KNOXVILLE — Tennessee enters its final regular season game of the 2019 season. The Vols will take on Vanderbilt in Week 14.

The contest will be redshirt senior Jauan Jennings’ final time playing at Neyland Stadium.

Ahead of the Tennessee-Vanderbilt game, Jennings discussed going through the Vol Walk for the last time.

“It’s going to be the last Vol Walk here in Knoxville, Tennessee,” Jennings said. “A lot could be said, but it’s just a lot of gratitude to this city and to this program, everything that they’ve done for me everything that they’ve done for my brothers. It means a lot.

“The fans, there’s nothing like them anywhere else in this country, so I’m definitely going to miss it.”

The 6-foot-3, 208-pound wide receiver also discussed what the Vanderbilt game means for the seniors.

“Last home game for us seniors, so it’s going to be a lot of emotions flowing,” Jennings said. “This for us as seniors is the last game in Neyland, so we don’t want to disappoint the fans that come here each and every Saturday that we have a game here. We’re just ready to go out there and win for them.”

November is one of the greatest months for college sports, especially with football on the weekends and basketball during the week to keep the fans occupied. Last night, the Lady Vols basketball team brought joy to the folks on Rocky Top with an authoritative win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Tonight, the men’s team has a chance to match the women with a victory of their own.

Men’s basketball play tonight

Tennessee men’s basketball faces the Murray State Racers tonight in the second game of their season-opening homestand at Thompson-Boling Arena. The Volunteers will look to extend the nation’s longest active home win streak against their foes from Kentucky.

This is the fourth time the two teams have met, with their last tangle coming in 2006. The Vols are currently a perfect 3-0 against the Racers in a series that was first played back in 1945 in Knoxville but did not resume until 2005 in Nashville.

Tipoff is at 9 p.m. ET and can be watched on SEC Network and online through WatchESPN, and can be heard on local Vol Network affiliates.
