Giving up 18 consecutive points is never recommended in college basketball, but Tennessee did just that Wednesday night and still managed to subdue Mississippi State.

Tennessee’s quarterback competition for the 2026 season remains clouded by Joey Aguilar's eligibility situation, the Volunteers continue to build for the future at that position.

Given that Tennessee is unranked in basketball after getting pegged 18th in the preseason, and given that the Volunteers are tied for fifth in the Southeastern Conference standings after being picked to finish third, an argument can be made that this has been a mildly disappointing winter.

The appointment of longtime Tennessee hitting coach and recruiting coordinator Josh Elander as the next head coach of the Volunteers following Tony Vitello's decision to manage Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants was the smoothest transition athletic director Danny White could have made.

Tennessee and Kentucky have played 80 minutes of basketball this season against one another. The Volunteers led for 73 minutes and 13 seconds and came away 0-2.

No Tennessee lead this season is safe against Kentucky.

There are certain times throughout the course of a college basketball season when turning the page from a game occurs quickly.

Tennessee's Josh Elander era will begin with three games against Nicholls, one against UNC Asheville, three against Kent State and one against Bellarmine.

Tennessee freshman forward Nate Ament encountered an unusual sight Tuesday night as he came off the floor near the end of the Volunteers' rout of Ole Miss.

The Tennessee Volunteers worked very hard to return to the national rankings.
