Yes, it is technically football season, and while Tennessee fans love their basketball team, Football rules over all. However, the Tennessee basketball team should be one of the top teams in the country, so it is never too early to discuss the program, right?
The job Rick Barnes has done with this team is more than impressive. Donnie Tyndall led the Vols to a 16-16 record and didn’t leave much talent on the roster.
It didn’t get any better the first two season under Barnes, his teams played hard, but the record didn’t indicate much improvement.
