Believe it or not, basketball season is here as Tennessee prepares for its preseason exhibition matchup against Duke.
The No. 6 Blue Devils will make the trip to Rocky Top and will face a new-look Vols squad in front of a sold-out Food City Center.
This will be our first look at this year’s Vols squad in a game-like situation. It will also be the first time in a few years that Tennessee will have some different players running Rick Barnes’ system after graduating six seniors last year.
Tennessee has released its projected starters with Senior Jacobi Gillespie running the point, followed by Sophomore Bishop Boswell as the other guard, and Freshman Nate Ament, Junior Jaylen Carey, and Senior Felix Okpara as the Vols’ three forwards.
