The #12 Volunteers face a 7-2 Hilltopper team with upset on their mind. Don't bank on it. Tennessee is 8-1 with their lone loss coming to a very good Texas team. They are averaging 88.7 ppg while holding opponents to 65.6. JaJuan Smith is taking care of the ball (23 assists to only 8 turnovers). They are playing a high-pressure style defense and have already forced 221 turnovers (24 per game)! And, they are doing this all with one of their best players (Chris Lofton) in a shooting slump. This team is going to actually get better. The Hilltoppers are just 3-14 in their last 17 games vs. top level opponents (80%+ SU). They are 1-5 the past couple of seasons vs. teams scoring 77+ ppg. Tennessee for the win here.
