Big game.
For those that did not see, Tennessee lost in a close game at Syracuse this week for the SEC/ACC challenge.
Tennessee is 7-2 on the season (ranked 21 in the NET) with a 1-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. Their big win was a close win against Houston, and their two losses were relatively close games against Kansas and Syracuse.
Illinois is 6-2 on the season (ranked 26 in the NET) with an 0-2 record in their Quad 1 matchups. We shall not relive those.
We've had a full week of practice. We got embarrassed against UConn. Hoping we are up for this game.
Tennessee is good, and just got embarrassed against Syracuse. The game is in Nashville, so will obviously be a semi-home game for them.
Thoughts? Expectations? Vibes?
