Tennessee's Rick Barnes tries viral Wofford C Kyler Filewich granny shot

The No. 2 seed Tennessee basketball program and head coach Rick Barnes will kick off the Vols' March Madness campaign against the No. 15 seed Wofford Terriers and viral sensation Kyler Filewich.

Filewich had social media buzzing after people caught wind of his granny-style free throw shot.

The 6-foot-9 Filewich shoots 31.8 percent from the charity stripe this season, but he's giving it his best shot. It's reminiscent of the storyline in Netflix's Running Point featuring Kate Hudson where Dyson, a recently promoted G-League player, is taught the granny shot after his miserable free throw shooting.

As Barnes and the Vols prepare for Filewich and his unorthodox style, Barnes decided to test out his own skills from the free throw line with his own granny-style shots. He put Filewich to shame.

Barnes went a strong 6-of-10 from the line.
