A freshly No. 15-ranked Missouri Tigers squad is heading down to Knoxville, Tennessee to face one of their toughest opponents of the season thus far — the No. 4-ranked Tennessee Volunteers.

Missouri is no stranger to taking down top-five ranked opponents — upsetting both the Kansas Jayhawks and Florida Gators — but it'll be a tough challenge especially on the road. Tennessee fared much better against the No. 1 Auburn Tigers, only falling 53-51.

The Volunteers have consistently been a top team in the country for the last few years, but succumbed to the Zach Edey-led Purdue Boilermakers in the Elite Eight last year. Though it was a slightly disappointing exit, they have set a standard for championship contention as a program.

"They've been top five consistently, and that's the baramoter of where they have been respected," Missouri coach Dennis Gates said in a press conference Monday. "They have great players top to bottom ... that environment is going to be a tough environment to play in, and it's my job to get our guys prepared."

Tennessee is led by senior Chaz Lanier, who is averaging 17.9 points per game as a transfer from North Florida. Mainstay Zakai Zeigler has also continued to make improvements in his senior campaign, averaging 12.3 points and 7.4 assists per game.

If the Tigers want to add on to their legitimacy further, tonight will serve as a good opportunity to do just that.
