"With the Conference USA Tournament in Huntsville this year, we wanted to introduce our fans to this great city and thanks to Tennessee, we are able to create a terrific showcase for women's basketball," said Director of Athletics Chris Massaro. "It gives our women's team a meaningful game in the same arena as our conference tournament."

"This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the talent and passion for women's basketball in the State of Tennessee," said Head Coach Rick Insell. "Year in and year out, these are two of the top programs in the country and the most devoted fanbases in our state. I want to thank Kellie Harper for renewing this rivalry."
