Tennessee revealed their 2025-26 non-conference men’s basketball slate, and...well...it’s pretty nasty stuff.
Tennessee will go into a stretch from November 24 through December 16 where they will play (at least) five Power Four opponents, including the team that bounced them from last year’s tournament in the Elite Eight in the Houston Cougars. Illinois and Louisville made the field of 68 last year, and Syracuse should be better this season with contest being a true road game for the Vols.
Some game and dates had been revealed before, but, to me, seeing the totality of it all, it strikes me as challenging.
