Tennessee basketball stated off the season 1-0 and are looking for the second win against Louisiana on Friday night. Here are goals for most of the players this season.

There are high expectations on Rocky Top for the 2018-19 basketball season. The Vols are projected to finish second in the SEC only behind the Kentucky Wildcats. Can Tennessee live up to the hype?

That is a question that always gets asked in conversation, it usually follows, “you know, the Vols were overlooked by teams last season.” However by mid-January teams knew the Vols were for real so as far as living up to the hype, I think they can.

Tennessee is ranked 6th in the nation, and a few personalities of the media have them predicted to make the Final Four. That’s strong praise for any team, but with their experience, the Vols can do it.

We’ve touched on the ten most important games this season. If you love watching the top teams in college basketball play each other, you’re in luck with the Vols nonconference schedule. Tennessee plays Gonzaga, West Virginia, Memphis, and potentially Kansas.

We’ve also covered five bold predictions for the upcoming season which include the Vols making an Elite Eight appearance.

In this post, we hand out one goal for most of the players on the team. I wanted to make these goals reachable, yet somewhat hard to achieve. What’s a goal if it isn’t hard, right? We start with Admiral Schofield, could contend for SEC Player of the Year?
