Okay, before everyone freaks out, this isn’t me saying Tennessee basketball isn’t a good team. This isn’t me saying they are in trouble or that they have already peaked. In fact, I believe they are one of the best teams in the country and playing better than anyone else.
They are winners of 13 straight games, a winning streak that began before Thanksgiving after their six-point loss to the Kansas Jayhawks in overtime. During that span of games, the Vols knocked off the then ranked No.1 Gonzaga Bulldogs, Memphis Tigers, Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide, and most recently, the Vanderbilt Commodores.
