The Tennessee Volunteers found themselves on the wrong end of a buzzer beater this week, falling 78-76 to Ole Miss on Wednesday. They responded with a 75-65 win over a scrappy South Carolina team on Saturday in Knoxville to bounce back and end the regular season on a high note.
That win wasn’t enough to reverberate with the voters in both polls, who dropped Tennessee on Monday. Tennessee didn’t just drop a spot. They dropped 4 places in the AP Poll, from 4 to 8. They fell from 4 into a tie with Michigan State for 6th in the Coaches Poll.
