Tennessee Basketball opens up SEC play this Saturday afternoon with a road matchup against John Calipari’s Arkansas Razorbacks. The Vols went 10-3 during the non-conference slate. Tennessee rattled off seven straight wins to begin this season, including victories over Rutgers and Houston, but then dropped three straight to Kansas, Syracuse, and Illinois. The Vols have since won their last three games including a victory over Louisville in Knoxville.
Now is when the real fun begins, though. The SEC looks to have another competitive season up ahead, and Tennessee projects to be in the mix of things. The 19th-ranked Volunteers will take on the 18th-ranked Razorbacks to kick things off this Saturday at 3:00 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
