkansas. 

Indiana versus Tennessee will be an elite matchup early in the women's college basketball season. Indiana was ranked No. 5 overall in the ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2023-24, and Tennessee clocked in as the No. 11 overall-ranked team in the country. 

Tennessee entered the 2023 NCAA Tournament as a 4-seed and lost to 1-seed Virginia Tech in Sweet 16. The Hoosiers also received a 1-seed in the tournament, but ended their season with a Round-of-32 upset loss to the No. 9 seed Miami Hurricanes. 

Indiana made the trip down to Knoxville last year for its third game of the season and defeated Tennessee 79-67 in front of a packed Thompson-Boling Arena. The Hoosiers won that game behind a balanced scoring attack, as five different players — Grace Berger, Mackenzie Holmes, Sara Scalia, Chloe Moore-McNeil and Sydney Parrish — reached double-digits in the scoring column. 

Indiana will then face Princeton in the second matchup of the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Nov. 25. Princeton won the Ivy League a year ago and earned a 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament, ultimately bowing out to 2-seed Utah in the Round-of-32.
