Tennessee Volunteers Men’s Basketball History
The University of Tennessee men's basketball regularly makes noise in the SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament, with some recent deep runs to their credit. The Volunteers made a marquee run to the Elite Eight in 2010, when they fell to Michigan State in a one-point loss, but matched their March Madness peak with back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2024 and 2025.
The Volunteers are currently coached by former University of Texas head coach Rick Barnes, who took the job in Knoxville in 2015. After a rocky start, Barnes guided them to seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances starting in 2018. Under Barnes, the Vols have also captured two of Tennessee’s 12 regular season conference titles and its first conference tournament championship since 1979 (in 2022).
Tennessee has sent luminaries to the pros, like Dale Ellis, Allan Houston, C.J. Watson and the legendary Bernard King, who joined the New York Knicks in the ’80s.

Tennessee Volunteers at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center
The Volunteers play home games at Thompson-Boling Arena, located on the university’s campus in Knoxville, Tennessee. Thompson-Boling Arena holds a maximum capacity of 21,678 people. The men’s and women’s basketball teams have played in the arena since its opening in 1987. Thompson-Boling Arena takes its name from B. Ray Thompson, who donated $5 million for the arena’s construction in 1982, and former university president Edward J. Boling. The basketball court is also well known as "The Summitt," named after Pat Summitt, the late, legendary coach of the Lady Vols women’s basketball program.

You couldn’t visit the concession stand because they only had two open and the lines were wrapped around the building. Me and my family refused to stand in line and miss the entire game. That’s my only complaint, other than that great experience
Game was great!!! Enjoyed the food , Christmas atmosphere From the Dance team, Cheerleaders, Band, DJ , Smokey , and of course our Basketball team !!! We love our Vols !!! Go Big Orange!!!
Parking was hectic as it always is but once we got into the arena the staff was super helpful and friendly. It was my daughter's first UT game and it went so smoothly. Everyone was very nice courteous and helpful!
If you are sitting in Section 327 Row H, please note that your view of the floor is screened by the railing, and you will have a an obstructed view.
ILLINI WIN!!!!! Great game beer prices are way too high
Had a great time at Bridgestone Arena watching the game. Good atmosphere, good seats considering it’s a hockey arena. All in all had a really good time and if this event happens again I will go back.
As Illini fans we must say Vols fans are the best!Didn't meet a single one that wasn't personable and accommodating.Not a bad seat in the bldg.Highly recommend anyone considering attending to do so.The hands down best staff we've been around.Southern hospitality isn't just a phrase it's a life!
Keep UT games in Knoxville. Prices (not resale) were crazy.
Tickets were too expensive for a December basketball game. Concession prices are through the roof. I had a whole meal at the assembly hall across the street for the cost of a burger at the arena. Very disappointed.
Been coming to bb games for many years now and it is always a pretty good experience. The bathroom facility changes in the last few years has made all the difference in the world for men and women. The only complaint that I have is that you can no longer park near the stadium without paying. Ticket prices are way too much for the average fan and now parking is an issue. The shuttle has been good but for the Duke game the previous routes have been changed for this year and the drop-off and pick up points around the stadium are lousy! Please go back to the old drop-off and pick up points around the stadium or give us some free parking in at least one of the garages.
