The Final Four is here. And, true to every year in NCAA Men’s Basketball history, the Tennessee Vols are nowhere to be found.
From Ray Mears to Don DeVoe to Jerry Green to Bruce Pearl, and from Bernard King and Ernie Grunfeld to Allan Houston to Tony Harris to Vincent Yarbrough to Ron Slay to Chris Lofton, Tennessee basketball is filled with legends among coaches and players.
But none of them ever helped the Vols get to that elusive Final Four.
Between the success of the football and women’s basketball program, it’s no secret that men’s basketball has not traditionally held up its end.
