The Vols enter play with a perfect 4-0 record, ranked 7th in the nation.
Rick Barnes has done an outstanding job since taking over in Knoxville and once again has a team capable of winning a national championship.
The Vols are one of the best defenses in the nation.
Senior guard Dalton Knecht has been the team's top scorer early in the year. Knecht is a transfer from Northern Colorado averaging 19.0 points per game.
Senior guard Josiah-Jordan James is off to a solid start. James is averaging 12.3 points per game and 8.0 rebounds per game.
Zakai Zeigler is slowly working his way back into his full-time role. Ziegler was injured late last season and is one of the most important parts of this Tennessee team.

Tennessee Volunteers vs. Purdue Boilermakers Picks
This should be a heck of a game, but I will back the Boilermakers tonight.
The style of play in which Tennessee plays will make it difficult for them to outlast Purdue.
The Vols have no one who can match up with Edey, and if Purdue plays through him, it will be a long night for Tennessee.
This deep Purdue team will take care of business and stay unbeaten tonight.
