Just when you start believing in this team, it always seems to happen. If you follow Tennessee basketball, you know exactly what I’m talking about. The Volunteers get on a roll, and then — bang. Out of nowhere they’ll have a night where they just can’t do anything right.

Tennessee opened the night in Gainesville down 17-4, as the Florida Gators started hot. No big deal though, Tennessee has been there before. Very quickly, the Volunteers settled in and battled back to a six point deficit before halftime. It didn’t take long for them to find a lead in the second half.
