Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes and guard Jahmai Mashack met with the media on Friday afternoon in Knoxville as the Vols’ prepare for a big SEC rematch this weekend in the Food City Center.
The No. 8 Vols are set to host No. 5 Florida after the Gators stomped Tennessee by 30 points in Gainesville earlier in the season. Tennessee has gone 3-3 since that loss but a win on Saturday in the rematch would go a long way in getting the Vols back on track to continue through conference play.
Tennessee will host Florida at Noon ET on Saturday in Knoxville.
Barnes and Mashack hit a number of topics during their press conferences on Friday as they both recounted Tennessee’s loss against Kentucky and looked ahead to the game against Florida. Barnes spoke for about 10 minutes while Mashack went just under nine minutes.
