LIVE Updates: Tennessee vs. Missouri

The Tennessee Volunteers are preparing for a rebound opportunity against the Missouri Tigers.

It has been a tough few weeks for the Tennessee Volunteers. They lost to two unranked squads in the final minutes; Florida's Colin Castleton had an excellent final two minutes against Tennessee, while Vanderbilt's Tyrin Lawrence hit the game-winning three on Wednesday.

Missouri provides a rebound opportunity for the Volunteers. Head coach Dennis Gates has compiled an odd yet competitive team that is likely tournament bound. The Tigers have several contributors that could hurt the Volunteers, and the orange and white must execute to win.

Forward Josiah Jordan-James will be sidelined with an ankle sprain. However, guard Santiago Vescovi had his best game since he returned from injury, logging 14 points and a big three-pointer against Vandy.

Guard Zakai Zeigler has been excellent since the Kentucky game, propelling Tennesee's offense by consistently getting them in the correct half-court set. He was recently named to the national defensive player of the year watchlist, emphasizing his impact on this Tennessee game.
