Without its leading scorer, Tennessee (13-14, 6-8) improved to 12-2 at home after an 81-65 upset victory over LSU (16-11, 9-5). Despite not having Kevin Punter Jr (22.2 ppg) due to a foot injury, the Volunteers found leadership in another senior.

Let’s not beat around the bush. Tennessee is bad on the road and every team in America is bad in Rupp Arena. When you put those two factors together, it’s a recipe for disaster. To the Vols’ credit, they made an admirable effort. The Wildcats only led 36-30 at the half. Team leader Kevin Punter never could…

Johnny Majors coached Tennessee football from 1977-1992. He led the Vols to three SEC Championships and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987. He’s one of the best coaches to ever walk the sidelines of Neyland Stadium in Orange & White. Rick Barnes has coached Tennessee basketball for a little more than…
The 2010-2011 Tennessee basketball team is often remembered as Bruce Pearl’s final squad. They infamously took a 75-45 beating at the hands of Michigan in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament to unceremoniously end Pearl’s tenure with the Vols. Despite this, Tobias Harris has emerged from that sordid team and has become a bright spot representing…

Coming into Tennessee’s game on Tuesday night, it looked like the Vols were in a good position to win, but no one could have predicted the monumental beatdown UT put on Auburn. Auburn shot just 24 percent from the floor, going an abysmal 14 for 59 in total. The Tigers added to that with 14…
