Tennessee limps into the NCAA Tournament, fresh off of a rocky February. The Volunteers dealt with injuries and a tough finishing schedule in the final few weeks, which knocked them down a few seed lines to close things out. When the dust settled, Tennessee landed a No. 4 seed in the East Region.
They draw 13th-seeded Louisiana, the champs of the Sun Belt. The Ragin’ Cajuns are 26-7 overall, finishing second in the regular season Sun Belt standings. They rank top 50 overall in points per game with 78, good for 57th in KenPom’s offensive efficiency ratings.
