Tennessee heads south for another huge road test — a top ten matchup showdown with Bruce Pearl’s Auburn Tigers. The Volunteers have bounced back once again from a road loss at Vanderbilt last weekend, beating the 14th-ranked Mississippi Bulldogs on Tuesday.

Tennessee has issues of their own as key sixth-man Jordan Gainey battles the flu.
Regardless of who plays, Tennessee is walking into a tough environment against a team that can really shoot the ball.
