The 1983-1984 Tennessee basketball team, led by coach Don DeVoe, finished the season with a record of 21-14, with a conference record of 9-9, which placed them in 6th place in the SEC MBB. Despite a lackluster offensive performance, with a points per game average of 65.7 ranking them 183rd out of 275 teams, the Volunteers held their opponents to 62.9 points per game, ranking them 56th in the nation in that category. The team's strength of schedule was also noteworthy, with a ranking of 31st out of 275 teams. Although they did not win the conference or reach the NCAA tournament, the Volunteers had a respectable season and showed promise for the future.
