Time flies.
It doesn’t seem like it was all that long ago that Tennessee turned to Rick Barnes, fresh off of his firing at Texas. The Volunteers were coming out of the Donnie Tyndall year, desperate to find some stability.
Seven years and 137 wins later, he’s set to lead his Volunteers in Austin against his former team.
No. 18 Tennessee will face Texas (15-5) on Saturday night as a part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Chris Beard is now the head coach of the Longhorns, taking over for Shaka Smart, who took over for Barnes back in 2015.
