With five NCAA Tournament appearances, three Sweet 16s and one Elite Eight during the 2010s, Tennessee basketball obviously had lots of memorable March Madness wins. Multiple head coaches also oversaw those wins.
However, an underrated aspect of the decade is the list of memorable victories Rocky Top had during the regular season.
Of Tennessee basketball’s 27 top 25 wins throughout the decade, 26 of them came before the NCAA Tournament arrived. The same is true for 10 of their 11 top 10 wins and six of their seven top five wins.
Simply put, UT was able to secure lots of great wins throughout the decade.
