11.12 @ Xavier L 63-67 - 11-3 in Big East, but moved from A10 (good but not great team)
11.16 USC Upstate in Knoxville, TN W 74-65 = fluff game
11.18 The Citadel in Knoxville, TN W 86–60 = fluff game
11.22 Tennessee State in Knoxville, TN W 88–67 = fluff game
11.28 vs UTEP in Nassau, BAH L 70–78 = lost to mid level CUSA team
11.29 vs Xavier in Nassau, BAH W 64–49 : second game with Xavier
11.30 vs Wake Forest in Nassau, BAH W 82–63 = second tier ACC team
12.07 Tennessee Tech in Knoxville, TN W 84-63 = fluff game
12.14 @ Wichita State L 61-70 = best team played to date, but lost
12.18 NC State in Knoxville, TN L 58-65 = loss to mid level ACC team
12.23 Morehead State in Knoxville, TN W 82-67 = win vs OVC team
12.30 Virginia in Knoxville, TN W 87-52 = win to mid level ACC team
01.04 Tusculum in Knoxville, TN W 98-51 = fluff team

Playing Xavier twice and 3 mid level ACC teams will make it look like a tough schedule but it lacks tough games at the very top. Wichita State is good but are they a Michigan State or Syracuse? 3 ACC teams, but none of the top ones.

UF and UK have top schedules, and Bama is still probably ahead of the Vols. Nothing wrong with the Vols schedule and it is good, just not great.
