Tennessee Volunteers women's basketball team has a massive opportunity against the South Carolina Gamecocks.

The Tennessee Volunteers women's basketball team have had a tough go as of late. They have lost three of their last five and have lost two games in a row after dropping their game agains Texas last week. Now they have a massive opportunity Monday evening as they face off against No. 2 South Carolina at home.

There's arguably not a hotter team in women's college basketball right now than the Gamecocks. They're 7-0 in conference play and are fresh off of a 10-point win over LSU, who at the time was undefeated on the season. They have now won 14-straight games by 10 or more points, a program record.

Tennessee head coach Kim Caldwell missed the Texas game after giving birth to her son but announced that she will be returning to the team. An important return for Caldwell as her team could earn a major resume booster.

Following the game against South Carolina, Tennessee will matchup against Missouri, No. 6 UConn, No. 5 LSU and then Auburn after that. A win against the Gamecocks is the first priority, but this next window of games for the Volunteers will have major implications on their season.
