Dilione was in and out of the rotation during his only full season at Tennessee. He missed time in November after suffering a partial tear in his left plantar fascia.
Dilione played more than 10 minutes twice, including 16 minutes in the season opener against Tennessee Tech on November 6. He scored a season-high seven points in that game. He scored five points in a game twice, including in Tennessee’s 91-71 win over Alabama in January.
Dilione arrived as a highly regarded recruit from North Carolina. He signed with UT as a four-star prospect initially in the 2023 recruiting class, but then moved up and arrived at Tennessee early. He registered in January 2023.
