It's been a busy off-season for Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes as he's been tasked with putting together a roster that replaces multiple key components.

Despite the schedule, Barnes made time to head to Sherri Parker Lee Stadium to take in some softball. This weekend, the Lady Vols are hosting Nebraska for the Knoxville Super Regional and a spot in the Women's College World Series.

As revealed by Tennessee basketball's Twitter/X account, Barnes has been dubbed the 'grill master' with his all-access pass to the porches for Friday evening's game.

The accompanying image of Barnes manning the grill has already given Tennessee fans ammunition on social media for next season.

One user, @423VOL, put a post together that reads 'GRILL MASTER RICK BARNES JUST COOKED YOUR POVERTY TEAM.'

Tennessee softball's first game of the super regionals began at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Game two will take place on Saturday at 5 p.m. on ESPN.

Game three does not yet have a TV designation or first pitch time. It will not be played if either team wins both of the first two games of the best-of-three series.

Each game will be played on the Lady Vols' home field in Knoxville.

Tennessee owns the all-time series with Nebraska, 5-2.

However, the Huskers won the most recent game of the set. The Lady Vols opened this season against Nebraska, creating a full-circle super regional. In that game, the Huskers won 7-1 in the NFCA Leadoff Classic played in Clearwater, Florida.

Both teams pitched their ace, with Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens allowing five hits and five unearned runs in five innings pitched. For Nebraska, it was two-way star Jordyn Bahl who went the entire game while allowing one earned run on five hits.
