StatSheet projects Tennessee to make the NIT as an eight seed, as long as they finish with a winning record. The Volunteers are sitting at #117 in the StatSheet StatRank, and their NIT bid will hang on their 13-12 overall record and 5-5 record in the SEC.
During its last four games, Tennessee picked up a quality win against AP #8 Florida and wins against South Carolina and Georgia but also suffered a loss to AP #1 Kentucky.
Tennessee is weak against top competition, with a 4-9 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 3-7 record against the RPI Top 50 and a 2-4 record against AP ranked teams. While the Volunteers have three quality wins including AP #8 Florida (2 wins) and RPI #19 Connecticut, they're weighed down by three bad losses including RPI #117 College of Charleston, RPI #211 Austin Peay, and RPI #134 Oakland.
