LAST SEASON

• TOP SPOT: The Vols spent four weeks atop the Associated Press Top 25 rankings. And for the first time in program history, Tennessee spent the entire season ranked among the top 10.

• EIGHTH SWEET SIXTEEN: Tennessee advanced to last year's Sweet Sixteen with NCAA Tournament wins over Colgate and Iowa. It marked the eighth time UT reached the Round of 16 in its history, and the sixth since 2000.

• BRINGING IN THE HARDWARE: Grant Williams was a consensus first-team All-American and repeated as SEC Player of the Year. Admiral Schofield was a first-team All-SEC selection, and Jordan Bone garnered second-team honors. All three players were selected in June's NBA Draft. Rick Barnes earned a pair of National Coach of the Year honors, including the Werner Ladder Naismith College Coach of the Year Award.

ABOUT EASTERN NEW MEXICO

• Eastern New Mexico is a public university located in Portales, New Mexico founded in 1934, with an enrollment of 6,027.

• Greyhounds head coach Tres Segler got his start in collegiate basketball as a student assistant with Rick Barnes' Texas program. From 2003-09, Segler served as a student manager, camp coordinator, weight room assistant and graduate assistant with the Longhorns.

• Notable alumni of ENMU include current Oregon men's basketball coach Dana Altman. Altman was the former coach of current Tennessee guard Victor Bailey Jr. at Oregon.

• Former longtime Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder also is an alumni of Eastern New Mexico, earning a master's degree in 1965.

• ENMU competes in the Lone Star Conference. The conference headquarters are located in Richardson, Texas. The league has 18 member institutions located in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

• ENMU has a longstanding tradition of wearing green around campus on Fridays, similar to the tradition of Big Orange Fridays at the University of Tennessee.

• There is a time capsule buried on ENMU's campus that is set to be opened in 2035.

• ENMU is New Mexico's largest regional comprehensive university and is the most recently founded state university in New Mexico.

• The Greyhounds, following a solid 2018-19 campaign, return their leading scorer, junior Devin Pullum. The slashing guard was named to the All-Lone Star Conference second team after averaging 12.7 points per game, with all but three of his 27 appearances coming off the bench.

• The Hounds, however, do lose significant production entering the new season as their second-, third- and fourth-leading scorers graduated this past May.

• The Hounds took a big step forward last season, finishing better than .500 in conference play (10-8) for the first time since 2005-06 when they finished 9-3.

Rick Barnes has a lot of things to iron out but I think he will get thinks moving smoothly and Tennessee will finish 3rd in the SEC.

The WatchESPN app is no more. Just the ESPN app now. I tried to use it the other day and it instructed me to download the ESPN app.

I hope ENMU doesn't turn out to be basketball's version of GA State with our BasketVols playing down to the competition.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see a somewhat sloppy game from UT tonight. With all the new faces and loss of production from last year, I expect it to take a few games to get the rotation somewhat figured out. Still it’s a great day when basketball season is back and cannot wait to be in the arena tonight.

I used to skip the exhibition games, but since the redshirts can play they're more interesting. But I saw in another thread that they likely hold Uros out. I wonder if Bailey skips as well since he's required to redshirt with his transfer. But no doubt the end of the bench will see more minutes than normal. Gaines, Pember. First look at JJJ and practically Kent's as well.

Thank goodness for our basketball team it’s been a nice fall back to how bad the football team has been for most of the last decade.
