After a rough start to conference play, Tennessee has taken advantage of a lighter mid-section of the schedule. The Volunteers have rallied to rip off six straight wins in conference, climbing back into the regular season SEC race.
They’ve also gone from a team that was sliding down the NCAA Tournament projections list, to a team that’s now climbing. Tennessee picked up one of their best wins of the season on Wednesday night at Mississippi State, a team that remains on the bubble with just a few weeks left to play.
The Volunteers are now 4-6 in Quad 1 games, and still have yet to take a bad loss on the year.
