The matchup is a test for both teams to see where they really stand in the conference. The Volunteers are favorites in this matchup and are an advantage due to being in Knoxville this evening. Tennessee has been led by Dalton Knecht, who has been on an offensive rampage and has been very successful with the likes of Jahmai Mashack and his perimeter defensive effort. Florida is led by Walter Clayton Jr. He is averaging over 15 points, almost 16 points a game, and has been a spark plug for the Gators thus far.
The Gators upset the Volunteers in Gainesville last season, as Vols fans were visibly upset after the tough loss. Tennessee and Coach Barnes will look to get back at the Gators as they face off later tonight.
