Episode 155: Top-ranked Tennessee flexing muscles again

GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down a Tennessee basketball team that suddenly looks more comfortable with the top spot in the polls and everything that comes with it. After looking a bit uneasy at times in their past three games, the Vols went to South Carolina and controlled the Gamecocks — and a hostile, sellout crowd — in a 92-70 win that had just a few moments of shakiness early in the second half. Junior guard Jordan Bowden missed Tuesday’s game with a sore knee that started bothering him during that morning’s shoot-around, but the Vols didn’t need the red-hot Knoxville native to take care of the Gamecocks. Bowden’s status — which doesn’t seem serious, but is nonetheless an issue — is discussed in this episode. Several more topics — senior wing Admiral Schofield’s bounce-back performance, senior forward Kyle Alexander’s sudden foul-trouble issues, junior point guard Jordan Bone’s strong season, Saturday opponent Texas A&M and much more — also are discussed in this episode.
