April Madness?
After a March that began with Tennessee winning its first outright Southeastern Conference regular-season championship in 16 seasons and ended with the Volunteers advancing to the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, April has hardly been a springtime stroll.
The Vols have lost four players to the NCAA transfer portal — reserve guards Freddie Dilione V and D.J. Jefferson and top post players Jonas Aidoo and Tobe Awaka — while acquiring versatile Hofstra guard Darlinstone Dubar.
“This month is probably the most hectic, busiest month that we go through now because of where we are with the game, the portal and everything,” Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said Thursday in his first news conference since a 27-9 season concluded March 31 with a 72-66 loss to Purdue in the Midwest Regional final in Detroit.Welcome to our new, subscriber-exclusive commenting experience.
