Welcome to Senior Day in Knoxville. There’s a lot going on here today, starting with a game Tennessee absolutely has to win. The Volunteers welcome in South Carolina, the worst team in the SEC. The Gamecocks are just 2-15 in conference play. Tennessee can lock in a double bye in the SEC Tournament with a win, and likely a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Following the game, Tennessee will hold Senior Day festivities. It’s the final ride in Knoxville for program pillars Zakai Zeigler and Jahmai Mashack, along with Jordan Gainey, Igor Milicic, Darlinstone Dubar and Chaz Lanier.
