The No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers (19-4) hit the road for an SEC showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners (16-6) on Saturday at 12:00 PM ET.
The Volunteers boast a 19-4 record, with a 6-4 mark in SEC play, which places them sixth in the conference standings. They came storming out of the gates, starting the season 14-0 before a lopsided 73-43 loss to Florida halted their momentum. After bouncing back with two wins, they stumbled through a rough stretch, dropping three of their next four, including a narrow two-point defeat to Auburn. Since then, Tennessee has regained its footing, winning back-to-back games.
Last time out, Tennessee faced Missouri in a game where they trailed for much of the first half, heading into the break down by six. However, the Vols clawed their way back, eventually securing an 85-81 victory.
The Sooners, sitting at 16-6 overall, have had a rough go in SEC play, with a 3-6 conference record, placing them at 13th. Like Tennessee, they got off to a red-hot start, opening the season 13-0, only to hit a four-game skid soon after. Since then, they've been up and down, going 3-2 in their last five matchups.
Their most recent outing saw them take on Auburn, but things went south early. Auburn grabbed the lead just four minutes in and never let go, taking a double-digit advantage into halftime before cruising to a dominant 98-70 win.
