Any Volunteers? Tennessee Can’t Hold on to Undefeated Season

There are officially no more undefeated teams in the NCAA Men's Basketball D1 league. Yesterday, No.8 seed Florida beat No.1 seed Tennessee by 30 points, thanks to their dawg defense. Tennessee also has one of the best defenses in the league, but even with a hand up, the Gators weren’t missing anything. The Vols had the opposite situation. They couldn’t make a single shot, uncontested, guarded, mid-range, three, nothing. Tennessee shot just 21% from the field, and 13% from three-point range. Another factor of this blow-out was rebounding. Florida won the box-out competition by 17 boards. Florida also got 6 more second chances on offensive glass. Tennessee appeared unbeatable, but now, the dynamic of March Madness will shift into a more competitive tournament.
