GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio — or the Fort Rucker Sun Room, in this case — to break down Tennessee’s recent struggles in a loss at Kentucky and an ugly home win over Vanderbilt.
The Vols lost their first game in nearly three months and their No. 1 national ranking with their loss in Rupp Arena, and they responded with an ugly 58-46 win over Vandy at Thompson-Boling Arena.
What should we make of the Vols’ past two games? Is this team fading? Or is this just a small funk every team goes through every season? That’s one of the two main topics in this episode.
The other main topic is Tennessee’s game at LSU on Saturday.
LSU is long, athletic and aggressive, and it attacks the offensive glass with vigor, and that’s at least a small concern for a Tennessee team that has been exposed at times in that area. The Tigers also have a point guard (Tremont Waters) capable of giving Jordan Bone a fair fight, which could potentially nullify an advantage both of these teams have in most games.
Where can the Vols hurt the Tigers? Where can the Tigers hurt the Vols? And what does this game mean, aside from putting the winner in pole position for an SEC championship?
Those are the questions this episode tries to answer.
