The closer basketball season creeps up on us, the harder the non-conference schedule gets for the Tennessee basketball team. It was announced on Thursday that the Vols will face the Louisville Cardinals on November 21 in the NIT Season Tip-Off.
The other two teams a part of the NIT Season Tip-Off are Kansas and Marquette. So, the Vols could potentially end up playing Kansas if both teams win their first-round matchup. Playing tough opponents is nothing new to a Rick Barnes coached basketball team.
Last season the Vols played a tough non-conference schedule and they will again this season.
