After a brief non-conference slate, Tennessee is set to dive into conference play. Interestingly enough, it may be their toughest conference game of the year. Cuonzo Martin’s Missouri Tigers are on deck for the Volunteers, setting up a matchup of top 15 teams.
Tennessee will hit the road to Columbia, facing a hot team on a six-game winning streak. The Tigers have climbed all the way to No. 12 in the AP Poll after starting the season unranked. They’ve been plenty impressive to this point, toppling No. 6 Illinois and No. 21 Oregon so far in the young season.
