One more win, just one more and the Tennessee basketball team will be dancing in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2014. The Vols opened with Iowa that year in Dayton, Ohio in the “First Four” games. After the win, Tennessee took on a Massachusetts team that had no business being a No.6 seed. And, thanks to a No.14 Mercer upset over Duke, the Vols were headed to the Sweet 16 with ease.
Tennessee has spent the entire season ranked inside the top-10 so not making the Sweet 16 could be looked upon as a failure.
