Atlantis is located 800 miles from Knoxville, Tennessee.

It was announced Thursday that UT will join Kansas, Louisville and Marquette in the 2018 NIT Season Tip-O field in NYC.

The Volunteers average 10.8 more field-goal attempts than their opponents and own a +8.3 rebound margin through four games this season.

 

[YankeeVol]

Give Tennessee its first victory over NC State since 1992, when the Vols defeated the Wolfpack, 92-78, in Raleigh

Be UT’s highest finish in an early-season tournament since finishing third in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off in 2011

Mark the Volunteers’ fourth non-conference victory over a “Power Five” school in the Rick Barnes era

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if every team in the Battle for Atlantis made the NCAA Tourney

We'll see, we need to take control of this game quickly with tough defense and good decisions on offense. Plus please adjust, our opponent will.

NCSt will bust UT's Arse by 10 or more.

Reserved 3

I take it you have some reservations about this one?

A win today would be huge, getting out of Atlantis 2-1. Did well to finish with a single digit loss yesterday against a veteran team that hit practically all their free throws.

Looking for continued improvement in our young BB Vols. Thanx Coach Barnes!

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

Really tough team to play after a tough loss.. let's see how the young team reacts.

another test of intestinal fortitude...NC has a 7 footer to contend with...the one that turned us down...time to show him he made the wrong decision...I say just go out and play...don't overthink it...act like we're playing Purdue again...

GO VOLS...BEAT UP NC...:vava:

This 3 game stretch is brutal man. Any other average team in the nation comes out 0-3. We can come out 1-2 and I’ll be ok. Be very happy if we go 2-1.

Random question but I’ve seen the blue used in this years lady vol marketing and design and now in the men’s items as well. Is that something that will continue and grow? For b-ball at least
