What a year it has been for Rick Barnes and the Tennessee basketball team. With only one game left in the season, the Vols have the opportunity to win back-to-back SEC regular-season titles as well as make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
The win against Mississippi State on Tuesday night gave the Vols their first undefeated record at home since the 2007-08 season. That year’s squad finished the regular season with a 28-3 record with losses to Texas (neutral site), at Kentucky, and in Nashville against Vanderbilt.
That looks very similar to this season. The 2018-19 Tennessee basketball team has three losses on the season with the first one coming back in November to the Kansas Jayhawks in a neutral site game.
