No. 4 Tennessee heads to Tuscaloosa tonight for a massive meeting with No. 14 Alabama. Both teams enter this one tied at the top of the SEC standings, sitting at 12-3 in conference play. South Carolina remains one game back of both teams, still alive in the race.
Tennessee smoked Alabama in Knoxville back in January, 91-71.
“They just took a very good team, one of the best teams in the league, and added a leading scorer in the league to it in (Dalton) Knecht, and now they’ve got a team that’s primed to get a 1- of a 2-seed,” Alabama head coach Nate Oats said of Tennessee.
