KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee will face Connecticut, Notre Dame and Stanford all on the road in the Lady Volunteers' first season under new coach Kellie Harper.

The Lady Vols play at NCAA Tournament runner-up Notre Dame on Nov. 11 and visit Stanford on Dec. 18. Tennessee will open Harper's coaching tenure by visiting East Tennessee State on Nov. 5.

Tennessee's home opponents include Central Arkansas (Nov. 7), Tennessee State (Nov. 14), Stetson (Nov. 19), Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov. 26), Air Force (Dec. 1), Texas (Dec. 8), Colorado State (Dec. 11) and Howard (Dec. 29). The Lady Vols visit Portland State on Dec. 21.
