Barnes Previews the Season in Full on The Mike Keith Show

Rick Barnes used an appearance on The Mike Keith Show to preview Tennessee's season, and Rocky Top Insider has compiled everything the head coach said in the conversation.

A full season preview from Barnes carries weight because he tends to be direct about his teams: what they do well, where they are unproven, and what the schedule will demand of them. The interview offers his own framing of the Volunteers before the first real test.

Supporters looking for a baseline for the year can start with the coach's own words. How closely the early games match his preview will be one of the first measures of this Tennessee team.
