TENNESSEE STATE TIGERS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Ohio Valley ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Candice Dupree took over Tennessee State's women's basketball program in a rebuilding phase, inheriting a roster of 13 players competing in the Ohio Valley Conference. Located in Nashville at the 8,198-student historically Black university founded in 1912, the Tigers are working through a challenging 2024-25 season with a 4-21 overall record that includes a 3-4 conference mark. The team's offensive output averages 58.8 points per game, substantially below the opponent average of 75.8, indicating significant scoring struggles in most matchups.

Home games at Gentry Center have been slightly more productive for Tennessee State, where they've posted a 4-8 record compared to an winless 0-13 mark on the road. The disparity between home and away performance underscores the difficulty the Tigers face in conference play, where they've managed just three victories in seven Ohio Valley Conference games. Dupree's focus appears centered on team development and improving the 58.8 scoring average, as Tennessee State navigates a rebuild that requires addressing both offensive efficiency and consistency across all competition levels.
