On Tuesday, eighth-year Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello discussed the Vols returning home to host a NCAA Tournament regional.
"It's very difficult to do, to quote a really smart baseball person I talked to yesterday, but the biggest thing is, we were 12 days on the road, so I think the guys needed to get back," Vitello said. "We played a couple extra-inning games in there, for whatever reason, weather is a part of it, but we've played long games this year, so it was a taxing trip. It was a valuable one for our guys, but it was important, I think, for us to be able to sleep in our own beds, recover, use our weight room, so that's probably the biggest part of this weekend."
