After emerging as one of the SEC's biggest surprises at the start of conference play, Tennessee has received a reality check.
The Volunteers could be in for another Tuesday night when they host No. 1 Kentucky, which is a win away from the best start in school history.
Tennessee (14-10, 6-6) has lost five of its last seven, dropping the Volunteers from second place to seventh in the conference. The Vols have been particularly vulnerable at home, where they're 2-4 in SEC competition.
They will try to stop both trends against the Wildcats (25-0, 12-0).
”I think it's arguably the best team to ever be assembled,” Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall said. ”One team I think is comparable is the team with (Stacey) Augmon and (Larry) Johnson and that group at UNLV, but this team here is right there in the talk for being the most talented team ever assembled.”
