KNOXVILLE – The past few weeks have been unusual territory for Rick Barnes.
They’ve also not been much fun for the Tennessee Volunteers or their first-year coach.
The late-season free-fall continued in Saturday’s regular-season finale, as Ole Miss handed the Vols a fourth straight loss with a dominating 83-60 Southeastern Conference victory at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The late slide means Tennessee (13-17, 6-11) will be the No. 12 seed in the SEC tournament and play Auburn in Nashville on Wednesday night.
