Tennessee Volunteers in NCAA Tournament

0:00On March 16, Tennessee earned the 6th seed in the Midwest region of the 2026 NCAA Tournament. The volunteers opened against the winner of Miami, Ohio and Southern Methodist University this Friday, March 20 at 4.25 PM Eastern. Time in Philadelphia. That game airs on TBS. Meanwhile, Miami, Ohio and Southern Methodists tip off in the first four on Wednesday night at 9.15 PM in Dayton, Ohio. The victor moves on to challenge Tennessee. A first round win sends the balls against either third seed Virginia or 14th seed right state on Sunday. Fans and players alike are buzzing with excitement for this squad, which has its sights set on a national title run. Tennessee marks its eighth straight tournament appearance, stretching the program's record and tying it for fourth longest active street nationwide. Under coach Rick Barnes and his 11th year, this is the first time the goals drop below a fifth seed. They broke the previous mark of six straight bids set years ago and hold a 12 wins and seven losses record in his NCAA games.

1:04Advancing twice puts Tennessee in Chicago for the sweet 16 and maybe the elite eight at the United Center with top seed Michigan looming in the Bariah region. The path ahead keeps their deep run hopes alive.
