NCAA Tournament Bid

Tennessee hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since 2014, when they went to the Sweet 16 under Cuonzo Martin.

Heading back to the big dance would be a significant accomplishment for Rick Barnes and the Volunteers.

Tennessee is currently 7-5, but they’ve showed plenty of grit this season. Especially in a two point loss to UNC in Chapel Hill.

The Vols will need to perform well during SEC play in order to get on the NCAA tournament radar, but this is a team that’s definitely capable of getting a tourney bid.
