The Tennessee Volunteers and the Florida Gators will get together for an SEC showdown on Tuesday night in Gainesville.
The Vols come into this contest with a perfect record of 14-0. That undefeated start has Tennessee ranked first in the nation. Head coach Rick Barnes has done an outstanding job since taking over in Rocky Top. Barnes has led the Vols to six consecutive March Madness appearances. Despite many strong seasons at the helm, Barnes has yet to win a National Championship with Tennessee, but did win the NCAA title with Texas in 2008.
The Vols could not have scripted a better start to their season, and coach Barnes will have his best shot this year. Tennessee has a pair of top-25 wins, including a comfortable win over Arkansas on Saturday. The Vols know tonight will be their most challenging task of the season, and their first time as an underdog.
