You might not have noticed through the insane search for a new football coach, but the Tennessee Volunteers are pretty good on the hardwood this year. Rick Barnes has a really deep group that has proven able to play with anyone in the country so far. The Vols are 7-1, ranked 24th in the country and currently slated as a No. 7 seed in the latest NCAA tournament projections.
Tennessee has one more really big test awaiting them before SEC play starts. The No. 11 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels will make the short trip to Knoxville on Sunday, December 17th at 3 PM eastern.
