With nine losses on the season already, it’s not looking good for the Tennessee Volunteers’ tournament hopes.
The Vols (15-9, 6-5) are coming off a hard fought 67-58 loss to the Florida Gators.
Tennessee essentially needs to finish the rest of the season as a one-loss team in order to secure a spot in the tournament.
That won’t be easy with two games against the Missouri Tigers left on the schedule.
The Tigers (17-7, 5-6) recently broke a three-game losing streak with a 86-85 win against Arkansas.
