Tennessee basketball climbs the AP poll after impressive week

Tennessee basketball has risen only one spot in the AP poll this week, and now sits at 19th in the nation. The Vols have shown that they are a top team in the country and will eventually receive a low seed in the NCAA tournament, but the voters didn't put much stock in Tennessee's big week.

Rick Barnes' squad now sits at 9-3 on the year, shaking off a three-game losing streak this week. On Tuesday, Tennessee absolutely dismantled Louisville 83-62. The Vols bench outscored Louisville 34-3, showing off the impressive depth of this team.
