The Tennessee basketball team has lost four of their last ten games but has a great opportunity to make a deep run. Here are five keys to making that happen.

March Madness is here y’all.

The Tennessee basketball team gets going on Friday afternoon against Colgate. Should they lose, this article really won’t matter.

But, no way that happens, right?

This isn’t going to be another game like when Chris Lofton had to bail the Vols out with a last second three-point shot?

In all seriousness, anything can happen in March. Tennessee fans saw that first hand when Loyola-Chicago and Sister Jean made their magical run to the 2018 Final Four.

Tennessee is good enough to make a deep run this season despite losing four of their last ten games.

Understanding Tennessee’s losses isn’t easy. In fact, there isn’t much correlation other than they finished the game with fewer points than the other team. However, we have five keys for a successful tournament run. If the Vols do these five things, they surely will be lifting the trophy at the end of the season.
