Top-ranked Tennessee looks to continue one of the best starts in school history when it hosts Middle Tennessee on Monday night in nonconference play at Knoxville, Tenn. The Volunteers (11-0) can move into a tie for the second-best start with a victory over the Blue Raiders. The 14-0 opening stretch in the 1922-23 season is the school's top beginning to a season. Tennessee concludes nonconference play against Norfolk State on Dec. 31 and the only test it has received thus far came in a 66-64 road win at Illinois on Dec. 14. The Volunteers have won seven games by more than 20 points, topped by last Tuesday's 84-36 rout of visiting Western Carolina.
