Thursday Night Must-See TV
One league contest and one non-conference tilt are on the docket for Thursday night. No. 18/21 DePaul (8-3, 5-1 BIG EAST) eyes its fourth straight win when it visits Butler (1-9, 1-8) at 7 p.m. ET. That game will stream live on the BIG EAST Digital Network presented by SoFi, available on FloSports. The Bulldogs will look to shake off a loss at No. 3/5 UConn which saw promising play from Okako Adika who matched the game high with 18 points. The Blue Demons last played on Jan. 16, scoring a road win over Georgetown thanks in part to a game-high 26 points from Sonya Morris. WATCH: DePaul at Butler
 
Non-league action features arguably the most historic rivalry in women’s college basketball as No. 3/5 UConn travels to No. 25/rv Tennessee for the first time since 2006.

UConn (8-0, 7-0 BIG EAST) is coming off a win over Butler on Tuesday and remains one of seven remaining undefeated teams in Division I. The Lady Vols are 9-2 on the year, coming of a win over Alabama on Sunday. UConn head coach Geno Auriemma passed legendary Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt in career wins on Tuesday night. He eyes career win No. 1,100 on Thursday. UConn is 14-9 all-time vs. Tennessee.
