Tennessee is back in action tonight with another true road game, set to head to Champaign to face the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Volunteers took care of business after moving to No. 1 this week, beating Miami in Madison Square Garden.
This will be the backend of a one and one, with Illinois losing in Knoxville last season. Brad Underwood knows what he’s up against.
“And I think it’s a great opportunity for our basketball team to play against a great team who just happens to be No. 1,” Illinois head coach Brad Underwood said.
