They're making it look easy right now, aren't they? On Saturday night, the Tennessee Vols took on the UCLA Bruins and while the Big Ten side made things interesting in the first half, UT was able to pull away in the second half and they cruised to a 67-58 win.
Now, the Vols are officially in the Sweet Sixteen, one step closer to trying to make the Final Four for the first time in program history. Before we even start thinking about that, though, let's worry about the next round first before we look too far ahead into the future.
So, who will the Vols meet in the Sweet Sixteen? We'll find that out on Sunday, as the winner of Kentucky vs. Illinois will move on to face Tennessee with a trip to the Elite Eight on the line. A potential date with Kentucky for the third time this campaign on the way?
Tennessee will face either Kentucky or Illinois in the Sweet Sixteen
Should the Vols end up going up against Kentucky, we don't have to tell you that the Tennessee players are going to have some revenge on their minds. The two teams indeed have faced off twice already in 2024-25, with UK winning both contests.
