This week, Sarah Detwiler chats with junior forward Cade Phillips as Tennessee basketball gears up for the 2025 season.

Phillips reflects on a fast offseason, lessons from back-to-back Elite Eight runs, and stepping into a leadership role as the most tenured Vol on the roster. He talks about the team’s chemistry with five new freshmen and three transfers, the challenge of opening against Duke, and what Coach Barnes’ lifetime contract means to the program.

With the season fast approaching, Phillips and the Volunteers are focused on building momentum and chasing another deep postseason run.

This week, Sarah Detwiler chats with Ally Brown — Tennessee’s senior defender and in-state star — to reflect on an unforgettable season for the Lady Vols.

From upsetting the nation’s No. 1 team to climbing into the top five and posting one of the best defensive records in program history, Ally shares what’s made this year so special. She talks about the team’s chemistry, leadership, and focus as Tennessee pushes toward a championship finish and postseason play.

A Tennessee native through and through, Ally also reflects on what it means to represent her home state and close out her Lady Vol career on such a high note.

This week, Sarah Detwiler chats with Colton Hood — Tennessee’s playmaking cornerback — as he reflects on the Volunteers’ first bye week of the season and assesses both his own performance and the team’s progress.

Coming off a thrilling 41-34 overtime win at Mississippi State, Hood jump-started the team with a 23-yard pick-six, while Tennessee’s defense racked up five sacks, eleven tackles for loss, and two touchdowns. Since his debut against Syracuse, Hood has emerged as a cornerstone of the secondary, earning SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Week honors and making big plays in every game.

With key matchups ahead against Arkansas, Alabama, and Kentucky, Hood and the Volunteers are focused on building momentum and continuing their electric start to SEC play.
