Tennessee remains on the razor’s edge of a projected No. 1 seed in next month’s NCAA Tournament. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi offered an update yesterday BEFORE Thursday night’s action, placing Tennessee as a No. 2 seed. The Volunteers were placed as the fifth overall seed, needing a slip-up from one of the top four teams to move up a line.

Tennessee got that slip-up from Arizona last night, as the Wildcats fell to Washington State. However, Lunardi noted that a loss would not take Arizona off of the top line.
