As their 2019-2020 schedule gets progressively tougher, Tennessee basketball has a decent test against a mid-major opponent Tuesday night that has made the last two NCAA Tournaments. And this is their last game before a neutral site showdown with the Washington Huskies Saturday.
Rick Barnes’s kids put their 1-0 record on the line with another home game against the Murray State Racers, who are also 1-0 and looking to reload under fifth-year head coach Matt McMahon after the loss of second-round draft pick Ja Morant. The Vols host this game one week after its 78-63 season-opening victory over the UNC Asheville Bulldogs.
