Cori Close: "It's hard to even know what to say. ... I remember my dad used to say, he knew I loved to compete. He goes, 'If you can take something that you love and continue to compete and impact people's hearts in the process, you found a good thing.' This has been a calling."

Tennessee finishes the season with the most ranked wins in the SEC. They were the final team left in the NCAA Tournament from the conference. They counted the Vols out all year. What a season.

we're at the door. and we're knocking. let's go get em

Nate Ament: "It's one of the reasons I chose Tennessee because of Coach Barnes and his faith. ... as a team, you're trying to glorify something bigger than yourself. And, ultimately, something that is Jesus Christ and is God can only lead to good things. When you're playing for something other than your own glory and the glory of others, the glory of your teammates, the glory of Christ, only good things can happen from there if you're being selfless and trying to take care of each other."

Rick Barnes is now the only coach in the country that has made the following: - Last FOUR Sweet Sixteen - Last THREE Elite Eight #Vols have one of the best in the nation

“In moments of victory or defeat, I think it’s really important to be respectful. Whether we win or lose, we’re going to have respectful interaction. Your time to congratulate and show respect in the immediacy right there. Respect the people you play against. We want to be a program that wins with class and loses with class,” Kara Lawson

Rick Barnes on the keys to sustaining success after reaching the Elite 8 for the third straight season at Tennessee: "We do have a standard on a lot of things. It's not just what we do on the basketball court. We're pretty much a no-nonsense program."

TENNESSEE IS HEADED BACK TO THE ELITE EIGHT 🔈🔥 @Vol_Hoops

Tennessee had one elite 8 in program history when Rick Barnes joined the Vols. Barnes has now taken Tennessee to three straight Elite 8’s. Pretty phenomenal run, all time elite coach. Hope he never retires.

As an AD, I constantly remind our coaches what a captain really is. It is not always your best player, even though that is the ideal. It is the player who lives out your program’s culture every single day. The one who holds teammates accountable, shows up and works, puts the team first, and does the little things right when no one is watching. A captain is not just a talented kid who makes plays. It is the standard everyone else should follow.

a significant start to #MarchMadness

Tennessee has THE MOST NCAA Tournament wins IN THE SEC since 2021. The Vols are on to the Sweet Sixteen.

Tennessee is 10-3 in the NCAA Tournament the last four years. Rick Barnes sure does win a lot in March for someone who can't win in March.

see y'all (yet again) in the Sweet 16!

Stop asking your players to follow an example that you aren’t modeling. They are not listening to your words. They are watching your life. The standard you hold for yourself is the standard they will actually follow.

@LTrent5 and her Lady Beavers just qualified for their 4th straight region tournament! So proud!!

Duke women’s basketball HC Kara Lawson talks about adversity her team suffered starting the season 3-9, faced 6 ranked teams. Winners of 16 straight! People called for her job. I asked her about the heated discussions. “We don’t get to determine the length of our adversity”

Former #LadyVols HC Kellie Harper on her return to Tennessee this Thursday: "For me, I'm just doing my job. This is about our players...I know there's going to be so many people that will want to make it about me, and I get that." 🎥@KOMUNews
