Tennessee sticks at No. 5 in latest AP Poll
Tennessee stayed put in the latest AP Top 25 poll, remaining as the fifth-ranked team in the country. The Volunteers had the mid-week off, but came back to come away with a road win against Vanderbilt to end the week on Saturday night. Dalton Knecht kept his hot streak going, pouring in another 32 points to lead the Vols to a win in Memorial Gymnasium.
UConn remains in the No. 1 spot, followed by Purdue, North Carolina and Houston. Wisconsin, which Tennessee beat on the road back in November, climbed all the way up to No. 6. That win over the Badgers is now clearly Tennessee’s best resume-builder to this point.
Kentucky lands at No. 10 after losing to South Carolina last week. Auburn tumbled all the way down to No. 16 following back to back losses. Alabama lands at No. 24 after pulling the upset over Auburn.
Memphis dropped out of the poll following their third straight loss (USF, Tulane, UAB).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
