What to Know

The Tennessee Volunteers are on the road again on Wednesday and play against the N. Carolina Tar Heels at 7:15 p.m. ET on November 29th at Dean E. Smith Center. Tennessee come into this match with the #214 defense in the league, having only allowed 61.5 points per game on average this season.

It's hard to win when your shooting is a whole 20.9% worse than the opposition, a fact Tennessee found out the hard way on Wednesday. They fell 69-60 to the Jayhawks.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Santiago Vescovi, who scored 21 points. Jonas Aidoo was another key contributor, scoring 8 points along with 11 rebounds and 3 steals.

Meanwhile, the Tar Heels didn't have too much trouble with the Razorbacks on the road on Friday as they won 87-72.

N. Carolina can attribute much of their success to RJ Davis, who scored 30 points. Davis continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Harrison Ingram, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The losses dropped the Volunteers to 4-2 and the Jayhawks to 5-1.

Tennessee is hoping to beat the odds on Wednesday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This will be their first time playing as the underdogs on the road this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Tennessee have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.7 rebounds per game. However, it's not like N. Carolina struggles in that department as they've been even better at 40.5 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
