Who's Playing
Tennessee Tech @ No. 11 Tennessee
What to Know
The #11 Tennessee Volunteers and the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles are opening their 2022-2023 seasons against one another at 7 p.m. ET Monday at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee went 27-8 last year and got to the second round of the NCAA tournament before losing to the Michigan Wolverines 76-68. Meanwhile, last year was nothing to brag about for Tennessee Tech (11-21), so the team is looking forward to a new start.
The Volunteers have the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. It would take nothing short of a miracle for the Golden Eagles to pull off a victory, but maybe they can at least keep Tennessee from covering the spread.
