KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Men's Basketball will host Texas in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge at the end of January.
The game is set for Jan. 28 at 6 p.m. inside Thompson-Boling Arena.
Texas won against Tennessee in Austin last season in a narrow one-point victory. The Vols surged back from down 17 points in the second half to give themselves a chance to win, thanks in large part to their defense and some timely shots from Josiah-Jordan James and Zakai Ziegler.
In that game, head coach Rick Barnes returned to his old coaching stomping grounds for the first time since he left Texas. He coached there for 17 seasons before joining Tennessee.
