Lady Vols guard Avery Strickland entered the transfer portal. She's the first Tennessee player to enter the portal after Kim Caldwell's first season.

Tennessee has rewarded women's basketball coach Kim Caldwell with a one-year extension through the end of the 2029-30 season that includes a pay raise after she took the Lady Vols to the Sweet 16 in her first year.

Tennessee announced it reached a five-year contract extension with Caldwell on Monday, just two days after the Lady Vols were eliminated in the Sweet 16 of the women’s NCAA tournament. Caldwell will now be under contract with Tennessee through the 2030 campaign.
