If you know, you know.

No way to view the game that I’m aware. Only news last year came out cryptically the week following the game. No presser. It’s part of the tradition. Kind of a wink, wink deal. I chose to believe it is a memorial to JB McClendon. You talk about it publicly and you lose your right to participate.

LOL! But seriously, I don't know. What does IYKYK mean?

I applied my superior knowledge and came up with the correct answer...

Lady Vols Basketball to Play Strong ACC Program in Preseason Scrimmage​

The Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team is set to play a closed scrimmage against the North Carolina Tar Heels. This event is part of the preseason schedule for the 2025-26 season. The Lady Vols head coach, Courtney Banghart, has confirmed the scrimmage, which will take place behind closed doors. The exact location of the scrimmage has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be a competitive matchup against a strong ACC program. The Lady Vols have a history of success in the ACC, and this scrimmage will be a significant opportunity for them to test their skills against a top-tier opponent.


I don't see the point in making it this secretive. Want name a location or a date but I know someone will find out they can't keep it hid forever.

These happen every year in college ball with no spectators. There's no secret. They played NC last yr as well.

 

[Higbee]

Last time I checked, Courtney Banghart is not Lady Vols head coach

 

[madtownvol]

SHHHHHH!!!!!!!

 

[1reVOLver]

SHHHHHH!i!!ttt!!

I thought it was NC State. Understood we won but no particulars were released per the rules.

I thought it was NC State. Understood we won but no particulars were released per the rules.

It was reported last year that we had won 96-79 over #15 preseason UNC

IYKYK = If You Know You Know

 

[Voluble2]

IYKYK then YKYK. YK?

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Tennessee dominated UNC last preseason in a scrimmage. I wouldn’t expect a lot different this time but perhaps we hold out some of starters with the early ranked non-conference games this season. You might get a lot of action from the 2025 freshmen class in this game. They don’t need to focus on winning it.. everyone knows the LVs can beat UNC.

@RespectAPA is correct. Here's the VolNation thread from last year:

Lady Vols beat a RANKED team in scrimmage

This makes me excited!!! UNC is definitely over ranked but a 20 point win makes me excited!!! Hoping we get some “secret” stats soon 😂

NCAA rules. You’re allowed to hold scrimmages against other D1 teams, but they cannot be publicized or open to the public and results and stats cannot be released.

She gets around!

 

[stllvf]

off topic partially, but the LVs DID NOT play Duke, because I came across a video of their game against the practice squad and Cameron was full of spectators, and the practice squad had excellent players.

and given that the LVs open their season with NC State I feel sure that the scrimmage will not be with that team either.

 

[Mafiaboss]

Hush.

Kill joy!
