Dilione was in and out of the playing rotation in his only full season at Tennessee. He missed time in November after suffering a partial tear of his left plantar fascia.

Dilione played more than 10 minutes twice, including 16 minutes in the season opener against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 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 against Alabama in January.

Dilione came in as a highly regarded recruit out of North Carolina. He signed with UT as a four-star prospect initially in the 2023 recruiting class but then moved up and came to Tennessee early. He enrolled in January 2023.
