Women's Basketball Slated to Host Vanderbilt in SEC/ACC Challenge

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami women’s basketball is set to host Vanderbilt Wednesday, Dec. 4 in the second edition of the SEC/ACC Challenge as announced Wednesday afternoon.

The matchup’s time and network designation is to be announced at a later date. 

Miami defeated No. 21 Mississippi State, 74-68, in Starkville, Miss., in last season’s SEC/ACC Challenge. Guard Lemyah Hylton went 3-for-6 from three-point range for a team-high 16 points. 

Vanderbilt went 23-10 (9-7 SEC) in the 2023-24 season, earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. It was Vandy’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since the 2013-14 season. 

The Canes enter the first year of the Tricia Cullop era after she was officially tabbed as the eighth head coach in program history April 5. Cullop arrives in Coral Gables with an impressive 476-279 career record in 24 seasons as a head coach at the Division I level.

The Canes and Commodores have played each other three times, with Miami leading the all-time series, 2-1. This is the first meeting between the two teams since December of 2018 and the first at the Watsco Center since 2003. 

The remainder of the 2024-25 campaign will be released at a later date.
