Alabama at #5 Tennessee is This Week's National Spotlight Game

The Alabama Crimson Tide, who have the nation's number one offense in adjusted offensive efficiency, according to KenPom, will look to travel to Knoxville and take down the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers.

The two longtime SEC rivals should provide fans with a high-scoring matchup, with the Crimson Tide leading the conference with 90 points per game. Mark Sears, the leading scorer in the conference with 19 points a game, will spearhead the offensive charge for the Crimson Tide.

On the other hand, Tennessee has had a historic performance in the last two games from their guard, Dalton Knecht. Knecht became the first Volunteer to have back-to-back games with at least 35 points since 1990 and has brought his season average up to 18 points per game.

The Crimson Tide are not a one-dimensional team either, with Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes saying, "Coach Nate Oats has the team playing better and more efficiently every week on defense."

The Volunteers are looking to extend their two-game winning streak after being upset by conference opponent Mississippi State last week. The game is Saturday, January 20, at 1 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN2.
