All but one Tennessee basketball All-American failed to reach the NCAA Tournament at least one time during their careers on Rocky Top. Earning individual accolades is worthy of praise in Vol Nation. But translating it to wins on the court doesn’t always happen.

Surprisingly, the two lists are extremely different when it comes to Tennessee basketball.
