You could make the case the Tennessee basketball team doesn’t deserve the number one ranking after getting whipped by Kentucky on Saturday night. If you are one of the ones making that argument, you have a case.
The Vols schedule certainly doesn’t jump out at anyone as being overly difficult, but it’s not like they haven’t played anyone either. They lost to a healthy Kansas Jayhawks team in overtime and a top-five Kentucky Wildcats squad who has found their footing.
Yet, the Vols with just two losses on the season drops four spots in a weird week.
