It’s a college football Saturday.... with a side of basketball. Tennessee will take on Lenoir-Rhyne in an exhibition this afternoon in Knoxville, kicking off basketball season on Rocky Top.
The No. 18 Volunteers will get a chance to gel a little bit today before starting the season for real on November 9th against UT-Martin.
Today will mark the debut of five-star freshmen Kennedy Chandler and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield. Auburn sharpshooter Justin Powell is another massive addition. Rick Barnes has turned this roster over from last year’s team, hoping to make things a little more balanced this season.
John Fulkerson will miss today’s game with an injury, but is expected back to begin the regular season.
