The College basketball Gods are giving us a top-5 matchup in November. The fifth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers takes on the second-ranked Kansas Jayhawks in the Championship Game of the NIT Season Tip-Off in Brooklyn, New York.
In the first round on Wednesday, Tennessee found themselves in a run-and-gun game against Louisville. The Cardinals gave the Vols their best shot by knocking down 11 three-point shots and forced Tennessee into ten turnovers. The only problem was they didn’t have an answer for Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield. Tennessee ended up winning the game 92-81.
Like Tennessee, Kansas had a fight on their hands against the Marquette Golden Eagles.
