Rick Barnes and Tennessee basketball will be on the road for the SEC/Big 12 challenge in 2018, as the Vols take on the Iowa State Cyclones.
This past year, Tennessee hosted the Kansas State Wildcats and had an impressive victory in the challenge.
Next year, the toughness of their task is up in the air.
The Vols will take on an Iowa State team that has made the NCAA Tournament each of its first two years under head coach Steve Prohm, including just missing out on its second straight Sweet Sixteen this past year.
However, that team lost its four leading scorers from a year ago and seven seniors overall.
