There are high expectations on Rocky Top for the 2018-19 basketball season. The Vols are projected to finish second in the SEC only behind the Kentucky Wildcats. Can Tennessee live up to the hype?
That is a question that always gets asked in conversation, it usually follows, “you know, the Vols were overlooked by teams last season.” However by mid-January teams knew the Vols were for real so as far as living up to the hype, I think they can.
Tennessee is ranked 6th in the nation, and a few personalities of the media have them predicted to make the Final Four.
