Tennessee rebounded from an ugly showing against Texas Tech to beat a good UNC-Greensboro team by 40 points on Saturday. Tonight, they have a chance for another lopsided win against USC Upstate.
It will be the third meeting all time between Tennessee and USC Upstate, with the Volunteers coming out on top 80-60 last season. The Spartans are 2-7 on the season so far.
Tennessee assistant Justin Gainey is in for a bit of a strange night, with his son currently sitting as Upstate’s second leading scorer. Jordan Gainey, a 6-4 freshman guard, is averaging ten points per game in his first year in the program.
