Tennessee, seeded No. 2 in the Midwest Region, is coached by someone that Texas is extremely familiar with — former head coach Rick Barnes. He led the Longhorns to 16 March Madness appearances in 17 seasons from 1998-2015, racking up 582 wins for the Longhorns with a Final Four berth in 2003. One of his top assistants for a good portion of that run, from 2002-11, was current Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry.
