For his first two seasons at Tennessee, Bone was one of many guards that coach Rick Barnes could call upon to play ferocious defense and hit a timely three-pointer. He started the majority of games that he appeared in but did not average more than 7.3 points and 3.5 assists. As a sophomore, he showed proficiency from long range and hit 38.0 percent of his three-pointers. The Tennessee native showed potential for a larger scoring role in a win over Arkansas in the SEC tournament, putting up 19 points and a trio of treys. Bone helped the Volunteers get out to a 23-1 start as a junior. He led the team with 5.8 assists (second in the SEC) and added 13.5 points and 3.2 rebounds. The 6-foot-3 guard had four games of at least 10 assists and scored a career-high 27 points in a win over Kentucky. He helped the Volunteers advance to the Sweet 16 in 2018-19. After being named to the All-SEC Second Team, Bone opted for the 2019 NBA draft and was selected 57th overall by the Pelicans.
