The Tennessee basketball team had another perfect week extending their winning streak to 14 games. Here is our week in review.

The Tennessee basketball team extended their winning streak to 14 games over the past week, which is the longest streak since the 1922-23 season. That team opened the 1922-23 campaign with 14 straight victories.

The Vols also extended their home winning streak to 20 games. The streak dates back to last season when the Auburn Tigers beat them on January 2, 2018.

The Vols are coming off two wins against Vanderbilt and West Virginia. Being No.1 in the country brings added pressure, something Tennessee learned last Wednesday night against the Vanderbilt Commodores.

Vandy was up six points with a minute and a half left. It looked like history was going to repeat itself with Tennessee losing in Nashville as the top-ranked team in the nation for the second time in eleven years. But, Grant Williams would not allow that to happen.

In this post, we are going to breakdown a few highlights from a 2-0 week that include a win in the SEC/Big 12 Challange for the fourth time, as well as Grant Williams breaking records. We also take a look at the two upcoming road games. We begin with another starting lineup change by Rick Barnes.
