After playing without star freshman point guard Mia Pauldo for a pair of games, Lady Vols basketball will be without her for a third matchup on Tuesday. She is listed as out on the availability report<\/a> for Ole Miss. Nya Robertson is also listed as questionable.<\/p>\n

In the two contests without Pauldo, Tennessee hammered Missouri and fell narrowly to a top-five Texas squad. As a result, the Lady Vols moved ahead one spot to No. 21 in the country. Now, they\u2019ll face the No. 17 Ole Miss on Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and would air on ESPNU.<\/p>\n

Pauldo has emerged as one of the best players for the Lady Vols this season. She is averaging 11.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game on the year.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s elevated her game in SEC play, as well. In conference play alone, she\u2019s posted 14.4 points per game. This is the 17th-highest mark in the SEC so far and the second-best on the team. Talaysia Cooper\u2019s 17.0 points is the only Lady Vols\u2019 mark that is higher.<\/p>\n

Robertson is averaging 8.0 points per game on 35.3% from the field and 33.3% on 3-pointers. She also contributes 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.<\/p>\n

This is her first year with the program after spending two at George Washington and one at SMU. She has appeared in 23 games and started in 15.<\/p>\n

After Ole Miss, it\u2019ll be a busy week for UT. The Lady Vols host Texas A&M on Thursday before turning the page to a road game at No. 11 Oklahoma on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Then, it\u2019s just a game at No. 7 LSU and a home matchup with No. 5 Vanderbilt to round out the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KNOXVILLE, TN \u2013 December 14, 2025 \u2013 Guard Mia Pauldo #13 of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers during the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3724],"tags":[7,23209,32706,60070,32707],"class_list":{"0":"post-607918","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-lady-vols","10":"tag-lady-vols-basketball","11":"tag-mia-pauldo","12":"tag-tennessee-lady-vols"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116085649617906906","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
