Georgia Tech vs. Tennessee Q&A with Rocky Top Talk
FTRS: Tennessee was picked to finish 13th in the SEC, but has begun the season 5-1 with the only loss by single-digits to Villanova. What has been the biggest difference between preseason expectations and what this team appears to be?
RTT: Returning talent and added depth. Forward Grant Williams remains the engine that makes this team go, but added production from wing Admiral Schofield and a handful of guards has really made the difference. Tennessee can go 10-11 deep now and win in a number of different ways. To be honest, the media picking this team to finish 13th in the SEC was pretty lazy. Barnes didn't lose much of this squad from last year and was able to add a few big contributors.
