Tennessee has won 19 straight games and is 11-0 in the SEC, so it would take a search party to find a weak spot in the Volunteers’ game. If there is one, however, it might be this: Three-point defense.
“We still weren’t as good as we needed to be guarding the three-point line,” said Tennessee coach Rick Barnes after the Vols’ 85-73 win over South Carolina on Wednesday night.
The visiting Gamecocks made a season-high 14 three-pointers on 23 attempts for 60.9 percent in its second loss to UT this season. Tennessee beat USC 92-70 back on Jan.
