The NCAA Tournament committee did a mock run today, releasing their current top 16 seeds for next month’s field. Tennessee, following a huge win over No. 4 ranked Kentucky, landed on the three-seed line.
It was Tennessee’s second win over a potential No. 1 seed this season, adding to the Arizona win earlier in the season. They’ll have a chance to add another next week, set to host Auburn in Knoxville.
The Volunteers have been hovering around the four-seed line in the midst of a hot streak in SEC play. Now with a few big games left to finish out the schedule, Tennessee has a big chance to move firmly onto this No.
