The Tennessee Volunteers are officially slumping, and things won’t get much easier today inside of Thompson-Boling Arena. Tennessee has dropped two of their last three games, the latest coming against Vanderbilt on a dramatic buzzer beater from the corner.
Just two weeks ago we were discussing a one-seed for the Volunteers. Now they need a win today to salvage the chance at a No. 2 or even a No. 3. They’ll welcome the Missouri Tigers to town, who have taken a big step forward in the their first season under Dennis Gates.
Missouri is 18-6 overall and 6-5 in conference play.
