Following the 2015 season, Tennessee named Rick Barnes the next leader of Volunteer hoops. That is turning out to be one of the best hires in recent SEC memory.
On Sunday afternoon, the Vols finished a spectacular run in Tampa and will add some more hardware to their trophy case on Rocky Top. The Big Orange has their first SEC Tournament title since 1979 following a 65-50 win over Texas A&M.
Rick Banes is now 2-9 in conference title games and has claimed his first trophy since the 1994 Big East Tournament with Providence.
