There was not much to complain about last season if you are a Tennessee basketball fan. The Vols finished the season 26-9 overall with regular season co-champs honors. They were able to receive a two seed in the SEC Basketball Tournament and a three seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The first paragraph lacks mentioning one of the most significant accomplishments in many years of the program by sweeping the Kentucky Wildcats. Oh, and there is winning in the always tricky Rupp Arena.
Now, the Vols did lose in the second round of the big dance, but not many people even thought Tennessee would be good enough to receive a bid.
