Projected seed: 1
This Tennessee team is poised to make a significant impact in the NCAA tournament, largely thanks to its robust performances against top-tier competition and a defense that's nothing short of stifling. The squad's noteworthy victories over contenders like Alabama and Auburn showcase their ability to duke it out with the best, and their close contests with Purdue and Kansas, despite ending in losses, emphasize their competitive edge. The Vols have also consistently dominated lower-ranked teams, asserting their dominance without question. They've stumbled a bit against teams like South Carolina and Mississippi State, but these are hiccups rather than trends. This combination of triumphs and few missteps, particularly their strong finish against formidable conference opponents, cements their place among the elite.
