Projected seed: 1
Tennessee’s case for a top seed hinges on their impressive defense, as evidenced by their victories against high-profile opponents like Baylor and Illinois, where they showcased their ability to stifle elite offenses. Their recent wins, including a dominating performance against Louisville, highlight their offensive capabilities as well. Looking ahead, tough matchups against teams like Arkansas, Florida, and Alabama will pose challenges where maintaining their defensive intensity will be crucial. However, given their solid performance and strong position in the Southeastern Conference, they are well-positioned to not only secure a high seed but also have an impact in the NCAA tournament.
