The Lady Vols are the latest to press the pause button.

Due to a combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Tennessee women’s basketball program, the Tennessee at Texas A&M game on Thursday night and the Kentucky at Tennessee contest on Sunday afternoon have been postponed.

The decision, which was announced Tuesday afternoon by the Southeastern Conference, is consistent with the league’s COVID-19 management requirements.

Tennessee improved to 6-1 Monday night with a 77-52 win over Lipscomb.
