An All-SEC first-team selection by the conference coaches, Vescovi helped UT go 27-8 in the 2021-22 campaign, highlighted by winning the 2022 SEC Tournament championship and reaching the NCAA Tournament. He was the only Vol to start all 35 games and finished the season as Tennessee’s leader in minutes played (31.2 mpg) and 3-point percentage (40.3%), while finishing second in scoring (13.3 ppg) and assists (3.2 apg).
With Josiah-Jordan James also returning to play for Rick Barnes’ squad, there’s a lot of excitement for the 2022-23 Volunteers.
