This was supposed to be the year. This was the year the Tennessee basketball team was going to prove to the nation they were for real. They did for a few weeks during the season being ranked number one. But, then came the tough test.
The final seven games of the season were maybe the toughest seven-game stretch of any team in the nation. Instead of playing like the number one team in the nation, Tennessee stumbled and fell flat on their face.
Excluding Vanderbilt, because they sucked, the Vols went 3-3 against Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Auburn.
