They currently have a 15-12 overall record. And they have fallen to No. 51 in the RPI, which only recognizes a 14-12 record by them and saw their schedule strength drop to No. 10 after playing the Missouri Tigers. As a result, Tennessee basketball is slipping out of the NCAA Tournament field.
The Vols did have a 20-point win over Missouri, but that team is so bad it dropped their strength of schedule six spots in the RPI.
And after a blowout loss to the Kentucky Wildcats and bad losses to the Georgia Bulldogs and Mississippi State Bulldogs, they are in some trouble.
