You can’t say Rick Barnes scares easily from a challenge or he doesn’t try to get his teams ready for the NCAA Tournament. On Thursday, the University of Tennessee announced the basketball team would add a home-and-home series with the Wisconsin Badgers.
Since Barnes has been in Knoxville, Tennessee consistently plays one, if not the best non-conference schedules in the nation. Which is only going to continue as long as Barnes is running the show and when you such storied programs like Wisconsin.
Next season on December 28, 2019, Tennessee basketball will host the first of the two-game home-and-home series.
