16-14 Season Record
Tennessee men's basketball will let fans into its Oct. 3 intrasquad scrimmage at Food City Center, giving them an early look at the team before the season.
Tennessee gained just 70 rushing yards on 44 carries (1.6 per attempt) against Texas. Constant pressure rattled true freshman QB Faizon Brandon, and the offense had only three points until the final minutes.
Tennessee freshman Ralph Scott will undergo left knee surgery and is expected to miss at least six months, coach Rick Barnes announced, sidelining the big man for the bulk of the upcoming season.
Rick Barnes is using summer practice to build chemistry among a heavily remade Tennessee roster, with October preseason scrimmages against Xavier and Duke on the schedule as the first real measuring sticks.
Vols sophomore guard Troy Henderson is nearly through a shoulder issue carried over from last season, working out at full speed but not yet cleared for contact. He played 28 games as a freshman and figures into a crowded backcourt with Dai Dai Ames, Juke Harris and Terrance Hill.
