Tennessee's 2015-16 Schedule

[mtsuraider06]

All in all a pretty good schedule..... I read periodically on the Tenn sites the teams which will not play Tenn..... UConn, Duke, UNC, etc..... Tenn fans.... are there games you would like to see which are not on the schedule?

Duke is back on the schedule next year. We also play Baylor in Knoxville as part of the SEC/Big12 Challenge. Add those to Texas, Stanford, Penn State, Syracuse, & Notre Dame and we have plenty of Power 5 opponents.

I would love to have a series with Oklahoma, Florida State, NC State, Iowa, Ohio State, or UCLA.

Darn shame the SEC didnt schedule TN and SC to meet twice in the regular season.

The SEC has set opponents that each school plays twice. I know 1 of our set home and home opponents is Kentucky and I think Mississippi State is another.

The ACC does too...... but they still have the flexibility to adjust the schedules so that two projected top teams meet twice in the regular season.

I think Ohio St. would be a good series.

Thank you and stwain for the input..... yeah the schedule is a healthy one indeed..... and i agree Ohio State would be really cool series.... a program of distinction...... FL State on the trajectory up.... and Oklahoma you cannot figure out.... they are good then not..... but now they have Mulkey, and if they get the complementary guard play that would be great series.....

by the way.... with McCoy...... it was mentioned i think that Illinois was one of the finalists.... do they not have their hands full with other stuff right now?

Just finished Jeff Greenberg's book UNRIVALED about the TN vs UCONN rivalry! I recommend it to any WBB fan a really great book! Some interesting tidbits inside!

I have heard talk about the La Tech rivalry being renewed. Now with Tyler coaching that team. It would seem a bit strange. There were some good games with these two.

La Tech was supposed to be on the schedule this year as a 2 for 1 series, but Tyler asked for it to be pushed back until he can get some recruits into the program. It will be within the next two years.

Illinois is a finalist, but very likely a "thank you" finalist. They have been recruiting her for a long time, and she has been appreciative of it. I don't see her going there, however.
