UNC vs. Tennessee: Preview, prediction, key questions for Sunday

Posted Dec 17, 2017
The easiest way to beat Tennessee is by collecting second-chance opportunities. The Volunteers have the nation’s No. 18 defense, but they rank 289th in defensive rebounding. That’s bound to happen when your two best frontcourt players are 6-5. Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield are feisty and talented. But when you’re that undersized, you can only do so much.
