We\u2019re sure some Duke fans got theirs, but it\u2019s obviously going to be a Tennessee crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tennessee won\u2019t have the wonderful Zakai Ziegler, their 5-9 spark plug, but Rick Barnes and the Vols bring a lot to the court. They\u2019re likely to start Maryland transfer Ja\u2019Kobi Gillespie in his spot, along with senior big man Felix Okpara and highly touted freshman Nate Ament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can expect Tennessee to play the same bruising defense we\u2019ve seen from Barnes since his Clemson days. It\u2019s not much fun, but it\u2019s important to get some games in against teams like that, because under Jon Scheyer, Duke has struggled with overly physical teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you\u2019re still interested in getting a ticket, <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100l9Qg6\/%5Bp_id:1101l394957%5D\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftennessee-volunteers-basketball-knoxville-tickets-10-26-2025%2Fevent%2F159033208%2F%3Fquantity%3D2\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">you might consider Stub Hub<\/a> or another secondary market seller, but you\u2019ll probably pay a premium.
