Tennessee Volunteers Basketball Ranked Inside Top 15 for Preseason AP Poll

Date:

The Tennessee Volunteers men’s basketball team has been ranked inside of the top 15 for the preseason AP poll.

While college football is still in full swing and the Tennessee Volunteers are still in the mix for a potential playoff spot, college basketball is right around the corner as well. The Volunteers are coming off of a deep postseason run last year and looking to be right back in this mix this season. With that said, the preseason AP top 25 have been released and Tennessee was included on the list.

Tennessee did lose some key players in the form of Dalton Knecht and Santiago Vescovi, but they have reloaded with another top-end roster under coach Barnes. Zakai Zeigler is a notable returnee who averaged over 10 points a game last season and Tennessee also dipped their hand into the transfer portal and pulled out some keynote additions as well.
