BIG PICTURE
East Tennessee State: The Bucs haven't beaten a ranked team since March 20, 1992, when they topped No. 10 Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Tennessee: Getting Fulkerson back on the floor was a big step in the right direction for the Vols. The senior big man missed the team's exhibition and season opener with a broken left thumb. The challenge is to get him into basketball shape in time for next weekend's showdowns.
UP NEXT
East Tennessee Syate: After opening the season with two road losses (Appalachian State and Tennessee), the Bucs will play their home opener Thursday night against USC Upstate.
Tennessee: A week off will be followed by a trip to the Mohegan Sun Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut, for the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off. Saturday, Tennessee will take on No. 4 Villanova. Then, depending on Saturday's results, Tennessee will meet either No. 7 Purdue or No. 19 North Carolina on Sunday.
