LIVE Updates: Tennessee vs. South Carolina

Tennessee is gearing up to take on South Carolina in an important road game, and Volunteer Country has readers covered with the latest live developments.

Few teams in college basketball can match Tennessee currently. The Volunteers are on a hot streak, including a massive win over Mississippi State earlier in the week.

The Bulldogs were one of the best defensive teams in the conference. Tennessee still managed to get into their sets and win on the offensive end while dominating the defensive side of the court.

Head coach Rick Barnes noted the number of contributors that willed the Volunteers into the win column. This is one of the deepest teams in the country, and that has been evident as of late.

The latest challenge for the Volunteers is the South Carolina Gamecocks. Carolina is struggling in year one under head coach Lamont Paris but has some good pieces and could make the game interesting.
