Led by former Texas coach Rick Barnes, the Vols (10-4, 0-1 SEC) are trying to bounce back from their own struggles in the SEC opener. They made just 12 of 23 free throws in an 86-75 contest that seemed much closer than the final score. They’ll need to do better against Texas (9-5, 0-1), especially since the Longhorns rank third in the SEC in opponents’ free-throw attempts.
By the way, Barnes — who won a school-record 402 games in 17 seasons at Texas — has gone 4-0 against Texas over the past four seasons.
