Tennessee basketball is back in action tonight, set to take on Syracuse in Knoxville. The Volunteers are coming off of a successful trip to the Bahamas, where they ousted both Virginia and Baylor to win the Baha Mar Championship.
Chaz Lanier was lights out during that tournament, nearly single-handedly beating Baylor in the opening minutes of the game. The North Florida transfer is shooting nearly 50 percent from three-point range so far this season.
Syracuse enters the night 4-2 on the year. The Orange have taken losses to Texas and Texas Tech — both close games. Tonight will be a challenge, however.
