Tennessee will open the SEC Tournament on Friday afternoon against Mississippi State. The Bulldogs had to work for it, but they found a way to come back from a seven-point deficit to beat LSU, 70-60. Their reward is a matchup on Friday against the top seed in the tournament.
The Volunteers took home the regular season title and will now shift their focus to tournament season. Armed with the SEC player of the year in Dalton Knecht and the SEC defensive player of the year in Zakai Zeigler, Tennessee is the clear favorite to win this tournament with +140 odds.
