Rick Barnes has missed out on his 700th win each of the last two games. Now, Tennessee basketball is back in Knoxville this Saturday afternoon hoping to finally get that milestone in its final game before Christmas.
The Vols’ last two losses were at home to the Memphis Tigers in heartbreaking fashion and then on the road against the Cincinnati Bearcats. One was due to a horrendous offensive performance, and the other was due to a horrendous defensive performance.
Ranked No. 21 in both polls, UT is likely to be out of the ranking by next Monday regardless of what happens Saturday due to their current 7-3 record.
