NEW YORK (AP/WVLT) -- Pat Summitt, C. Vivian Stringer, and a 6-foot-7 freshman phenom highlight the fourth annual Maggie Dixon Classic.
The women's doubleheader will be played Dec. 13 at Madison Square Garden.
The two Hall of Fame coaches will meet for the seventh straight year when Tennessee and Rutgers will play in one game. Baylor will face Boston College in the other contest.
The last two meetings between the Lady Vols and Scarlet Knights were thrillers. Tennessee beat Rutgers on a controversial finish two years ago in Knoxville and last season, the Scarlet Knights built a 20-point halftime lead only to see it evaporate as the Lady Vols completed the biggest comeback in school history to win 55-51.
Accorcding to Baylor's athletics Web site, the Lady Vols will host the Bears November 15th as part of the State Farm Tip-Off Classic.
