Tennessee Volunteers Men’s Basketball History
The University of Tennessee men's basketball regularly makes noise in the SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament, with some recent deep runs to their credit. The Volunteers made a marquee run to the Elite Eight in 2010, when they fell to Michigan State in a one-point loss, but matched their March Madness peak with back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2024 and 2025.
The Volunteers are currently coached by former University of Texas head coach Rick Barnes, who took the job in Knoxville in 2015. After a rocky start, Barnes guided them to seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances starting in 2018. Under Barnes, the Vols have also captured two of Tennessee’s 12 regular season conference titles and its first conference tournament championship since 1979 (in 2022).
Tennessee has sent luminaries to the pros, like Dale Ellis, Allan Houston, C.J. Watson and the legendary Bernard King, who joined the New York Knicks in the ’80s.

Most fun I have ever had! My granddaughter loved it too!
The Tennessee Men’s basketball team showed strong defense and impressive free-throw shooting in their exhibition game. With promising new recruits and standout returning players, the team looks solid. However, offensive droughts were noticeable and need addressing for consistent performance. Our field goal percentage was not good. Overall, a good early showing with clear areas for growth as the season progresses. It was a great environment with significant fan support and excitement. Should be a fun season. Love this team!
Great time. Easily was taken into the arena great game and experience.
We appreciated the communication regarding change in game time. Also, event staff was very helpful in getting fans in out of the bitter cold when we arrived. Great venue! Great game! Go Vols!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the TN v. ole miss game. From start to finish it was electrifying.
I was so far from the court. Might as well stay home. It is treacherous to try and climb to the rows that are so high. Spend thousands and see the game or save money and stay home
We always LOVE seeing the Tennessee vols playing. The environment is so high and gets you involved the game. Looking forward to seeing more games in the future! Go VOLS!
Paid 20$ for a nosebleed ticket. Sat courtside with Heath Shuler and co. Instead. Great experience. Nicest college stadium in America hands down. Go Vols.
It was awesome the seats were awesome the prices were right on the spot loved it
Unbelievable game, great venue! Only issue is parking.
We brought our great-grandsons, ages 10 and 7, to their first UT basketball game. Turned out to be a great game for kids since there was lots of scoring! They had a blast! Go Vols!
Overall great experience, score didn't end like we hoped, but seats were great & so was the venue.
The game was great, however, it was a sauna in the arena. It was way too hot to be comfortable and have fun.
Great environment, the vols absolutely crushed Missouri. The seats are very small and cramped.
I didn't attend. I couldn't find a parking spot for less than $25 at 1 PM on a Sunday afternoon, so I drove home. Granted, the ticket was cheap, but no longer so when $25 was the parking fee. So the $25+ I would have spent additionally on arena concessions was lost revenue.
We were in the 317 section and was not prepared to climb such steep steps but that was minor compared to the wonderful time we had. The stadium is beautiful
It was a fantastic matchup of Top 10 teams in a facility that was a perfect fit.
Absolutely loved everything! Was great that parking garage was attached since it was rainy. It was awesome being so close to the game and getting to take pictures with the players afterward. Certainly didn’t hurt the fun that my team won!
Seating was great, Vols played a fantastic game and they should for the season. Flew in from Georgia and it couldn’t have been better!!!
Both teams played great. Announcer was awesome, made the arena feel fuller than it was.
