Last season, the Volunteers were headlined by two top freshmen in Keon Johnson and Jaden Springer and featured a solid mix of veterans with John Fullerton, Josiah Jordan James and Yves Pons.
However, after a hot start, they stumbled. They salvaged a trip to the NCAA tournament but disappointed relative to their ambitions.
Gone are Johnson, Springer and Pons to the NBA, but there is still an abundance of talent on this team. Enter Kennedy Chandler, the school’s highest-ranked recruit since Tobias Harris.
Not only is Chandler considered better than both of last year’s freshmen, but Rick Barnes has adopted a more ball-screen heavy offense to make the most of Chandler’s ability as a playmaker and scorer.
UT Martin is making its first trip to Knoxville in 11 years. The two schools were supposed to face off last season, but the game was canceled due to COVID-19 complications.
UT Martin doesn’t return a single player from last year’s team. The Skyhawks' 14 new players will be led by a new coach in Ryan Ridder.
Regional restrictions may apply.
