Tennessee Basketball Hosts Elite Transfer Target

Tennessee’s 2025-26 basketball season just wrapped up, and the Volunteers made it to the Elite Eight for the third straight year. The season had lots of ups and downs, and even though the season did not end the way they wanted, Tennessee still has a lot to celebrate.
