The 1999-2000 Tennessee men's basketball team had a remarkable season, finishing with a 26-7 record and repeating as SEC East champions. Led by head coach Jerry Green, the team won the SEC championship for the first time since 1982 and set a program record for most wins in a single season. The team had a high-powered offense, ranking 15th in the nation in scoring at 79.7 points per game, and a solid defense, allowing 67.8 points per game. The team's success earned them a #4 seed in the NCAA Tournament, where they advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history before falling to North Carolina in a closely contested game.
